The Incredibles

Robert "Bob" Parr (a.k.a. Mr. Incredible) (voiced by Craig T. Nelson in the films, Richard McGonagle in Rise of the Underminer, and Jeff Bergman in Lego The Incredibles) possesses tremendous strength and durability.
Robert "Bob" Parr (a.k.a. Mr. Incredible) (voiced by Craig T. Nelson in the films, Richard McGonagle in Rise of the Underminer, and Jeff Bergman in Lego The Incredibles) possesses tremendous strength and durability.
He also has enhanced senses.
He is married to Helen Parr, the superheroine known as Elastigirl, and they have three children together: Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack.
Sometime after his marriage, Mr. Incredible was sued by Oliver Sansweet for thwarting his suicide and the passengers of the train he stopped from running off the tracks which was part of the events that led to the government silently initiating the Superhero Relocation Program.
Sometime after his marriage, Mr. Incredible was sued by Oliver Sansweet for thwarting his suicide and the passengers of the train he stopped from running off the tracks which was part of the events that led to the government silently initiating the Superhero Relocation Program.
Bob found forced retirement difficult, and often had to cheat his way out of the house on Wednesdays so that he could continue his superheroics.
He was shocked to discover that his "Number 1 fan", Buddy Pine, had reformed himself as the villain Syndrome after Mr. Incredible had squelched Pine's wish to be his ward in an attempt to protect him.
It was not until Syndrome threatened the family's lives that Bob realized that his family was his "greatest adventure".
His red superhero suit, designed by Edna Mode, appears to have the same level of durability as Mr. Incredible himself.

In his prime, Mr. Incredible drove a gadget-laden car, the Incredibile, reminiscent of ones driven by James Bond or Batman.
The silhouette of a newer version of the Incredibile for the entire family is seen in the end credits of the first, and the new car makes a full appearance in the comic series and at the end of the second film.
Helen Parr (Elastigirl)
Helen Parr (a.k.a. Elastigirl or Mrs. Incredible) (voiced by Holly Hunter) is Mr. Incredible's wife.

Helen Parr (a.k.a. Elastigirl or Mrs. Incredible) (voiced by Holly Hunter) is Mr. Incredible's wife.
Helen can stretch any part of her body up to 300 feet and can be 1 mm thin.
She can also reshape her body in a variety of ways.
In the movie she becomes a parachute and a rubber boat, and has used her arms for swings and a slingshot.
In her early years she seemed to be a feminist and had no desire to "settle down".
Since her marriage to Bob, Helen has become a dedicated spouse and mother, although she is frustrated with her husband's continuing dreams of glory.
Helen is also an experienced jet pilot, from having a close friend who flew her around the world when she was a Super.
Her sharp wit and superb espionage skills, as well as her experience as a superhero, make her an excellent tactician and leader.
Her red superheroine suit, designed by Edna Mode, can stretch as far as she can and still retain its shape.
It is virtually indestructible yet it breathes like Egyptian cotton.
Violet Parr
Violet Parr (voiced by Sarah Vowell) is a 14-year-old junior high school teenager stuck at the crossroads between girl and woman. Violet desperately wants to be like everyone else, to blend in with normal people, and not to stand out.
Violet Parr (voiced by Sarah Vowell) is a 14-year-old junior high school teenager stuck at the crossroads between girl and woman. Violet desperately wants to be like everyone else, to blend in with normal people, and not to stand out.
Her superpowers allow her to turn instantly invisible, and to generate spherical force fields to protect herself and also to levitate extremely heavy objects; the interiors of the force fields have an anti-gravitational effect, allowing Violet to levitate inside, but she can be stunned temporarily if the field is struck by a sufficiently large force.
During the first film, she and Dash combine their powers to create the IncrediBall (named in the video game), a tactic in which Violet generates a force field around herself, and Dash uses his speed power to use the ball like a cannonball or battering ram.

Her struggle with her shyness and lack of confidence constitutes a major side story in the movie; she is spurred on by Helen's encouragement that she has more power than she realizes and that she just has to believe it.
In the end, Violet sheds her shyness and ends up at the confident side when her crush Tony Rydinger asks her for a date.
Dash Parr
Dashiell "Dash" Robert Parr (voiced by Spencer Fox in the first film, Huck Milner in the second film) is a speedster.
While he is only as strong as the average 10-year-old boy, the film's official website lists "enhanced durability" among Dash's powers, which is implied in the film by the amount of incidental high-speed collisions and crashes Dash endures without apparent injury. Dash also discovers throughout the course of the movie that his speed allows him to be able to run over water without submerging.
Dash would like to go out for sports, but his mother Helen will not allow it because she thinks that he would show off his super-speed and blow the family's civilian cover.

To vent his frustration, Dash uses his power to play pranks on his teacher, Bernie Kropp, which also threatens their cover.
Dash's reckless and impulsive nature and one-track mind have put him at odds with Violet's gloomier and more sarcastic nature more often than their parents would like, but when Dash is in battle, he cares deeply about his family; he was willing to attack a fully grown man who was about to kill his sister.

Jack-Jack Parr
John Jackson "Jack-Jack" Parr (voiced by Eli Fucile and Maeve Andrews in the first film, Fucile and Nicholas Bird [as a monster] in the second film) is the Parrs' infant son, the youngest of the Parr children.
John Jackson "Jack-Jack" Parr (voiced by Eli Fucile and Maeve Andrews in the first film, Fucile and Nicholas Bird [as a monster] in the second film) is the Parrs' infant son, the youngest of the Parr children.
Initially believed to be the only family member without any powers, he manifests a multitude of superhuman abilities at the end of the first film, most of which are types of shapeshifting.
More powers are seen in the short film Jack-Jack Attack on the Incredibles DVD, making his powers the most versatile of the family, and according to a collectible poster included with some Incredibles toys, still more powers are undisclosed.
Although Edna Mode did not know what powers Jack-Jack might develop, she covered various possibilities by making him a fireproof and bulletproof blanket sleeper-like jumpsuit.

Creator Brad Bird explains on the DVD that Jack-Jack's varied abilities are a metaphor for how young children have infinite possibilities ahead of them in life.
He begins to manifest a broader range of powers during Incredibles 2, inspiring Edna to upgrade his suit with sensors that allow his family to track him or rein in his powers via remote control.
