Winston Deavor

Winston Deavor is a major character in the 2018 Disney/Pixar animated film Incredibles 2. He is the head of a world-class telecommunications company alongside his genius younger sister, Evelyn Deavor.
==Background==
Winston's parents were big supporters of superheroes. His father, the CEO of a small electronics company called DevTech, was good friends with the heroes Gazerbeam and Fironic, and possessed special phones that acted as direct lines to them in case of emergency, which he loved showing off to the family's friends and associates during parties. Not long after Supers were banned, a pair of robbers broke into the Deavor mansion. Winston, his sister Evelyn, and their mother hurried to the safe room while their father headed to his direct lines to call for help, but received no answer. The robbers discovered the Deavor patriarch and shot him; Winston's mother died a few months later from a broken heart.
Winston always believed that if the Supers had been allowed to continue to help people, his father would still be alive. When they grew up, Winston and his sister inherited the company, and built it into one of the largest telecommunications corporations in the world. They also continued their father's support and decided to take it to the next level, kicking off a campaign to help the Supers' cause. Since the government shut down the program that helps supers, the time was right for the Deavors to step in.
Ultra-wealthy, savvy and suave, Winston goes big in everything he does, including his plan to bring back superheroes. All he needs is a hero (or three) to help him change public perception and eventually make them legal again. His reason for choosing Elastigirl to lead the campaign was because she tends to solve crimes with far less damage than Frozone or her husband, based on cost-benefit analysis by his sister.
Winston believes that the super banned law is what kept supers from coming to his parents' aid, and from stopping the robbers that had broken into their home and killed his father, if they were allowed to go on patrol, answer calls of help and to do their job. Not long afterwards, his mother would die of heartbreak as a result. This led Winston to set himself the task to make them legal again, so no one else would go through what he and his sister have.
===Official Description===
:Winston Deavor leads a world-class telecommunications company alongside his genius sister, Evelyn. Ultra-wealthy, savvy and suave, Winston goes big in everything he does—including his infatuation with Supers. He has been a supporter of Supers returning—all he needs is a hero (or three) to help him change the public’s perception and bring them back into the sunlight.
===Personality===
Winston is determined and confident in what he does. He is a brilliant businessman, and his suavity and charm makes him brilliant at connecting with people. He also seems to be very cosmopolitan, seeing that he convinced Supers from all over the world to leave their old life and join him in his cause. He truly believes that he can use his wealth and power to make the world a better place for everyone.
Despite Winston's enormous amounts of wealth and business connections, seems to be down-to-earth and is able to sympathize with the Supers. Although at first, it seemed that he had some other nefarious — and hidden agenda that is secretly motivating him — this was proven not the case. His sister, Evelyn, revealed that she kept her "Screenslaver" identity a secret because she knew that Winston's strong morals would never permit him to go along with her unscrupulous ways. He later demonstrates this morality when, upon realizing his sister's true intentions, he refuses to escape with her, despite her being the only family left for him. Deciding to reboard the ship that will crash into the city, he risks his life to try and free all the Supers and ambassadors from Evelyn's technological hypnosis all by himself and get them to safety, greatly showing a selfless side to his personality. Presumably, Winston also later explains his sister's activities regarding this crisis to the authorities to ensure her arrest and that the Supers are properly credited for their resolution.
==Role in the film==
Winston first appears during the beginning of the film where he notices the Parr family and Frozone preparing to stop the Underminer's machine from reaching the Town Hall in which the superheroes were unable to stop the out-of-control machine and causing damage towards the Town Hall. After the Superhero Relocation Program is shut down, Frozone, Elastigirl, and Mr. Incredible encounter Winston at DevTech. Meeting him, Winston then explains that after the city of Municiberg has no superheroes for years, he plans to bring back the superheroes to Municiberg so that they can regain their legal status. When Winston plans to do so, he brings Elastigirl to the city of New Urbem where she stops a newly-opened train being controlled by the Screenslaver. He is later seen along with the Ambassador and her daughter Evelyn during the scene where Elastigirl is ready to be interviewed about rescuing the passengers from the train, in which the interview is suddenly taken over by the fake Screenslaver.
Elastigirl then meets Winston in his office where he tells her that the Ambassador made a big speech about superheroes which should be kept legal after saving her from the out-of-control helicopter she is at. Winston then tells her that DevTech will have a conference at sea where she is happy that Winston's plan will make Supers around the world legal again. Elastigirl then explains that she had not caught the fake Screenslaver yet even though she saved the Ambassador. Winston's sister, Evelyn tells her brother to show her the other Supers in Winston's office where Winston and his sister watch Elastigirl mingle with the Supers.
Later when Elastigirl captures the fake Screenslaver, Winston then celebrates her capture and announces his intent to host a summit with the world leaders on his luxury yacht so that superheroes can be officially legalized. However, Evelyn brainwashes Elastigirl, Frozone, and Mr. Incredible with Hypno-goggles along with the other superheroes he flew in from around the world to sabotage the summit by making some of them give a vindictive speech and destroy the ship's controls to ensure it crashes into the city to irreparably tarnish their reputations. Meanwhile, she uses a hypnotic screen to keep Winston, the world leaders and the other superheroes brainwashed. However, Dash, Violet, and Jack-Jack manage to free their parents and Lucius from the Hypno-goggles, who all then subsequently team up to free the other supers under her control. Evelyn then retrieves Winston by taking him out of the room with the screen and tries to bring him with her to safety in a getaway jet. However, realizing what she's done, Winston refuses to go with her and decides to go back to destroy the screen so that the world leaders and other superheroes can be freed form their trance and have the opportunity to escape. Later, after Elastigirl captures Evelyn and she subsequently gets arrested for her crimes while the others successfully stop the yacht from crashing into the city, superheroes are shown regaining their legal statuses, making Winston's campaign to accomplish this a big success.
==Trivia==
*In an early script of Incredibles 2, Winston was a greedy villain beside his cut brother, Nelson Deavor. He was motivated mainly by financial gain for his media company. But Bob Odenkirk's performance was so genuine that Winston was turned into a good guy who wanted Supers to return because he thought the world would be better that way, regardless of his own gain.
*Winston bears a resemblance to his voice actor Bob Odenkirk.
*Winston bears a strong resemblance to his late father when his father was young man.
*Winston is basically a good version of Syndrome, a.k.a. Buddy Pine, from the first film for different reasons:
**They are both wealthy people, though they obtained and used their wealth differently (Buddy obtained his wealth through more shady means by selling his technology to oversea terrorists and he used his money to own a private island and make gadgets that hurt people and supers while Winston obtained his wealth more honestly through his father and inherited his company, which was more well-know and he used his wealth to benefit people and supers).
**They are both fans of Supers but they handle their fandom differently (Buddy was obnoxious to supers (more specifically Mr. Incredible) as he did not honor Mr. Incredible's wish to leave him alone and this immaturity soon led him down the path of villainy where he killed off the supers while Winston was more mature and respectful to supers and genuinely wanted to help them).
***This may have to do with the fact that Buddy was younger and lacking in mature functions while Winston is an adult and fully capable of being mature.
**They were both betrayed by a female companion they had for alternate reasons (Mirage betrayed Buddy out of a good conscience and Evelyn betrayed Winston out of a spiteful dislike for Supers).
