The Incredibles/Characters

Characters that featured in The Incredibles and Incredibles 2.

The Parrs

The family of which the franchise is named after.

---

• Alternate Company Equivalent: More like "subsidiary" instead of "company", but 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 explore a family dynamic as they go adventuring together. There's also an overlap of powers between the two groups.
• Badass Family: Naturally, since they are a family of superheroes.
• Big, Thin, Short Trio: Dash, Violet, and Jack-Jack respectively.
• A Boy, a Girl, and a Baby Family: Dash, Violet and Jack-Jack respectively.
• Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Zig-Zagged between Dash and Violet respectively. Dash is the less responsible of the two even though he's the more openly excitable one. On the other hand, Violet, despite her temperamental nature (similar to Helen), is still the more softhearted between them.
• Brought to You by the Letter "S": Their supersuits feature a lowercase i on the chest.
• Domino Mask: They all wear one when doing hero work to protect their identities.
• Dysfunctional Family: In the first half of the first film. Bob and Dash are dissatisfied with having to live an average life and keep their powers hidden under the Super Relocation Act, and Violet is anxious about not being normal. Then there are 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.
• Freudian Trio: The kids.
  • Jack-Jack is the id. Since he is a baby, he spends a lot of time cooing and gurgling at home while his siblings are out in the fray. His impulses drive the use of his powers, particularly his fire and monster forms.
  • Dash is the ego. He is much more impulsive and immature than Violet, but knows when to get serious in certain moments unlike Jack-Jack.
  • Violet is the superego. She is much calmer and more logical compared to Dash, and worries more about staying alive than outright seeking danger like him.
• Gendered Outfit: Helen and Violet’s costumes have thigh-high boots.
• Good Is Not Soft: They are capable of using lethal force when there is no other safe option. Piss any of them off by threatening or hurting there fellow family members, and watch out.
• 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's focus on wanting to relive his Glory Days came at the expense of giving his family attention, and how he works through that. When he thought he lost Elastigirl and the kids when Syndrome shot down her plane, this brought him to his Rage Breaking Point. The second film shows Mr. Incredible willing to take care of the family while Elastigirl works to make 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.
• Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Mr. Incredible is about a head taller than his wife, Elastigirl, and he's physically massive compared to her.
• Ideal Heroes: They all have minor flaws, but are all extremely determined, heroic in nature, and more than willing to risk their lives to fight against any serious threat.
• Ironic Name: Their surname "Parr" means "average", something they are definitely not.
• Like Father, Like Son: Both Mr. Incredible and his son Dash are blondes who are quite athletic, which is further aided by their Super Strength and Super Speed respectively, and are rebelliously impulsive in their own ways.
• Like Mother, Like Daughter: Both Elastigirl and her daughter Violet are capable of being spontaneous, have their respective romances (Mr. Incredible for Elastigirl; Tony Rydinger for Violet), and have followed The Smurfette Principle (Elastigirl for her closest superhero allies Mr. Incredible and Frozone, Violet for her brothers Dash and Jack-Jack). They also try to keep their husband/brother in line at some point (Elastigirl telling Mr. Incredible to stop doing secret superhero work, Violet telling Dash in the cave that their parents are in danger, and to stop treating the mission as a vacation).
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Elastigirl and Mr. Incredible respectively in the opening of the first film. Mr. Incredible says he'd like nothing more than to take a break from being a superhero and live the simple life. Elastigirl, on the other hand, scoffs at the idea of settling down, and wants to continue being a superhero for as long as possible. Ironically, this dynamic greatly contrasts with their respective primary superpowers (elasticity for Elastigirl; super strength for Mr. Incredible).
• Meaningful Name: 'Parr' is one letter off 'par', meaning average. This is a juxtaposition since the Parrs are Supers, and are therefore not 'par'.
• Mundane Utility: Each family member is seen using their powers for purposes other than superhero work several times.
  • Mr. Incredible uses his Super Strength to lift furniture so his wife can vacuum under it, 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, and to play pranks on his family.
• My Suit Is Also Super: The five Parrs' suits are designed by Edna to withstand 1000ºF (538ºC) heat, are bullet-proof, are comfortable to wear, and machine-washable as a new feature, but are also tailored 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, evidenced by his jar full of bullets that have bounced off of him. The only thing that is shown to be strong enough to penetrate it (and his skin) is the razor sharp claws of the Omnidroid v.8. It also proves to be able to withstand the temperature of a volcano when he fights the v.8. His modern red suit likewise is completely indestructible by default.
  • Elastigirl's suit can stretch as far as she can and is virtually indestructible like that of her husband's, even against missile attacks as seen in the first film.
  • 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. It indestructibility is proven when Violet attempts to destroy the suit in a garbage disposal unit. The suit will protect Violet from getting shot at by crooks while fighting crime, though it doesn't protect Violet's head.
  • Dash's suit can withstand incredible friction without heating up, useful for when he has to run long distances constantly without stopping. Like with his parents and sister's respective suits, it's also indestructible as seen in the missile attack.
  • Jack-Jack's suit initially only covered the aforementioned basics, but Edna rises to the challenge in the sequel of building a better 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. The Auntie Edna short shows this process.
• Nice, Mean and In-Between: The happy-go-lucky Jack-Jack (nice), the troublesome Dash (mean) and the instinctive Violet (in-between).
• Only Known by Their Nickname: The male members are much more frequently referred to by their nicknames (Bob, Dash, and Jack-Jack) than their formal names (Robert, Dashiell and John Jackson).
• Red Is Heroic: Their supersuits. Edna designed them after all.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Jack-Jack and Dash give off this sort of dynamic as brothers, as Jack-Jack's a very emotionally responsive baby, while his older brother Dash is a strong-willed sports boy.
• Shipper on Deck: The entire family supports Violet's crush on Tony Rydinger, much to her embarrassment, even her annoying brother Dash who teased her about it in the first film.
• Super Family Team: One of the finest examples. They may often fight in smaller groups, but when they join together, they are very powerful.
• Superhero: Their powers, costumes and heroics make them ideal examples.
• Superhero Team Uniform: They wear near-identical superhero costumes, with the exception of Jack-Jack, but his costume still shares the same mask and red-and-black colour scheme as his family’s costumes.
• Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Dash and Violet respectively, further justified with their age difference.
• Two Girls to a Team: Elastigirl and Violet, mother and daughter.
• Underwear of Power: Their superhero costumes (except Jack-Jack’s) make them look like they’re wearing black briefs over their suit.
• Undying Loyalty: The parents are extremely protective and caring of their kids, and the kids go out of their way to help their parents in moments of danger.

Robert Parr/Mr. Incredible

Mr. Incredible is a Super from the Golden Age. He marries Elastigirl and plays an important role in bringing about the Super Relocation Program, which forced all Supers to keep their secret identities to themselves.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• The Ace: He's one of the most famous and powerful superheroes on the planet. Syndrome regards Mr. Incredible as the biggest hurdle for his Omnidroid to overcome, and therefore, the entire Operation Kronos.
• 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. Is averted once he gets himself back into shape.
• Action Dad: A Super that tucks his kids into bed after a day of work at Insuricare. In the sequel, he becomes a house husband, but he goes back into action once he hears that Helen is in danger.
• Amazon Chaser: Is married to fellow Super Elastigirl.
• Badass:
  • Badass Abnormal
  • Badass in Distress: As Syndrome's prisoner.
  • Retired Badass: For a while.
• Battle Couple: With Helen.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: Mr. Incredible stands out as someone who 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 face of the Super re-legalisation campaign rather than him, while also trying to remain positive for her.
• Create Your Own Villain: His rejection and harsh treatment of Buddy drove the latter to hunt down Supers, with Mr. Incredible being his end goal.
• Dumb Muscle: Averted, since he is somewhat smart.
• Exhausted Eye Bags: Mr. Incredible develops eye bags in the second film after losing sleep from holding down the Parr family fort, dealing with his kids' problems. He does get better after finally getting 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 the Glory Days serve as major problems 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 realises he still hasn't reached his goal. He's finally satisfied when he reaches his desired weight without sucking it in.
• Foil: To Syndrome. While Bob intends to help people as a Super, Syndrome does it for the fortune and recognition. While Bob never let his ego get too inflated, Syndrome did, putting him on the path to villainy.
• Formerly Fit: He gained a lot of weight while living under the Super Relocation Act for 15 years. He still has his Super Strength and is quite capable in combat, but has lost some agility, endurance and flexibility. This is shown during his fight with the Omnidroid v.8, 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
• Glory Days: He misses them dearly, and wants to be a Super again.
• Happily Married
• Heroes Want Redheads: He's married to a Red Headed Heroine.
• Hot Dad
• House Husband: In the sequel, where he struggles massively.
• I Work Alone: During his time as a superhero, Mr. Incredible makes a point to tell others, including 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, wanting them to join him on superhero missions.
• Immune to Bullets: One of his mementos is a jar full of deformed rounds with the label "Bullets That Bounced Off Me".
• Improbable Weapon User: He takes out a mook with a coconut.
• In Harm's Way: Bob's dissatisfaction with his post-Glory Days life is heavily driven by the dullness when compared to the adventure of superhero work. Helen held to this trope during the Glory Days; it was Bob who considered Home, Sweet Home an interesting future.
• Lantern Jaw of Justice: You bet.
• Meaningful Name: Drop an R from his last name and he's Bob Average. Very ironic considering he is a Super.
• Made of Iron/Nigh Invulnerable: Survives being crushed by a bank vault door, falling several stories, and being hit by a train all in one scene.
• Neck Lift: Rare heroic examples.
  • Though he was on the precipice of a Despair Event Horizon...
• Nice Guy: He's not a superhero because he loves thrills, it 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 slightly soured guy, most of the time.
• Nigh-Invulnerable: Mr. Incredible is able to withstand tremendous amounts of physical trauma and blunt forces, including multi-storey 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 his indestructibility rating is so far above all the other Supers.
• Older Hero vs. Younger Villain: The older hero to Syndrome's younger villain, being roughly 15 years older than him.
• Papa Wolf: Is fiercely protective of his family, and goes past the Despair Event Horizon when it's apparent they were killed by Syndrome's missiles. Near the end, when Syndrome is about to escape and boasts to Mr. Incredible that he will eventually kidnap Jack-Jack, he has no qualms about ending the threat right then and there by throwing his car at Syndrome's plane, knocking him into a jet turbine, killing him for good.
• Religious Bruiser: He was married in a Christian ceremony.
• Retired Badass: Zig-zagged. Enforced by the Super Relocation Act, though averted at the end of the sequel when the Act is revoked.
• Smarter Than You Look: You'd expect him to be the Dumb Muscle. You'd be wrong.
• Super Senses: Although we only see it once in the movie.
• Super Strength
• Team Dad
• Top-Heavy Guy
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: In the first act, he coldly rejected Buddy's offer to be his Kid Sidekick, and then saved his life when his rocket boots went out of control. It technically makes him indirectly responsible for the deaths of dozens of Supers.
• World's Strongest Man: Mr. Incredible is Nigh-Invulnerable and is the strongest Super in the franchise. 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 his NSA profile 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 for his family being seemingly killed. Subverted in the second film, as once he's attacked by a hypnotised Elastigirl, he avoids engaging in the confrontation, mainly to not hurt or kill her. Justified, given how that's his wife.

