50 Facts about the Umbrella Corporation 

The novel series by S.D. Perry actually does explain the meaning of red and white, they were actually two separate divisions of Umbrella. Red Umbrella was the bio-weapond division while White Umbrella was the Pharmaceutical and business division

Fun fact, umbrella created the first aid sprays, and the first aid sprays have a small amount of t virus in them to promote rapid healing, which is most likely the reason why the protagonists can all get bit by zombies and not get infected, they have an acquired immunity without realizing it.

The Umbrella Corporation. Our Business is Life Itself.

Technically cloning is a thing in the games as the T103 Tyrants were produced in 1998 from modified clones of the T-002 Tyrant, and Sergei Vladimirs clones were instrumental in the tyrant project.

I got a few flu shots from that RLSW Biotech company a few years back. One of the doctors told me I was "a real G for choosing them." What a nice place. My eye has been itchy but I'm sure it's just allergies.😊

Commitment, Honesty, Integrity These are the core values of the Umbrella Corporation

Spencer’s Letter to Miranda in RE Village actually says he was so inspired by his time with her that’d he’ll make the logo of his new company an Umbrella, inspired by the symbol they saw on the caves. It doesn’t explain the coloring, but it’s definitely a clear inspiration for the origins of the logo’s shape. ⛱️

Here's a fact that few people remember: Avon cosmetics released an anti aging ointment and injectable that was marketed looking exactly like the blue vials of T-virus from the live action Resident Evil movie. The commercials were eerily similar, you wouldn't know the difference without the Umbrella/Avon logo showing on screen.

Nice, woke up to this

I love this video series! Regarding point 33, in my opinion, an umbrella was chosen as the company's logo because the Spencer family crest also casually resembles an umbrella and the idea of a pharmaceutical company 'protecting' you with its products is perfect! How much I miss dear old Umbrella! Greetings from Italy!

I hope we get more Umbrella story in the new resident evil games. I really really miss how resident evil started with this evil corparation and viruses and not the whole planet is in danger and we fighting rocks XD

Funny thing about the green umbrella logo company in China I actually wrote that in my project about the Covid outbreak for a project in March in high school. That was a fun time. I wrote it as a joke of course but loved making jokes with my cousins who were fans of the games. It was March of 2020 so I made that project as the epidemic was happening 😂

I remember first time playing Mercenaries in RE3 back in the day and seeing the mysterious man in the chair. I was a fan beginning with OG RE so I already knew RE2 like the back of my hand and I was thinking...you guys aren't fooling anybody, that's 100% Chief Irons. lol

"50 facts about" are some of my favourite videos 😅

I get all my RE knowledge by watching your videos! Love it! Thank you.

Awesome video Kai, it would be very interesting if the main villain for RE9 turns out to be the 4th founding member of umbrella.

Awesome video as always Kai. I started watching your facts videos again yesterday since I was stuck at home during the winter storm and had nothing else to do. Love the hard work you put into these videos. Hope you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I was kinda expecting to hear Mother Miranda from the history part of Umbrella. Wasn't she the life long teacher/proffessor of Ozwell Spencer and the other? Idk.. Great video as always!!!❤

4:18 it is hinted in Village that Spencer took the Umbrella logo from Miranda's ancestors. It probably was meant as a coat of arms.

Idk if you can find 50 facts but with all the resident evil games out now i wonder if anyone can make a layout of raccoon city. But as always this was a great video. I learned something new.

Didn’t they explain in Village that Spencer stated he named the company after the villages symbol and stated how the symbol reminded him of an umbrella.

I love your file readings, and since First Aid Spray Podcast is having casting calls for file readings, I'm excited! You were the first RU-vidr that I found doing readings, and I'm taking my shot, being inspired by you.

I genuinely think Umbrella may be older and more established than it’s perceived. Because even though Spencer founded Umbrella Corp, it still doesn’t explain how far back their ancestors go or were involved with genetic engineering. Because Spencer merely was inspired by the original Umbrella found in Romania. There was already an alliance of 4 Kings, in which Dimitrescu was already cultivating their blood borne disease. You also have the Travis family that originally provided the outline for eugenics that inspired Spencer, with Travis’ roots later becoming Tricell, which folded into Wesker’s splinter of Umbrella’s ideology. Also including Los Illuminados that was involved in Umbrella’s research on Los Plagas, and the Ndipaya tribe that originally cultivated Stairway to the Sun. I don’t think Umbrella Corp. was just a company at all, I think it genuinely was a secret society of aristocrats across the world, like Freemasons or Illuminati. Spencer only incorporated the organization into a company in order by the 19th century to obtain more political influence, which it did by contracting work with the US, Russia, and other major countries. He could just be the brainchild for a mass network of aristocrats whom the world hasn’t seen yet. Which we just saw remnants of the 4 Lords finally revealed, the inspiration for Spencer’s Umbrella Corp. While Umbrella itself has history that traces throughout the millennia dating back to 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. I guarantee they were a secret society before Spencer converted the organization into a modern company as a cover for their aristocratic and demented culture. I think all Spencer did was incorporate Umbrella into the company, and gave administrative access to aristocrats and politicians across the world. Which caused the downfall, collapse, and splintering of a centuries old society, not just a company.

