History Characters / TheIncredibles

* WouldHurtAChild: Has no problem using mind-controlled supers to harm Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack.

* MightyGlacier: In her limited screen time, Brick is shown to be huge, incredibly strong and very durable but not particularly fast-moving, which is a huge contrast to Mr. Incredible, who has Brick's exact power set but is far smaller, faster and more experienced than her.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Brick has an ambiguously European tone to her voice, but is actually from Wisconsin.[[note]]Which implies she's a recent immigrant from one of the European countries, likely the Soviet Union.[[/note]]

* OffScreenMomentOfAwesome: Some of them (including Gamma Jack, Macroburst and Hypershock) managed to defeat one of the Omnidroid prototypes before Syndrome set the next one on them.

* BoxedCrook: Blazestone was once a villain before being arrested and convinced to become a hero at least partially for release.

* SequelNonEntity: She does not appear in the sequel at all, though she does feature in a deleted scene that focuses on her strange behavior after her memory of Jack-Jack was wiped by Rick Dicker.

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: His hair goes from auburn in the first film to dark brown in the second.

* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: Subverted. He runs away when he discovers Violet has superpowers. However, during his interrogation with Agent Dicker, he specifically says that he's secure enough in his masculinity to not be bothered by strong girls. He ran away simply because he was surprised and caught off-guard by the relevation.

* SatelliteLoveInterest: He shows up in the beginning and the end of the film and mainly exists as Violet's crush. In fact, he only really exists to demonstrate ''Violet's'' character development. At the beginning of the film, she's too shy to even remain visible in his presence. At the end, she's able to talk with him and get a date while ''he's'' stammering nervously. In the sequel, we do learn more about him (he plays music and sports and works part-time as a waiter in his parents' diner) and he gets more screentime, but his character still serves mostly to develop Violet (in this case, her accepting responsibility to taking care of Jack-Jack).

* AcePilot: The deleted scene that showed him flying the plane demonstrates his skilled maneuvering, all while he's shouting for Syndrome to "Abort!" the missiles. He buys time for Elastigirl to protect the kids when Violet can't summon a shield big enough to protect everyone.
* DemotedToExtra: He was intended to play the role of a SacrificialLamb, to emphasize that Syndrome is a legitimate threat. However, Brad Bird realized that it was going to take too much screen time to establish him as character that the audience would feel for when he died. So, the pilot role was transferred onto Elastigirl and Snug becomes the go-to guy when she needs a plane.

* MightyGlacier: In her limited screen time, Brick is shown to be huge, incredibly strong but not particularly fast-moving, which a is huge contrast to Mr. Incredible.

* OldSuperhero: Reflux is clearly a senior citizen superhero.
* ScaryBlackMan: Krushauer, when he's under the Screensaver's control, is indeed scary when he looms over and crushes you, which he nearly does to Violet.

* UglySlavicWomen: Subverted. Brick looks the stereotype and sounds vaguely Slavic, but says she's from Wisconsin.[[note]]It's likely implied she's a recent immigrant from the Incredibles version of the Soviet Union (which would exist in their universe since the series is set in TheSixties) and has yet to properly master her American accent.[[/note]]
* UnskilledButStrong: They have powers, but aren't as experienced in using them or adapting to changing situations in a fight, allowing the far more experienced Parrs to defeat them.

* CharacterDevelopment: PlayedStraight 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 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 PlayedForLaughs), more or less resetting Dash back into being a troublemaker as he gains no new growth at all in the second film.

* HeroicLineage: 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.

* WeightWoe: A complete inversion of her parents'. In deleted storyboards during the first film's development (as seen by Sarah Vowell's essay called ''Vowellet'' on the first film's bonus features), Violet actually ''hated'' her skinny body and complained her fears to her mom that she was getting skinnier and skinnier (or in her own words ''ganglier''). Highly implying that Violet herself is ''anorexic'', which was removed in the final product due to fears of upsetting people who were battling anorexia, which was a major hot topic at the time.

* CharacterDevelopment: Zig-zagged. 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. 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. By the second film, however, this responsible nature has (somewhat) faded 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 PlayedForLaughs).

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: 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.

** 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 pulling a 10MinuteRetirement because of it[[/note]]. 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[[/note]].

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Crosses with NiceJobBreakingItHero. This happens to Violet in 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 LaserGuidedAmnesia and missing her Friday night date more or less Violet's fault and she was unaware of it.

* KeystoneSuperpower: Jack-Jack's superpower is officially defined as ''"molecular self-manipulation"''. meaning he can use VoluntaryShapeshifting to rewrite his own genetics and give himself any power he wants in such a wide array that it borders on ComboPlatterPowers.