Helen Parr/Elastigirl

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

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Ace Pilot: Elastigirl is an accomplished pilot as shown by how expertly she pilots the plane to evade Syndrome's oncoming missiles. In the sequel, she takes over a helicopter to get the ambassador safe.
• Action Girl: Sums it up well in the intro, "Girls, come on. Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so. I don't think so". She backs these words up from halfway through the first film onwards.
• Action Mom: Fights crime and looks after three children.
• All Amazons Want Hercules: Developed strong feelings for Mr. Incredible in the Glory Days, and promptly got married.
• Badass:
  • Badass Abnormal
  • Retired Badass: For a while.
• Battle Couple: With Bob.
• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: The Brawn to Mirage's Beauty and Violet's Brains.
• Deadpan Snarker
• Fan Service Pack: Elastigirl was redesigned to be more buxom and toned in the sequel.
• Fiery Redhead: Has auburn hair and is capable of being significantly impulsive.
• Happily Married
• Hartman Hips: Sports a large posterior. At first, she seems embarrassed at its size, but following the door sequence she seems to become proud of it.
• Home, Sweet Home: Is content with being a stay-at-home mum after Supers are banned, contrasting from her husband who finds excuses to do clandestine superhero work.
• Hot Mom
• In Harm's Way: During the Glory Days, she didn't want to settle down, wanting to prove that female Supers can help the male ones save the world. Mr. Incredible was the one that wanted to settle down, but this becomes inverted after Supers are banned.
• Jiggle Physics: Being the first Pixar woman with a large bust, her breasts noticeably shake.
• Logical Weakness: As revealed in the sequel, she can't use her stretching powers in extremely cold environments else she'll break, which is exploited by Evelyn when she gives her monologue. Also, while elastic, she isn't made of rubber and is briefly put on the ropes when a cattle prod is used against her by Screenslaver in that same film.
• Made of Indestructium: The suit Edna made for her is emphasised 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, her butt being put on main display. This gets far more attention in the second film.
• Mama Bear: She is unsurprisingly very protective of her children. When their plane is hit by missiles, she makes sure to completely shield Violet and Dash with her body just before it explodes.
• Ms. Fanservice
• Red Headed Heroine
• Retired Badass: Zig-Zagged. Enforced by the Super Relocation Act, though averted at the end of the sequel when the Act is revoked.
• Rubber Woman: Her powers include shapeshifting, size-altering and stretching.
• She's Got Legs: Of the long and thick-set variant.
• Sizeshifter: Her elastic powers have the capability to let her change into various physical sizes. For example, she turns herself into an improvised parachute to save her son, Jack-Jack.
• Static Character: This is due to her being the only member of the main cast who copes well with normalcy.
• Super Senses: At the very least she can detect very small objects from across the room (very small as in "crumb of rubble from Bob's latest escapade").
• Team Mom: For the Parrs. 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.
• Thigh-High Boots: Part of her superhero costume.
• Weight Woe: Is definitely not fond of the extra weight she's accumulated since Supers were banned, which becomes harder to ignore when she begins wearing a skintight supersuit again.
• Women Are Wiser: She copes with normalcy better than Bob does. It also helps that she doesn't have a soul-crushing job.

Violet

Voiced by: Sarah Vowell

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.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Action Girl: From midway through the first film onwards, as her confidence grows. By the sequel she's become a more confident fighter and more creative in the ways she uses her force-fields.
• A Day in the Limelight: Several spinoff books and comics tend to feature Violet more prominently due to her being the oldest child of the Parr family and being seen as next in-line to carry her family's legacy. There are publications that feature her as the main or a co-main character.
• 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: In the first half 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:
  • Badass Abnormal: Is a member of the Supers race.
  • Badass Adorable: Is a very cute teenager who can generate energy shields from her hands and can turn invisible.
  • Badass Bookworm: She reads a lot and does cursive writing in her diary. Violet has been shown to be very intelligent, shown when she suggested to fly a rocket from Nomanisan Island by using the coordinates from the last launch. She also used a force field to escape from her electrical bonds that Syndrome kept her and her family in, and was easily able to deactivate their restraints.
  • Little Miss Badass: Develops into one over the second half of the first film, emotionally and physically. She saves Dash twice in the first film, and has several moments in the second. She can hold her own in a fight, which she proves in the second film by taking down a hypnotised Voyd, a fully grown woman.
  • Took a Level In Badass: It takes her a little while to fully master her powers and realise their full potential. Her powers are influenced by her mood and mental state, which meant she was much less powerful before she overcame her Shrinking Violet status.
• Barrier Warrior: Generating force fields is one of Violet's two core powers, and she improves her proficiency over the course of the series.
• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: The Brains to Mirage's Beauty and Helen's Brawn.
• Berserk Button: Dash insulting her about being shy to Tony Rydinger.
• Big Eater: Averted in the first film where there would be times she wouldn't eat. In the second film however, she ate a whole tub of ice cream upon finding out Tony stood her up on her date (she only does this when she's going through teenage problems). She also has an appetite for drive-in food, revealed when Bob takes her to the Happy Platter restaurant.
• Big Sister Instinct: A prime example is diving in front of Dash with a force field to save him. She is also very protective of Jack-Jack.
• Bratty Teenage Daughter: Acts a bit like this at the beginning, but she gets over it.
• Brother-Sister Team: With Dash.
• Calling the Old Man Out: Tells off her dad violently when he let slip that he arranged for Tony's memory of her to be wiped.
• Character Development: She goes from resenting being a Super to embracing it. In the ending, she goes from being shy to being outgoing and much happier.
• In the second film, she initially hated minding Jack-Jack when on hero duty, but at the climax, was willing to.
• Color Motif: Purple, reflected in her name. Her clothing, post and pre-character development, prominently feature purple. Her eyes are bluish-purple and her force fields have a purple tinge to them. When the colours old supersuits of her parents are mixed, it 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. Said force fields can also be used in a variety of scenarios, and come in different shapes.
• Comfort Food: Hers is ice cream (specifically Rocky Road), which she eats a whole container of off-screen after Tony stands her up due to his memory wipe, confirming Big Eater tendencies do run in the family, though only when Violet's going through teenage problems. It's also implied drive-in food is also one for Violet as well when Bob reveals the family has got it 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.
• Cute Bookworm: She is highly intelligent and easy on the eyes.
• The Cutie: When she's happy and in control of herself and not going through teenage problems. She becomes even cuter by the second film thanks to the 14-year advancement in technology.
• 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 mum.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: Violet is an introverted emo teen to start off with, being not only shy around Tony but also rather closed off towards her family (and quite hostile towards Dash). After she is given a pep talk from her mother, she develops a much greater sense of self-esteem, starts to enjoy having superpowers, becomes friendlier and more forthcoming towards her family and is eventually confident enough to talk to Tony. She refreezes in the second film when Tony forgets who she is, but defrosts eventually, even forgiving her father for accidentally interfering with her relationship with Tony.
• Didn't Think This Through: This happens to Violet in the beginning of the second film during the Underminer fight. She throws her mask down in anger over having to watch Jack-Jack, completely unaware that her crush Tony was nearby and overheard her. He checks out who it is, and sees her, causing her identity to be revealed. Tony gets Laser-Guided Amnesia and misses their Friday night date, which is more or less Violet's fault.
• Dub Name Change: Her name is "Violetta" in the German dub, which is very close to her name in German.
• Easily Embarrassed Youngster: Initially, she was very easily embarrassed, but 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 through the middle segment, but then went away again when she realised her powers were needed.
• 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 of herself in using her powers than the rest of her family.
• Exhausted Eye Bags: She has these for all of the first film, probably to complete the 'introverted emo teen' look. They last well through the second film, where she has to deal with Tony's memory of her being wiped, which wouldn't help with disposing of said eye bags. They seem to reduce as she gets back into superhero work and reintroduced herself to Tony.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: Violet spends the first half of the first movie with her hair obscuring half of her face. After an encouraging talk from her mum and realising 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. Once these issues are solved, it returns to what it looked like at the start of the film.
• Fan Service Pack: Violet has slightly wider hips, longer hair and an improved design in the sequel.
• Fashionable Asymmetry: Her hair is parted to the left. This likely contributed to Tony being attracted to her after her Adrenaline Makeover.
• Fatal Flaw: In the first film it is her being insecure and lacking confidence that contributes to her shyness, and lacking self-esteem. This renders he unable to produce a force field large enough to protect the plane when missiles are homing in, forcing her mother to protect her and Dash. She gains confidence at the end of the film however and grows beyond this. By the sequel, she gains a new one in the form of being irresponsible regarding super-heroics (in this case being forced to watch Jack-Jack and removing her domino mask in public), which causes her issues throughout the film that lead to Disaster Dominoes, including nearly losing Tony for good.
• 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. This fades away by the second film as Violet voices her full support for her mum to get the law repealed which she succeeds at, despite briefly quitting being a Super over the Tony incident.
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: For the most part, the responsible (doesn't get into trouble at school) to Dash's foolish (uses his super-speed to play a prank on his teacher). For the first two acts of the second film, it is somewhat flipped as Violet reveals her identity to Tony by accident due to her anger at being forced to stay behind, not wanting to be the one to take care of Jack-Jack. Meanwhile, Dash shows responsibility by protecting the perimeter to keep civilians safe and even saves an old lady. Onboard the Everjust, Violet immediately gives Dash the responsibility of protecting Jack-Jack while she goes off alone to find her parents. After the end of that movie, Violet finally decides to take that responsibility far more seriously and keeps Jack-Jack safe in the worst case scenario when the EverJust is on the verge of crashing into the city while now keeping her secret heroic identity safe from Tony, showing her regaining her more responsible traits.
• 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.
• Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Her purple-themed clothing and powers clearly prove that her own name has a lot of meaning. Also shown in her clothing.
• Hair Decorations: Violet starts wearing an orange headband with her supersuit to keep her long hair out of her face, brought on by her mom's pep talk bringing about Character Development and an Adrenaline Makeover. She also starts wearing pink and purple ones when not in her supersuit, making her look more attractive and even catching the eye of her crush Tony Rydinger.
• Hartman Hips: A teen-size skinnier version. Her hips are wide as her shoulders, with her torso being even thinner.
• 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 of Supers once she suspects her parents are in danger.
• Hiding Behind Your Bangs: In the first half of the first film, her hair covers half of her face, symbolising her shyness. As she gains more confidence in herself, she has gotten rid of it so her whole face is visible.
• 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 . Justified in that this is a world of superheroes and Violet's appearance could have changed as her powers manifested. However in terms of body size, Violet takes after her mother, currently a skinnier version, implying her mom's genes are going to be far more dominant once Violet eventually matures fully into an adult.
• 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 first 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: At first, envying Jack-Jack's apparent lack of powers. Grows out of it later in the first movie, accepting and embracing her status as a Super.
• In-Series Nickname: She is sometimes called 'Vi'.
• Invisible Streaker: She can't turn her normal clothing invisible. However, her super suit fixes it. A deleted scene involved her stripping naked at The Happy Platter to catch a robber, but was cut for specifically this reason.
• Kid Hero: She's 14 and is a Super. She becomes a proper superhero by the end of the second film.
• Long Hair Is Feminine: Has waist-length black hair and is a Nice Girl.
• Meaningful Name: She was initially a Shrinking Violet. Moreover, her force fields, clothing, and even purple tinge in her hair and eyes.
• Noodle People: She is very skinny, with her head being wider than her entire torso, not to mention her limbs, though at least they have a bit of muscle tone.
• Peek-a-Bangs: At the beginning. As she gains more confidence in herself, she has gotten rid of it so we see BOTH her eyes.
• Pink Means Feminine: Pink features heavily in Violet's civilian clothing and hair accessories, in addition to the obvious purple motif. This is part of her Adrenaline Makeover after her Character Development which occurred on Nomanisan Island.
• Purple Eyes: Violet has bluish-purple eyes that can appear mostly purple depending on the lighting.
• Purple Is Powerful: Evident with her name and force fields. Complimented by her clothing, and even hair and eyes if one looks closely enough.
• The Quiet One: Among the Parrs.
• Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: She has black hair, fair skin, and rosy cheeks. Tony notices her changed appearance and refers to her as 'cute' at the start of the sequel.
• Relationship Reset Button: After finally being able to talk to Tony, Incredibles 2 starts with him unfortunately seeing her without her mask. Hoping to correct the Bob asks Rick Dicker to wipe Tony 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.
• She Cleans Up Nicely: She initially preferred to hide behind her long, dark hair and wore dark clothing, being very shy. After her Character Development, she started to hold her hair back with a pink or purple hairband (orange with her supersuit), and wears much brighter clothing, resulting in her looking much more attractive than before, enough so that her crush Tony notices. The sequel's improved animation quality further helps with this, giving her longer hair, a more attractive face and slightly wider hips.
• She's Got Legs: Has long legs like her mother, but are slim in comparison.
• Shiny Midnight Black
• Shrinking Violet: Grows out of it somewhat, still being an introvert but showing more emotion and being more outgoing since the events that occurred on Nomanisan Island.
• Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy: She has a crush on Tony Rydinger, a popular student at their middle school. After Tony's memory wipe, they finally get together at the end of the sequel.
• Stone Wall: Played straight in the first film but subverted in the sequel since her force fields can be used to attack enemies.
• 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.
• Thigh-High Boots: Part of her superhero costume.
• Took a Level in Badass: Her powers are influenced by her mood and mental state. As a result, she's not very powerful initially as a Shrinking Violet. 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. The sequel demonstrates that Violet has learned to use her force fields in different ways. She is also shown to be a very good split-second decision taker in combat and was able to guide her brothers for a rescue mission to save their parents, which enables them all to foil Evelyn's scheme.
• Took a Level in Cheerfulness: Violet starts out massively introverted and socially reserved, too shy to speak to a boy she likes. After embracing her superpowers to thwart the villainous Syndrome, Violet emerges from her cocoon, displays more confidence and interacts more with others.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Starts out as distant to her family, and is particularly antagonistic to Dash, but really steps up to the plate over the course of the first film. In the second film, 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 second film, she has developed quite a sardonic wit.
• Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World: She is an effective superhero but dealing with her crush Tony is the most difficult issue for her. She still has to attend school like all her peers, but has the added difficulty of dealing with a boy she likes whose memory of her was wiped.
• Who Wears Short Shorts?: Violet is shown wearing them in a promotional poster for the sequel.
• Women Are Wiser: Violet is generally more thoughtful and level-headed than Dash, except when she runs into issues regarding her crush Tony. She notices when their parents in trouble, and takes the lead when they aren't around, though it helps being the eldest child.

