Supers is a term for superpowered humans in the world of the Disney/Pixar The Incredibles franchise. In the films, each super has a random superpower. At the time of the first movie, all superheroes were forced into hiding when the public began to sue them for damages caused by crime-fighting. The Supers would be granted amnesty from responsibilities for past actions while, in return, they had to promise to never again resume any form of hero-work. 15 years later, however, Winston Deavor, CEO of DevTech, started off a campaign that would help Superheroes become legal again, which ultimately succeeded.
Over 15 years, Syndrome had many Supers killed by Omnidroids during training sessions for Operation Kronos. The only known Supers left were Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone, with the exception of Bob and Helen's children and the "Wannabe" supers.
Appearances[]
The Incredibles[]
Aside from the Incredibles family and Frozone, several other Supers had cameo appearances in the film. During the opening, Dynaguy, Stratogale, Thunderhead, Meta-Man, and Gazerbeam, are seen attending Bob and Helen's wedding in their super suits. Dynaguy, Stratogale, Thunderhead, and Meta-Man are seen again flashbacks, along with Splashdown, when Edna Mode states the dangers of capes to Bob. Whilst snooping around Syndrome's base, Mr. Incredible broke into his computer and discovered a list of supers he killed during Omnidroid training sessions for Operation Kronos.
Incredibles 2[]
In the sequel, Superheroes were still illegal. However, Winston and Evelyn Deavor set out to change that by running a campaign that would make Superheroes legal again. Fitting tiny cameras into their super-suits, Supers could share their perceptions with the public, showing them what goes on when they are fighting crime. It is also revealed in the sequel that not all the Supers were killed by Syndrome. There were many others who were forced into hiding due to the law. Among these supers were the "Wannabes", Voyd, He-Lectrix, Reflux, Brick, Screech, and Krushauer, who joined Winston Deavor's campaign to bring Superheroes back. At the signing of the International Supers Accord, more Supers were seen among the many ambassadors attending the ceremony.
LEGO The Incredibles[]
All the Supers that are seen or mentioned the films are playable characters in the LEGO video game. In this version all of the Supers that in the original film were either terminated by Omnidroids or suffered from cape malfunctions are still alive and surviving. Other new and original Supers were also added as playable characters.

| Blazestone was described as "sassy", initially gaining the NSA's attention after being arrested and jailed and upon recruitment was watched closely as to perform under their guidelines. As part of her rehabilitation, she was paired with Universal Man to form the "Beta Force," a team that used shock and awe tactics to fight street-level crime. She had a tendency to speak incredibly fast as a result of always forgetting which dimension she is in. She was in a "Hot and Cold" relationship with Frozone, but the two eventually broke up at some point. Blazestone was killed by the Onmidroid, v.X2 | |

| Downburst was initially a doctor when he discovered his powers, later leaving to pursue a career in heroism. At the time his powers were not fully developed, so the NSA put him under continuous training to help enhance them. Due to his initial lack of training and development, Downburst had to fight to gain acceptance within the Super community. Downburst had a dislike for Frozone and competed for the affections of super-heroine Blazestone. He managed to defeat the Omnidroid v.X2 after Blazestone's death by it and was then killed by the Omnidroid v.X3 | |

| Dynaguy was an original member of the "Thrilling Three". He was known for being impulsive and reckless, resulting in him being put under NSA medication regimen. He came up with his name shortly after discovering his powers, whilst sitting in a local diner. Dynaguy was one of several supers who died due to a "Suit Malfunction", killed when his cape snagged the ground during one of his takeoffs. Following his death, Gazerbeam replaced him as leader of the "Thrilling Three". | |

| In her golden years, Elastigirl was romantically pursued by many top Supers but turned them all down as she preferred to live the life of freedom and adventure. She had a goal in becoming a prominent superheroine before the banning of Supers. Elastigirl displayed strong opinions towards the subject of Supers being a predominantly male profession.
Elastigirl loved to ride motorcycles, and as a superhero rode a super-bike called an Elasticycle. | |

