Is Sloane Missing From The Umbrella Academy? What's The Story?
For those caught up on The Umbrella Academy Season 4, you might be wondering what happened to Sloane. She had a key role in the earlier seasons but appears completely erased from Season 4. We explore Sloane's disappearance, how it relates to The Umbrella Academy's overall storyline and what's the deal with this overlooked character.
Where Did Sloane Go?
- Sloane (played by Genesis Rodríguez) is from the Sparrow Academy. In The Umbrella Academy Season 3, after the time-traveling mess, things change, and the Umbrellas end up in a world where Reginald Hargreeves went for the Sparrow Academy, instead of the original Umbrella Academy.
- She has the power of gravity manipulation which allows her to fly, too. But her disappearance has sparked tons of questions! Is she still in existence, or was she simply erased from this alternate timeline?
- It is important to know that she and Luther Hargreeves from The Umbrella Academy were romantically involved! Allison (his sister) isn't too happy about it and made a deal with Reginald. Maybe she did something drastic that left Sloane erased?
Sloane's Fate Is Up for Debate!
- After the big ending of The Umbrella Academy Season 3, the siblings have been reunited (in Reginald's timeline), but none of them have powers and their powers aren't explained as to how they get their powers back. And there is no mention or explanation for Sloane's whereabouts.
- Some fans are thinking that Sloane might be out there, living a regular life. Other Umbrella Academy fans are wondering if she might have been locked up by Reginald or his 'council', maybe against her will?
- But it seems strange that the whole Umbrella Academy crew - especially Luther, who is super close with Sloane - wouldn't even talk about her! Maybe they think they erased her with their actions somehow?
- Did Reginald wipe her from existence as a result of some kind of plan or a desperate measure? We may never know, and there was even an absence of any indication or evidence that he'd tried to locate Sloane even once, so fans are questioning where she's disappeared too!
- We definitely had an idea that there was more going on, with Luther searching for her after the ending of Season 3! That really left people wondering and trying to work out theories.
- The show writers did give us the details of the 'Cleanse', and many people suspect Sloane was essential to putting that to rights - but we never found out how. It doesn't make sense, and fans are asking for some answers!
The Bigger Story of The Umbrella Academy
Whether the series decides to address this mystery in any potential spin-offs or sequels remains to be seen, as fans keep thinking about the series on Netflix.
For those of you unfamiliar, The Umbrella Academy is based on the comic books by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá! It's about seven "superpowered" individuals who have their special abilities, and a father - Reginald Hargreeves - who trained them. The group struggles as they get older - as we see over all the seasons, from season one to season four. In a last-minute twist, the "umbrella siblings" discover that the apocalypse is on the way, so their mission in every season has been to figure out how to save the world! We saw their journeys in the first season through the second, before discovering that their 'powers' were somehow being taken away. This meant they had a harder time stopping the apocalypse and caused them to face the events in season four.