Dash

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

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Aloof Big Brother: He doesn't spend any time with Jack-Jack in the first movie, and in the second, he is hesitant to spend time 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:
  • Badass Abnormal: Is a member of the Supers race.
  • Badass Adorable: As a precocious and mischievous ten year old, he has the adorable down pat. While he is still inexperienced and unskilled in using of his powers, he has the highest kill count of his family while on the island as he lures mook after mook into crashing their velocipods.
• Big Brother Instinct: To Jack-Jack, and an inverted small brother instinct to protect Violet.

Dash: Don't! Touch! My! Sister!!!

• 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 second film, he quickly consumes his veggies in one sitting.
• Black Sheep: Easily the most troublemaking member of the Parr family. Not even his younger brother Jack-Jack is as inherently troublesome as he is.
• Borrowed Catchphrase: Dash starts emulating his dad's "yeah, baby!" in the sequel.
• Brother-Sister Team: With Violet.
• Character Development: His compulsive and competitive nature is why he isn't allowed to compete in sports for most of the first film. To use his powers, 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 to be allowed to participate in a sprinting race, but had to get second place on purpose to not expose his family's identity. In the sequel, he still retains his status as the "problem child", though he has matured enough to take school more seriously and be a good older brother to Jack-Jack.
• Cute Bruiser: Throwing punches at super speed certainly makes him one.
• 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 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 realises in the office that he was caught by a hidden camera) shows that he's mischievous, rebellious, immature and reckless, and that he takes pride in having powers like his father does.
• 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 blonde hair, and evolves into an altruistic superhero.
• 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. He eventually joins Violet and Jack-Jack in leading a rescue for their parents.
• In-Series Nickname: "Dash" is short for his full first name "Dashiell". Frozone calls him "Speedo", and in the French dub, his birth name is Roger, but everyone (even people unaware of his powers) call him "Fléche". This translates to "arrow", referencing his super speed.
• Keet: His main power is super speed and he gushes about "cool outfits". He can hyperactive and boisterous at times.
• Kid Hero: School age super speedster.
• Lovable Jock: He has an affinity for athleticism and sports, and is also a dedicated superhero.
• Meaningful Name: Guess what super power Dash has.
• 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 competing in sprinting, but must get second place on purpose to hide his powers.
• Out of Focus: In the second film. Despite having roughly the same screen time as in the first film, he has no new story arc, with the other two children getting more development.
• Plucky Comic Relief: He is the funniest member of the family and gets all the funny moments in the film.
• Punctuated Pounding: When saving Violet from one of Syndrome's Mooks:

Dash: Don't! Touch! My! Sister!!!

• Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: He can pull this off with super speed, although given his small stature, the victim shrugs it off both of the times he's tried it.
• Second Place Is for Winners: Since he could be at risk of exposing his powers if he won track races, he always goes out of his way to get a "close second." He even has a collection of second-place trophies.
• Smug Super: He shows signs of becoming one, already being pretty smug about his speed.
• 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: His main power, which enables him to pull pranks in class without being seen on camera, and 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 expose his Super Speed. By the end of the movie, however, Dash's super-heroics leave him feeling accomplished enough to wilfully restrain himself to taking second place in a sprinting race.
• Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World: He finds great joy in being a superhero and takes to it well, but he is nowhere near as enthusiastic about school, getting into trouble for pranking Mr. Kropp. He is also frustrated by not being allowed to compete in sports.
• Walk on Water: Not one of his natural powers, but he can run fast enough to run on water. 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 second film.

Jack-Jack

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

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Ascended Extra: In the sequel and in the short for both films.
• The Baby of the Bunch: Literally, since Jack-Jack is less than two years old.
• Badass:
  • Badass Abnormal
  • Badass Adorable: When he's not using his terrifyingly potent powers.
  • Badass in Distress: You shouldn't have kidnapped him, Syndrome.
• Berserk Button: When he is denied a cookie, he turns into his monster form.
• The Berserker: When provoked, his fire and monster forms (especially when combined) are terrifying.
• Beware the Nice Ones
• Big Sister Worship: Jack-Jack adores Violet, who he looks up to as a protector, which is demonstrated when he looks affectionately at Violet after she saves him in the Incredicoaster pre-ride show.
• Brainy Baby: Makes several smart observations, such as comparing a raccoon to a burglar on TV, as well as seeing the other Supers taking hypno-goggles off of the hypnotised Supers and doing the same.
• Combo-Platter Powers
• Equippable Ally: Can be held to aim at enemies with his eye laser beams.
• Eye Beams: One of his powers.
• Goo-Goo Godlike: The sequel shows that has as many as 17 different powers, a few of which can be considered god-like.
• Heroic Lineage: In the second film, his Establishing Character Moment has him watching a movie involving a Blatant Burglar. He then notices a raccoon digging through the trash can outside and draws a comparison between it and the bad guy on screen, where he then uses his powers to drive it off. Additionally, being the youngest child of Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, he has inherited his father's Super Strength and his mother's ability to alter her physical size.
• The Hyena: A cheerful child, he tends to giggle whenever he unleashes a new power, or when he induces panic 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.
• Innocent Blue Eyes: A typically well-disposed baby who possesses blue eyes.
• Innocently Insensitive: As a baby, he doesn't understand the trouble he causes with his superpowers and thinks it's just a fun game.
• In-Series Nickname: 'Jack-Jack' is a nickname for John Jackson Parr, his full name.
• Intangibility: He is able to manifest a form of molecular vibration that enables him to dislodge grips, remove items placed on him or phase through solid objects.
• Killer Rabbit: An adorable baby that has as many as 17 powers, several of which can be lethal.
• Made of Iron: Not counting when he literally turns into metal, 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 injuries.
• Magic Pants: His diaper.
• Muggle Born of Mages: Subverted. Despite hailing from a family of Supers, Jack-Jack doesn't appear to have any powers of his own for most of the the first film. 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 for the first film, even though he does not go on any adventures. He does, however, play a major role in the sequel.
• Repetitive Name: His first name, even though his full name is John Jackson Parr.
• Self-Duplication: During the raccoon fight, he is shown splitting himself into multiple clones. He does it again just after the superyacht is stopped, surprising his mother.
• Shock and Awe: Jack-Jack can emit 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.
• Superpower Lottery: Jack-Jack is a polymorph who can manipulate his body on a molecular level. Therefore, all of his powers are a manifestation of a single ability he hasn't learned to control yet. If and when he does master this ability, Jack-Jack would arguably be one of the most versatile and powerful Supers on the planet.
• Super Smoke: During a montage in Auntie Edna, he demonstrated being able to become intangible smoke.
• Super-Strength: During his fight with Rocky, he demonstrates strength far beyond that of a normal baby. This was likely a result of his father, who has this as his main power.
• Sweet Tooth: He has a fondness for sweets and cookies.
• 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 whenever he's denied one, he shape-shifts into his monster form and goes into a 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. For example, he tends to teleport into the air and fall to the ground. 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: Edna describes him as a "polymorph" and thus all of his powers are the result of his ability to manipulate his body on the molecular level.
• Walking Spoiler: He gets a little screen time, and its clear that everyone believes he doesn't have superpowers. It turns out he does, which is the spoiler. It is a Late Arrival Spoiler by the time the sequel was released.
• Wall Crawl: It's unclear whether he can physically stick to the wall or is levitating himself to crawl along the wall.
• Wide-Eyed Idealist: Being a Cheerful Child, of course it's natural for him to be very optimistic, treating everyone with affection when he first meets them.
• Wreathed in Flames: Near the end of the first film, Jack-Jack shifts into an explosive, fiery form in an effort to break free from Syndrome's grasp.
• Youngest Child Wins: He's the youngest child of the Parr family and has more superpowers than the other four members combined, giving him the potential of becoming the most powerful in the family when he grows up.

Other Supers

Lucius Best/Frozone

Voiced by: Samuel L. Jackson (movies), Philip Lawrence (The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer)

The best friend and a close ally of Mr. Incredible and the Parr family. He has the ability to create ice and freeze surfaces by manipulating moisture.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• The Ace: Has some of the coolest ways to use his primary ability accordingly, such as speed, reflexes and defence.
• Badass:
  • Badass Abnormal
  • Retired Badass: For about 15 years, like Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl.
• Bald of Awesome: He's bald and a cool superhero with ice powers.
• Big, Thin, Short Trio: He's the Thin to Mr. Incredible's Big and Elastigirl's Short.
• Black Best Friend: For Bob.
• Deadpan Snarker: Primarily earlier in the first film, as later on in the first film, he's fighting for his life while badly out of condition. Returns in the second film.
• Didn't Want an Adventure: While waiting in the car with Bob, Lucius suggests going bowling, which is what they tell their wives they're doing. When Lucius shouts, "I WANTED TO GO BOWLING!", it's clear he regrets his secret superhero work with Bob.
• Elemental Baggage: Frozone needs enough moisture available around him to make ice. Usually it's not much of a problem, but he can run out of ice in situations such as in a burning building.
• Elemental Speed: Frozone can use his powers to create ice ramps that he can skate and slide on to get around quickly.
• Fire/Ice Duo: Frozone Blazestone were briefly a couple.
• An Ice Person: Generating ice is his main superpower. He also appears to be able to simply freeze things by touching them.
• I Know Madden Kombat: He uses moves similar to speed skating while creating ice paths in battle, and his supersuit is equipped with a pair of skates, as well as skis that can expand into a metal disc.
• Large Ham: His "Where's my supersuit?!" moment really does count.
• Never Heard That One Before: Says it in response to Mr. Incredible's "ICE of you to drop by" line.
• Papa Wolf: Fights with everything he's got when defending the Parr kids from the hypnotised Supers.
• Perma-Stubble: It is never confirms nor denies whether he ever shaves, but it's never more than stubble with him.
• Personality Powers: The cool and collected Frozone has ice powers.
• Plucky Comic Relief: He, along with Dash, is associated with a lot of the funniest scenes in the films.
• Power Stereotype Flip: Ice-themed superheroes tend to be on the slower side. Frozone is fast, as his costume and skillset takes cues from winter sportsmen such as speed skaters.
• Retired Badass: Zig-zagged. Enforced by the Super Relocation Act, though averted at the end of the sequel when the Act is revoked.
• Ride The Lightning: Ice instead of lightning in this case. Frozone can skate on ice to get somewhere fast or to reach a high place.
• Running Gag: He's repeatedly put into situations where he has to slow down a huge oncoming threat, such as the Omnidroid v.10, a train, or a ship. This is bucked in the climax of the second movie when he helps stop the EverJust from crashing into the city.
• Serendipitous Survival: Mirage recognising Bob as Mr. Incredible saved Frozone from being invited to Nomanisan Island, being the Omnidroid's initial next target.
• Shoo Out the Clowns: A temporary variant. He spends most of the movie absent while staying home after his vigilante night with Bob. He does not return until the climax of the film, where joins the Parrs to fight the Omnidroid v.10.
• Sixth Ranger: Frozone is the closest associate of the Incredibles out of the Supers. Keeping with their family dynamic, he's viewed as something of an honorary uncle.
• Squishy Wizard: He's experienced enough to put his ice powers to use in all kinds of ways, but he's physically not much more strong or durable than the average human. If his performance against the Omnidroid v.10 is any indication, it's very fortunate for him that Mirage changed targets and made Mr. Incredible fight the v.8 instead as he actually has the strength and durability to trade blows with it, whereas Frozone would only temporarily slow it down. In the second film, he puts up a pretty good fight against the mind-controlled DEVTECH Supers with his powers, but as soon as Brick gets her hands on him, he gets hypnotised.
• Superhero: The most prominent aside from the Incredibles.
• Super Sliding: When there's plenty of moisture for him to work with, he can create pathways of ice that he can skate across to rapidly traverse long distances.
• Token Black Friend: To Mr. Incredible. The only speaking Black character in the first film, he's a great source of emotional support to the Parrs, but only as a supporting character.
• Too Qualified to Apply: Frozone was barred from competing in the Winter Olympics on account of his Super abilities granting him a tremendously unfair advantage.

