Parr Family Secrets

Behind the suburban picket fences of Metroville lives a family that appears perfectly ordinary. Bob works in insurance, Helen manages the household, and their three children navigate the typical trials of school and adolescence. However, the Parr family guards a collection of secrets that define not just their private lives, but the very safety of the world.

The Parr family—Bob (Mr. Incredible), Helen (Elastigirl), Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack—presents a unique domestic dynamic in which the ordinary and the extraordinary are in constant conflict.

The biggest secret for years—even from the family itself—was Jack-Jack’s powers. While most Supers manifest one primary ability, Jack-Jack is a "polymorph." This means he can access dozens of powers, including: Turning into a literal fireball.

As a family of superheroes in hiding, the Parrs face unique challenges. Bob struggles to balance his desire for adventure with the need to provide for his family, while Helen tries to keep their superpowers under wraps while managing the household. Their children, meanwhile, are eager to use their powers and explore their superhero identities.
