^{Click here to see the Parr family in Incredibles 2.}

The titular family of superheroes who are there to fight crime and save the day when necessary.

---

In General

• Alternate Company Equivalent: Downplayed, especially since Disney now owns both Marvel and Fox, so it's more like "Alternate Subsidiary Equivalent". However, The Incredibles has often been praised as the best Fantastic Four film, as both deal with a team of superheroes that share a familial bond with each other and explores that family dynamic as they go adventuring together. There's even a loose overlap of powers: Super-Strength person (Thing/Mr. Incredible), stretchy person (Mr. Fantastic/Elastigirl), invisible person with force fields (Invisible Woman/Violet); and speedy, hot-headed Baby Of The Bunch (Human Torch/Dash — this is by far the biggest discrepancy in terms of power sets, since Dash in no way has pyrotechnic abilities or flight).
• Badass Family: As a family of superheroes, it comes with the territory. By the end of the first movie (and the short Jack-Jack Attack), every Parr has caused some form of property damage. Elastigirl, being the mature, focused matriarch, is able to take out Mooks in a non-lethal manner, but Mr. Incredible, Dash and Violet all have a body count.
• A Boy, a Girl, and a Baby Family: Dash, Violet, and Jack-Jack respectively.
• Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Bob and Dash (blondes), Violet (brunette), and Helen and Jack-Jack (redheads).
• Brought to You by the Letter "S": Their suits prominently feature a lowercase ( i ) for an emblem.
• Domino Mask: Their new superhero costumes include one.
• Dysfunctional Family: First shown as this, through Mr. Incredible and Dash's dissatisfaction at having to live an average life and keep their powers hidden under the Super Relocation Act, Violet angsting about not being normal, the arguments between siblings and parents at the dinner table and Elastigirl butting heads with Mr. Incredible over his late-night vigilante antics. Thankfully, the events of the movie contribute to bring them all closer by the end.
• Good Is Not Soft: The Incredibles are willing to use deadly force against the various mooks they encounter and/or indirectly cause them to die. Dash racks up the highest kill count among them when the goons chasing him crash their velocipods into the surroundings. However, this trope is Justified as the story shows that being a Super Hero is a dangerous activity and it's hard to take down the bad guys without harm when they're actively trying to kill you.
• Happily Married: Elastigirl and Mr. Incredible still have a happy marriage and remain attracted to each other after 15 years and three kids. Mr. Incredible even calls Elastigirl "the perfect woman". However, all marriages have their challenges and the first movie showed that Mr. Incredible had gotten to the point where his focus on wanting to relive his glory days was causing his attention on his family to suffer and how he works through that. When he thought he lost Elastigirl and the kids when Syndrome shot down her plane, this caused his Rage Breaking Point. The second film shows Mr. Incredible willing to take care of the family while Elastigirl works to get supers legal again. He's absolutely gritting his teeth to hide his envy of her having this job but does everything he can to be supportive of her.
• Ideal Hero: Sure, they have their minor flaws, but they are all extremely determined, heroic, and more than willing to risk their lives to fight against any serious threat.
• Ironic Name: Their surname is "Parr", meaning "average", something the Parrs definitely are not.
• Meaningful Name: The family's surname, Parr ("par"), reflects how their secret identities are an attempt to blend in with "average" society.
• My Suit Is Also Super: The Incredibles' suits are designed (according to Edna) with the basics of incredible temperature resistance (1000 degrees in the middle of a roaring wall of fire in the test chamber), being bullet-proof, and comfortable to wear (and machine-washable as a new feature), but are also tailored by Edna Mode to support the powers of the individual super wearing it.
  • Mr. Incredible's old suit is shown to be quite durable, complimenting his "Near Invulnerability", and it shows, given that he not only has a jar full of bullets that have bounced off of him, but the only thing that is shown to be strong enough to penetrate it (and his skin) is the razor sharp claws of the eighth iteration of the Omnidroid. It also proves to be able to withstand the temperature of a volcano when he fights the robot the first time around.
  • Elastigirl's suit can stretch as far as she can and is virtually indestructible, even against missile attacks.
  • Violet's suit is noted as the trickiest for Edna, but she was eventually able to create a material for the suit that can become invisible like Violet can, since normally her clothes stay visible when she uses her power.
  • Dash' suit can withstand incredible friction without heating up, useful for when he has to run long distances constantly without stopping.
  • Jack-Jack's suit initially only covered the aforementioned basics, but Edna rises to the challenge in the sequel of building a suit that can handle his myriad of powers, and also building a biometric monitoring system into Jack-Jack's suit to keep track of his multiple powers.
• Mundane Utility:
  • Mr. Incredible uses his Super-Strength to lift furniture out of the way when his wife is vacuuming, or throw a football extra-far when playing catch with Dash.
  • Elastigirl stretches her arm while using the vacuum cleaner so she can cover the entire floor without moving.
  • Violet turns invisible to hide from her crush at school (and from her parents when she overhears them fighting), and summons a force field to stop Dash from hitting her in the middle of a fight.
  • Dash uses his super speed to put a tack on his teacher's chair during class and play football with his father. He also uses it to fight his sister when they start bickering.
  • Jack-Jack uses his powers to escape his crib when his parents aren't looking.
• Nice, Mean, and In-Between: The Parr children has the cheerful and playful Dash (nice), the grumpy and sarcastic Violet (mean), and the innocent, but easily-tempered Jack-Jack (in-between).
• Red Is Heroic: Their supersuits are all heroic red. Edna designed them after all.
• Shipper on Deck: The family supports Violet's crush on Tony Rydinger, much to her embarrassment.
• Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: The family resides in a world of superheros and supervillains and it generally leans toward the idealistic side with most heroes being dedicated toward justice and a desire to help the innocent. However, it is also a world where supervillains like Bomb Voyage or Syndrome don't have any qualms about putting a child's life in danger. As such there is also a bit of cynical realism present so that when the family is trapped on Nomanisan Island, they don't have a problem using deadly force to protect themselves and they amass a considerable body count. Later, when Syndrome threatens Jack-Jack, Mr. Incredible takes immediate action which ends the threat permanently.
• Super Family Team: There's a posed shot in the later half of the film in such a pose.
• Super Hero: All of them have the powers and the costumes and heroics.
• Two Girls to a Team: The Parr family has one mom and one daughter, so the super team has only Elastigirl and Violet.
• Undying Loyalty: The parents are extremely protective and caring of their kids and their kids go out of their way to help their parents in moments of danger.

Mr. Incredible/Bob

Mr. Incredible/Robert "Bob" Parr

"Every superhero has a secret identity. I don't know a single one who doesn't. I mean, who wants the pressure of being super all the time?"

Voiced by: Craig T. Nelson (movies), Richard McGonagle (games) ^{Other Languages}Marc Alfos (European French, first film), Gérard Lanvin (European French, second film), Benoît Rousseau (Canadian French)

"No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know?! For a little bit. I feel like the maid: "I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for, for 10 minutes?! Please?!""

Mr. Incredible is a super-hero from the Golden Age. He marries Elastigirl shortly before they're forced to retire and enter the "Super Relocation Act" by a new law banning vigilante superheroics, legislation that was inspired in large part by the collateral damage resulting from Mr. Incredible's superheroic activities.

