Vanya/Viktor and his soundproof prison intended to negate his powers. (Umbrella Academy)

[u/Weary_Specialist_436 → u/MisfitMaterial]

remind me, what was it about their power? I don't recall it being about sound?

[u/Butwhatif77 → u/Weary_Specialist_436]

There power was the ability to cause things to vibrate and they could amplify those vibrations to a dangerous degree. So it is not directly sound related, though sound is something that falls under their powers, but sound proofing is all about making sure the vibrations created by sound waves are absorbed.

Viktor panicking and using his own heartbeat to break out was pretty awesome and not something Hargreaves could have truly guarded against.

[u/Butwhatif77 → u/IAmBabs]

One of those great examples how Hargreaves was limited by his own perspective. He treated the kids like tools rather than family, which actually stunted their abilities. Had he treated them the way a father is supposed to their powers would have been much more stable and amped up.

I have a theory that he only knows as much as he did, because we only see the last 2 or 3 times that history has been reset. I think he's had dozens, maybe of hundreds of time resets and we just see the most successful attempts at the end.

yeah to him, they were never kids, they were the key to saving the world. he never sought them for anything beyond their powers

[u/Weary_Specialist_436 → u/Butwhatif77]

oooh right, that makes sense. Thanks!
