Ben is one of the members of the Umbrella Academy, or rather was one of the members since he died during a mission. Number 6 (his order in the Hargreeves siblings) is also called "Horror", which says a lot about Ben's super power...The Umbrella Academy is the series produced by Netflix. The central plot is based on the mysterious births, on the same day and while the mothers are not pregnant, of babies with exceptional gifts. An eccentric billionaire, Sir Reginald Hargreeves decides to adopt seven of them to found The Umbrella Academy, a team of superheroes whose goal is to protect and save the world.Sir Hargreeves educated the seven children very harshly, without love or compassion, focusing on training and responsibility. Thankfully, the siblings were able to rely on the affection of Grace, the one they call Mom but who is actually a father-made android, and Pogo the genetically modified chimpanzee who serves as butler at Hargreeves Manor.Ben's power is quite extraordinary as he has the ability to pull four tentacles out of his body that become extremely powerful and dangerous weapons. Although he is dead, Ben is very present in Umbrella Academy because his brother Klaus has the power to see and talk to the dead. So the two exchange regularly, and Ben seems to have aged with his siblings as if he had gone on with his life. Ben is an unfailing support for Klaus, but also for his other siblings who could well count on him in case of danger ...So Number Six has a POP in his effigy where Funko chose to make a (successful) nod to the last episode of season 1, the one where we finally discover Ben's powers and his ability to act on the living.Ben's POP presents him as a young man dressed in a casual outfit: hoodie and leather jacket. We find Ben's naive face, but he is angry and uses his powers by making the tentacles come out of his belly. He holds his fists closed and the four tentacles seem to grow out of his body.The figurine is completely blue, with a slight shiny effect at the tentacles, reminding that Ben is only a ghost, although...Note: Ben's POP with the tentacles also exists in a Glow in the Dark version.