---

• The Ace: He's one of the most famous and most powerful superhero on the planet. Syndrome in particular regards Mr. Incredible as the biggest hurdle for his Omnidroid to overcome.
• Acrofatic: He's put on some weight since his superhero days, but his fight with the Omnidroid shows he's not completely out of practice. Becomes even more so once he begins to get himself back into shape.
• Action Dad: A vigilante-superhero after he finished his work at Insuricare and before tucking his kids into bed. In the sequel, he becomes a house husband, but he goes back into action once he hears that Helen is in danger.
• Amazon Chaser: He fell in love with and married crimefighter Elastigirl.
• Battle Couple: With Elastigirl. They were on patrol on their wedding day.
• Beware the Nice Ones:
  • When Mr. Incredible tells Mr. Huph that a man is getting mugged, the latter abuses his authority and threatens to fire him if he goes out to help. This offends Mr. Incredible's sense of justice so much that he snaps, giving Huph a Neck Lift and throwing him through four walls from his office to the outside hallway, injuring him.
  • When he believes that Syndrome has killed his family, he reaches his Rage Breaking Point and tries to grab Syndrome to kill him but catches Mirage instead. He comes really close to crushing Mirage to death, but ultimately can't do it. When he gets free he gets scarily close to finishing the job, only stopping when she reveals his family survived.
  • During the climax, Syndrome makes it to his escape jet and pauses to deliver a We Will Meet Again speech in which he threatens to eventually kidnap Jack-Jack. Mr. Incredible is having none of that and acts to end the confrontation right then and there by throwing a car directly at the plane hatch where Syndrome is standing which destroys the front end and knocks Syndrome onto the plane wing causing his death by Turbine Blender.
• Big Eater: Once competed in — and won — a massive eating contest with Thunderhead, which he did by putting away 47 boysenberry pies, 8 banana cream pies, 3 apple crumbs and a liter of mayonnaise. This earned him the nickname "Mr. Inedible" by the other supers. It's not surprising that he ended up putting on 50 lbs. when the supers were forced to go underground.
• Blue Is Heroic: His old supersuit from his Glory Days was a shade of blue, in contrast to the family's new red ones.
• Book Dumb: Subverted. First of all, he's a very smart man. When confronted with new math taught in Dash's elementary school in Incredibles 2, Bob initially doesn't understand it, but after reading the math book the whole night, he's able to understand how the new math works and is able to help his son with his homework.
• Boring, but Practical:
  • His superpowers compared to the rest of his family's aren't very flashy, as it's just mainly Super-Strength with a dose of Nigh-Invulnerability and the ability to sense imminent danger, but it comes in very handy when the situation calls for it.
  • He's also this when compared to the rest of the superhero community shown in the movie and additional materials. While he can't shapeshift, project energy, or control the elements, he's one of the few supers that can shrug off an incoming bullet and even more; which means that he's one of the few that Syndrome wasn't able to kill with the Omnidroids.
• Bruiser with a Soft Center: Mr. Incredible is tough as nails against anything Syndrome can throw at him except the possibility of losing his family. The mere thought reduces him to being barely able to speak.
• Bumbling Dad: Bob struggles to live a normal, which often becomes a detriment to his family, since they often have to move to different places. It's shown that a normal job is something he hates, which is why he's not that good in his job. In the sequel, he becomes a house husband, but his lack of experience and having to deal with three kids with superpowers and their own issues tires him out rather quickly, although he eventually gets the hang on it.
• The Cape: He's a great example of the trope reflected in his heroic deeds. Throughout the story we see that he has a strong sense of justice and powerful desire to save the innocent.
• Character Catchphrase:
  • "Yeah, baby!", when happy or excited.
  • He also tends to say "Showtime!" just before launching into his current adventure.
  • However, his most common expression is "Uh-oh" as he realizes things are about to go wrong.
• Character Development: Mr. Incredible realizes how his selfish pursuit of the Glory Days has isolated him from his family and he gives that up by the end of the film, realizing his family is more important. This carries into the second film, where he takes on the role of House Husband while his wife is out being a superhero.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: Actively seeks opportunities to be a hero which makes it very difficult for him to settle down after the Super Relocation Act is passed. This continues into the second film where he struggles to cope with Elastigirl being the one reviving superheroes rather than him while also trying to remain positive for her.
• Combat Pragmatist: He's certainly not above attacking a villain while he's in the middle of a monologue and his extremely accurate throwing ability allows him to turn anything within reach into a weapon.
• Cool Car: During his Glory Days, he had one called the Incredimobile. In the second movie, it made a return, much to Mr. Incredible's shock as he was under the impression it had been destroyed years ago.
• Create Your Own Villain: He isn't wholly responsible for Buddy becoming Syndrome, as there were already signs of him being a raging narcissist even at a young age, but it was his rejection of Buddy as his sidekick that caused him to decide to specifically become his Arch-Enemy.
  • While he wasn't responsible for Syndrome's rise to evil until he rejected him, his battle with Bomb-Voyage and Buddy's interference in said battle that led to the Superhero Registration Act taking place did indirectly create another villain: Evelyn Deavor.
• Crime of Passion: When Mr. Huph shows no empathy for a man being mugged, threatens to fire him if he leaves to intervene, and continues to taunt him, Bob loses his temper and punches Huph through several walls, hospitalizing his boss and getting fired in the process.
• Dating Catwoman: A Downplayed Trope. He doesn't have an affair with Mirage (although he inadvertently gave that impression to Elastigirl), but they have quite flirty banter.
• Delayed Reaction: Upon discovering that Jack-Jack had powers, he at first reacted with pride, before the realization of what it meant for his duties as a House Husband.
• Destructive Savior: One of the big reasons why the Deavors didn't choose Mr. Incredible to be the spokesperson for the return of superheroes is because of all the damage he caused, even in his Glory Days which began the lawsuits against supers that forced them into hiding in the first place.
  Winston: Let's not test the whole "insurance-will-pay-for-everything" idea on the first go 'round, okay?
  Mr. Incredible: Wait a minute. You're saying what? I'm... messy?
• Detect Evil: The NSA Super Interview files list the ability to sense imminent danger as one of his other powers besides his Super-Strength and Nigh-Invulnerability, which is shown in how quickly he can react to the many threats headed his way.
• Didn't Think This Through: A problem that Mr. Incredible has in the first film is him not really thinking all of his actions through, especially after the Supers are forced underground. While he has the best of intentions and genuinely cares about people and his family, his inability to think his decisions through in the name of pursuing his glory days ends up constantly causing friction between him and his loved ones. If he had given any serious thought about Mirage's offer, he likely would have realized how shady it truly was.
• Exhausted Eye Bags: Mr. Incredible develops eye bags in the sequel after losing sleep from holding down the Parr family fort, dealing with his kids' problems. He does get better after finally getting to get some sleep after leaving Jack-Jack at Edna's.
• Experienced Protagonist: The Incredibles starts with Mr. Incredible as a famous superhero. Much of the plot involves how he deals with being forced underground, then getting a chance to get back in the game.
• Fatal Flaw: His stubbornness, temper, and inability to let go of his Glory Days as a superhero serve as a major problem for him. In the first movie, this is what almost gets him killed after accepting Syndrome's moonlighting offer. He's better in the second movie, but is clearly struggling with Elastigirl being chosen to champion the cause of getting Supers made legal again.
• Fat Flex: During the Good-Times Montage, he tries sucking in his gut in the mirror to boost his height and chest size, but gives up and exhales when he realizes he still hasn't reached his goal. He's finally satisfied when he reaches his desired height without sucking it in.
• Formerly Fit: He gains a lot of weight living under the Super Relocation Act for 15 years. He still has his Super-Strength, and is quite capable but has lost some agility, endurance and flexibility. This is shown during his fight with the Omnidroid on Nomanisan, where he throws his back out celebrating his victory prematurely and only recovers because the Omnidroid accidentally snaps his spine back into place. He trims most of his flab down during the Good-Times Montage that follows.
• Genius Bruiser: Downplayed, but Mr. Incredible is shown to be anything but Dumb Muscle. While at Insuricare, he understood the company's intentionally-convoluted bureaucracy, allowing him to help his clients get their rightfully-deserved payouts. In the sequel, despite being thrown for a loop at first with "New Math", he manages to work through it in a single night to help Dash with his homework in the morning. Additionally, in combat, Mr. Incredible doesn't just rely on his strength, coming up with simple, but effective strategies on the fly based on learning an opponents' weaknesses.
• Gentle Giant: He's an extremely large, hulking man who towers over the rest of his family and most of the cast but he's good-hearted and very careful with his super strength, notably going out of his way to be careful to not hurt Elastigirl when she's hypnotized. Just don't push him too far.
• Glory Days: Before the Superhero Relocation Program, he was a famous superhero, and his office is plastered with memorabilia of that time. His desire to return to that era ends up allowing Syndrome to manipulate him.
• Glory Seeker: Subverted. While he aspires to return to the glory days, it's not for the sake of glory itself — he just genuinely loves helping people to the point where he even does it illegally and seems quite humble about his fame even during his prime as a hero. In the sequel, he's initially taken back that Elastigirl is the better choice for the superhero job provided by Winston, but he accepts that decision, as long as he and all the other superheroes can benefit from it later. When she starts receiving glory and fame for saving the train, Bob is shown to be very envious at her, but he sucks up his jealousy and uses that energy to become better as a house husband instead.
• Good Is Not Soft: A loving father and family man who can't resist helping the innocent whenever possible. If you threaten his family, he will destroy you.
• Good Parents: He slips into Parental Obliviousness at times, but he's always trying his best. It's shown he loves his kids and they feel the same.
