Sloane Hargreeves is one of six new super Sparrows introduced by The Umbrella Academy season 3 but how do her gravity-based powers work exactly?
She has no Wicked Witch of the West but heres how Sloane is defying gravity in The Umbrella Academy season 3. After the original Hargreeves siblings altered time in 1963 Sir Reginald assembled an entirely different group of superheroes. Dubbed the Sparrow Academy this team is more disciplined than its Umbrella counterpart but much less fun to be a member of. Among the more friendly and enduring!) Sparrow members is Genesis Rodriguezs Sloane Hargreeves who survives familial treachery and jealous exes to marry Luther. For a little while at least.
Created by the same "marigold" particles as Sir Reginald's other children, Sloane Hargreeves is blessed with a unique superpower. Essentially, she's able to lift objects in the air. That includes dangling Luther just before the Sparrow Academy abducts him, and dangling with Luther just after the Sparrow Academy lets him go free. As with most Umbrella and Sparrow members Sloanes technique is not clearly defined. The mechanics of her powers, her limitations and weaknesses and her untapped potential are all left for the audience to deduce themselves, and with Sloane Hargreeves nowhere to be seen in The Umbrella Academy season 3's finale, further information is not necessarily coming in season 4.
Sloane's power is somewhat deceptive, appearing very much like telekinesis or flying without technically being either. Sloane's marigold gift allows her to remove an object or person's gravity, letting it/them float. But Sloane can seemingly alter an object's gravity too. This is evident in the Sparrow Number Five's very first scene, which shows her reading a book upside down on the ceiling. Sloane hasn't just detached herself from the Earth's gravitational pull (which would mean she just floats through the air aimlessly), she's redirecting gravity to pin herself onto the ceiling. It's these rules that allow siren-Sloane to gently coax Luther through her window, or make a door close, or run up a wall, etc.