Simon J. Paladino/Gazerbeam

A Super who was generally known for having a rather dull personality and speaking in a monotonous tone. His superpower was being able to fire eye beams that he controlled with his visor.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Bat Signal: Winston's father had a direct phone line to Gazerbeam and Fironic.
• Chekhov's Gunman: He is one of the Supers in attendance at Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl's wedding. He also carved the password to Syndrome's computer into a cave wall on Nomanisan Island, which Mr. Incredible later used to discover Syndrome's Operation Kronos.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: A deleted scene reveals that once he became a hero, Gazerbeam really enjoyed helping others and being useful. When he was forced into retirement, he spent the rest of his life trying to get the law undone so that Supers like him could go back to helping people again.
• Expy: The combination of his costume and superpowers make him highly reminiscent of Cyclops from X-Men.
• Eye Beams: His core superpower, which are directed and amplified by his helmet and allow him to leave the message in the cave on Nomanisan Island.
• Glass Cannon: He could shoot laser beams out of his eyes, but was no more durable than a regular human, according to his NSA profile.
• Hero of Another Story: He was known as a long-time activist for Supers' rights as a civilian. He also discovered the password to Syndrome's computer before his death, and indirectly gave it to Mr. Incredible.
• Meaningful Name: Gazerbeam's civilian name is Simon J. Paladino. "Simon" means "he has heard" and "paladino" is Italian for "paladin", both referencing his role as not only a Super, but an active advocate for superhero rights in his civilian life.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Somehow, he was able to stumble upon enough of Syndrome's scheme to learn the password for his computer. When he was fatally wounded by the Omnidroid 5, he managed to live long enough to use his laser vision to carve it into a cave wall so that another Super would discover it later. He also destroyed the v.X4, the previous Omnidroid.

Fironic

A Super who has fire powers and the ability to fly. He is seen in a flashback in the second film, and his status is unknown.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Ascended Extra: Downplayed. Fironic gets a single mention (and not even a picture or a NSA file) in the first movie but gets a prominent flashback appearance in the second (albeit unvoiced) as a friend of Winston and Evelyn's parents.
• Bat Signal: Winston's father had a direct phone line to Fironic and Gazerbeam.
• Shown Their Work: In the first movie, a passerby mistakes Syndrome for Fironic since he was flying, but another intervenes and states Fironic has a different outfit. Come his flashback appearance in the second film, and their outfits do indeed look similar, adding to why Syndrome was mistaken for him.

Karen Fields/Voyd

Voiced by: Sophia Bush

A wannabe Super brought in by Winston Deavor and a huge fan of Elastigirl. Her superpower is creating portals.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Ascended Fangirl: She regards Elastigirl as her hero, and helps her defeat Evelyn near the end.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Downplayed. While her past is not explored, 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.
• Good Counterpart: To Buddy Pine/Syndrome. Both characters have established themselves as superhero fans, particularly of one Super, and even aspired to become ones themselves. Unlike Syndrome, however, whose super-heroic desires were really just for him to literally show himself off in front of others, Voyd actually does want to help others from the bottom of her heart. They also heavily contrast with each other in that unlike Voyd, Syndrome was not a Super.
• The Knights Who Say Squee: She's a superhero herself and quite combat-capable, but she still sees Elastigirl as her hero and gets quite nervous when talking to her. This even extends to her idol's own daughter Violet who likewise takes a shine to the young Super.
• Nervous Wreck: At least when interacting with Elastigirl, who she looks up to. She's nearly as nervous around Elastigirl's daughter Violet, who has similar anxiety issues to Voyd, simply because Violet is her idol's daughter.
• Nice Girl: Is a friendly, if slightly awkward young woman.
• Non-Standard Character Design: While most women in the films have round faces and profound hips (or in Violet's and Mirage's case, being very skinny Noodle People), Voyd has an angular face and more proportional shoulders to waist, inverting the media's prevailing trope of Masculine Lines, Feminine Curves. Her side-mullet is also a more modern hairstyle than the 50s-60s-esque fashion of the setting.
• She's Got Legs: Has rather muscular legs compared to the rest of the female cast.
• Squishy Wizard: Her powers are very useful, but she is physically a normal human. Even waifish Violet is able to kick her off when a hypnotised Voyd tries to force hypno-goggles on her and makes Voyd pay for it with a good but tough beat down. When Elastigirl confronts her, she doesn't put up nearly as much resistance as the pizza guy, who was the fake Screenslaver.
• Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors: Her powers are effective against Violet's defensive force fields since Violet usually leaves the area she's standing on unprotected, and Voyd can create portals within the forcefield on that patch of ground. But once Violet uses her force fields offensively while invisible, Voyd is taken down after a tough fight thanks to her Squishy Wizard status.
• Thinking Up Portals: Has the power to create portals through space and she is shown to be very creative in using them.
• Xtreme Kool Letterz: Her name is spelled with a "y" instead of an "i".

Concretia "Connie" Mason/Brick

Voiced by: Deirdre Warin

One of the wannabe Supers, Brick is super strong and can also expand to the size and strength of a brick wall on command. She is from Wisconsin and has severely limited verbal skills.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Brawn Hilda: She is a giant, brawny woman who has super strength and invulnerability powers.
• Gentle Giant: She is good-natured and soft-spoken, despite her size, when not wearing hypno-goggles.
• Heroic Build: Brick has a massive torso and arms.
• Mighty Glacier: Has super strength and invulnerability, but limited moving speed.
• Nice Girl: Is friendly with others when not hypnotised, and is grateful to Elastigirl for trying to get Supers to be made legal again so they can do good in the world. Helps save everyone when un-hypnotised.
• Non-Standard Character Design: Massive torso and hands, and very long arms.
• Top-Heavy Girl: She has a similar build to Mr. Incredible.
• Two Girls to a Team: Along with Voyd, out of the six wannabe Supers.
• What the Hell Is That Accent?: Her accent sounds East European, but she says she is from Wisconsin.

Blitz Wagner/Krushauer

Voiced by: Phil LaMarr

One of the wannabe Supers, Krushauer is able to use telekinesis to crush anything using his mind, though he cannot "un-crush". He has a similar build to Mr. Incredible, and has super strength and durability.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• All There in the Script: Krushauer doesn't give his name to Elastigirl when they meet, and it is never said on screen, only appearing in the end credits.
• Crippling Overspecialization: Krushauer is a telekinetic who uses his powers to "crush" things exclusively. It seems that he is unable to "un-crush" things, and says it would be silly to do so.
• Glass Cannon: Krushauer only uses his telekinesis to crush things. He hasn't even considered any other application of his power so he lacks any defensive ability.
• Mind over Matter: Krushauer's power is to crush things with his mind.
• Nice Guy: Is friendly with others when not hypnotised, and is grateful to Elastigirl for trying to get Supers to be made legal again so they can do good in the world. Helps save everyone when un-hypnotised.
• Non-Standard Character Design: Massive torso and hands, and very long arms.
• Scary Black Man: When he's under the Evelyn's control, Krushauer is indeed scary when he looms over and tries to crush someone, which he nearly does to the Parr kids.
• Unskilled but Strong: Is inexperienced in using his powers or adapting to changing situations in a fight, allowing the more experienced Mr. Incredible to defeat him. His crushing power is also unrefined, being unable to "un-crush".
• Xtreme Kool Letterz: Included in his superhero name.

Strig Tyton/Screech

Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker

One of the wannabe Supers, Screech's powers and appearance resemble that of an owl. His powers include flight, night vision, a sonic screech, and a head that rotates 360 degrees.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Amazing Technicolor Population: He has grey skin, similar to some owls.
• Ambiguously Human: Has an owl-like appearance, befitting of his powers.
• Animal-Themed Superbeing: Screech is modelled after an owl, specifically a screech owl, befitting of his superhero name.
• Exorcist Head: Can turn his head 360º, like owls.
• Make Me Wanna Shout: One of his powers is to let out a high-pitched screech that can break glass.
• Nice Guy: Is friendly with others when not hypnotised, and is grateful to Elastigirl for trying to get Supers to be made legal again so they can do good in the world. Helps save everyone when un-hypnotised.

Tom Current/He-Lectrix

Voiced by: Phil LaMarr

One of the wannabe Supers, He-Lectrix is a stylish Super who can manipulate electricity. He can zap and charge objects electrically and shoot bolts of lightning from his hands.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Actor Allusion: Phil LaMarr has voiced a superhero with electric powers before, being Static from Static Shock.
• All There in the Script: He-Lectrix doesn't give his name to Elastigirl when they meet, and it is never said on screen, only appearing in the end credits.

• Shock and Awe: His powers.
• Xtreme Kool Letterz: Included in his superhero name.

Gus Burns/Reflux

Voiced by: Paul Eiding

One of the wannabe Supers, Reflux is a senior who has the unsettling super power of heaving hot lava, which helps him break into some of the most secure locales.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Cool Old Guy: Reflux is the oldest of the wannabe Supers and is a nice friendly guy. He is able to regurgitate magma.
• Glass Cannon: Reflux's ability to breathe magma is impressive but since he's a Miniature Senior Citizen, he goes down quickly.
• Magma Man: Reflux regurgitates magma, which he can use as a weapon or to break into difficult-to-breach places.
• Miniature Senior Citizen: Reflux is an elderly man and is the shortest member of the adult Supers.
• Non-Standard Character Design: Reflux has an exaggerated senior citizen body style. He has a very curved spine and extended pot-belly with a face that incorporates the design of a frog.
• Old Superhero: He has an elderly appearance.
• Super Spit: His ability to regurgitate magma.

Superheroes killed by the Omnidroids

---

• Accidental Pun: Stormicide addresses that her gaseous powers tend to make her the 'butt' of the joke. Cue laughing in the background as she realises how she worded this.
• The Ahnold: Universal Man speaks in an exaggerated parody of Arnold's accent.
• Ambiguous Gender: Macroburst, who is described as being "oddly androgynous". In addition, Dicker explains that the audio file was damaged and deemed unfit for presenting, so his voice is never heard. Averted in the LEGO game, in which Macroburst is revealed to be male.
• Anti-Hero: Gamma Jack, a Super supremacist who preferred rescuing attractive women but nevertheless fought the good fight. The NSA was monitoring him closely in case he dropped the 'hero' part.
• Blow You Away: Macroburst has the ability to control air currents, create high-velocity winds and fly as a result of wind propulsion.
• Boxed Crook: At some point before her career as a Super, Blazestone was arrested and jailed, before subsequently being recruited by the NSA. She was watched closely by the agency to ensure she operated within guidelines. Blazestone eventually returned to her criminal ways and defected.
• Deliberate Values Dissonance: In Psycwave's NSA audio file, she talks about using her powers to force breakups and essentially date-rape an unknown number of boys as if it's nothing more than harmless fun. Gamma Jack probably wasn't the only Super the NSA should have been keeping an extra eye on for signs of super-villainy.
• Fire/Ice Duo: Blazestone and Frozone were briefly a couple.
• Ironic Allergy: Not an allergy per se, but a medical condition, which may or may not have been caused by his super-scream powers. Despite having a voice that could generate shockwaves, he had laryngitis.
• Irony: Universal Man was listed on his NSA file as being one of the most indestructible Supers, yet was killed by the Omnidroid v.X1, the first one built by Syndrome.
• It's All About Me: Phylange is said to "demand respect he doesn't earn", and left his superhero team seemingly because he felt like he should have gotten more attention. He never caught on after he went solo, however.
• Motor Mouth: Blazestone, evidenced by her NSA file. She attributes it to confusing what dimension she's in.
• Narcissist: According to his NSA file, Gamma Jack comes across as incredibly self-centred, vain and boastful.
• Picky Eater: According to his NSA file, Gamma Jack was a picky eater.
• Playing with Fire: Blazestone's power set is centred around this.
• Power Perversion Potential: In Psycwave's NSA file, she admits to using her mental manipulation powers to make cute boys in her high school dump their girlfriends and go out with her.
• The Prima Donna: Hypershock stops his NSA interview halfway through to berate and make demands of the interview crew.
• Shout-Out: Universal Man's The Ahnold accent references Arnold Schwarzenegger's nickname being "Mr. Universe".
• Smart People Speak the Queen's English: Everseer is the only Super heard with a distinctly posh British accent, and his Intelligence stat in his NSA file is completely maxed out.
• Super Supremacist: Gamma Jack's NSA file states that he believes that Supers are a "superior race".
• Terrified of Germs: Everseer's ability to see microscopic organisms left him with a crippling fear of germs.
• Vibration Manipulation: According to Hypershock's NSA file, he had the ability to generate seismic waves which registered as 6 on the Richter scale.