• Green-Eyed Monster: In the sequel. When Elastigirl is chosen over him to help legalize superheroes, Mr. Incredible does a really bad job of hiding his envy of his wife's heroics.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Receding hair of gold, anyway: though he is getting on in years and has become more cynical with time, Mr. Incredible is characterized as a stand-up, classic superhero in many ways.
• Heroic Build: As a super strong golden age hero, he is built like a tank. His young self is buff, true to trope, but years of office work (and implied overeating snacks and desserts) have made him go to seed quite a bit. When he gets back in the hero game and begins working out again, he becomes noticeably slimmer around the waist and broader around the chest, but not his youthful shape.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Frozone. They've been best friends and superhero partners for a long time.
• Hot-Blooded: He is very stubborn and very quick to temper. As shown whenever he gets frustrated with something his first instinct is to act rather than think. But luckily he is reasonable enough to not do this irrationally despite a few slip ups.
• House Husband: In the sequel. Elastigirl has a day job now, and Mr. Incredible stays home to raise the kids. Since Mr. Incredible was originally the bread-winner and was focused on the glory days in the first film, he finds that he is lacking experience in handling this new arrangement, and having to juggle all the kids' needs —compounded by them being supers— leaves him unable to sleep for days on end. He eventually gets better at it.
• Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Mr. Incredible is about a head taller than his wife, and he's physically massive next to her nonetheless.
• Immune to Bullets: One of his mementos is a jar full of deformed rounds with the label "Bullets That Bounced Off Me".
• Improbable Aiming Skills: Mr. Incredible has the ability to throw things with extreme accuracy. This combined with his Super-Strength allows him to turn anything within reach into a projectile weapon. He is shown taking out a mook with a coconut to the head. He even has great aim with ballistic trajectories, nailing a pair of guards with the ripped-off monorail cab he lobs at them from out of view.
• The Insomniac: In Incredibles 2, Bob is unable to fall asleep for several days. Initially, it pays off for Dash, since Bob spends an all-nighter to understand "new math", but the following days, Jack-Jack's tantrums and adventures keep hi awake all the time, which mentally and physically drains him. Once Bob leaves Jack-Jack at Edna and he's able to apologize to Violet, Bob is able to replenish his energy after for 17 hours of sleep.
• Innocent Blue Eyes: Mr. Incredible's blue eyes represent his nice, noble and heroic personality. Which are inherited by two of his kids, Violet and Dash.
• Iron Butt Monkey: Some of the funniest and dramatic moments in the franchise come courtesy of physical and mental misfortune being piled on the near-indestructible Mr. Incredible.
• I Work Alone: During his time as a superhero, Mr. Incredible makes a point to tell others, especially Buddy Pine that he prefers to work on his own and he still maintains this stance when he went into hiding. It's only after believing his family was killed that his convictions are shaken.
• Lantern Jaw of Justice: As a golden age superhero, he has a prominent square chin.
• Lightning Bruiser: He's surprisingly lithe and agile despite his considerable bulk, especially after his retirement; this agility in addition to his mega strength and nigh-invulnerability makes him one strongest heroes.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: The Feminine Boy to Helen's Masculine Girl. In the opening, Bob says he'd like nothing more than to take a break from being a superhero and live the simple life. Helen, on the other hand, scoffs the idea of settling down, and wants to continue being a superhero for as long as possible.
• Nice Guy: He's not a superhero because he loves thrills; he's a superhero because he loves helping people. He has a long history of doing so as an insurance agent too. He's also a friendly, if a bit soured guy, most of the time.
• Nigh-Invulnerable: Mr. Incredible is able to withstand tremendous amounts of physical trauma and blunt forces, including multistory falls, electrocution, being shot at, the direct impact of a train, and breaking through brick walls. He can be cut, but it takes an incredible amount of effort and the only thing shown to manage it were the Omnidroid's Applied Phlebotinum claws. Despite his high durability, he is shown to feel pain when hit with enough force (he gives a sharp cry when the Omnidroid cuts his arm and winces just before he is hit by the train). His NSA profile classifies it as "Near-Invulnerability" because it is so far above all the other Supers.
• One Head Taller: He's over a head taller than his wife Elastigirl, though she will stretch to be above him when she's angry at him.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: While Mr. Incredible still believes his wife and children are dead, Mirage sets him free and he immediately seizes her by the throat asking in a subdued but murderous tone what more she can possibly take from him. The noble hero is gone, replaced by a man in despair with nothing left to lose. The moment he registers Mirage is saying that his family survived and is on the island, he snaps back with elation.
• Papa Wolf: Mr. Incredible discovers that he is fiercely protective of his family to the point where their apparent death drives him past his Rage Breaking Point and was almost willing to kill Mirage. He doesn't cross that line, but when Syndrome is about to escape and boasts to Mr. Incredible that he will eventually kidnap Jack-Jack, Mr. Incredible has no qualms ending the threat right then and there by throwing a car at Syndrome's plane, knocking him into the turbines, killing him for good.
• Parents as People: In the sequel, he struggles as a father and house husband, and he feels guilty that Tony, the boy whom Violet has taken a liking, lost his memories of Violet which is why he's trying to make things right for her. When dealing with all three of his children becomes too stressful for him, Lucius convinces Bob to get help; after leaving Jack-Jack at Edna's care and showing his vulnerability to Violet, Bob finally gets the rest and understanding he deserves.
• Perma-Stubble: In Incredibles 2, he grows out a serious case of unkempt stubble as taking care of Jack-Jack takes its toll.
• Power Incontinence: Downplayed. Having been a hero for many years, Mr. Incredible is usually in control of his Super-Strength. However, when Mr. Incredible is emotionally distracted or surprised, he can lose control, such as damaging his car when he slips on a toy in his driveway or sawing through a plate and the underlying table when trying to cut Dash's food while preoccupied.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Frozone's Blue. Colors aside, he is more gung-ho and adventure seeking.
• Retired Badass: Supposedly forced into this role because of the Super Relocation Act. But he dislikes the current situation so much that he averts this trope illegally and goes out on weekly jaunts of clandestine super-heroics, even before being recruited for the plot of the first movie.
• Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!:
  • He's determined to use his powers to help others even if it he has to break the law to do it. Judging by one conversation with Agent Dicker, Mr. Incredible getting into trouble over this was not uncommon prior to this.
  Frozone: What are we doing here, Bob?
  Mr. Incredible: We're protecting people.
  Frozone: Nobody asked us.
  Mr. Incredible: You need an invitation?
  • Also does this while working at Insuricare, using his position and knowledge of the company's bureaucracy to help the clients getting their payout despite the company's very miser and uncaring policy and being often confronted by his boss over it.
• Smarter Than You Look: Upon first glance, his Heroic Build, Lantern Jaw of Justice, and Super-Strength may come off as him being a stereotypical Dumb Muscle, but in reality, Mr. Incredible is actually quite clever. As Mr Incredible, he demonstrates a quick wit and tactical acumen, with even Syndrome being impressed (and amused) at how Mr. Incredible tricked him into monologuing (though he didn't quite manage to sucker-punch him). As a civilian, at work he learns the loopholes in Insuricare's bureaucracy to help his clients, and at home he learns the concepts of "new math" in a single night so he can teach it to his son.
• So Proud of You: His reaction in the sequel when he finds out Jack-Jack does have powers.
  Mr. Incredible: You! Have! POWERS! (Jack-Jack giggles happily) Yeah, baby!
• Spider-Sense: Implied in the movie when he senses that something is wrong in the bank before Bomb Voyage actually appears. In addition, when he's being reprimanded by Mr. Huph, Mr. Incredible had resigned himself to a long tirade from his boss and is staring blankly at the floor to his right. Suddenly his eyes snap forward and he turns to the left to see the mugging going on down in the street. ^note Bonus points in that the scene which had been devoid of music, has an ethereal melody start at the exact moment his eyes snap forward. Later, it was confirmed in the DVD extras that he has the ability to sense imminent danger.
• Stout Strength: He gains a lot of weight in the years after being forced into retirement, but he's still got his super-strength.
• Superhero Trophy Shelf: His office at home is decorated with mementos of his past life as a superhero, including magazines, photos, posters, news articles, thank-you notes from classrooms of children, a giant golden key to (an unknown) city, his old super suit in a display case, and a jar labeled "Bullets that bounced off me".
• Super-Strength: His primary power. His NSA profile classifies it as "Mega Strength" because it is so far above all the other Supers.
• Team Dad: Once the family is together as a team, he is the dad-leader of it. He likes to lead by example, and is strict when need be, though is always looking out for his family.
• Thou Shalt Not Kill: Downplayed. He's no murderer, and he doesn't set out to kill anybody in battle, but if it's necessary to save lives he will not pull punches. When pushed to his Rage Breaking Point, he takes Mirage hostage and threatens to kill her to force Syndrome to release him, but when Syndrome calls his bluff, he is unable to go through with deliberate murder. When Syndrome rants that he will not rest until he's abducted Jack-Jack, though, Mr. Incredible is having none of that. He pulls no punches and tosses his car into Syndrome's escape plane fully intending to end the threat Syndrome made to his son right then and there.
• Top-Heavy Guy: Without his super strength, one would wonder how his small legs support his great chest.
• Vocal Evolution: In Incredibles 2, Craig T. Nelson's voice has audibly aged in the fourteen years between movies.
• World's Strongest Man: Mr. Incredible is Nigh-Invulnerable and possesses truly enormous levels of super strength. He bench presses 300-ton locomotives a dozen times in a row so as to get back in shape. He's so overwhelmingly powerful that the NSA profiles on the DVD special features say "Super Strength" and "Super Durability" aren't sufficient to describe him. Instead he gets the unique labels "Mega-Strength" and "Near-Invulnerability".
• Would Hit a Girl: While he never goes through with it, he was very close to choking Mirage to death in retaliation when he thought his family had all been killed. Subverted in the second film, as once he's attacked by a hypnotized Elastigirl, he avoids engaging in the confrontation, mainly to not hurt or kill her. Justified given how that's his wife.

