The Umbrella Academy (2019)

The Umbrella Academy features prominent LGBTQ+ characters, including Viktor Hargreeves's transgender journey and Klaus Hargreeves's pansexuality. The show handles these identities with sensitivity, depicting characters with dignity, complexity, and agency. Their queer identities are affirmed and supported by the narrative and other characters, contributing to a largely positive portrayal.

The show features female characters who are highly skilled in physical combat. Cha-Cha, a trained assassin, consistently defeats male opponents in close-quarters fights using martial arts. Lila Pitts, also a formidable fighter, demonstrates superior hand-to-hand combat skills against male characters like Diego.

The character Cha-Cha, who is canonically male in the source comic books, is portrayed as female in the show adaptation. This constitutes a clear instance of a gender swap.

The character Allison Hargreeves, who is visually depicted as white in the original comic book series, is portrayed by a Black actress in the television adaptation.
