Xerek (pronounced "zer-ick") is a villain who was supposed to be the main antagonist in The Incredibles, but was replaced by Syndrome due to the latter's popularity among the producers. However, Xerek would end up retooled for use in the Boom! Studios comic book series as the villain of the ongoing story. Having an uncanny ability to always achieve victory, Xerek became an influential supervillain through his resources and influence. Extending his life through sinister means and technology, Xerek had lived for almost 200 years[1]. He was a boyfriend of Helen before she learned of his activities and she was nearly subjected to becoming a source of energy for another life-extension experiment, which has since lead to Xerek's true age revealing itself. Leading The Unforgivables, a new league of supervillains, Xerek's goals at the moment involve both taking out the family and the rest of the world, having grown tired of his apparent immortality and wanting to take everything down with him.