Elastigirl/Helen

Elastigirl/Mrs. Incredible/Helen Parr (née Truax)

"Of course I have a secret identity! Can you see me in this at the, at the supermarket? Come on! Who'd wanna go shopping as Elastigirl? You know what I mean?"

Voiced by: Holly Hunter (movies), Elizabeth Daily (games) ^{Other Languages}Déborah Perret (European French), Camille Cyr-Desmarais (Canadian French)

"Settle down? Are you kidding? I'm at the top of my game! I'm right up there with the big dogs! Girls, come on. Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so. I don't think so."

Mr. Incredible's wife, Elastigirl is the mother of three children. Ever since the government forced her to stop doing any superheroics, she has problems getting her family of supers to fit in.

---

• Ace Pilot: Elastigirl is an accomplished pilot as shown by how expertly she pilots the plane to evade the oncoming missiles. In the sequel, we see that she can also fly a helicopter.
• Action Girl: Talks about it proudly in the intro, explicitly, "Girls, come on. Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so. I don't think so".
• Action Mom: She's a crime-fighting mother of three who is outright referred to by promotional materials as a "Sock'er Mom!" In the first film, she reminds her children to get to bed on time and that there are plenty of leftovers to reheat before suiting up and going off to save her husband.
• Amazonian Beauty: Downplayed. In the sequel, Helen is noticeably more muscular than she was in the first movie, though her rear and thighs are still chubby. Still, she gets in even more fanservice moments than she did in the original movie, and gets plenty of male and female admirers.
• Badass Biker: The sequel reveals she's an expert motorcyclist, riding her bike along, through and over buildings with parkour-like skill.
• Battle Couple: With Mr. Incredible; on-patrol even on their wedding day.
• Beauty Equals Goodness: Elastigirl in both her normal outfit and her super suit is really loving, caring, and beautiful.
• Boyish Short Hair: Her hair only goes down to her jaw after the Time Skip to match her tomboyish personality.
• Brainy Brunette: Elastigirl has auburn (reddish-brown) hair and is an accomplished tactician.
• Brought to You by the Letter "S": Before she married Mr. Incredible, her suit had initials of her codename (E-G) on it. Her DevTech suit also has the same logo.
• Combat Stilettos: Her costume includes small heels. She has the correct superpower to handle them without any trouble.
• Contrasting Sequel Main Character: In the first film, Mr. Incredible tried to do heroic acts, even taking a job as one in secret from his family, had a personal connection to the villain, gained a large amounts of Character Development but was unable to re-legalize supers, though it sets the tone for the events of the second film to follow. In the second film, Elastigirl is the one trying to live a normal life and stressing to her family that supers are illegal, took a job with Winston Deavor which her family knew from the start (which is about making Supers legal again), doesn't have some kind of past with the film's antagonist, and was able to help re-legalize supers in the end. Also, has some Character Development of course, though nowhere near the amount of her husband's.
• A Day in the Limelight: She gets more focus in the sequel, as the one Winston Deavor chose as the face of his project to return Supers to legality rather than the far more destructive Mr. Incredible, as Elastigirl had the least amount of property damage to her name.
• Deadpan Snarker: She can be very sassy and sarcastic, especially during arguments with her husband, Bob.
  Bob: I said I'd be back later.
  Helen: I assumed you'd be back later. If you came back at all, you'd be "back later".
• Depending on the Writer: For many years, she was referred to as Mrs. Incredible in outside media because of DC's character (called Elasti-Girl) but as of the 2010's, Disney Heroes: Battle Mode, Disney Sorcerer's Arena and LEGO The Incredibles, she's referred to as Elastigirl once again.
• Dude Magnet: Before marrying Mr. Incredible, she was romantically pursued by many top Supers. It is stated in her NSA file that she favored her independence.
• Even the Girls Want Her: She has several fan girls in the sequel, including fellow Super Voyd. Even Evelyn Deavor genuinely wanted them to be partners in crime. Also, it should be noted that her NSA file states that she was romantically pursued by many top supers. They never mention whether or not she was only pursued by MALE supers.
• Evil Costume Switch: Played with. She's skeptical of the new Elastigirl costume the Deavors (courtesy of Galbaki) give her since she's not a fan of its primary grey and black color scheme. Her alignment doesn't change and she initially does hero work wearing it, but it becomes more fitting when she is enslaved via hypnosis by the Screenslaver, and after she's freed, she changes back into her regular suit once the Galbaki suit gets damaged.
• Experienced Protagonist: She's first seen as a superhero easily taking out a thief. And she skillfully evades detection while searching for her husband.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: Her hair becomes shorter after superheroes are forced to retire and she becomes a mother, implying she had cut her hair during the 15 year Time Skip.
• Formerly Fit: She's gained weight since her pre-children crime-fighting days, though not as much as Bob did. Midway through the first film, while wearing her skintight super-suit, she looks at herself in a mirror and is disappointed to see she’s gained a very big butt.
• Former Teen Rebel: Implied, as she apparently once had a Mohawk before she met Mr. Incredible.
• Good Parents: She's much happier doing the domestic parenting thing than Mr. Incredible. She does a good job at taking care of the kids, protecting them when necessary, such as when she shielded Violet and Dash from the jet explosion. She says she's proud of her kids whenever they help out, but is not afraid to reprimand them when they do something wrong.
• Hartman Hips: She has an exaggerated pear-shaped figure like most female characters in the series, but taken a bit more to the extreme as her hips are twice as wide as her waist.
• Housewife: For the love of her family she makes an apparently seamless shift from superheroine to homemaker during the Time Skip of the first movie. The second film shows that the love of being a superhero is not completely gone.
• Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Mr. Incredible is about a head taller than his wife, and he's physically massive next to her.
• Hyper-Awareness: Her main strength in both movies, aside from her stretching powers, is just how observant she is. She's able to detect a minuscule piece of rubble on Bob's jacket from across the room, in dim lighting, and that's just the start.
• Instant Expert: In the sequel, she can instantly drive her new Elasticycle with Le Parkour levels of expertise even though it would have been at least 15 years since she would have last been able to use the cycle in a heroic chase.
• I Was Quite a Fashion Victim: Mr. Incredible is shocked to learn that she once had a mohawk, but according to Elastigirl, he "didn't miss much", implying this she had the mohawk before she had met him.
• Jiggle Physics: Being the first Pixar woman with a large bust, her breasts noticably shake.
• Logical Weakness: As revealed in the sequel, she can't use her stretching powers in extremely cold environments or she'll break. Also, while elastic, she isn't made of rubber and is briefly put on the ropes when a cattle prod is used against her in that same film.
• Made of Indestructium: The suit Edna made for her is emphasized to be "virtually indestructible", as demonstrated by firing two missiles at it while it's stretched thin. It comes out without a scratch.
• Male Gaze: While she's infiltrating Syndrome's base, she looks at herself in a mirror and is disappointed by how large her butt has become over the years. Meanwhile, her butt is put on main display for a moment. This gets far more attention in the 2nd film.
• Mama Bear: She is protective of her children. When their plane is hit by missiles, she makes sure to completely shield Violet and Dash with her body before it explodes.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: The Masculine Girl to Bob's feminine boy. In the opening, Bob says he'd like nothing more than to take a break from being a superhero and live the simple life. Helen, on the other hand, scoffs the idea of settling down, and wants to continue being a superhero for as long as possible.
• More Deadly Than the Male: Downplayed. Despite not having her husband's super strength, she's shown to be easily capable of subduing him in a fight.
• Ms. Fanservice: She's a beautiful Action Mom, and wears a form-fitting costume that shows off her figure and accommodates her superpowers. Even after her weight gain, she’s still just as attractive as she was in her youth (if not moreso) due to gaining a curvier figure. She also gets a few Male Gaze shots, which is more prominent in the 2nd film, thanks to the updated technology giving Helen a massive Fanservice Pack upgrade.
• Nice Girl: She's a humble, loving, maternal, and supportive mother.
• Nigh-Invulnerability: Downplayed. While she can be stunned by blunt force, as demonstrated by the destruction of the plane carrying her, Violet, and Dash, she is a tough "made of rubber" example of this trope. It helps that her super suit offers a high degree of protection.
• Old Shame: In-Universe, she's none too fond of her hokey old theme song.
• Only Sane Woman: She is the most well-adjusted to living a normal life, compared with the rest of her family.
• Power Perversion Potential: Subtly implied (it is a PG movie, after all) with her extreme flexibility which also provides an easy solution to the Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex problem.
• Rubber Woman: Her power is this kind of shape-shifting, size-altering, and stretching.
• Save the Villain: Elastigirl saves Evelyn from falling to her death, despite Evelyn nearly killing her right before. It was not only as an act of heroism, but also to prove the supers innocence in Evelyn's plans.
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Elastigirl married Mr. Incredible, a fellow superhero and her crime fighting partner at the time.
• Something Person: Her superhero name is Elastigirl.
• Speech Impediment: She speaks from the right side of her mouth, resulting in a slight lisp. This is a trait carried from her voice actress who was born with one herself.
• Statuesque Stunner: Is an impressive 5 foot 8 inches, and stands taller than, or is able to meet, many other characters at eye level.
• Super-Senses: She has very good eye sight; she notices an incredibly tiny piece of rubble on Mr. Incredible's clothes, a single platinum hair on the suit he wore to dinner with Mirage and later the detailed stitching of Edna's repair on Mr. Incredible's old super-suit.
• Super-Strength: While nowhere near to the extent of her husband or any of the 'dedicated' strength supers, her NSA profile gives her an above-average strength rating. She demonstrates this in the first movie when she knocks out a mugger with one punch and later casually picks up and swings around a Mook with one outstretched arm (body armor and all), knocking him out by throwing him into another mook. That said, she appears to have to be using her stretch powers (turning her limbs into pistons) for said strength to manifest, as she's unable to overpower a normal pizza delivery guy in a grapple in the second film.
• Swiss-Army Superpower: Elastigirl, being able to stretch any part of her body to great lengths, is able to shapeshift into many different shapes and forms. These include taking the form of parachute, hang-glider, or a trampoline, flattening herself or making herself extremely tall.
• Team Mom: For the super family team. She can be regarded as the glue that holds the Parr family together, and is a voice of reason when fighting as a family of superheroes.
• Thou Shalt Not Kill: Downplayed. She's no murderer, and she doesn't set out to kill anybody in battle, but if it's necessary to save lives or protect her family she will not pull punches. In the sequel, she saves a villainous character from falling to her death.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: She's the tomboyish action heroine who fights criminals, rides motorcycles, and has relatively short hair compared to the long-haired, seductive and alluring, very feminine Femme Fatale Mirage in the first movie.
• Tomboy with a Girly Streak: She's a heroic Action Girl who fights criminals with relatively short hair for a woman, a bold and headstrong personality, proficiency with riding a motorcycle, and a sharp wit, but she has also adapted quite well to a life of being a housewife and caring mother.
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: A mild version. While not able to transform into different things, thanks to her elastic powers, she can reshape herself into different forms like a makeshift boat or a parachute. In the sequel, she takes on a glider shape similar to a flying squirrel to travel quickly through the city.
• Weight Woe: Is definitely not fond of the weight she's accumulated on her thighs, hips, and butt, which becomes harder to ignore when she's wearing a skin-tight super suit.
• Women Are Wiser: She is able to let go being a superhero and adapt to family life much better than Mr. Incredible does. She also thinks more rationally and diligently than Mr. Incredible, who tends to make rash decisions that get him into Didn't Think This Through predicaments.

Violet

Violet Parr

"If you haven't noticed, Mom, we're not doin' so hot either."

Voiced by: Sarah Vowell ^{Other Languages}Lorie Pester (European French, first film), Louane (European French), Catherine Brunet (Canadian French)

"Normal? What do you know about normal? What does anyone in this family know about normal?"

The oldest child in the Parr family. Violet has a crush on popular student Tony Rydinger, but she is too shy to talk to him. She has the power to create force fields and turn invisible.

