Played by Jake Epstein, Alphonso can reflect damage from enemies during fights
At the beginning of the third season of Umbrella Academythe public is introduced to the members of the Sparrow Academyresponsible for replacing the brothers of the umbrella on the modified timeline. One of the heroes of the new team that drew a lot of attention is Alphonso Hargreevesplayed by Jake Epsteinwho has a disfigured face.
The character’s powers consist of reflecting the damage he takes on opponents – any wounds he sustains resonates with whoever inflicted the attack. Despite deflecting damage, Alphonso still has a rather deformed face, and is even called a “bubble.” It is worth remembering how he is the Number four gives Sparrow Academy.
the powers of Alphonsoreferred to as “Empathic Masochism,” are seen for the first time in the opening fight between the umbrella and Sparrow. he challenges Allison punch him, and she does, but the punch has a recoil effect and damages the character played by Emmy Raver-Lampman.
Why is Alphonso’s face deformed?
a scene of flashback in the dojo showed how the face of Alphonso he was less disfigured in the past, and this suggested how his powers must have some effect on him. Whether it’s from sustaining repeated injuries to the face or simply because the skills have changed the face in some other way over time. That is, the 3rd season of Umbrella Academy indicates how the character was not born that way.
As Screen Rant reported, it may be Alphonso not be immune to damage, but powers can have a cumulative effect. Over time, as he takes damage, wear and tear begins to show on his body. Also, his skill is not automatic. As shown in the fight against Diego (David Castaneda), it can definitely take damage over time, because not every attack Diego reflected.
