[The Umbrella Academy]How is Klaus any more use than Vanya in combat/crime fighting situations?

so he can talk to the dead and sometimes manifest them in reality, ....how does any of that make him useful for, say, stopping a bank robbery?

There's two hands to this. On one hand, their adoptive father is so pumped about people having superpowers that he's blinding himself to the actual tactical issues with using taking to the dead as a combat superpower, on top of the problems of *sending children into combat situations*. On the other, the ability to talk to dead people could be extremely useful as an intel gathering tool; if the bank robbers had already blown someone away, Klaus could bring them back and ask questions about what's going on in there.

Of course, on the specific question of Klaus vs Vanya, >!Vanya is a human time bomb, and it's not worth the danger of putting her in a high stress situation.!<