---

• Action Girl: Being younger, she's not on her mother's level, but she can hold her own. By the sequel she's become a more confident fighter and more creative in the ways she uses her force-fields.
• Adrenaline Makeover: She puts her hair back out of necessity. By the end of the story she has confidence and a new look; she doesn't use her hair to hide her face anymore.
• Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: At the beginning of the first film before her Character Development starts to kick in. She's more shy and reclusive than outright aloof, but she distances herself quite significantly from the rest of her family due to her social awkwardness and self-deprecation.
• Badass Adorable: Is a very cute teenager who can generate energy shields from her hands and can turn invisible, and can hold her own in a fight, which she proves in the 2nd film by taking down a hypnotized Voyd, a fully grown woman.
• Badass Bookworm: She reads a lot and does cursive writing in her diary. Violet has been shown to be very intelligent. For instance, she came up with the idea to fly a rocket by using the coordinates from the last launch when no one else did. She also knew how to escape from her electrical bonds that Syndrome kept her and her family in, and was easily able to deactivate their restraints.
• Barrier Warrior: One of Violet's two core powers is the ability to generate a spherical force shield to protect her and others from harm. The upper limit of her shield strength is unknown but by the end of the first movie she was shown easily protecting her entire family against the impact and subsequent explosion of Syndrome's plane when it came crashing down on them.
• Big Eater: Averted in the first film where Violet wasn't hungry at all (due to her crush on Tony and having no confidence in herself), though it's implied she ate when needed. Subverted and established in the second film with Violet going through Comfort Food and Heartbreak and Ice Cream upon finding out Tony stood her up on her date (revealing she only does this when she's going through teenage problems), the sequel reveals that she has an appetite for drive-in food (likely due to Tony standing her up), which Bob used the Happy Platter to secretly set Violet up with meeting Tony and to get her off the drive-in food and on a healthy diet.^note Though its implied Bob was lying about the second part with the drive-in food as to not tip Violet off of his plan to set her up with Tony.
• Big Sister Instinct: After Dash saved her from getting shot by a mook, Violet saved him from the same fate by throwing herself in front of Dash as the Mook fires his weapon. Fortunately, she was able to form a force field "hamster ball" with Dash and herself inside protecting them. However, she did not know she was capable of doing this and was willing to die for her little brother.
• Brother–Sister Team: With her brother Dash. They learn to work together with their powers while on Nomanisan Island, they do so again in the second film's climax being in way over their heads the second go around (though they had Jack-Jack to compensate), despite this, not only do they evade capture by Evelyn's mind-controlled Supers at their new house, they end up being the ones to completely foil Evelyn's plot.
• Character Development:
  • During the course of the first film, she is shy and insecure. She resents being a Super and wants to be a normal human. At the end of the film, she learns to use her powers better and becomes more outgoing and confident to the point of asking Tony on a date to the movies, while finally accepting her birthright as a Super.
  • Gets a triple dosage of this in the 2nd film, primarily due to her crush's increased role. At the film's beginning, she resents having to stay with Jack-Jack while her parents battle the Underminer with Violet failing to learn the lesson her mom taught to her on the island in the first film ^note which ultimately leads to her being discovered by Tony when she throws her mask down in anger and ultimately having his memory and the date they were planning getting erased, with Violet briefly quitting being a Super because of it. At the climax, she volunteers to watch Jack-Jack, even pointing out that with her force fields she's the one best equipped to protect him, with the ending shows her learning the lesson her mom tried to teach to Violet in the first film finally sticking^note this likewise leads Violet to reconnect with Tony at the end while learning from her earlier mistakes (after apologizing to her father), and fully re-accepts her role as a Super.
• Color Motifs: Purple. Her clothing, post and pre-character development, involved purple (though she does wear a pink polo shirt at the end of the first film and begining of the second film and in the second film she has a light blue striped shirt). Her eyes are purple and her force fields also have a purple tinge to them. Plus, her name is Violet which is another form of Purple. Though she had a Red supersuit (which combined with Blue, also makes Purple).
• Combat Stilettos: Like her mother, she wears small heels as part of her suit.
• Combo Platter Powers: She has the powers of turning invisible and generating force fields. ^note  It's unclear if Violet's powers work the same way as Sue Storm from the Fantastic Four. In the comics, Sue becomes invisible by creating a thin force field around her body that refracts light and she could make her own clothes invisible (Sue can also make her teammates invisible this way as well, which is something Violet can only do in the Boom! Comics run). Violet has to have Edna make a special suit that becomes invisible with her.
• Comfort Food: Hers is ice cream (specifically Rocky Road flavor), which she eats a whole container of off-screen after Tony stands her up due to his memory wipe, it seems Big Eater tendencies do run in the family, though only when Violet's going through teenage problems. It's also implied drive-in food are also one for Violet as well when Bob reveals he has taken the kids (most likely Violet) to them a lot of times prior to the trip to the Happy Platter.
• Cool Big Sis: Becomes this for Dash and Jack-Jack once she gets over her personal issues. She becomes nicer towards Dash and is a source of affection for Jack-Jack who outright adores her. She always looks out for her brothers when on superhero duty, and is willing to go to great lengths to protect them.
• Deadpan Snarker: Towards her family in the first film. By the sequel Violet has also traded in her shy and insecure personality for a significantly increased amount of teenage sass and sarcasm, which was likely inherited from her mom.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: Violet, to start off with, is an introverted Emo Teen, being not only shy around Tony but also rather closed off towards her family (and quite hostile towards Dash). After she is given a You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech from Elastigirl, she develops a much greater sense of self-esteem, starts to enjoy having superpowers, becomes friendlier and more forthcoming towards the others and is eventually confident enough to talk to Tony. She even forgives her father for accidentally interfering with her relationship with Tony.^note  Even though the entire incident was Violet's fault from the beginning when she threw her mask down on the ground that lead to Tony's memory erasure happening in the first place.
• Didn't Think This Through: Crosses with Nice Job Breaking It, Hero. This happens to Violet in the beginning of the second film during the Underminer fight where she throws her mask down in anger over having to watch Jack-Jack completely unaware that her crush Tony was literally within her vicinity and overheard her causing her identity to be revealed, making everything that involves her boyfriend getting Laser-Guided Amnesia and missing her Friday night date more or less Violet's fault and she was unaware of it.
• Dub Name Change: The German dub changed her name to "Violetta".
• Easily Embarrassed Youngster: Initially, she was very easily embarrassed, but then once Violet ended up on Nomanisan Island with her mom and brother and became a superhero she became bolder. In the second movie, her insecurities reappeared, but then went away again.
• Establishing Character Moment: Her first scene is her turning invisible and shyly looking at her crush as he walks by, then quietly expressing delight that he (unknowingly) looked in her direction when she was invisible. This establishes that Violet has more of a desire for normality and is less confident in herself and using her powers than the rest of her family.
• Exhausted Eye Bags: She always has these, probably to complete the 'introverted Emo Teen' look. They last through to the sequel, where she has to deal with Tony's memory of her being wiped, which wouldn't help with disposing of eye bags.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: Violet Parr spends most of the first movie with her hair covering her face. After an encouraging talk from her mom and realizing she can handle herself in a fight, she now keeps her hair pulled back with a headband to signal her growing confidence. Her father comments on this at the end of the film and the boy she has a crush on notices as well. Her old hairstyle comes back briefly in the sequel (though we still see her face) after her new love interest's memory of her is wiped, signifying her emotional distress from this ordeal.
• Fanservice Pack: Violet's hips get a slight increase in size in the 2nd film thanks to the technology gap between the first and 2nd films. Justified as Violet's going through puberty, which wasn't shown in the first film due to the technological limits at the time, which made Violet's hips very small.
• Fatal Flaw: In the first film it is her being insecure and lacking confidence that contributes to her shyness, and lacking self-esteem. She gains confidence at the end of the film however and grows beyond this.
• Foil: To her little brother, Dash. While Violet is tired of the struggles that come with being in a super family and wants to be normal, Dash wants to use his speed to try out for sports and is chafing against the limitations put on him and his family by the anti-super laws.
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The responsible (doesn't get into trouble at school) to Dash's foolish (uses his super-speed to play a prank on his teacher). In the sequel, whenever she's left in charge to take care of Jack-Jack, she almost always gives the baby to Dash immediately, who struggles to take care of him, so that she can be on the action. At the end of that movie, Violet finally decides to take that responsibility seriously and keeps Jack-Jack save in the worst case scenario.
• Glacier Waif: She develops into this after figuring out more ways to apply her force fields in the sequel, such as throwing force fields as impromptu energy blasts or using them to ram into things.
• Hartman Hips: Violet has a more teen-size skinnier version, with extremely narrow shoulders and waist, and wider hips (though far far smaller than her mom's). The sequel even ups her hip size slightly due both the 14-year gap in technology and Violet undergoing puberty.
• Heartbreak and Ice Cream: After thinking she was stood-up by Tony for their first date, Mr. Incredible notices a distraught Violet (invisible in her civilian clothes), crying and helping herself to a large spoon and an entire container of ice cream.
• Heroic Lineage: Being the offspring of Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, Violet is naturally inclined to do good with her powers, as seen when she leaps into action to protect civilians when the Underminer attacks the city and later on when she renounces her renouncement once she knows her parents are in danger.
• Hiding Behind Your Bangs: In the first half of the first film, her hair covers half of her face, symbolizing her shyness. As she gains more confidence in herself, she has gotten rid of it so we see both of her eyes.
• Hollywood Genetics: Her father has blonde hair and blue eyes, and her mother has red hair (that has darkened over time) and brown eyes, yet Violet has black hair and violet eyes^note though if one looks very closely, Violet's eye color appears to match that of her father's. Justified in that this is a world of superheroes and Violet's appearance could have changed as her powers manifested. Given her gloomy personality before her Character Development, it's also possible that she dyes her hair black^note though the last scenario seems unlikely, as Violet's eyebrows are also the same black color, implying that black hair is a recessive trait in the Parr family, it also didn't help that in the original Deleted Scene that opened the first film that shows Violet as a baby was born with black hair. However in terms of body size, Violet takes after her mother (though a skinnier version of her mom), implying her mom's genes are far more dominant.
