I just find it so funnily cruel that Original Timeline Reginald adopted 7 children with superpowers, got scared of their powers, and consciously minimized them and tortured them in order to break their spirits and not let their powers grow too much. Then 1960s Reginald found out that the Umbrellas weren’t strong enough nor had cohesion as a team (due to their father’s terrible parenting) and got so repulsed that he raised a different set of children by training them harder and cutting off their only two sources of “human” connection and affection (Pogo and Grace, by firing Pogo and stripping Grace from her “mother” status)… all for said children to turn exactly into what Original Timeline Reg feared, which is against him and overpowering him to a point he could no longer use them lol he managed to fuck up twice lol
