TUA: Season 2 and the comics

***spoilers sort of I guess. It’s been a while since I last saw season 1 and even longer since I’ve last read the comics so I probably don’t remember all the details, but I remember the important bits. ***

First, lets talk about how season one ended in the comics. In the comics they just sort of... succeeded? Vanya was still going to be the cause of it and they had to hurt her to stop her (she’s confined to a bed/wheel chair iand has memory problems but she was on the mend) but they actually did it, not time travel to escape impending death necessary like in the show. Now, the problem with this is that the commission very much still has a bone to pick with five either way, it’s just for a different issue.In the comics and the show Five figures out while working for the commission the ‘correct’ formula, abandons his mission, and heads home. In the comics, after the stopping of the apocalypse, the head of the commission (the fishbowl head guy???) blackmails five into going back in time and completing the mission to kill the president to stop the destruction of the world. He does so by threatening to kill the women who eventually gives birth to five. Five then drags Allison into everything because he needs her help. Comic book Allison is much more bitter, angry, and abrasive than show Allison so she adamantly refuses at first. It’s only after five explains how the commission is blackmailing him, then reveals that he and Luther are straight up twins (meaning if five fails and the commission kills his mom it’ll be killing Luther too) does she agree. I don’t really remember all the details, but basically they go back in time, have Allison one as JFK’s wife to get close to him, then says “I heard a rumor you were assassinated” (in the comics Allison can alter/create reality around her, such as “I heard a rumor you have an advanced copy of a book tats not written yet” and then it would be true. I think this if their take on the impossible bullet thing), and meet fives past self who abandons the mission and said encounter is followed by young body but older ind five and older body but younger mind five hurling insults at each other for a while. After completing the mission five is so furious to having been dragged back into this he just, no hesitation, straight up murders the head of the commission and goes about his life as ‘normal.’ Based on the trailer its pretty clear that this is the inspiration for season two, so why is it that JFK being alive results in another apocalypse? according to the head of the commission it’s because he gives his nuclear codes to some...interested parties that fast track an all out nuclear war, so five(s) have to kill him before he gets the chance to give up the codes.

Thats the general gist of what to expect going forward, however there are a few other things from the comics I’m hoping to see or that could be brought up:

1. Five and the prolific serial killer DNA - when five was first ‘hired’ but the commission (in the comics it’s a bit more like kidnapping from the middle of a time stream jump but whatever) they altered his DNA by infusing it with the most prolific serial killers throughout history. They. did this mostly to help him become an assassin and it very clearly fucked with his mind - and we know that the commission in the show is capable of similar things - the handler said they were building him a new body, which implies they have cloning and DNA alteration down, as well as a way to transfer either someone's consciousness or actual physical brain from one body to another, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that they experimented on five in some way. And if they did then we know those alterations would still apply to his younger body because even the tracking chip was still in his arm after reverting to a younger physical form, so it’s unlikely other alterations have been undone. 

2. Five and his puppy - Five gets a tiny dog. Where is this dog. Please give this (not a) young boy his emotional support animal. 

3. Klauses powers - the show has taken some liberties with the interpretations of the characters powers, such as changing Diegos power to controlling knives when in the comics those were just his preferred weapons and his actual power was that he didn’t need to breath. Klaus however got cheated out of levitation. Give me some flying cult-deity Klaus, I need it. 

4. in the comics Allison and Luther were never a thing. Allison did have a small crush on Luther on and off, and had a terrible and fucked up time after her divorce and she did at one point say to author ‘I had a rumor you’ve always wanted to kiss me’ and then they kissed, and they they went back to normal. I would really like to know if she did something similar in the series and if that's why Luther is so one track mind about her. My point being is that there could be a major fallout between their characters depending on if this aspect of the story is pursued

5. Five is seconds away from a full on mental break down. Can his siblings please just love and support him for one second my god.

6. in the comics Hargreeves monocle was actually like a weird magical item? when looking through it you could see someone for what they truly were. For example, at one point in the comics five looks at pogo while wearing it and sees him as a young normal chimp, then a series of excruciating, nauseating, horrific experiments Hargreaves conducted in order to make him into the pogo we know from season 1. We never got to see anyone use it in season 1 cause Diego dropped it in the river, but It might come up now that Hargreaves is alive in the past.