• How Do I Shot Web?: Because she's been discouraged from using her powers due to the Super Relocation Act, Violet is very inexperienced and anxious about her ability throughout most of the film. This comes to a dramatic head when she is unable to create a force field to shield the plane she is in when targeted by Syndrome's missiles. Fortunately, Elastigirl helps rebuild her self-confidence by telling Violet it was unfair to suddenly ask so much from her and gives her a pep talk that encourages her to actively practice and expand her abilities. It fully pays off in the events of the 2nd film where the 3-month Time Skip shows Violet's powers have greatly improved.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: She states this at the beginning of the movie when she envies her baby brother for, initially, lacking powers.
  Violet: Normal? What do you know about normal? What does anyone in this family know about normal? We act normal, Mom! I wanna be normal! The only normal one here is Jack-Jack, and he's not even toilet-trained!
• Important Hair Accessory: The common shy girl variant, in which she sweeps her bangs back under a headband in the middle of the film, allowing us to see her full face and symbolizing her newfound self-confidence.
• In-Series Nickname: She's called "Vi" by her family and close friends.
• Invisible Introvert: Has invisibility and force-fields as her main powers, which are neatly paired with her (initially) shy and quiet personality. Indeed, Violet's first scene features her making eyes at a boy she's attracted to, but instinctively becoming invisible the moment he glances in her direction. The only point in which she feels comfortable with being visible is at home with her family, who she can actually get quite outspoken around.
• Invisibility: Violet has the ability to turn her body (or just parts of it) invisible at will. She cannot turn her normal clothing invisible, and requires a suit designed by Edna made of special material to become completely invisible while clothed. Expanded non-canon media such as the Boom! Comics series, also reveals she can make other people (including her own family members) invisible just by touching them, which she rarely uses.
• Invisible Streaker: Thankfully Averted in both movies. The super suit that Edna designed for her becomes invisible when she does. A scene in the sequel that was written and voiced, but never animated played this straight when two criminals hold up the restaurant where she and her family are having dinner and Mr. Incredible is in the restroom changing after Jack-Jack. When she and Dash decide to step in and foil the robbery (both realizing they had forgotten their supersuits, though Violet's was Justified as she had just quit being a Superhero in the previous scene), she can be seen slipping under the table and when Dash looks under there a few seconds later, all he sees is a pile of her discarded clothes, followed by one of the robbers suddenly getting tripped up and having his arm shot at by his own gun ^note (which was far more violent than the cut Bob got from the Omnidroid in the first film). The extended scene was never produced for the obvious reason Disney-Pixar wasn't comfortable with having a 14-year old teenager strip naked in a family movie, even if she was invisible at the time and of course the bloodied gunshot arm.
• Kid Hero: She's 14 and becomes a superhero in the end.
• Little Miss Badass: A teen example of the trope. Develops into one during the course of the film, emotionally and physically. She saves Dash twice in the first film and has several moments in the sequel, such as defeating a hypnotized Voyd.
• Logical Weakness: Since she still takes up space, her invisibility can be nullified by any solid particulates that have to flow around her body (smoke, fire extinguisher discharge, etc.), or by her use of any clothing other than her super-suit. Her barrier powers can keep external attacks away (though they have a limit to how much damage they can take), but since she usually leaves a portion of the ground she's standing on unprotected, it leaves her open to attack from a hypnotized Voyd who can make a portal on that patch of ground inside the barrier. It is also implied in other Incredibles media that both of her powers are physically draining ^note which was shown off in a Disneyland adventure story, which was ultimately rendered non-canon to the films as it featured Syndrome Back from the Dead as a Robotic Reveal, comics set after the events of the second film reveal that Violet's barriers can affect Violet on a mental level if they're attacked to the point she outright struggles to maintain her Force Fields (as revealed during a training session with Mr. Incredible's punches being more than enough to give Violet a migraine and later on when she battles her new friend Rose who exploits this weakness) and she can lose consciousness. Both were shown in the first movie: when she tries hiding from Syndrome's henchman in water, he throws mud into the water to reveal her silhouette, and while the Omnidroid is unable to break her barrier with its claws, dropping its full weight onto the barrier is enough to briefly knock her out.
• Maybe Ever After: By the first film's ending, she's come out of her shell a little bit and successfully asks Tony out for a date to the movies. He's subjected to a memory-wipe in the sequel, but again, the two of them are going on an official date at the very end.
• Meaningful Name: Threefold: She's a Shrinking Violet, which references her shyness; ultraviolet, which is a range of light wavelengths invisible to the human eye, referencing her Invisibility superpower; and the color she favors in her clothing and the purple tinge in her eyes and hair.
• Ms. Vice Girl: Although her wrath and anger flares up from time to time, she is a kind and loving soul.
• Nice Girl: She becomes less sullen and cynical later on, and is a kind and compassionate girl at heart. She even apologizes to Voyd after taking her down.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Crosses with Didn't Think This Through. The entire Laser-Guided Amnesia with Tony losing his memory of Violet and thus her first date? It was mainly Violet's fault from the beginning when she threw her mask on the ground angrily where Tony caught her (it also didn't help Tony was at the wrong place at the wrong time and had just barely survived getting crushed by a thrown car by the Underminer) and she told her father about it, which nearly destroyed their growing relationship. Luckily things were sorted out in the end.
• Noodle People: She's quite skinny. Her wikia states that she's only 90 lbs (41 kg).
• Personality Powers: She is a Shrinking Violet who turns invisible and puts up barriers around herself.
• Purple Is Powerful: Violet can generate a near-indestructible, purple-tinged force field around herself which can include other people. She primarily uses this defensively; with the right help (in Dash's case), she can also use this offensively. Beginning in the second film (beginning from the 3-month Time Skip ending of the first film), she trained herself off-screen to the point she can use her force fields offensively to where she can handle herself in a fight.
• The Quiet One: She's the quiet one in a family full of energetic and loud people.
• Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Has black hair, fair skin and rosy cheeks. Tony refers to her as 'cute' in the intro scene of the sequel, noting her updated appearance.
• Relationship Reset Button: After finally being able to talk to Tony, Incredibles 2 starts with him accidentally seeing her without her mask. Hoping to correct the situation when Violet told Bob, Mr. Incredible asks Agent Dicker to wipe his memory of ever seeing her true identity, only for the process to wipe all memory he has of her by complete accident, wiping out their Friday night date. She eventually reestablishes a relationship with him, even managing to set up a date at the theater like the first time.
• Screaming Woman: Well, Screaming Teenage Girl, but Violet tends to have a number of screams throughout the first film. It's not unjustified, given she's been thrown into a lot of situations in a very short period of time where she has to really be a Super despite having little training to prepare for it (or at the least, enthusiasm like her little brother), and she ultimately proves herself capable once she gets her bearings.
• Shrinking Violet: She is a very shy girl, and her name is "Violet" appropriately enough.
• Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy: In the first film, she has a crush on Tony Rydinger, a popular student at their middle school. After the drama of Tony's memory wipe, they finally get together at the end of the sequel.
• Smitten Teenage Girl: The first thing we see her do is admire her crush from afar: Tony Rydinger. When he turns to face her, she turns invisible so he doesn't see her. This crush turns out to be legitimate feelings for him (and while Violet was unaware of it, not one-sided), as they arrange to go on a date at the end of both films.
• Steven Ulysses Perhero: Her name can be interpreted as a reference to ultraviolet light, which is invisible to the naked eye, falling in line with her invisibility power. Her force fields have a violet tinge as well.
• Stone Wall: In the first film, she uses her powers almost exclusively for defense. She develops past this in the sequel thanks to her training herself in the 3-month Time Skip.
• Swiss-Army Superpower: Violet can use her force fields in a variety of situations. She can surround herself, other people as well as objects to protect them. She can also use them as weapons, widen gaps in walls so they are big enough to go through, and even cast them as projectiles to shatter falling objects.
• Took a Level in Badass: Her powers are influenced by her mood and mental state. As a result, she's much less powerful before she overcomes her Shrinking Violet status. By the end of the first film, she's able to project a force field strong enough to protect her family from Syndrome's jet that crashes right on top of them. In the sequel which takes place after the 3-month Time Skip ending that ended the first film (picking up right as the family was about to face the Underminer) Violet's improved her powers so much that she's able to split rocks by sending out force field blasts and is shown to be a very good split-second decision taker in combat and was capable of being The Leader who led a rescue mission to save her parents and thus foiled Evelyn's plans. Even if she still hasn't gotten quite used to throwing punches like her parents, though that didn't stop her from beating down a hypnotized Voyd, a fully grown woman by ramming her with her Force Fields while invisible.
• Took a Level in Cheerfulness: Violet starts out massively introverted and socially reserved, too shy to even speak to a boy she likes. After embracing her superpowers to thwart the villainous Syndrome, Violet emerges from her cocoon, displays more confidence and starts making friends.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Starts out as very distant to the rest of her family, and ESPECIALLY antagonistic to Dash in the first movie, but really steps up to the plate as the story goes on. In the sequel, while she is still shown to get easily frustrated and even gives frequent snarky lines, she is shown to be much more caring and compassionate to those she loves.
• Took a Level in Smartass: In the first movie she starts out as a very shy and quiet girl, but gains more confidence and becomes more outgoing over the course of the movie. In the sequel, we see that her sense of confidence also came with a very strong sense of sardonic wit.
• Wake Up, Go to School & Save the World: She is an effective superhero but dealing with her crush Tony? Difficult. She still has to attend school like all her peers, but has the added difficulty of dealing with a boy whose memory of her was wiped.
• Women Are Wiser: Compared to her brother, she's more level-headed and thoughtful, that is when she's not distracted by teenager problems. She's also the one who normally notices when her parents are in superhero trouble and tries to go help them. Justified with her being the older sibling.

