History Characters / TheIncredibles

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: {{Implied|Trope}}. After Huph tells Rick about Bob's dismissal, Rick erased Huph's memories of Bob's super strength.

* MeanBoss: {{Exaggerated|Trope}}. In addition to his greed and complete apathy towards his customers, he fiddles with an Insuricare memo which says that things like electricity consumption, phone charges, and even office supplies will be deducted from employee pay. It then goes on to thank employees for the most profitable year so far! Additionally, when Bob points out a man down on the street is getting mugged, Huph's hopes the company won't cover him and is glad that the mugger got away, so he could keep grilling Bob with words.

* BeyondRedemption: '''''Ironically''''', the guy who tries to [[EngineeredHeroics pretend in enacting superheroism publicly]] is the same person who [[NeverMyFault refuses to realize his own mishaps]], whether they're immoral or not.

A retired superhero with ice-based powers, and Mr. Incredible's best friend from the old days. Unlike Mr. Incredible, he's settled into civilian life and only reluctantly joins him on his attempts to relive the GloryDays.

** '''Wrath:''' He's easily angered (which can be rooted from his childhood rejection from Mr. Incredible), especially when his plans as a supervillain were foiled by someone else.

* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: Unlike Syndrome from the first ''Incredibles'' movie, the reason for her descent into villainy is actually '''a lot''' more tragic, as the deaths of her and Winston's parents heavily affected her, to the point where she thinks that supers are responsible for making humans reliant on them for serious criminal cases. Additionally, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes she does have her loved ones]], as well, as opposed to Syndrome, who truly cares about no one but himself in the end.

* EngineeredHeroics: Syndrome's EvilPlan is a textbook case of ''hero syndrome'', staging a threat that only he could stop or so he thought and then bask in the public admiration.

* EvilRedhead: He is the main antagonist and has red flame-shaped hair, though his hair was blond as a kid.

* FreudianExcuse: A [[EvilIsPetty ridiculously petty one]]. He turned against the Supers because Mr. Incredible wouldn't take him in as his heroic sidekick.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: From an unknown child prodigy to a supervillain and mass murderer.

* LargeHam: She might be tiny, but the ham is huge. [[DVDCommentary Brad Bird]] talks about how everything about her -- her house, her furniture, the art on her walls, the people she spoke with -- were designed to highlight the contrast between her tiny physical size and her forceful, overbearing personality. ''She'' might be tiny, but she thinks, talks and acts '''BIG'''.

* MisplacedRetribution: She wants to permanently make all supers illegal and is [[VillainHasAPoint right]] that her father's attempt to call Supers (who were still illegal at that point) instead of hiding in the safe room when their house was broken into was [[TooDumbToLive pointless and stupid]]. However, she doesn't seem to either have any desire to punish the people who ''actually'' killed her father or ensure criminals don't get away with those sorts of crimes again. Additionally, she makes it clear that she blames ''supers'' for her father's death rather than the fact that it was his ''own fault''.

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: What she actually is, deep down, even when she once worked under Syndrome. This trait of hers is partially what made her lead him to to his ultimate downfall with the help of the Incredibles (alongside her MistreatmentInducedBetrayal against him).

* AxCrazy: He is clearly a sociopath and after being rejected in his youth by Mr. Incredible, he snapped and became the homicidal maniac he is today. He intentionally kills Super after Super to build the perfect Omnidroid to defeat Mr. Incredible. He unleashes his Omnidroid on the city without regard for the civilians who could be hurt or killed just so he can pretend to be a superhero. When his plans are thwarted he tries to abduct Jack-Jack, fully intending to raise him as his own sidekick.

* {{Gonk}}: He ''surely'' does possess a rather massive chin and crooked teeth that are often on display. Even when he was younger, he already has this kind of physical trait.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Despite creating the Omnidroid to be a EvolvingThreat learning robot capable of adapting quickly to its foes, Syndrome's narcissism means he never anticipates it would treat ''him'' the same way during his EngineeredHeroics plan. He's taken completely by surprise when it blasts the remote off his arm, having determined that it's what he was using to fight it.

* AdaptiveAbility: One of the things that makes it dangerous is the fact that it will adapt its tactics to defeat whatever is being used against it. We see in Mr. Incredible's fight with v.08 that his attacks only work once before being anticipated and countered by the robot.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Despite creating the Omnidroid to be a [[EvolvingThreat learning robot]] capable of adapting quickly to its foes, Syndrome's narcissism means he never anticipates it would treat ''him'' the same way once he starts using its control remote against the Omnidroid during his EngineeredHeroics plan. He's taken completely by surprise when it blasts the remote off his arm, having determined that it was the greatest threat to the Omnidroid on the field.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Ironically, despite creating the Omnidroid to be a learning robot capable of adapting quickly to its foes, Syndrome's narcissism causes him to underestimate the Omnidroid's danger as it seems he never even considers the possibility that it would use its full resources to analyze ''his fight'' and is completely taken by surprise when the Omnidroid determines that he's using the remote control against it and shoots it off his arm.

* {{Jerkass}}: Gamma Jack was prone to tyrannical, megalomaniacal impulses and believed Supers to be a [[FantasticRacism "superior race".]] He also admitted to prioritizing some rescues over others and comes across as a womanizing sleazebag as well.

* {{Foil}}: Is somewhat this to Mirage, as both have done some significantly criminal work, especially against supers (such as Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl). However, Mirage herself actually doesn't hold anything against supers in general, despite working under Syndrome (who passionately hates them just because of his personal childhood rejection from being Mr. Incredible's sidekick) as opposed to Evelyn, whose personal grudge towards supers is strongly rooted from the tragic loss of her and Winston's parents.

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: His hair goes from auburn in the first film to dark brown in the second. Likely to different him from Elastigirl who also has a similar hair color.

* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: Unlike Syndrome from the first ''Incredibles'' movie, the reason for her descent into villainy is actually '''a lot''' more tragic, as the deaths of her and Winston's parents heavily affected her, to the point where she thinks that supers are responsible for such tragedy. Additionally, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes she does have her loved ones]], as well, as opposed to Syndrome, who cares about nobody but himself.

* SamusIsAGirl: Evelyn is the Screenslaver.

* MeaningfulName: "Mode" is the French word for "fashion" or "style" (as in the expression "à la mode" i.e. "fashionable"), which is an appropriate name for a fashion designer. "Edna" also means "pleasure" in Hebrew -- she does enjoy designing.

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