| Everseer was at one time the leader of the Superhero team The "Phantasmics" where he rivaled with Gazerbeam over the leadership position. He was known for being obsessive-compulsive and a germaphobic, making him unmarried as he preferred to avoid physical contact. Since he could beat people up with his mind, Everseer never engaged in hand-to-hand combat. This was merely a cover-up for the fact that he had a severe fear of germs. Everseer was also an author who wrote a book titled "Shut Up! Quieting Your Inner Voice" as part of his psychologist secret identity alongside Psychwave. He was killed by the Omnidroid v.X1 | |
 Fironic |

| Although his powers are never explicitly stated, it could be extrapolated that he had fire-based abilities due to his name and logo.
Fironic and Gazerbeam were known to have personal connection with the father of Winston and Evelyn Deavor. However, this relationship ended when superheroes were made illegal and they were forced to go into hiding. | |

| Easily recognized by his wave-like hairstyle, Gamma Jack was a favorite of the ladies and was prone to megalomaniacal impulses, believing Supers to be a "superior race". He chose to save attractive women over other innocents and had a particular issue with "killing" female supervillains he was attracted to. These impulses and traits caused the NSA great concern, putting him under close monitoring. He was also a picky eater. He defeated the Omnidroid v.X5 but was killed by Omnidroid v.X6 | |

| Generally known for a rather dull personality, Gazerbeam had no sense of humor. He was a member of the superhero team, the Phantasmics, but conflicts with Everseer led him to leave and he soon joined the Thrilling Three as their new leader upon the death of Dynaguy. As a civilian, he worked as an inner-city pro-bono lawyer. He bested Omnidroid v.X4 but was defeated by Omnidroid v.X5 | |

| Macroburst was at one point the sidekick of Everseer, who often referred to them as "The Kid", before taking on a superhero career of his own. Along with Everseer, Macrobust was a founding member of the Phantasmics, and was responsible for transporting the team using their powers. They were also known for constantly and obsessively maintaining their hairstyle. They defeated the v.X1 but then was killed by Omnidroid v.X2 | |

| Meta Man was deeply committed to his life as a hero, and probably the strongest superhero of his time. He had been put under NSA review as the leader of "Meta Group", overseeing the actions of every other superhero team in existence. Despite all of his great power, Meta-Man was one of several Supers to suffer from an unfortunate "Suit Malfunction", on account of him dying when his cape got snagged in an elevator shaft whilst lifting an express elevator to safety. | |

| Prior to the banning of Supers, Mr. Incredible was once the World's most famous Superhero. At that time he was easily distracted and had an inability to set priorities. His victory in an eating contest with Thunderhead at the NSA picnic earned him the nickname "Mr. Inedible". | |

| Phylange discovered his power whilst selling peanuts, shouting at ballparks. He was known for his selfish attitude and need for respect, resulting in him never being embraced by the public. His abrasive personality also caused him to have a rivalry with Mr. Incredible. Phylange spent his normal life under the secret identity of an opera singer.
Phylange was a former member of the Superhero team known as the "Thrilling Three", alongside Gazerbeam and Apogee, but left because he saw the team as "Gazerbeam's Gang". He denied this rumor, however, stating in his interviews that he and Gazerbeam got along well and that it was merely a "democratic decision". His name is likely a pun on the audio effect known as flanging. He was killed by the Omnidroid v.X2 | |

| Plasmabolt was known for her obsession with the outdoors, spending her normal life under the guise of a forest ranger, which she was adamant about separating from her superhero identity. She was a member of the Phantasmics. She was never defeated by the Omnidroid and her whereabouts are unknown. It is speculated she joined a superhero black ops team but that is most unlikely. | |

| Psycwave was a founding member of the Phantasmics alongside Everseer and at one point, Gazerbeam. She was known for her occasional paranoid tendencies as well as acting as a psychologist under her secret identity, becoming frustrated by her clients' inability to solve their problems. Psycwave also authored a book titled, "Shut Up! Quieting Your Inner Voice" alongside her fellow psychologist Everseer.
Psycwave first discovered her powers when she was in high school, and took the liberty of abusing them. She had a crush on many boys and would manipulate them into breaking up with their girlfriends so she could date them. She was supposedly killed by the Omnidroid v.X1 but Syndrome never actually found the body similar to Mr. Incredible and so it is possible she survived and went into hiding. | |