Superheroes killed by their capes

---

• Chekhov's Gun: These guys died when their capes snagged on things. Guess how Syndrome dies?
• Cloudcuckoolander: Stratogale's file notes that she "keeps her head in the clouds". It definitely alludes to her personality.
• Combo-Platter Powers: Meta Man has more than half the number of Jack-Jack's powers.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: All Supers in the category share this trait.
• Deconstructed Trope: These guys serve to deconstruct the Badass Cape.
• The Ditherer: Meta Man is noted to be indecisive in his NSA file.
• Dumb Muscle: Thunderhead has enhanced strength, but is noted by Bob as being dim.
• Flight: Stratogale has this power.
• Friend to All Children: Thunderhead, apparently.
• Shock and Awe: One of Thunderhead's powers is storm manipulation.
• Shrine to the Fallen: Winston's father raised money for a statue of Dynaguy.
• Sickening Crunch: Heard when Dynaguy suffers his Cape Snag, heavily implied to be a Neck Snap.
• Speaks Fluent Animal: Stratogale can communicate with birds.
• Superman Substitute: Meta Man, including the costume, powers, name and overall description.
• Super Wrist Gadget: Dynaguy's arm-mounted rocket boosters.
• Weather Manipulation: Thunderhead has the ability to harness and control extreme weather conditions.

Villains

Syndrome/Buddy Pine

Voiced by: Jason Lee

A self-proclaimed Super who was rejected as a kid by Mr. Incredible, leading to him setting out on wiping out Supers and selling his technology to everyone so the term 'Super' is rendered obsolete.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Actually a Doombot: Inverted. In all appearances outside of the movie, Syndrome is portrayed by a robot since he died at the end of the movie. It is unclear why this applies to only him and none of the countless other villains in Disney media who died at the end of their movies.
• Adaptational Jerkass: Is even worse in the comic series.
• All for Nothing: His Engineered Heroics plan entirely failed thanks to his incompetence and narcissism as a pretend superhero, as well as the fact that the Incredibles and Frozone all came to truly save the day by defeating the Omnidroid v.10, resulting in his intended weaponry marketing being denied by the government.
  • To top it all off, he tried to capture Jack-Jack and make the baby his "sidekick" as retribution for his failed plan. This backfires as well, which then leads to his eventual demise.
• Anime Hair: His impossibly tall, onion-shaped hairstyle — inspired by Heat Miser — certainly fits. Taking his short temper and bombastic nature into account, its resemblance to a flame certainly fits just as well.
• Arch Enemy: He calls himself Mr. Incredible's nemesis. Bob returns the feeling when he learns that Syndrome killed his old friends in Operation Kronos and when Syndrome shot down a civilian airliner with his wife and children seemingly on board.
• Arms Dealer: He made his fortune by inventing, manufacturing, and selling weapons. As part of his Evil Plan, he also aims to sell even more of his inventions to a civilian market when he's retired from his superhero career, to make the concept of Supers obsolete.
• Ascended Fanboy: At the beginning of the film he wants to be "Incrediboy", Mr. Incredible's sidekick. Even as a supervillain, he constantly geeks out about aspects of his plan and Mr. Incredible in general, at least when not being sadistic.
• Attention Whore: Syndrome cares far more about being worshipped as a "superhero" rather than helping and saving others, which might have been his actual goal as a kid. His failure in stopping the Omnidroid v.10 is in part due to him focusing on introducing and parading himself to the public rather than on fighting the Omnidroid, giving it the perfect opportunity to deduce that he's using its remote against it, and shoots it off his arm while he wasn't looking.
• Ax Crazy: He has clearly become a sociopath after being rejected in his youth by Mr. Incredible, snapping and becoming the homicidal maniac he is in adulthood. He kills Super after Super to build the perfect Omnidroid to defeat Mr. Incredible. He unleashes the final product, the Omnidroid v.10, 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, only for it to completely backfire.
• Bad Boss: He doesn't value Mirage's life, evident when he gambled on her life when she was held hostage by Mr. Incredible.
• Badass:
  • Badass Bookworm: His genius intellect enables him to create all sorts of advanced technology.
  • Badass Cape: Subverted in that it ends up being the cause of his death.
  • Badass Normal: In spite of having no superpowers, Syndrome manages to defeat Supers using his vast intellect and array of gadgets. Even discounting him building a robot powerful enough to kill dozens of Supers, he near-effortlessly defeats the Parr family multiple times by immobilising them with his Zero-Point energy gloves and is only defeated in the end because he didn't anticipate Jack-Jack having powers and attacking him.
  • Took a Level In Badass: He wasn't so competent as a child.
• Baddie Flattery: Even though he openly calls himself Mr. Incredible's nemesis, he still compliments him at several points and fanboys over his tenacity.
• Believing Their Own Lies: When he reintroduces himself to Mr. Incredible, he claims that all he wanted to do as a kid was help his favourite superhero, but based on what he does in the prologue, his recollection couldn't be any more false. He never tried to help Mr. Incredible take down Bomb Voyage, he just wanted to show off the gear that he has made for himself, wanting to be seen as a hero rather than actually being one. In fact, his interference is what even allowed Bomb Voyage to get away. Refusing to see what he did wrong, Syndrome took his hero's rejection as him not wanting his so-called help and that he's the victim.
  • He sees himself as a real Super, telling Mr. Incredible that he's "real enough" to defeat him. He tries to sell this lie to the public, but fails when the Omnidroid v.10 realises that his remote controls it.
• Berserk Button: Being called "Buddy" or "Incrediboy". He sees those names as a relic of the time when he was just a fanboy of Mr. Incredible.
• Beyond Redemption: Ironically, the guy who has wanted to become a superhero since his youth is the same person who refuses to acknowledge his own mishaps, whether they're immoral or not. More seriously, Mr. Incredible initially apologises to Syndrome for his harsh (if necessary) treatment of him, but when he finds out Syndrome has systematically murdered dozens of superheroes, he holds him in contempt for the rest of the film and shows no hesitation in killing him. Even worse, Syndrome's Engineered Heroics plan would also involve culturally eradicating superheroism via selling his weapons to everyone.
• Big Bad: Of the first film.
• Big Bad Wannabe: Downplayed, since he is still the cause of the main conflict in the film. Syndrome is the mastermind behind Operation Kronos, which led to the murder of dozens of Supers and the creation of the Omnidroids, the final version being nigh-unstoppable. However, Syndrome is not nearly as smart and in control as he thinks he is. His Engineered Heroics plan fails without any interference or sabotage from the heroes as he is outsmarted, sidelined and indirectly knocked unconscious by his own creation before any Supers turn up. The heroes don't spend the climax stopping his plan as much as cleaning up the mess he made. Even when Syndrome tries to make a last ditch effort to kidnap Jack-Jack, he is quickly defeated and ultimately killed.
• Big No: Gives a quieter variant after he witnessed that the Incredibles and Frozone had saved the day by defeating the Omnidroid v.10.
• Bond Villain Stupidity: He blows several chances to kill Mr. Incredible and his family by gloating or simply restraining them, enabling them to escape. His showing off when pretending to defeat the Omnidroid v.10 gives the robot the perfect window to shoot the remote device out of his hand. It also never occurs to him that Mirage may not be trustworthy anymore after cruelly betting on her life and how furious she was about it. He doesn't take any measure to stop her from turning on him. This allows Mirage to help the Incredibles twice without suffering any retaliation from him and his men.
• Brilliant but Lazy: Zig-Zagged. Syndrome is an amazing scientist, and he does put effort in his engineering, constantly working on and improving his inventions such as his Omnidroids to make them suited to fight and kill superheroes. On the other hand, he put no effort into actual training to become an effective superhero, even telling Mr. Incredible that he doesn't need to train him while trying to become his sidekick since he knows all of his idol's powers and moves, and shows no fighting skills or experience outside of his gadgets. This backfires hard on him during his pretend battle against the Omnidroid v.10.
• Broken Pedestal: Buddy used to think very highly of Mr. Incredible, being in a fan club dedicated to him. He had photos with the Super and autographed memorabilia, and knew all his moves and catchphrases. However, when Mr. Incredible rebuffed him with "Fly home, Buddy. I work alone" ,Buddy comes to stop admiring Mr. Incredible and becomes Syndrome, his nemesis.
• Brought to You by The Letter "S":
  • In his youth as Incrediboy, his superhero logo merges the letters "i" and "b" together, both of which are in their lowercase forms.
  • As Syndrome, his supersuit bears a large "S", which he gets to amusingly lampshade when he appears in Jack-Jack Attack to kidnap Jack-Jack. He says it stand for "sitter", and says that he couldn't have "BS" (meaning baby-sitter) because of the obvious implications.
• Cape Snag: How he dies, with his cape being caught in his jet's turbine.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Announces outright to Mr. Incredible that he is his nemesis.
• Chekhov's Gunman: Early in the film, Buddy is last seen in a cop car about to be driven home, having been rejected by Mr. Incredible. He reappears well after the Time Skip as the Big Bad.
• The Chessmaster: Syndromes uses all the elements of his plan to fulfil his aims. He has his assistant Mirage, his Mooks, and lures Supers to Nomanisan Island to be killed by his Omnidroids.
• Child Prodigy: He's smart enough to have invented his own rocket boots when he was a pre-teen. Sadly, this means he very easily could have been a great hero — or at least, massively successful through selling them — in his own right using his talents, but chose not to in the pursuit of petty revenge.
• Complete Monster: By the end of the film, he's crossed the line into this.
• Dangerously Genre Savvy: This, more than all of his minions and weapons, is what's most threatening about him.
• Disproportionate Retribution
• Engineered Heroics: Pretends to be a Super to earn the public's admiration.
• Evil Genius: Evident with him being able to create a vast array of advanced technology, but uses them to wipe out Supers.
• Evil Laugh: Absolutely loves doing this, to both entertaining and bone-chilling effect.
• Evil Mentor: He plans to become one to Jack-Jack as a last attempt to spite Mr. Incredible.
• Evil Redhead: His orange flame-shaped hair befits his role as the Big Bad.
  • Fiery Redhead: His hair also reflects his short-tempered nature.
• Face Heel Turn: After Mr. Incredible rejected his assistance out of concern for his safety, Buddy Pine goes from wannabe superhero sidekick to genuine supervillain.
• Foil: To Bob. While Bob intends to help people as a Super, Syndrome does it for the fortune and recognition. While Bob never let his ego get too inflated, Syndrome did, putting him on the path to villainy.
• Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Buddy decided to turn against Supers because Mr. Incredible wouldn't take him on as his heroic sidekick. While Mr. Incredible felt bad at first that he indirectly played a part in Buddy becoming the supervillain Syndrome, he loses the sympathy he has for the villain once he learns that Syndrome killed countless Supers (many of which were Mr. Incredible’s friends) and nearly killed Mr. Incredible’s family, and instead calls Syndrome out on how petty he is for killing superheroes and putting innocents in danger just so he could pretend to be a hero.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: From an unknown Child Prodigy to a supervillain and mass murderer.
• Gadgeteer Genius
• Hero-Killer: Syndrome is responsible for the deaths of most named Supers, having invited them to his island to get killed by his Omnidroids in battle. Each Omnidroid that got destroyed was replaced by an updated model, and no hero was able to defeat two Omnidroids in one-on-one fights. His hatred for heroes aside, he needed his Omnidroid get stronger, so that nobody but Syndrome (with the remote control) can defeat it and he would gain all the glory.
• Hero Syndrome: One of the reasons he was given his supervillain name. The fame and glory of looking like a hero is what he wants most.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: The cape he chose to wear for his costume gets caught in the turbine of his plane and he's sucked into it.
• Hypocrite: He mentions that he has "outgrown" Mr. Incredible from being one of his ex-idol's biggest fans, but at the same time, he has become a Psychopathic Manchild who developed a petty grudge against Supers, all because Mr. Incredible reasonably turned down his sidekick offers in the past.
• I Just Want to Be Special: He could've started his own career as a Science Hero after being rejected by Mr. Incredible, but his Engineered Heroics scheme revolves around killing actual Supers out of pettiness so he could hog all of the glory to himself.
• I'm Your Biggest Fan: Says this word-for-word towards Mr. Incredible after the Omnidroid v.9 has him dead to rights. It's how Mr. Incredible instantly recognises that he's Buddy.
• Improbable Age: He couldn't be a lot older than 10 in the opening, by which point he was already inventing fully functional rocket boots. Cut to the main story 15 years later and Syndrome is now the owner of his own island, established a small terrorist organisation, constructed his own gadget-laden private jet, and developed a small legion of robots capable of killing legions of Supers. All at approximately age 25.
• Improbable Hairstyle: It stands straight up like a cone.
• Jerk Justifications: His reason for killing off numerous Supers, causing terrorism within Metroville, and capturing Jack-Jack? All because Mr. Incredible turned down his reckless heroic attempts when he was a kid.
• Jerkass: His sociopathy, gloating and crimes make it very evident.
• Karmic Death: Is killed when the car Mr. Incredible bought with the money he paid the Super is thrown into his plane while he's threatening to return to take his revenge on the Parrs.
• Kick the Dog: When a missile strike seemingly kills Mr. Incredible's wife and children, Syndrome says, "Oh, you'll get over it. I seem to recall you prefer to... work alone?".
• Kid Sidekick: What he tried to be as "Incrediboy". However, he completely lacked any training or experience, causing him to be much more of a liability than a helper, causing Mr. Incredible to lose his patience and reject him. He later tries to kidnap Jack-Jack with the intention of making the boy one as one last act of spite against Mr. Incredible.
• Killed Off for Real: When flying away with Jack-Jack, Mr. Incredible throws his own new car at him, causing his cape to be sucked towards a jet turbine.
• Knight of Cerebus: While not exactly upbeat, the movie certainly takes a darker turn when he shows up.
• Large Ham: He's quite fond of his Evil Gloating.
• Lack of Empathy:
  • Feels no remorse for killing hero after hero just so he can develop the perfect Omnidroid to defeat Mr. Incredible, and to serve his plans to pretend to be a superhero.
  • Hearing that the plane he just fired missiles upon has children aboard causes no emotional reaction or interest in aborting the missile attack.
  • After he apparently kills Elastigirl and the children, he taunts Mr. Incredible about it, telling him that he'll get over it since he always said that he prefers to "work alone".
  • His idea of comforting Mirage after she was taken hostage was to assure her that he called Mr. Incredible's bluff because he knew that the latter was "weak" and wouldn't have it in him to kill her. He's surprised and confused when she gets mad at him for it.
  • When pretending to be a new superhero, he saves a mother and her baby from a gas truck thrown by the Omnidroid v.10, only to carelessly fling it behind him as he's busy parading himself before the people. Nobody was caught in the tanker's explosion fortunately, but it shows his flagrant disregard for the safety of innocents and that he still lacks the qualities of a real hero.
• Lantern Jaw of Justice: Or injustice, in this case. A rare case of the villain having a lantern jaw comparable to the hero.
• Loony Fan: He started off as Mr. Incredible's ultra-obsessed fan. He later became his ultra-obsessed enemy.
• Mad Scientist
• Narcissist: He cares only for himself and his fame. He's notably a much more realistic example of this than most: he doesn't just have an ego, he actively can't comprehend the idea that he's wrong or that anything is his own fault. Even his memory of the trigger event that drove him to villainy completely removes Bomb Voyage or anything that may have been his fault.
• No One Could Survive That: Syndrome's death by Turbine Blender.
• Obliviously Evil: Syndrome's view of being a superhero emphasises on the concept of having powers only, and doesn't have the morals of an actual one. He has no qualms about killing innocents just so he could get some recognition as a hero, and outright shoves more civilians aside when he's trying to flee from the Omnidroid v.10.
• Older Hero vs. Younger Villain: The younger villain to Mr. Incredible's older hero, being roughly 15 years younger than him.
• Psychopathic Manchild: He balances a genius-level talent for inventing technology with a juvenile personality as an adult. His scheme involves killing many Supers and putting the public in danger.
• Smug Snake: He's generally competent enough, but his overconfidence causes him problems. He assumed the Omnidroid would never realise it was being controlled by a remote. He finally pays for his cockiness with his life when he chooses to gloat to Mr. Incredible about how he'll successfully kidnap Jack-Jack one day instead of making good on his escape.
• The Sociopath
• The Team Wannabe
• Turbine Blender: How he dies.
• Who's Laughing Now?: He was turned away by Mr. Incredible despite just wanting to help, giving him a grudge against natural superheroes. "See, now you respect me. Because I'm a threat. That's the way it works. Turns out there a lot of people, whole countries, who want respect..."
  • Never mind that Bob turning him away wasn't out of malice or arrogance but for Buddy's own safety. The kid nearly got himself blown up, for crying out loud. Buddy, however, didn't see it that way, as you can tell from his flashback of Bob telling him this.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: He occasionally slips into expecting common superhero film tropes to hold sway. It's one of the contributing factors to his death, as he assumes he's an arch-nemesis with Joker Immunity and that Mr. Incredible wouldn't dare interrupt his evil gloating, leaving him open for the Super to attack him with his own car.
• Youthful Freckles: He has freckles on his cheeks as a pre-teen. Years later, he still has them as an adult, which serves to emphasise him being a Psychopathic Manchild.

