- [2] of unknown origin in the Sparrow timeline. He was adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves and became a member of the Sparrow Academy. Christopher Hargreeves is a psykronium cube
Biography[]
Christopher was born on October 1, 1989, one of sixteen children born to women who had not been pregnant at the start of the day. He and six other of these children was adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves and raised as a member of the Sparrow Academy, a team of superheroes.[1]
Meeting The Umbrella Academy[]
Alongside the rest of the Sparrows, Christopher met the Umbrella Academy after they time travelled from 1963, and landed in the timeline-alternate 2019 Academy. [3] When the Sparrows and Umbrellas begin to fight, Christopher battles Diego and seemingly wins.[3] When Viktor releases an energy wave, Christopher is amongst the Sparrows hit. When the Umbrella Academy and the Sparrow Academy teamed up to stop the Kugelblitz, Christopher contained it inside his cube-like body with the help of Viktor, Lila, and Sloane.
Death[]
Celebrating the supposed prevention of the Kugelblitz and soon-to-be departure from Ben, Fei clinked glasses with Christopher, causing a resonating vibration that compromised the Dyson Sphere and reopened the Kugelblitz.[4] Reopened, the Kugelblitz sent out another shockwave, killing Fei and Christopher, and destroying the Academy.[4] As of his death, Christopher's supernatural box nature and appearance was never explained, so the fans have been left wondering if (and how) Christopher's mother gave birth to a box, instead of a child, like the other Umbrellas, Sparrows and Lila.
