Who is Elastigirl?

The plots of The Incredibles films show Mrs. Helen Parr (voiced by Holly Hunter) to be a doting, dedicated wife to Bob and a loving, suburban mom to Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack. However, as Elastigirl, she is the best person for saving the world because unlike other male superheroes in her realm, she is less likely to cause chaos and is more reliable to get results.

In the first film, she gives up her crime-fighting career to dedicate her life in raising her family after superheroes were banned. Years later, she learns that her whole family has superhero powers, so she makes it a point to teach her children about the value of keeping their secret identities. However, she is forced to bring back her superhero persona to help her husband after he gets in trouble in the chaotic world of heroes and villains. Together with her superhero children, Elastigirl is back to saving the world and her husband from imminent danger.

The second film takes on a different approach by taking a gradual shift towards the complex and interesting female character. Incredibles 2 puts Elastigirl at the center of the story’s expansive action-packed sequences. She makes it clear that being a matriarch does not prevent her from also becoming a fearless woman who makes a dent in the world.
