The Umbrella Academy (Series)/Viktor Hargreeves

**Viktor Hargreeves**, originally designated at Number Seven, is one of the 43 children who were all born on October 1, 1989, in *The Umbrella Academy* Netflix series. He was adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves and became a member of the Umbrella Academy.

## Powers and Abilities

**Sound Manipulation:** Viktor is able to manipulate sound to his desire, converting it into energy and physical force that he can utilize in various ways. His abilities are heavily linked to his emotional state and often act aggressively in response to Viktor's fear and anger. When his abilities were fully unleashed, Viktor was able to activate them with conscious effort, which only improved the more control he gained over them. Along with the rest of his siblings, he no longer possesses these powers in the reset universe.

* **Sound Absorption:** Viktor's abilities are reliant on him being in contact with sound, causing him to resonate with sound and energy similar to a tuning fork. When absorbing enough sound and harnessing his energy to its fullest, his skin becomes pale and gray and his irises turn white, as his body begins to generate blue and white light. Additionally, Viktor's demeanor sometimes changes into a cold, impassive state, ruthlessly harming or even killing those who have caused Viktor significant anger, irritation, and stress. While in this trance of tranquil fury, Viktor has been shown to hallucinate younger versions of himself, which encourages him to take his anger and vengeance out on those who have wronged him.
	+ **Energy Conversion:** Viktor is able to absorb sound and convert it into various forms of energy, essentially converting the sound waves he absorbs into any other form of existing energy.
	+ **Sonic Blasts:** Viktor is able to generate and control sound waves and vibrations to devastating effects, such as knocking people backwards or even destroying buildings. When he first began to experience his powers in adulthood, he would radiate sound waves in the form of transparent ripples of force. When he became upset during a confrontation in a parking lot, he unleashed a multi-directional shockwave that send three fully grown men flying across a parking lot, leaving two dead and one critically injured. His sound waves caused the Umbrella Academy mansion to experience a powerful tremor that caused the building to collapse, as well as generate a blast of force that sent a car flying rapidly across several city blocks.
	+ **Forcefield Generation:** Viktor's sound-based energy can be shaped into protective barriers that are capable of absorbing intense amounts of force. During an alternate 1963, Viktor was able to shield himself from a Soviet tank round by projecting a barrier that was strong enough for the round to explode against it harmlessly. He was additionally capable of causing a bullet to shatter harmlessly against the transparent barrier when he instinctively generated it due to one of the Swedes shooting at him at point blank range, which then burst out into a shockwave that repelled the assassin.
	+ **Matter Transmutation:** During his concert and subsequent battle with his siblings, the energy Viktor generated also somehow altered the color of his clothing and violin, turning them both white. He did the same to his civilian wear in an alternate 1963 after accidentally destroying the floor of a building he was being interrogated in by the FBI.
* **Life Force Absorption:** Viktor can also seemingly drain energy from individuals, either a single target or a group, making the affected physically weaker or causing them extreme fatigue. He once used this power to drain his brothers' of their energy with a beam of sound.
* **Telekinesis:** Through the manipulation of sound waves, Viktor can move and control objects with his mind. Offensively, he is able to immobilize, restrain, constrict, and repel others with his energy. As a child, an irritated Viktor would cause several nannies to be sent flying across the room, out of a window, or down the stairs. When confronting Leonard Peabody, he projected and manipulated the sound waves around him, levitating him above the ground and holding him in a crushing grip. After his mind wipe due to time traveling back to 1963, he managed to empty an entire pond by causing the water to rise into the air; he managed to keep it suspended while not actively focused on it, giving him sufficient time to carry Harlan Cooper from the pond and onto dry land before the water fell back down.
	+ **Flight:** Viktor is able to lift and propel himself through the air using the forces he creates out of sound.
* **Atmokinesis:** Viktor is able to manipulate the weather to a certain extent and is able to make it rain when he is sad or angry. While leaving the Hargreeves Estate after an argument with his family, his anger caused thunder and rainfall that was isolated to the street he was on.
	+ **Aerokinesis:** He seems to be able to generate wind when radiating his sound-based energy.
* **Hyperacusia:** While training in the forest, Viktor was able to hear things which would normally be impossible for the average human to hear through concentration. For example, he was able to hear the chimes from the cabin. He can focus on specific sounds and block out all others no matter how loud they are.
* **Power Bestowal:** Viktor can share his powers with others, as he accidentally did with Harlan.
	+ **Psychic Link:** Viktor shares a mental connection to whoever he shares his powers with.
	+ **Power Removal:** Viktor can also remove the powers from those he shares them with.