* RealityWarper: For a ''very'' brief instance, Jack-Jack appears to bend space within the Incredibile after the kids are forced to flee in the sequel. This ability stretches the boundaries of ''"molecular self-manipulation"'' and is likely an ArtisticLicense taken to serve the narrative via RuleOfCool.

* SpannerInTheWorks: He's 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.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Out of his siblings, Jack-Jack resembles their mother the most.
* SuperpowerLottery: 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, Jack-Jack would arguably be one of the most versatile Supers on the planet.

* BigEater: {{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 ComfortFood and HeartbreakAndIceCream 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.

* BigEater: {{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 ComfortFood and HeartbreakAndIceCream 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.

** Gets a double 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 confront the Underminer [[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 her pulling a 10MinuteRetirement because of it[[/note]].

* ComfortFood: 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 BigEater tendencies do run in the family, though only when Violet's going through teenage problems.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: While most women in the films have round faces and HartmanHips (or in Violet's and Mirage's case being very skinny NoodlePeople), Voyd has an angular face and more proportional shoulders to waist, inverting the usual trope of MasculineLinesFeminineCurves. Her side-mullet is also a more modern hairstyle than the 50s-esque fashion of the setting.[[note]]Her design also makes Voyd look like an older version of Violet as revealed under the WhatCouldHaveBeen section, implying Voyd's design was originally meant for Violet as an adult before becoming her own character.[[/note]]

* AllThereInTheScript: Downplayed. Krushauer and He-lectrix don’t give their names to Elastigirl when they meet, unlike the others, and their names are never said on screen, only appearing in the end credits.

* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear whether some of the [=DevTech=] Supers were active during the Golden Age of Supers or not. Elastigirl doesn't seem to recognize them, but Winston's comments suggest that at least some of them were. Reflux clearly has heroic impulses and would have been more than old enough to fight crime before Supers were banned, it's also hinted Screech was around during the same time as well.

* AscendedFangirl: Elastigirl is her hero and she gets to help her defeat the Screenslaver in the end.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Downplayed. While her past is never really brought to light, everything from her body language to her nervous stammering to her asking Elastigirl how she is able to balance her life implies that her superpowers have not made life easy for her.

* NiceGirl: Voyd is generally shown to be a friendly, if slightly awkward young woman, even when she accepts Violet's apology for knocking her out and noticing quickly how much they have in common.

* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear whether some of the [=DevTech=] Supers were active during the Golden Age of Supers or not. Elastigirl doesn't seem to recognize them, but Winston's comments suggest that at least some of them were. Reflux clearly has heroic impulses and would have been more than old enough to fight crime before Supers were banned.

* BrawnHilda: Brick is a giant brawny woman who has enormous super strength and invulnerability.

* GlassCannon: Most of them are shown to have impressive powers and can use them offensively to good effect, but unlike the more experienced Supers, lack the skill to adapt their powers to defensive or reactive use quite yet.

* MightyGlacier: In her limited screen time, Brick is shown to be huge, incredibly strong but not particularly fast-moving.

* ScaryBlackMan: Krushauer, when he's under the Screensaver's control, is indeed scary when he looms over and crushes you.

* UglySlavicWomen: Subverted. Brick looks the stereotype and sounds vaguely Slavic, but says she's from Wisconsin.
* UnskilledButStrong: They have powers, but aren't as experienced in using them or adapting to changing situations in a fight.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Brick has an ambiguously European tone to her voice, but is actually from Wisconsin.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Combined with DidntThinkThisThrough. The entire LaserGuidedAmnesia 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 and she told her father about it, which nearly destroyed their growing relationship. Luckily things were sorted out in the end.

* PurpleIsPowerful: 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, she can also use this offensively. Beginning in the second film (beginning from the 3-month TimeSkip ending of the first film), she trained herself OffScreen to the point she can use her force fields offensively without the need of others.

* RelationshipResetButton: 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. She eventually reestablishes a relationship with him, even managing to set up a date at the theater like the first time.

* SmittenTeenageGirl: 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, as they arrange to go on a date at the end of both films.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Crosses with NiceJobBreakingItHero. This happens to Violet in 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, making everything that involves her boyfriend getting LaserGuidedAmnesia and missing her Friday night date more or less Violet's fault and she was unaware of it.

* InvisibleStreaker: Thankfully {{Averted}} in both movies. The super suit that Edna designed for her becomes invisible when she does. A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6yEMmeY2F0 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, 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)[[/note]]. The extended scene was never produced for the obvious reason 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.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: While most women in the films have round faces and HartmanHips (or in Violet's and Mirage's case being very skinny NoodlePeople), Voyd has an angular face and more proportional shoulders to waist, inverting the usual trope of MasculineLinesFeminineCurves. Her side-mullet is also a more modern hairstyle than the 50s-esque fashion of the setting.