| A Senior superhero who has the unsettling power of heaving hot lava, which helps him break into some of the most secure locales. As an old man, he gets tired easily and has motion sickness problems, which can be fatal for someone who can barf hot lava. When Reflux is on the offensive, he is the most offensive hero around. | |

| Screech sports an owl-like appearance and can rotate his head 360 degrees. He can fly by using a pair of wings, which he made, to complete his look, but his real power is a high-pitched screech that can break a glass. Because Screech fights crime mostly at night, he is left feeling tired and less focused during the day. | |

| Splashdown was considered to be fiercely independent and obsessed with finding the lost city of Atlantis. His secret identity was being an oceanographer. He was one of several supers who suffered a "Suit Malfunction", since he was sucked into a vortex when his cape got snagged. | |

| Stormicide was devoted to her life as a superhero. She was an excellent multi-tasker, and a graduate student in chemistry. Due to the nature of her powers, Stormicide was the "butt" of many jokes made by other Supers. Despite this, she took it in her stride and often laughed along with them. She was killed by the Omnidroid v.X5 due to her powers being unsuited to the fight. | |

| Stratogale was a teenage superheroine, who spent her everyday life under the secret identity of a typical high school student. She had a love for animals and eventually volunteered at a local zoo's bird hatchery. Sadly, Stratogale fell victim to a "Suit Malfunction". She had just pulled a commercial jet airliner out of a steep dive when her cape got caught in a jet turbine. | |

| Thunderhead was known for his caring attitude towards kids, and also for being easily controlled by his emotions. According to his NSA files, he adopted five children, who he raised with the help of his roommate, Scott. Thunderhead, unfortunately, also had a reputation for low intelligence. His lack of intelligence would prove his undoing when his cape got caught on the fin of a villain's missile. | |

| Universal Man's life had been completely devoted to his superhero career, and therefore he did not possess any secret identity. He and Blazestone formed the "Beta Force," a duo that focused on fighting street crime at night. His role was to use his powers to sow chaos and panic among enemies, driving them out from cover for the less durable Blazestone to attack. He was the first Super to be killed by an Omnidroid in the training sessions of Operation Kronos. | |

| Because of the banning of Superheroes, Voyd felt like an outcast. Being forced to hide her abilities from the world was hard for her until she got her chance to embrace her true self when Winston Deavor set out to bring Superheroes back. As a mega-fan of Elastigirl, Voyd looks up to her as a mentor. She was the one woman in her life who has made her feel hopeful and consider her powers to be a gift and not a curse. | |

Trivia[]
- Plasmabolt was only seen on the bonus disc of The Incredibles, which leaves her fate unknown.
- Thunderhead's name is a play on the word "Dunderhead".
- Dynaguy's cowl is red at Bob and Helen's wedding, but in the scene where Edna states the incidents caused by capes, it is white with a red dorsal fin.
- In a deleted scene (the original opening), it was originally implied that Supers were forbidden by law to marry each other and have children. When Mr. Incredible was caught in a trap set by Syndrome (who was originally a one-off villain who sought revenge against Mr. Incredible), Helen walked in on it, resulting in Syndrome paralyzing her, only to discover that she was actually Elastigirl. Then, he hears the crying of their baby and realizes they have a child, causing Syndrome to say, "You know Supers aren't supposed to breed."
- Two other superheroes were mentioned in the first film.
- Tradewind
- Vectress
- According to Edna Mode, most baby Supers are born with one or two extra powers that they outgrow. However, the babies are not normally born with as many powers as Jack-Jack.
- In the original English version of The Incredibles during the part where the protesters are demanding the superheroes to be banned in the newsreel scene, some of their signs include words that are negative towards superheroes. In the international versions, some of them are replaced with images of superheroes crossed out by a no symbol to get over the language barrier.
