The Umbrella Academy
Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Umbrella Academy season 4.
Like several other members of the titular team,Klaus' ability gets upgraded throughout the series.
Ben isn’t the only spirit Klaus can communicate with, either.
Fortunately, it does explore the extent of his power in seasons 3 and 4.
Reginald teaches Klaus to master his resurrection skills, and they save the day later on.
He gives Luther just enough time to defeat Hotel Oblivion’s last guardian and say goodbye to Sloane.
However, Klaus can’t keep Luther in the living world for very long.
And the marigold Allison gives Klaus grants him a bit more than his former abilities.
Klaus' upgrades are in line with the other Hargreeves' enhancements after taking the marigold.

Klaus' upgrades are in line with the other Hargreeves' enhancements after taking the marigold.
When he can access this power, it creates a vicious cycle.
Klaus uses his powers, then tries to shut them off and this, unfortunately, repeats itself.
Klaus is much stronger inThe Umbrella Academycomics, as his abilities go far beyond channeling the dead.
This might be why season 4 shows him flying to make up for what was cut.
Of course, it’s easy to see whyThe Umbrella Academydownplays Klaus' abilities from the comics.

They’d likely overshadow the other Hargreeves' powers, making Klaus the clear standout of the bunch.
Including them would also make it difficult for enemies to get the upper hand against the Hargreeves.
It makes sense, story-wise, that the Netflix series goes a different route.
However, it is a bit disappointing that we never see Klaus at his full, comic-accurate potential.
However, as they grew older, the siblings grew apart as they dealt with their trauma.