Dash

Dashiell Robert "Dash" Parr

"Look! I'm the Dash!"

Voiced by: Spencer Fox (first film), Huck Milner (second film) ^{Other Languages}Simon Koukissa (European French, first film), Timothé Vom Dorp (European French, second film), Léo Caron (Canadian French, first film), Adam Moussamih (Canadian French, second film)

"You always say 'Do your best', but you don't really mean it. Why can't I do the best that I can do?"

The middle child of the Parr family. He has super-speed powers and gets into trouble at school because he wants to play sports. His mom insists that competing in sports events would be cheating, even if he only won by a little.

---

• Aloof Big Brother: He doesn't spend any time with Jack-Jack in the first movie, and in the second, he doesn't want to have anything to do with him. However, he learns to be more protective, caring and playful towards Jack-Jack through his Character Development.
• Annoying Younger Sibling: Annoying Violet is part of his everyday life; in the second film, Violet refers to him as "embarrassing". However, in spite of it, he's also a very committed brother.
• Badass Adorable: As a precocious and mischievous ten year old, he has the adorable down pat. While he is still inexperienced and unskilled in the full use of his powers, he has the highest kill count of all The Incredibles while on the island as he lures mook after mook into crashing their velocipods.
• Big Brother Instinct:
  • Inverted. He's the younger brother but is fiercely protective of his older sister, Violet. When a mook was trying to shoot Violet, Dash knocked him down with his superspeed, jumped on his chest and started pounding on him while yelling... "DON'T! TOUCH! MY! SISTER!"
  • Played straight when he keeps Jack-Jack safe from the Screen-Slaved supers in the sequel.
• Big Eater: He has a similar appetite to his father when it comes to food, where he is shown trying to eat his steak whole in the first film. In the 2nd film he quickly swallows his veggies in one sitting.
• Borrowed Catchphrase: Dash starts emulating his dad's "yeah, baby!" in the sequel.
• Brother–Sister Team: With his sister Violet. They learn to work together with their powers while on Nomanisan Island.
• Character Development: Played Straight in the first film. His compulsive and competitive nature is the reason why his parents wouldn't let him participate in sporting events because they know he won't be able to resist using his superpowers to win. Unable to vent his abilities, he acted out in various ways like playing pranks or teasing his sister Violet. By the end of the first film, he demonstrated enough responsibility during the island adventure and city rescue that Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl decided he was ready to handle joining the track team, but has to get second place on purpose to not expose his family's identity. Completely Averted by the second film, however, this responsible nature has all but completely faded (outside of superheroics which he's shown to still be responsible with) given that we are shown him grabbing the Incredible's remote control from Mr. Incredible's hand to try and activate the rocket launcher and even after Mr. Incredible takes it back and warns him of the danger, Dash continually tries to retake the remote control while chanting "Launch the Rockets" (although it's likely this scene was Played for Laughs), more or less resetting Dash back into being a troublemaker (though nowhere near as bad compared to the first film) as he gains no new growth at all in the second film.
• Deliberate Under-Performance: Dash's parents encourage him to finish second in a school race, because his ability to easily finish first would give away their secret super-hero identities.
• Dub Name Change: The French dub changes his name to Roger, with his nickname being Fléche ("arrow"). In the German dub, his nickname is "Flash" and it completely removes his first name.
• Establishing Character Moment: Him using his speed to pull pranks on his teachers (and his little Oh, Crap! when he realizes in the office that he was caught by a hidden camera) shows that he's mischievous, a bit rebellious, immature and reckless, and that he takes pride in having powers like his father does.
• Foil: To his older sister, Violet. While Dash wants to use his speed to try out for sports and is chafing against the limitations put on him and his family by the anti-super laws, Violet is tired of the struggles that come with being in a super family and wants to be normal.
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The foolish (uses his super-speed to play a prank on his teacher) to Violet's responsible (doesn't get into trouble at school).
• Fragile Speedster: Has super speed, but is otherwise still a kid. A Mook is able to knock him off his velocipod with a single punch.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Dash inherited his father's blond hair, and evolves into a hero.
• Heroic Lineage: Being the offspring of Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, Dash is naturally inclined to do good with his powers (most of the time), such as saving an elderly woman from being crushed by a flying car and eventually joining Violet and Jack-Jack in leading a rescue for their parents.
• In-Series Nickname:
  • His first name is Dashiell, but he is almost always referred to as "Dash".
  • Frozone calls him "Speedo".
  • In the French dub, his birth name is Roger, but everyone (even people unaware of his powers) call him "Fléche".
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: In the first film he is very competitive, pushy, cocky and mischievous, but he was still heroic and cared about his family. In the sequel, he almost completely drops the "Jerk" part and is more of a playful and good-hearted kid, though he still causes problems for his father.
• Jumped at the Call: He’s thrilled to become a superhero and tag along on his parent’ adventures.
• Keet: His response to the super hero legacy is to go super speed and gush about 'cool outfits'.
• Kid Hero: School age super speedster.
• Meaningful Name: His full name is Dashiell Robert Parr. However, he goes by the shortened nickname of "Dash", which is quite fitting for a super whose power is Super-Speed.
• Muggle Sports, Super Athletes: Deconstructed. His parents know that if he participates in sports, his competitive nature and desire to show off will tempt him to use his super speed and publicly reveal his powers. At the end of the first movie, after he handles himself well on the island, he is allowed to do track racing, but must get second place on purpose to hide his powers.
• Odd Name Out: "Dashiell" doesn't seem like a normal given name to be used, especially in the realistic perspective.
• Out of Focus: Averted in the first film where he got more screentime than his sister Violet (whose problems with animating her iconic long hair was causing problems) and got just as much character growth as her. Played Straight in the second film despite having the same screentime as in the first film, but had no new story arc of his own.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Zig-zagged. As a speedster, Dash can utilize physics to generate power (i.e. Force=Mass*Acceleration). However, as a child, he doesn't have much mass so he needs to leverage his acceleration. When he tries his Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs against a mook, it's largely ineffective due to his small mass and the short distance of his punches doesn't allow for much acceleration time. However, when he later speeds directly into the mook trying to shoot Violet, he's able to knock him completely off his feet and send him sprawling.
• The Prankster: His first scene has him using his super-speed to play a prank on his teacher during class. It's heavily implied that Dash has done this before.
• Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: He can pull this off with super speed, although given his small stature, both of the times he's tried it the victim shrugged it off.
• Smug Super: He shows signs of becoming one - he's already pretty smug about his speed.
• The Speedster: He was born a speedster thanks to both his parents being supers. Even he is not aware of the full extent of his powers, being surprised when he finds out he can run on water. He appears to be a Fragile Speedster as while he is impossibly fast, he only has the average strength of a boy his age. Dash is also has a lot of energy which leads to him using his powers for mischief due to his parents forbidding him from participating in sports.
• Spell My Name with a "The": He refers to himself as "The Dash".
• Steven Ulysses Perhero: His full first name is "Dashiell", which the family shortens to "Dash".
• Strong Family Resemblance: Is practically a splitting image of his dad.
• Subtle Superpowering: Does this twice.
  • Dash subtly uses his powers while at school to prank his teacher. When the teacher tries to prove it to others, no one believes him except Dash's mother, who is disappointed with Dash but is not going to expose him.
  • Near the end of the movie, Dash is competing in a foot race. While he runs much, much slower than he normally does, he's still much faster than the other competitors. He even gives them a bit of a head start. Dash's family even tells him to try to get second (which confuses the person sitting next to them) so that he doesn't cheat.
• Super-Reflexes: When Dash accidentally lands on one of the velocipods, the mook pilot is completely unable to land anything on Dash until he was distracted by the incoming cliff.
• Super-Speed: He can move so fast that he can pull a prank on camera and avoid punishment because the camera can't keep up with him. He is also fast enough to run on water.
• Teacher's Unfavorite Student: Dash's fourth-grade teacher Mr. Kropp hates him because the boy keeps using his super speed to play pranks on him like putting thumbtacks on his chair, especially since he can't even prove that Dash is doing it.
• Too Qualified to Apply: Dash's parents don't let him compete in sports because they know he will not restrain his Super-Speed enough to maintain their cover. By the end of the movie, however, Dash's super-heroics leave him feeling accomplished enough to willfully restrain himself to taking second place.
• Walk on Water: Not one of his natural powers, but he can run fast enough to do it. This is shown when being chased by Syndrome's Mooks, where he is surprised to find himself running on a lake.
• Youthful Freckles: He's a ten year old boy with freckles which are even more noticeable in the sequel.

Jack-Jack

John Jackson "Jack-Jack" Parr

Voiced by: Eli Fucile, Maeve Andrews (first film only), Nicholas Bird (demon-baby form, second film) ^{Other Languages}Claudia-Laurie Corbeil (Canadian French, first film), Ezra Langelier (Canadian French, second film)

The youngest member of the Parr family, Jack-Jack has not learned how to talk and has not shown many signs of possessing super-powers.