Mirage

Voiced by: Elizabeth Peña

Syndrome's assistant while carrying out the Super genocide. After Syndrome risks her life while she was being held by Mr. Incredible, she feels undervalued by her boss turning on him and helping the Incredibles instead.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Affably Evil: She is very polite towards Mr. Incredible despite recruiting and working for a madman who has the intention to kill him. She herself doesn't appear to hold anything personal towards Supers.
• Affair Hair: Subverted. Helen only thinks that this is what happened when she finds one of Mirage's hairs on Bob's supersuit.
• Alto Villainess: Has a very deep voice for an alluring spy, courtesy of Elizabeth Peña.
• Ambiguously Brown: Has a tanned complexion, being significantly darker than any other character in the first film besides Frozone, as well an accent that's difficult to pinpoint. She is voiced by Elizabeth Peña, an actress of Latin American descent, which is the only clue. It it fitting as it ties in to her mysterious nature.
• Ambiguous Situation: It's not clear in the film if Mirage herself has any superhuman abilities, or if she is simply a gifted spy. Her name definitely sounds like a superhero or villain title, and she's able to effortlessly blend into the offices of Insuricare. Furthermore, in her first video message to Mr. Incredible, she remarks that "according to the government, neither of us exist," which could be interpreted as a ploy to appeal to his desire to relive his glory days, or that she too was subjected to the ban on Supers. Brad Bird later confirmed that she does not have superpowers.
• Anti-Hero: Established herself as this when she decided to assist the Incredibles in defeating Syndrome.
• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: The Beauty to Violet's Brains and Helen's Brawn.
• Beauty Equals Goodness: 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 his ultimate downfall with the help of the Incredibles (alongside her Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal against him).
• Beauty Is Bad: Downplayed. She is a villain of great beauty, but she has several mitigating factors that make her less of an evil than Syndrome, such as her genuine politeness, a demonstration of the fact that she doesn't want to get children involved in her plans with him, and that she is immediately aware that Syndrome is completely selfish when he allows Mr. Incredible to try to kill her.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: A bizarre case since Mr. Incredible is technically only nice to her in that he spares her life after threatening to crush her. Considering he was stricken with grief and rage at the belief that his family had just been murdered and Syndrome proved in the situation that he didn't care whether Bob killed her or not, she forgives him for it.
• Blue Is Heroic: Later became this after she went against her former master Syndrome for leaving her to potentially die at the hands of Mr. Incredible. Her black dress from earlier in the film is replaced by a blue two-piece outfit when she helps the Incredibles.
• Color Motif: Blue, judging by the numerous outfits she wore.
• Consummate Liar: Under Syndrome's orders, she tells Supers that are brought to Nomanisan Island to fight and defeat the Omnidroids that the robots went rogue and were initially designed to fight evil. The truth is that they're designed to be intentionally destructive and kill Supers. Their moves are analysed so they can be upgraded to become stronger, so they're not rogue, they're doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing.
• Dark Mistress: To Syndrome.
• Dark-Skinned Blonde: Her ethnicity is ambiguous, just like everything else about her.
• The Dragon: To Syndrome, and is at his side in a majority of the scenes on the island. She's actively involved in his plan to attract Supers as part of Operation Kronos" Besides Syndrome, she's the only one on the island not wearing a face-obscuring mask.
• Enemy Mine: She and Helen have a rocky relationship in the comics, but cooperate while facing Xerek.
• Even Evil Has Standards: She won't stoop to harming children.
• Femme Fatale: A mysterious and alluring woman in league with the main villain who draws Mr. Incredible into a pretend undercover hero mission.
• Hartman Hips: Her hips are as wide as her shoulders, with her torso being much thinner.
• High Heel Face Turn: She's the only female member of Syndrome's crew, and the only one to willingly help the heroes. It starts when Syndrome launches missiles at a jet plane carrying children and becomes solidified when he is willing to risk her life when Mr. Incredible threatens to crush her.
• Manipulative Bitch: She lures Mr. Incredible into doing "superhero work" under Syndrome's orders, with the intention of killing him. After Mr. Incredible kills the Omnidroid v.8, she acts seductively towards him to make him feel at ease.
• Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Buddy risking her life haphazardly contributed to betraying him.
• Noodle People: She has a similar build to Violet, save for a more oval-shaped head.
• Punch Clock Villain: Unlike Syndrome, Mirage does not appear to possess any anti-Super sentiments and is only working for Syndrome because it is her job (and possibly an attraction to her boss). She seems fine with Syndrome's plot involving the death of multiple Supers, who are all essentially superhuman veterans willingly marching into life-threatening situations, and she does not express doubts until Syndrome ordered Elastigirl's plane to be destroyed in spite of there being children aboard and finding out that Syndrome was willing to let Mr. Incredible kill her.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives a subtle one to Syndrome when calling him out for betting her life during his mind game with Mr. Incredible. She says that "valuing life is not weakness" and that "disregarding it is not strength".
• She's Got Legs: Has long, slim legs like Violet.
• Spy Catsuit: Wears a grey one in the comics.
• Sympathetic Villain, Despicable Villain: She's definitely more heartfelt than her Bad Boss Syndrome.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: We never see what happens to her in the movie, but in the BOOM comics, she joins the government agency as a spy.
• White-Haired Pretty Girl

