What if they did tua like Marvel where every sibling got a movie first except the movies just about how much they fucked up their own lives

I'd be so down.

Luther would be his life alone with Reginald trying his best to be a hero and hold everything together. Then disaster strikes he nearly gets killed and awakes to his body being completely altered. The few loyal fans he had, because let's face it he had no real friends, are repulsed and confused. It ends with him being given his new very important mission. The moon.

Diego is how he ended up dropping out of the police academy. His struggle with the other cadets ostracizing him, because ooh he was a super hero. Him pushing through all that, but at the end of the day he sees how police are 'supposed' to treat people and it goes against how he wants to help people. So, he eventually walks away.

Allison is about dealing with Hollywood and the sort of temptation her powers represent. Her actress friends are put in situations similar to Sally from HBO's Barry and we see her trying to use her powers for 'good' but it always backfires and ends up making things worse for herself, friends or family.

Klaus is just trying to survive. It's life with drugs and PTSD on the streets. We actually see him reach out to each of his family members at one time or another and watch them shrug Klaus off. It leads him down darker and darker paths until eventually Ben brakes through to him and you Klaus realizes he was never actually alone and he's going to try to do better for Ben.

5 in the commission. Turns out he had a partner he never talks about. Similar to how Hazel and Cha-Cha are assigned together. They both agreed to help one another to get home. He helped them, but it went south after that...

Ben's is of course the story of how he died, but it continues on after as he watches his family fall apart.

Vanya is the story of how she got her book published. It wasn't easy or exactly legal at parts.

I just can’t stop laughing over the thought that Victor Zsasz would want to hit on/hang out with Diego Hargreeves and everytime Zsasz would enter the room it would look like Klaus Hargreezes was spontaneously levitating because of the freaking flash mob of ghosts that would be attached to Zsasz.

@frustratedandcaffeinated

Myrtle Jenkins and Ben Hargreeves become fast friends. She's totally Queen of the flash mob and vows to protect Ben, before she realizes he's totally capable of holding his own.

If you mean as a kid at the table in Run Boy Run, then I think it's The Bet by Anton Chekhov. (Might be a collection ie The Bet and Other Stories)

Also Luther “dad sent me to the mOoN” Hargreeves is the youngest now!

One of you is telling me the moon made Luther younger and the other is saying the moon made him older

What is the truth! The people demand to know!

Okay. Hold on. I think I've got this.

Starting ages are oldest to youngest by number with 1 (Luther) being the oldest and 7 (Vanya) being the youngest.

Nothing has happened to effect the age of Diego, Allison, or Vanya. (At least as far as we know).

Next we have to separate it between physical age and mental age. It's the only way!

Physically, Luther, Klaus, Ben, and 5 have all been effected. Luther via space travel, Ben by death, and both Klaus and 5 via time travel. I'm going with ghosts don't age, otherwise the ghosts haunting Hazel and Cha Cha would have aged appropriately from when they were killed.

So Physically oldest to youngest is now:

Klaus, Diego, Allison, Vanya, Luthor, Ben, 5

Mentally, hands down, 5 and Klaus have had more time. I'm not sure on Luther. If I understand correctly (and feel free to correct me) since time is relative to the person experiencing it I think Luther would be the same mental age regardless of travel. It's just that he's physically younger. Also I have no idea if death affects mental age, but I'm assuming it doesn't.

So if I'm right, Mentally oldest to youngest is now:

5, Klaus, Luthor, Diego, Allison, Ben, Vanya

If I'm wrong just move Luther to the end of the line.

If we combine the two together by mean order placement ('cause I'm a mad scientist). 5, Luthor and Allison are all evenly ranked. Ben is the babe and Klaus is oldest brother.

Oldest to youngest is:

Klaus, Diego, (5, Allison, Luthor), Vanya, Ben

Unless I'm wrong about Luthor then:

Klaus, Diego, Allison, 5, Vanya, Ben, Luthor

I feel like it's definitely true Klaus was treated as the little brother, (while Diego and Luther got to fight over who was the oldest) and I feel it shows in the way Klaus acts around 5.

Now that he's visibly older than 5 he feels the need to behave like a big brother for the first time and he's reacts with uncertainty and protectiveness, because he doesn't really know what to do, but Diego and Luther are always trying to protect people so he figures that's gotta be what he's supposed to do.

Also on Ben, from what's shown of him in the comics (it's sadly very little and all the characters are a bit different), I'd say he's definitely a little brother.

He's just sort of adorable and wants to help out and hopes he's doing things right (re: to make dad proud).

However, in the show, I feel like, if he had lived, he might have been more of the family mediator. Not trying to pick sides, but trying to make sure everyone had a fair share or fading into the background in arguments when it got to be too much. In short I feel like he's got strong middle child energy.