The umbrella insignia is based off the insignia representing the 4 ruling families from Resident Evil Village.

My biggest issue with the resident evil movies besides Alice being a Mary Sue is how they handled umbrella. There's some seriously insidious stuff that happens with umbrella and the effect it has on a local town, I'd love to see a movie where they tackle that as well as focusing on the monsters.

I always assumed the name Umbrella was a reference to the Nuclear Umbrella. The idea that 1 nuke equipped country would protect non nuke equipped countries in exchange for allied status. In Umbrella's case, the Bioweapons division is the nuke and all of its other divisions are "under the umbrella"

Great video series! I’d love to see you cover facts about the novels, especially since they have a unique identity and helped introduce things that are canon, like naming Barry’s daughters.

“we had a good run, and by good, I mean evil”

Little fact for 33, the Umbrella logo was chosen by the emblem in a Romanian cave confirmed by Resident Evil Village. Not sure why white and red, though the black is likely mold.

I’m surprised you haven’t done a video on 50 facts about Alyssa Ashcroft. I’ve seen you made a lot of outbreaks characters but not her 😭 I love binging your videos. Your catalog is huge

Even though Umbrella is done for the mainline games it seems like the BSAA is the next big threat as the company has become more and more corrupted has time has progressed with them even using bio weapons on some missions as we see at the end of RE8 where one of the soldiers is revealed to be a bio weapon. Also since more Resident Evil remakes are being made it’s likely we’ll see the company again in something like an RE5 Remake or a Code Veronica Remake.

4:26 you mentioned that "you don't know from where the logo is coming from" In Resident Evil Village we learned that the umbrella logo was borrowed from Mother Miranda's four lords by Spencer.

Wait you said Umbrella Chronicles is canon and then said the RE games feature no cloning, but Umbrella Chronicles establishes the Mr. X line is made of clones of Sergei...

the umbrella logo comes from the painting in village representing the houses.

That turtle got me 😂

There is one more umbrella company inspired by RE Umbrella in Serbia. They used to have literal umbrella logo, but they changed it like 10 years ago. They are still called umbrella and they sell vapes and e-cigs

It always come around to Wesker. Amazing vid and fun to know these information dealing with anything RE.

I love your videos Kai! Thank you for always posting the best RE content.

Good morning!!! Great content as usual Kai!!

Been playing a bunch of RE games for years but wasn't aware that the lore of Umbrella was this deep, very interesting. I'd listen to hours of this content any day

Always love this channel for RE content. Never ceased to amaze

Thank you for making these videos! They’re so much fun.

Nice video man! I have some ideas for 50 facts videos you could make. I was thinking Helena Harper, Ramon Salazar, and Barry Burton, although I think you might have done one for Barry but I don’t remember lol.

Another fantastic facts countdown you put so much time and effort.

Always something new and cool to learn! Thanks Kai!

They got their original design from Mother Miranda. In RE8 village you can see a bunch of symbols that looked like Umbrellas logo. They just added the color.

great stuff Kai, as always :)

Partially related, in Serbia there is also a brand of vapes that is LITERALLY named Umbrella and uses their logo.

Do you think that you can do another Silent Hill facts video please? Especially a video on Lisa Garland cuz she’s my favorite Silent Hill character ever and I wanna see what it is you can uncover about her in terms of facts and trivia that aren’t too well known.

I love your channel, I've been a subcriber for several years now, greetings from Mexico!

There's a welding company in my city called Umbrella Welding with the logo, but in green. I'm sure its used world-wide by nerds like us.

Love waking up to your videos :)

Love this series!

Good morning Ink Ribbon thanks for another fantastic video I hope you have an awesome new year!😎👍

Very detailed and informative video as always 👌 but you have forgot the other Umbrella island base of RE Gun Survivor, and other high ranking Umbrella employees like in RE Outbreak 1&2 and RE Dead Aim

According to the official wiki (and I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned this) the origin of the name and logo is actually from the "Four Houses" symbol shown in Village which is in the shape of a umbrella

Absolutely love your channel

Great Video kai 👍

My neighbors WiFi is named "umbrella_corp" lol

I would absolutely love and think that a big budget tv series of Resident Evil would totally work and be successful if done right!