The Omnidroids

• Adaptive Ability: The Omnidroids adapt its tactics to defeat what or whoever is being used against it. In Mr. Incredible's fight with v.8, his attacks only work once before being anticipated and countered by the robot.
• Awesomeness By Analysis: It will take note of repeated tactics and devise a way to counter them.
• Be the Ball: It can retract its legs and head into its body so that it can roll around as a ball. Earlier models lacked this, being less circular in appearance. It wasn't until the sixth model that Syndrome began making them spherical.
• Climax Boss: Despite not being the Big Bad, the climax of the film is against the final Omnidroid, the v.10, rather than Syndrome, who spends the entire battle unconscious and is dealt with in a Post-Climax Confrontation.
• Combat Pragmatist: It will use every aspect of itself and the environment to win, including bringing its full weight down on enemies, rolling over them in ball form, hurling rocks, and bathing its claws in lava to make them deadlier.
• Combat Tentacles: Its primary weapons. The ninth version's claws can rotate as saws and the final version's can be propelled using rockets.
• Dragon Ascendant
• Hero-Killer: That's what it was built for and how it was tested.
• The Juggernaut: The Omnidroid v.10 is effectively invincible in direct combat, even when facing multiple Supers. Nothing causes any meaningful damage to it except its own claws. If the six Supers did not have Syndrome's remote, it would have been impossible for them to destroy the robot.
• Killer Robot: Downplayed. The first nine Omnidroids were only designed for killing target Supers. The v.10 gets its target list expanded, however. Even after all immediate threats were temporarily neutralised after it defeated Syndrome, it continues to destroy the city and attack random people. It's not known how far it would have gone if it wasn't stopped.
• Knight of Cerebus: While the first movie is pretty dark for a children's superhero film, Syndrome still has some comedic elements. The Omnidroids on the other hand are ruthless Killer Robots that through its development killed at least a dozen Supers. The v.10 running amok in Metroville is treated with the terror of a kaiju attack. The only comedic element of them is there is a few times the mechanical beast is subjected to Slapstick because of shenanigans regarding the remote.
• Nigh Invulnerability: The only thing that can damage it is literally its own claws. The eighth version even survives being submerged in lava.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: The penultimate model had blue eyes, so the final and most dangerous production model has red.
• Took a Level In Badass: The first model to appear in the film is beaten by just Mr. Incredible, which apparently could have taken out all previous heroes. It took the whole Incredible family to beat the final product.

Bomb Voyage

Voiced by: Dominique Louis

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• The Cameo: Appears in Ratatouille as a street mime in the background of one scene.
• Enemy Mime: He isn't mute but has the look.
• French Jerk: Has only disdain for Mr. Incredible and Buddy, and blows stuff up without regard for anyone's safety.
• Gratuitous French: Guess.
• Mad Bomber: Bomb Voyage, again.
• Monster Clown: Bomb Voyage. Sort of, he's actually supposed to be a French mime, but they're similar enough to qualify.
• Punny Name: Bomb Voyage. Bon Voyage, but with the bomb theme.
• Same Language Dub: In the European French and Canadian French dubs, all of Bomb Voyage's lines were re-recorded by Patrick Osmond and Alain Zouvi, respectively.
• Small Role, Big Impact: By sticking a bomb onto Buddy's cape that caused the destruction of part of the train line, he's partially responsible for an onslaught of lawsuits that leads to the passing of the Super Relocation Act, which bans superhero activity and forces them underground. This also leads to Buddy adopting the moniker "Syndrome" and starting a campaign to wipe out Supers.
• Starter Villain: He is the first villain introduced in the film, but has no further involvement in the plot beyond accidentally triggering the anti-super movement by putting a bomb on Buddy's cape, which causes significant property damage and personal injury.

Underminer

Voiced by: John Ratzenberger

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Badass Cape: A long, flowing brown one.
• Cyborg: He seems to be a mechanised human, going by his mechanical hands and eye.
• Evil Is Hammy: This guy really knows how to extravagantly present himself verbally.
• Evil Sounds Deep: John Ratzenberger dropped his voice an octave to deliver the character's line
• Eye-Obscuring Hat: His eyes are always obscured by his miner hat.
• Karma Houdini: Gets away with all of the money he stole from the bank.
• Large Ham: The way he announces himself, as well how he delivers his other lines.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: He might look like a cartoon villain with his antics, but in the second film, he manages to trade blows with Mr. Incredible and turns into a Karma Houdini. He manages to escape justice alongside the dollars he had stolen.
• Starter Villain: In the sequel. Surprisingly, he actually manages to escape from the heroes.
• Tunnel King: Tunnels up from underground to make his entrance, and escapes like this as well.
• Weapons That Suck: Uses an enormous tube to vacuum the money from the bank, and inadvertently, Mr. Incredible.

Screenslaver

Voiced by: Bill Wise (under voice modulation)

The secondary antagonist of Incredibles 2. In reality, he is a pizza delivery guy used by Evelyn to hypnotise people so that no suspicion would be placed on her.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Brainwashed and Crazy: Evelyn brainwashes him with hypno-goggles to distract Elastigirl from her quest.
• Dark Is Evil: Subverted. As his own self, none of what he has done during the second film was his own intention, as he is a brainwashed pizza delivery man who's controlled by Evelyn Deavor, the real Screenslaver.
• Disc One Final Boss: The decoy Screenslaver is prominent in the marketing of the film, and is defeated roughly halfway through the movie. Not long after, he is revealed to be just a puppet of the real Big Bad, Evelyn Deavor.
• Gas Mask Longcoat: His suit has the goggles and breathing apparatus on his mask, and the rest of the suit shows off no skin with black gloves. This overall appearance has a mad scientist-like feeling.
• Knight of Cerebus: His appearance greatly darkens the mood, with the scene of his speech and Elastigirl searching for him being one of the most tense in the movie.
• Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Parts of the Screenslaver's speech about using superheroes as escapism from life's problems is applicable to the audience, especially when he says "you don't talk, you watch talk shows, you don't play games, you watch game shows", since superhero movies was one of the most common forms of escapist media at the time the movie was released, being mid-2018. He even uses the real-world terminology "superheroes" instead of the more common in-universe "Supers".
• Lean and Mean: The decoy has a fairly thin physique. Turns out to be justified because this was the physique Evelyn wanted of someone to fight Elastigirl.
• The Scapegoat: The decoy Elastigirl defeats is just a pizza delivery guy who was hypnotised by Evelyn so she could keep everyone oblivious to her actual plans.
• Scary Teeth: The teeth on his mask give off this vibe.
• Stranger Behind the Mask: Subverted. When the Screenslaver is first fought and seemingly unmasked, the person in the costume turns out to be a young pizza delivery guy who Evelyn hypnotised to distract Elastigirl. The person behind the Screenslaver is actually Evelyn, who was believed to have been Elastigirl's friend.
• Vocal Evolution: His voice sounds much less modulated in the trailer and speaks more quickly and clearly, instead of the soft and slow voice he uses in the movie.
• Voice of the Legion: The voice modulator in his mask gives his voice a low, creepy pitch.

Other supporting characters

Edna Mode

Voiced by: Brad Bird

A diminutive but brilliant fashion designer who designs and makes costumes for Supers.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Always Camp: Designs super suits and behaves in a hammy way.
• Asian and Nerdy: Downplayed since she's only half Japanese, but has a mastery of super-advanced textile manufacturing to design and create super-suits for the heroes. She was even able to invent a suit that becomes invisible when Violet does.
• Bob Haircut: One of her most distinguishing features.
• Bunny Ears Lawyer: An eccentric and hammy woman who is a genius at designing super suits.
• Brainy Brunette
• Cool Old Lady
• The Cuckoolander Was Right: Don't brush off her warnings about wearing capes.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: Voiced by the film's director, Brad Bird. Originally they hired Lily Tomlin, but at Bird's "demonstration" she laughed and said they didn't need her because he already had it down cold.
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette
• Establishing Character Moment: Edna's Brutal Honesty and high standards are established right off the bat when she moves a security guard from his post when he prevents Mr. Incredible from entering her mansion. She then remarks that Mr. Incredible has gained a lot of weight before happily letting him in.
• The Fashionista: Fashion designer. She actually hates working for the fashion industry, though - in her opinion, compared to superheroes, supermodels make profoundly uninteresting subjects.
• Foreshadowing: She mentions how tons of heroes met their downfall due to capes. Guess what happens to Syndrome?
• Get A Hold Of Yourself, Man!: Berates Helen and smacks her with a magazine when she starts crying due to believing he's having an affair. This motivates Helen to track down her husband.

"You are Elastigirl! Find him!"

• Hero Worshipper: She refers to heroes as gods. She even refers to Jack-Jack as a "tiny god" in the sequel, which is a pretty fitting description in all honesty.
• Honorary Aunt: After learning about Jack-Jack's multiple powers, she instantly decides to bond with him to study his potential and eventually comes to like the little guy. She even refers to herself as Auntie Edna, the name of the short that is spun off from the second film.
• Impossibly Cool Clothes: She makes these.
  • Impractically Fancy Outfits: ...but not these.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She is somewhat arrogant and bad-tempered, but is a good person at heart. She is also dismissive and hard on certain types of fashion, but puts new heart into Elastigirl with some tough love.
• Large Ham: She might be tiny, but the ham is enormous.
• Mad Artist: She's very excited about her work.
• Meganekko
• Miniature Senior Citizens: 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.
• The Napoleon: Edna is very short and she's also noticeably a Large Ham and hot-tempered. Unlike Mr. Huph (who's an outright Hate Sink), she's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and one of the most beloved characters in the movie to boot.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: Her appearance and demeanour are believed to be based off of either Edith Head, Linda Hunt, Anna Wintour, or a combination of all three. Fittingly, Head was a costume designer in real life, while Wintour is the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, the world's most famous fashion magazine.
• Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: Or, well, an incredibly gifted and prestigious designer. Or all of the above. Either way, she takes no crap and does not soften her opinion of anyone, for anyone.
• What the Hell Is That Accent?: When Bird did the scratch voice for Edna, he described it as a kind of German/Japanese accent mix. Apparently, Brad Bird intended Lily Tomlin to be Edna's voice actor but she had a hard time speaking her lines with this accent and when Bird demonstrated it, Tomlin felt he had captured her voice so perfectly, she recommended him to be Edna instead.
• Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?: Edna was created expressly to avert this. Brad Bird wondered where supers got their suits, and didn't buy the idea that they made them on their own, so he made a character who designed suits with special tech included as an explanation, with the idea that this is a parallel industry to superheroics.
• The Wonka: She is undeniably brilliant, but equally eccentric and single-minded. Her gifts are solely aimed at designing uniforms for superheroes and she can design fabrics in her own workshop that can match any Super's powers.

Gilbert Huph

Voiced by: Wallace Shawn

Bob's boss while working at Insuricare. He only cares about profit and in the process denies customers their insurance money.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Actor Allusion: While not quite an expy, Mr. Huph is suspiciously similar to another Bad Boss character played by Wallace Shawn.
• Antagonist Abilities: Despite lacking any superpowers, he's able to use his position as a means to prevent underlings like Bob from going against him, albeit corruptly.
• Asshole Victim: Bob throws Huph through several walls for not being able to save a man being mugged, and huph being happy about it. Huph ends up in traction, and it's hard to feel much sympathy considering how badly he treated Bob.
• Bandage Mummy: He ends up in a full-body cast after being thrown through several walls by an enraged Bob.
• Blown Across the Room: More like thrown through a wall and several cubicles, but same difference. Not to say the jerk didn't deserve it though.
• Gonk: He definitely looks more unpleasant than Edna Mode, whose own looks at least have a certain amusing appeal to it.
• Greed: His obsession with money is why he is more concerned with inflating profits than giving his clients the insurance cover they need.
• Jerkass: Treats his underlings poorly, doesn't want to give any client an insurance payout, and doesn't care about a man being mugged outside.
• Hey, It's That Guy!: Vizzini.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: Rex.
• Large Ham: He is often loud and aggressive, as shown when he calls out Bob for letting clients get around the bureaucracy to get their claims approved.
• Made of Iron: He survives being thrown through several walls by an enraged Mr. Incredible. Although he's badly injured and left in a cast, the fact he - a normal human with no superpowers of any kind - survived such a thing to begin with shows he's surprisingly durable.
• Mean Boss: His entire role in the movie.
• The Napoleon: He clearly gets a buzz out of humiliating the much larger Bob and forcing him to comply with his authority.
• Obstructive Bureaucrat
• One-Scene Wonder: Appears in only two scenes of the film.
• Only One Plausible Suspect: He knows exactly who to blame for Insuricare's customers bypassing claim denials in such high volumes, and that person is the good-natured Bob.
• Step Three: Profit: You'd think that a smarter business exec might at least consider that Parr's diligent efforts for deserving policy holders might attract many new customers when word of such good service spreads around.