---

• Art Evolution: In the first movie, when he was on fire, his flames were yellow and looked more like magma. In the second, they're now red, looking and flowing like real world fire.
• Ascended Extra: Didn't have that big of a role in the first film. However, he got his own short film and the second film made him just as important to the plot as the rest of the family.
• The Baby of the Bunch: Literally—Jack-Jack, at a year to a year and a half old, is the youngest member of the Parr family.
• Badass Adorable: Jack-Jack is an adorable baby. However, when he becomes aware that Syndrome is taking him away from his mother, his latent superpower manifests violently as he explodes into fire, becomes metal and transforms into a demonic-looking imp that attacks Syndrome. Edna and Frozone in the sequel make it clear that even by Super standards, he's abnormally strong.
• The Berserker: Downplayed in that, as a toddler, his "berserker rage" is throwing a temper tantrum. However, the nature of his powers is such that when he has a tantrum he transforms into a red demonic imp form that has no compunctions against launching onto Mr. Incredible's arm and gnawing upon it to vent his frustration at being denied a cookie.
• Beta Outfit: His superhero outfit is just a mask and a onesie without the Incredibles logo, unlike the rest of his family. However, it's fully functional and made to accommodate all his powers, courtesy of his Auntie Edna.
• Beware the Nice Ones: While he's still a friendly, fun-obsessed baby, it's still not a good idea to make him angry. Or deny him cookies.
• Big Sister Worship: Looks up to and absolutely adores Violet. Shown when he looks affectionately at Violet after she saves him in the Incredicoaster pre-ride show.
• Brainy Baby: In the second movie, Jack-Jack definitely shows signs of this and Edna herself makes note of his intelligence. He holds his own in a fight against a wild raccoon, knows how to use the TV remote and learns how to shoot lasers from his eyes in bursts after watching a burglar fire a gun in a movie. During the final battle in the climax, he realizes he needs to destroy the goggles on the brainwashed heroes when he sees his mom destroy a pair.
• Cheerful Child: When well-fed and not being kidnapped, he is generally a happy, cheerful, adorable baby.
• Chrome Champion: One of his powers involves turning into solid metal, nearly causing Syndrome to drop him.
• Combo Platter Powers: Both movies and both shorts show him exhibiting a wide array of superpowers: laser vision, flight, intangibility, duplication, turning into a demon, etc.
• The Cutie: Even with his unpredictable use of his various superpowers (including shapeshifting into a monster), it's still hard not to consider him as this.
• Death Glare: Gives Syndrome an absolutely adorable one before bursting into flames.
• Dimensional Traveler: Jack-Jack is shown to be able to shift his molecules to enter another dimension for short periods of time before reappearing in his home dimension. Some cases where he appears to "teleport" may be just another example of this ability.
• Equippable Ally: When Jack-Jack demonstrates the ability to fire Eye Beams on command when being held, Violet is able to use him to shoot down a hypnotized Screech who had abducted Dash.
  Mr. Incredible: No firing the baby around the house!
• Eye Beams: Jack-Jack can shoot green laser beams from his eyes.
• Fiery Redhead: Well, he inherited his mother's red hair... at the end of the first movie, he becomes irate when Syndrome attempts to abduct him, and he proceeds to use his shape-shifting powers to turn himself into a very literal example. His monster form in the sequel has bright orange hair and Big Ol' Eyebrows.
• Flight: Jack-Jack can lift himself into the air, though whether it's due to innate flying powers or simply an extension of his telekinesis is ambiguous.
• Goo-Goo-Godlike: The sequel shows that he may have as many as 17 different powers, a few of which can be considered god-like, depending on how you count them.
• Heroic Lineage: An Establishing Character Moment in Incredibles 2 has Jack-Jack watching a movie involving a Blatant Burglar. He then notices a raccoon digging through their trash and draws a comparison between it and the bad guy on screen, where he then uses his powers to drive it off.
• The Hyena: A cheerful child, he tends to giggle whenever he unleashes a new power, or in response to the panic he tends to cause in others.
• Immune to Fire: One of the licensed comics reveals that he's impervious to fire, as a side effect of his fire powers.
• Innocently Insensitive: Being that he's a baby, he doesn't really understand the trouble he's causing with his superpowers and thinks it's just a fun game.
• In-Series Nickname: His full name is John Jackson Parr—but everyone calls him Jack-Jack for short, though.
• Intangibility: He is shown manifesting a form of molecular vibration that enables him to dislodge grips, remove items placed on him or phase through solid objects.
• Keystone Superpower: Jack-Jack's superpower is officially defined as "molecular self-manipulation". meaning he can use Voluntary Shapeshifting to rewrite his own genetics and give himself any power he wants in such a wide array that it borders on Combo Platter Powers. While it was shown briefly, it's hinted he can affect others with his powers as well, such as by warping reality inside the Incredibile that was powerful enough to outright affect Violet and Dash.
• Late-Arrival Spoiler: As of the teasers for Incredibles 2, Jack-Jack's various abilities are made apparent.
• Made of Iron: Not counting when he literally turns into iron, he seems to be much more durable than the average baby, flying through the ceiling fast enough to make holes in the ceiling and wrestling with a wild raccoon with no visible scratches or injury.
• Magic Pants: Zig-zagged. When he discovers his teleporting powers, his diaper remains behind and doesn't travel with him. However, when he uses his powers to fight Syndrome, his diaper does remain perfectly intact when he bursts into flames and transforms into a monster.
• Meaningful Name: A true jack of all trades.
• Making a Splash: As shown during Auntie Edna, he is able to transform into water.
• Mind over Matter: Jack-Jack can use telekinesis to levitate himself and move far-away objects.
• Muggle Born of Mages: Subverted. Despite hailing from a family of supers, Jack-Jack doesn't appear to have any powers of his own. However, it turns out they just hadn't manifested yet and he actually has a wide array of powers.
• Never Trust a Trailer: Featured prominently in promotional material in his supersuit even though he does not go on any adventures. He does, however, play a major role in the sequel.
• Perpetual Smiler: He is a very happy baby. The only thing that are shown to make him upset is being separated from his family, not given his cookies, and seeing a raccoon as a burglar.
• Psychic Radar: Shows the ability to know that his parents are nearby. While on the Everjust, he is able to locate Elastigirl on the top deck. During the DVD extra "Auntie Edna", there's a scene where a proximity alarm beeps and Jack-Jack immediately knows that it's "Da-Da".
• Reality Warper: For a very brief instance, Jack-Jack appears to bend space within the Incredibile after the kids are forced to flee in the sequel (the same scene also shows he can affect his siblings this way). This ability stretches the boundaries of "molecular self-manipulation" and is likely an Artistic License taken to serve the narrative via Rule of Cool.
• Repetitive Name: He's called "Jack-Jack", as opposed to just Jack. It's not his full name, but you wouldn't know that just from the film.
• Rubber Man: Jack-Jack can shift into a rubbery substance to absorb physical impacts without being hurt. This was likely carried over from his mom, who also has the same powers (though she can stretch herself like rubber, but can't turn into actual rubber.)
• Self-Duplication: During the raccoon fight, he is shown splitting himself into multiple clones.
• Shock and Awe: Jack-Jack can toss out bursts of electric power.
• Sizeshifter: Jack-Jack can grow into a giant, chubby version of his baby form, complete with added baby fat. He can also shrink down to a size small enough to fit on top of a baby bottle.
• Spanner in the Works: He's the sole reason Syndrome ends up dead by his own cape (as he delivered the mad fanboy a serious beating as he was being kidnapped before his angry father finished him off by throwing the car he gave him at his jet that lead to his death), he's also the sole reason Evelyn's plan goes off the rails, as his moving of his mother's hypno goggles gives her enough willpower to break free of Evelyn's control.
• Steven Ulysses Perhero: Jack-Jack has a wide variety of powers, being a "jack of all trades".
• Story-Breaker Power: Officially, his superpower is "molecular self-manipulation", which is shape shifting taken to its logical extreme. He can alter his body in ways that, for all intents and purposes, gives him multiple powers. If he weren't still a baby and actually had control of his ability, Jack-Jack would have presented a serious challenge to the Big Bad in both films, if not outright end them.
• Strong Family Resemblance: Out of his siblings, Jack-Jack resembles their mother the most, with Violet sharing the body portion.
• Superpower Lottery: Jack-Jack is a polymorph who can manipulate his body on a molecular level. Therefore all of his "distinct" powers are actually a manifestation of a single ability he hasn't learned to control yet. If and when he does learn and master, Jack-Jack would arguably be one of the most versatile Supers on the planet, if not the most powerful in the world.
• Super Smoke: During a montage in Auntie Edna, he demonstrated being able to become intangible smoke.
• Super-Strength: During his fight with the Rocky the raccoon, he demonstrates strength far beyond that of a normal baby. This was likely a result of his father's who has the same power as well.
• Teleportation: He can disappear and reappear in another location several feet away. It is unclear if this is a separate power or just a manifestation of his Dimensional Traveler ability.
• Trademark Favorite Food: In the sequel, Jack-Jack loves cookies so much that denying him one can cause him to shapeshift into his monster form and go into a berserk rage.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Jack-Jack is abnormally powerful even by Super standards according to Edna, but since he's a baby, he doesn't use his ability with any finesse, and he's only shown to have conscious control over his Eye Beams and telekinesis. Several times in the second film he randomly teleports into the air and falls to the ground, although it's Played for Laughs because Mr. Incredible always catches him. The exact power level of his abilities has not yet been determined and his "victories" against the villains are more due to the element of surprise of a baby with superpowers than any skill on Jack-Jack's part.
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: According to Edna, he's a 'polymorph' and thus all of his powers are the result of his ability to manipulate his body on the molecular level.
• Walking Spoiler: Sure, he does get some screen time, but his having superpowers is the spoiler. It is a Late-Arrival Spoiler by the time of the sequel, though.
• Wall Crawl: Although it's unclear if he has altered his body to physically stick to the wall or is simply levitating himself to crawl along the wall.
• Wreathed in Flames: Near the end of the first film, Jack-Jack shifts into an explosive, fiery form while Syndrome is holding him.