* DefrostingIceQueen: Violet, to start off with, is an introverted EmoTeen, being not only shy around Tony but also rather closed off towards her family (and quite hostile towards Dash). After she is given a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre 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.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Happens to Violet in 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, making everything that involves her boyfriend getting LaserGuidedAmnesia and missing her Friday night date more or less Violet's fault.

* LogicalWeakness: Since she still takes up space, her invisibility can be nullified by smoke or gas from a fire extinguisher that will reveal her location, or simply by any clothing that isn't 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 BackFromTheDead as a RoboticReveal[[/note]], 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 she can lose consciousness.

* PurpleIsPowerful: 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, she can also use this offensively.

* RelationshipResetButton: After finally being able to talk to Tony, ''Incredibles 2'' starts with him accidentally seeing her without her mask. Hoping to correct the situation, 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. She eventually reestablishes a relationship with him, even managing to set up a date at the theater like the first time.

** Gets a double dosage of this in the 2nd film, primarily due to her crush's increased role.

* FlatCharacter: Since he mainly exists to be Violet's SatelliteLoveInterest, he doesn't have much screen time to develop much of a definitive character. However, he does appear to be a bit shy and a NiceGuy. The sequel does give us more information about him courtesy of Dicker looking him up; Dicker describes Tony as a nice kid who plays sports, plays music, and works part-time as a waiter at his parents' diner.

* SatelliteLoveInterest: He shows up in the beginning and the end of the film and mainly exists as Violet's crush. In fact, he only really exists to demonstrate ''Violet's'' character development. At the beginning of the film, she's too shy to even remain visible in his presence. At the end, she's able to talk with him and get a date while ''he's'' stammering nervously. In the sequel, we do learn more about him (he plays music and sports and works part-time as a waiter in his parents' diner), but his character still serves mostly to develop Violet.

* BigEater: {{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 ComfortFood and HeartbreakAndIceCream upon finding out Tony stood her up on her date, 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.

* WeightWoe: A complete inversion of her parents'. In deleted storyboards during the first film's development (as seen by Sarah Vowell's essay called ''Vowellet'' on the first film's bonus features), Violet actually ''hated'' her skinny body and complained her fears to her mom that she was getting skinnier and skinnier (or in her words ''ganglier''). Highly implying that Violet herself is ''anorexic'', which was removed in the final product due to fears of upsetting people who were battling anorexia, a major hot topic at the time.

** 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 lead to the SuperheroRegistrationAct taking place did create another villain: Evelyn Deavor.

* ColorMotifs: Purple. Her clothing, post and pre-{{character development}}, involved purple. 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.

* CoolOldGuy: Despite his deadpan, stoic attitude, Rick is an elderly ReasonableAuthorityFigure who does his best to help the Parrs against society's negative view on supers.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Dicker's complaints about having to fix Mr. Incredible's messes over and over again have merit. It's not that Rick doesn't care, it's that he realizes always jumping in with super-heroics isn't sustainable. As he says "Someone's ''always'' in trouble" but even though frustrated at Mr. Incredible's actions, he still offers to help Mr. Incredible just once more "for old times' sake". Later when Syndrome is revealed as a super-villain and terrorist, Rick takes the pragmatic action of immediately freezing all of his assets.

* UndyingLoyalty: Dicker still helps out the Parrs after they went underground, paying to keep things quiet and relocating the family whenever Mr. Incredible blows his cover. Even when he has his job taken from him in the sequel, he is still firmly in support of Supers and their cause.

* WouldHitAGirl: 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 confrintation.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: 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 nice amount of CharacterDevelopment 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. Also, has some CharacterDevelopment of course, though nowhere near the amount of her husband's.
* ADayInTheLimelight: She gets more focus in the sequel, as the one Winston Deavor chose as the face of his project to return Supers to legality.

* EvilCostumeSwitch: 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.

* MaleGaze: 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 more attention in the 2nd film.

** 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.
** Gets a double 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 confront the Underminer [[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[[/note]]. 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 [[note]]likewise Violet also ends up reconnecting with Tony at the end while learning from her mistakes[[/note]].

* DeadpanSnarker: 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.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Violet, to start off with, is an introverted EmoTeen, being not only shy around Tony but also rather closed off towards her family (and quite hostile towards Dash). After she is given a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre 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 interfering with her relationship with Tony.