Tony Rydinger

Voiced by: Michael Bird

A popular student at Violet's middle school. She has a crush on him.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Curtains Match the Window: He has brown hair and eyes.
• Chick Magnet: His first appearance shows a couple of girls greeting him in a flirty manner, as well as Violet secretly admiring him.
• Early Installment Character-Design Difference: His hair goes from auburn in the first film to dark brown in the second. He also has a much different appearance.
• Fan Service Pack: He has an improved design in the sequel, looking younger, slimmer and with darker hair.
• Nice Guy: Is consistently polite throughout both films, averting the Jerk Jock stereotype.
• Pretty Boy: Very much so; it's not hard to see why Violet's interested.

Rick Dicker

Voiced by: Bud Luckey (The Incredibles), Jonathan Banks (Incredibles 2)

He was a government agent of the former NSA (National Supers Agency), which was meant to clean up any Super accidents. He is now head of the Super Relocation Program, a government program that helps former Supers get settled into normal life.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Deadpan Snarker: Very much deadpan in the way he generally talks.
• Hawaiian-Shirted Tourist: How he dresses when he's clearing out his desk in the second movie, implying he got to retire somewhere nice.
• Knight in Sour Armor
• Memory-Wiping Crew: He has a clunky-looking device that can erase memories. He does this to Kari at the end of Jack-Jack Attack and to Tony in the second film, and a deleted scene shows him doing it to Mr. Huph after Mr. Incredible throws him through several walls.
• The Men in Black: He's part of the government agency that monitors and conceals the identities of Supers.
• Mundane Solution: After Syndrome is outed as a supervillain, Dicker simply has his assets frozen and an arrest warrant issued, instantly demolishing his organisation.
• Perpetual Frowner: He mostly has a weary look on his face and rarely smiles. He is shown smiling during the wedding, but he's got every right to since things haven't gone bad. He also smiles when the anti-Super law is repealed.
• Perp Sweating: Does this to Kari in Jack-Jack Attack regarding the titular character, and to Tony in the sequel, regarding him seeing Violet as a Super.
• Undying Loyalty: Supports the Parrs and other Supers through thick and thin, no matter what they go through.

Kari McKeen

Voiced by: Bret Parker

A friend of Violet, who hires her to babysit Jack-Jack during the events of the first movie. She finds the process unexpectedly difficult, as Jack-Jack's powers manifest in a big way.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Badly-Battered Babysitter: AND HOW.
• Break the Cutie
• Cassandra Truth: Her parents didn't believe her when she told them about Jack-Jack.
• Cloudcuckoolander: As shown when on the phone with Elastigirl, she is quirky.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Manages to stay alive despite being left alone for a long time with an uncontrollable, super-powered infant.
• Exhaustion-Induced Idiocy: Having been up all night having to deal with Jack-Jack's powers, she really was exhausted. Kari believed Syndrome was the replacement babysitter and that the "S" on his supervillain costume really did mean "sitter", taking the first opportunity to hand him off and get out of there.
• Females Are More Innocent: Played with when she babysits Jack-Jack, whose various superpowers drove her crazy during the short film Jack-Jack Attack, but it is later played straight after the arrival of Syndrome, who poses as a substitute "sitter" for him to "take care" of the baby (when really, it's for the villain's vengeance against the rest of the Parr family after his plan to publicly fake heroism failed).
• Genius Ditz: She's one hell of a devoted babysitter. However, she meets her match in Jack-Jack.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: A literal example.
• Motor Mouth
• Tempting Fate: She tells Helen "Don't you worry about one single thing, Mrs. Parr. I can totally handle anything this baby can dish out". It was then easy to predict that she was in for a difficult time.
• Twitchy Eye: When saying the word 'baby' in 'babysitter'.
• What the Hell, Hero?: She eagerly hands Jack-Jack over to Syndrome, who is a complete stranger to her. She later gets called out on this by Dicker.
• What You Are in the Dark: Kari could have easily abandoned Jack-Jack when he started getting out of control with his powers, especially since Elastigirl wasn't returning any of her increasingly-frantic calls about the situation. But she stuck with Jack-Jack the whole night and didn't leave him alone until someone else showed up to take over the situation. It may have been Syndrome, but she was too tired and desperate to draw any suspicion.

Winston Deavor

Voiced by: Bob Odenkirk

A rich tycoon of a world-class telecommunications company who supports Supers and wishes to bring them back into the spotlight.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Actor Allusion: Winston's campaign to make Supers public again through legal means sounds like another character his voice actor played.
• Ascended Fanboy: Having been a fan of superheroes since he was a child, he is active in reintroducing Supers back into society and having the Super Registration Act repealed. He even manages to engage in his own act of heroism in the end by releasing everyone on the Everjust from their hypnosis.
• Big Good: Winston's actions and character are definitely good and noble, and he calls all the shots in the campaign for the return of superheroes.
• Blue Is Heroic: Wears a blue suit in every scene of the second film he's in, and is the one who planned to make Supers legal again.
• Brother-Sister Team: With Evelyn. His charisma and business smarts combined with Evelyn's tech genius drive DevTech.
• The Face: While Evelyn got the technical genius in the family, Winston got the social prowess. His skills at marketing are what made their company DevTech the worldwide conglomerate it is, and now he wants to use his talents to make Supers public again.
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Played with in their corporate roles. Evelyn seems like the Responsible to Winston's Foolish, as Evelyn's the one who comes up with the actual means to implement Winston's grand ideas. She also softly scolds him for his over-enthusiasm and childlike tendencies, and keeps business conversations on track from his tendency to get sidetracked. These roles are reversed once Evelyn is revealed as the Screenslaver, when her misplaced anger and bitterness towards superheroes (who she blames for their parents' tragic deaths) causes her to endanger lives to ensure they stay illegal. Winston becomes the responsible sibling, going back to save the innocent people caught up in Evelyn's scheme by breaking their hypnosis.
• Honest Corporate Executive: His aims and personality are genuine, and risks his life to save those hypnotised on the EverJust after learning of what Evelyn did.
• Nice Guy: Not only is he genuine in wanting to restore the superheroes to their former glory, but he is also a very fun and cool guy to be around.
• Non-Action Guy: He's a talker, not a fighter. He briefly jumps into action when he decides to help stop Evelyn's plan.
• Nostalgia Filter: An In-Universe example. Evelyn accuses him of having this, equating the good times he had as a child with his parents to the presence of superheroes. He thinks if Supers are back, things will be like when his parents were still alive. Frozone even identifies him as being nostalgic and suggests that Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl show up in their old superhero outfits instead of their new ones.
• Sharp-Dressed Man
• Strong Family Resemblance: He looks just like his father, only younger and without the beard.
• Uncle Pennybags: An eccentric billionaire who wants to make Supers legal again and gives the Parrs one of his mansions when they go into business together. He's also a total sweetheart in person.
• What You Are in the Dark: He could have escaped the Everjust with Evelyn and no one would be any the wiser to what happened, but instead he chooses to return and help save everyone on board.

Evelyn Deavor

Voiced by: Catherine Keener

Winston Deavor's sister and a tech expert who has never met a problem she can't solve.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Big Bad: Of the sequel.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She seemed genuine in her support of her brother's plan for the first half of the film, but she is revealed to have quite the opposite aims.
• Brainy Brunette: With all the gadgets she's invented, Evelyn definitely qualifies.
• Brother-Sister Team: With Winston. His charisma and business smarts combined with Evelyn's tech genius drive DevTech.
• Evil All Along: She turns out to be the real Screenslaver, with an unnamed pizza guy being only a decoy as a means of distraction.
• Evil Is Petty: She orchestrates a pizza delivery guy's imprisonment, because he's "surly" and "the pizza was cold".
• Exhausted Eye Bags: She looks tired throughout the film. She would have spent nights both working for DevTech and on her anti-Super plan.
• Gadgeteer Genius: She develops technology sold by DevTech.
• Genius Slob: Compared to her impeccably dressed and groomed brother, Evelyn is more inclined towards comfortable, bohemian-casual clothing with mildly unkempt hair. In her first onscreen appearance, she is running late to her meeting with Winston and the Supers, and dumps everything she's carrying onto an unlucky employee.
• Graceful Loser: Implied with her defeat, as while she was an Ungrateful Bitch towards Elastigirl for saving her, she didn't attempt to resist her arrest.
• Hidden Villain: Evelyn's supervillain identity remains unknown for the majority of the sequel.
• Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Trailer: She doesn't appear in any trailer for the sequel.
• Start of Darkness: Evelyn's hatred towards Supers started after her father's murder, not long after Supers were banned.
• Steven Ulysses Perhero: Her name sounds similar to "evil endeavour," which is fitting since she's the film's true main antagonist.
• Would Hurt a Child: Has no problem using mind-controlled Supers to harm the Parr children.

Minor characters

Honey Best

Voiced by: Kimberly Adair Clark

Frozone's wife; only makes an off-screen appearance in each film

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• All There in the Manual: There is concept art of Honey, so it is possible to see what she looks like.
• Skewed Priorities: Would rather have husband Lucius go to dinner with her than him save the public from danger.
• The Voice: She's only heard during an argument with her husband. In the second film, it was originally planned for Honey to appear in person, but the writers decided it would be funnier if she stayed just a voice. She's heard telling Lucius to be back "ASAP", without taking his supersuit with him.

Rocky

A raccoon who hangs around the house Winston gives to the Parrs. He serves as Jack-Jack's first nemesis, their fight resulting in Bob discovering that Jack-Jack has superpowers.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Amplified Animal Aptitude: Certainly acts more intelligently than the average raccoon. He puts up a better fight against Jack-Jack than Syndrome, the previous film's Big Bad.
• Animal Nemesis: Jack-Jack mistakes the raccoon for an actual thief, leading to a scuffle in the backyard. Despite Jack-Jack's powers, the raccoon does a fair job of holding his own. Even after fleeing into the woods, he later returns to continue to posture with Jack-Jack through the sliding glass door while Bob is on the phone with Helen.
• Badass Bystander: He's a raccoon scavenging from the Parrs' trash can minding his own business, but Jack-Jack was watching a movie with an Obviously Evil robber and made a connection between the criminal's mask and the raccoon's eye markings. Being a baby, he was unable to realise that the markings did not make Rocky a criminal. However, once Jack-Jack takes heroic action against the "evil-doer", he finds that Rocky puts up a surprisingly good fight.
• Bit Part Badguys: Downplayed in that Rocky has no relevance to the overall plot and that he's just an animal fighting over food. He exists solely to give Jack-Jack an opportunity to show off his plethora of superpowers to the audience and Mr. Incredible.
• The Cat Came Back: After Rocky and Jack-Jack are broken up, they meet up again while Bob is on the phone with Helen, staring each other down through the sliding glass door.
• Combat Pragmatist: He uses the environment in his fight against Jack-Jack, for instance, overturning the barbecue to make a makeshift smoke bomb.
• Rascally Raccoon: Jack-Jack sees him sifting through a rubbish bin, and comparing the black fur around his eyes to a mask a baddie on TV is wearing, attacks him. The raccoon does not shy away.
• Shout-Out: He is named after The Beatles song Rocky Raccoon.

Comics characters

Mezmerella

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• The Dragon: To Xerek in the comics as the head minion.
• Evil Redhead: Has red hair, and is an evil hypnotist.
• Goggles Do Something Unusual: Aside from the goggles inducing hypnosis, the goggles were what ended up making her a villain to start with.
• Hypnotic Eyes: Her spiral lenses increase her hypnotic powers.
• Lotus Eater Machine: Puts Dash into one.
• Squishy Wizard

Xerek

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• The Chessmaster: A cold and calculating one.
• Dating Catwoman: Was this for Elastigirl in the old days.
• Death Seeker: His ultimate goal is to bring the world down with him, having become tired of victory and his unnaturally long life.
• Powered by a Forsaken Child: Xerek extends his life through machines siphoning off the life force of others, having once killed a bunch of people born on a specific day to get such a recharge.
• Really 700 Years Old: He's the oldest villain in the world on account of having been around for a couple of centuries.
• Tall, Dark and Handsome: Before he was aged up.
• What Could Have Been: Was the villain of the movie in the original scripts but was replaced by Syndrome.
