Supers

Supers is a term for superheroes in the world of The Incredibles and Incredibles 2. In the films, each superhero has a random superpower. At the time of the first movie, all superheroes were forced into hiding when the public began suing them for damages when fighting crime. 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. Fifteen years later however, Winston Deavor, CEO of DevTech, started off a campaign that would help Superheroes become legal again, which ended up succeeding.

Over fifteen 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. The second film revealed that there were many other supers who were forced into hiding due to the law.

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 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. He then hears the crying of their baby and realizes they have a child, causing Syndrome to say, "You know Supers aren't supposed to breed."
 * Three other superheroes were mentioned in the first film.
 * Fironic
 * Tradewind
 * Vectress