* HollywoodGenetics: 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[[/note]]. 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 CharacterDevelopment, it's also possible that she dyes her hair black[[note]]though the last scenario seems less likely, 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 DeletedScene that opened the first film that shows Violet as a baby was born with black hair[[/note]]. However in terms of body size, Violet takes after her mother (though a skinnier version of her mom).
* HowDoIShotWeb: 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.

* StoneWall: In the first film, she uses her powers almost exclusively for defense. She develops past this in the sequel.

* TookALevelInBadass: Her powers are influenced by her mood and mental state. As a result, she's much less powerful before she overcomes her ShrinkingViolet status. By the end of the 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 she'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 TheLeader who led a rescue mission to save her parents and thus foiled Evelyn's plans. Even though 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.

* LogicalWeakness: Since she still takes up space, her invisibility can be nullified by smoke or gas from a fire extinguisher that will reveal her location, or simply by any clothing that isn't 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[[/note]], comics set after the events of the sequel reveal that Violet's barriers can affect Violet on a mental level if they're attacked to the point she can lose consciousness.

* BadassAdorable: As a precocious and mischievous ten year old, he has the adorable down pat. While he is still inexperienced and unskilled in the full used 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.

* InnocentBlueEyes: Mr. Incredible's blue eyes represent his nice, noble and heroic personality.

* PapaWolf: Mr. Incredible discovers that he is fiercely protective of his family to the point where their apparent death drives him past his RageBreakingPoint and was almost willing to kill Mirage. He doesn't cross that line, but when Syndrome is about to escape and [[BullyingADragon 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, [[TurbineBlender knocking him into the turbines]].

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: 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 nice amount of CharacterDevelopment but was unable to re-legalize supers. 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. Also, has some CharacterDevelopment of course, though nowhere near the amount of her husband's.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Her hair becomes shorter after superheroes are forced to retire and she becomes a mother.

* IWasQuiteAFashionVictim: Mr. Incredible is shocked to learn that she once had a mohawk, but according to Elastigirl, he "didn't miss much".

* SpeechImpediment: She speaks from the right side of her mouth, resulting in a slight lisp. This is a trait carried from her voice actress.

* BadassAdorable: Is a very cute teenager who can generate energy shields from her hands, 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.

* BrotherSisterTeam: With her brother Dash. They learn to work together with their powers while on Nomanisan Island.

* ComfortFood: 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 BigEater tendencies run in the family, though only when Violet's going through teenage problems.
* CoolBigSis: 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. She always looks out for her brothers when on superhero duty, and is willing to go to great lengths to protect them.

* LogicalWeakness: Since she still takes up space, her invisibility can be nullified by smoke or gas from a fire extinguisher that will reveal her location, or simply by any clothing that isn't her super-suit. Her barrier powers can keep external attacks away, 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.* MaybeEverAfter: 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.

* LogicalWeakness: Violet (despite having the strongest powers) has by far the most weaknesses of the entire family. Since she still takes up space, her invisibility can be nullified by smoke or gas from a fire extinguisher that will reveal her location, or simply by any clothing that isn't her super-suit. Her Force Fields can keep external attacks away (such as stray bullets and He-Lectric's electricity), but they have a limit on how much damage they can actually take before getting shattered and rendering Violet helpless [[note]]Omnidroid V10 was nearly able to kill Violet this way with three direct blows to destroy her Force Fields and was about a split-second away from actually killing her[[/note]]. Violet also cannot move at all while using her Force Fields defensively without Dash's help (the Omnidroid V10, Reflux and Krushauer all took advantage of this), and other superpowers can also weaken her barriers further as shown with the lava from Reflux which was capable of outright disrupting if not ''melting'' the barriers [[note]](which would have ''burnt'' Violet to death had it hit her unprotected head as her supersuit was immune to temperatures above 1,000° fahrenheit)[[/note]], and Krushauer's powers of telekinetic crushing are ''highly effective'' to the point he nearly crushed ''Violet and Jack-Jack'' to death within her own Force Fields, and 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. In the ''Incredibles 2'' comics made by Dark Horse Comics, her Force Fields gained another notable weakness which are tied to Violet's mental health, meaning that any attack that hits her barriers makes ''Violet'' feel those effects herself, to the point she gets a massive headache and possibly blacks out [[note]](this was done first by training with Mr. Incredible in order to train his kids by delivering a barrage of blows to Violet's Force Fields, only to quickly stop once he saw they were giving her migraines, and the second was when she was being attacked by Rose, a girl Violet's age with Sonic based powers who was being used by her supervillain father to rob the school dance Violet was attending, and manages to take advantage of Violet's Force Field weakness by attacking them with her sonic powers)[[/note]].
