This article contains spoilers for The Umbrella Academy season 3.

Following the recent premiere of The Umbrella Academy season 3, Justin H. Min announces he is overjoyed fans hate his new version of Ben. On The Umbrella Academy, Min acts alongside Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, and Elliot Page. In seasons 1 and 2, Min portrayed the ghost of one of the Umbrella siblings. Ben (Number Six) passed away prior to the events of The Umbrella Academy season 1, but audiences were privy to his lingering presence due to Klaus’ (Sheehan) ability to communicate with the dead.

Number Six presents quite introverted, but his closeness to his brother allows for a glimpse of a caring and somewhat sarcastic attitude to come through. The end of The Umbrella Academy season 2 saw Ben officially move on, effectively finishing his story. However, as the siblings return to the future, they are reunited with a very different version of Ben leading Reginald Hargreeves’ Sparrow Academy. Hargreeves was prompted by the events of The Umbrella Academy season 2 to adopt different children, hoping for a better outcome, with Ben as the only original member. The intense Sparrow Academy environment sculpted a new arrogant Ben with a bull-headed focus on becoming his team’s Number One, and this change has garnered strong reactions from fans.