Lmao man, I’m laying here trying to fall asleep while listening to your video. Your damn turtle noise made me burst out laughing, now I’m wide awake. Thanks -_-

These kind of videos are awesome! Love fact videos. On top of it being about my favorite games

Thanks for doing the research

That was pretty sweet explanations, my friend. Awsome job. ✌️🫠

There should be an ongoing 50 facts on such a great and scary and long run game please make more!

Awesome video Kai keep it up

I wonder if umbrella has any more subsidiaries out there, like sombrilla or quitasol. 🤔 ⛱️

Excellent video👏

There is a body of water in the Bahamas called Turtle Sound. Probably at least a couple others around the world, just like how Crystal Lake is the name of dozens of lakes in the US.

the umbrella logo is actually based on Mirandas crest. The red and white was added later to make it look like an umbrella. Village had a note with spencer outright saying he was borrowing it

Always know your videos will be good 🔥💯

Ooooo 50 facts about the weapons from Resident Evil! How to unlock certain ones, version exclusives that's sort of thing!

6:25 Ah Man, i remember the resident evil memes like this during the Lockdowns. 😂

So in the games it has been around 20 years that Umbrella was destroyed but if you ask any gamer that knows about the RE series but haven[t played they will still tell you that Umbrella is still around and do all these weird things even though that out of the main 9 games they were present in 4 of them only... Also there are 2 real life companies that use the symbol of Umbrella Corporation and one of them was near the epicenter of the Pandemic that started ind 2019. I mean really. What are the chances???

6:45 They even misspelled "Raccoon"

Yay another Ink Ribbon video

"We don't know why the Island's base was only badly damaged in Code veronica, considering the Antarctic base was vaporized." Umbrella has seen The Thing, they know what's up.

Umbrella: *"Hear our ferocious war cry!"* *insert turtle wheezing noises*

10:49 yeah, I’m pretty sure Alexia is not coming back from that or being absolutely vaporized with the linear launcher. and good.

There is an Umbrella vape shop here in Belgrade, they also had to remove the exect same company logo from ingame few years ago xD

Excellent job I love it

Cool video. Thanks man

Ink ribbon is back yay!

3:45 Turtle's Sound 🐢 🎼 . I learned something new today 😮.

The umbrella logo origins were found by spencer in cave when he met Miranda in or near the Romania area, that’s where the umbrella logo came from (Resident Evil 8)

Top 10 badass moments of Jill, Chris, learn, Claire etc..

Aqua Cure applied Also, more MGS facts would be dope.

Village explained where the umbrella logo came from

Regarding Umbrella's logo I see several possible origin options: 1 Obvious: a minimalist version of Spencer's family coat of arms 2 Less obvious but my personal favourite: a reimagining of Stairway-of-the-Heaven (i.e. Progenitor flower) depiction by the Ndipaya people, which was a flower with 8 red and white petals. 3 That fckng RE8 retcon where writers descided it would be perfectly logical for a british noble to go hiking alone in the mountains of Romanian Nowhere in the winter only to be found by a random wench who accidentally found megamould in some cave and decided not to inject british noble with it for whatever reason: an obscure crest from obscure mechanism which caught Spencer's eye

10:49 yeah I’m pretty sure Alexia is not coming back from that or being absolutely vaporized with the linear launcher. and good.

That's timing lol just finished replaying resident 2 with a rtx card for the first time and then I see this video 😊

...that turtle clip made my entire morning.

Betting that in the next main game, That 4th founding member B.B. maybe implemented into a plot ...definitely be a mixed opportunity....

Thanks, Ky. I love RE and I love your channel. And secretly I love you. 😘

Thank you Kai for turtle sounds

6:47 among the 5 chinese characters highlighted in a white background after the letters RLSW, the last character means Umbrella. I only know because it's also the same as Kanji.

Ik the point im about to make isnt rly related to umbrella corp technically but : the machine alex wesker used to transfer her conciousness into Natalia,u know the machine she got from spencer? I just had this crazy theory tht this machine was made as spencers own "megamycete" like he was inspired by tht fungal root or black god as miranda called it and made a technological slightly diff version of it,tht was later used by alex wesker

I liked this video a lot. Thank you.

I’ve been trying to find a lot of videos on the raccoon trials are they from a game in the resident evil franchise or is it a thing that we don’t see in the series

One tiny lil nitpick there's a mistake where u called Spencer "Marcus spencer" as I'm sure u know is name is Ozwell E Spencer just wanted to point it out otherwise great video sir
