Mrs. Incredible (Ops Moniker)

Thomas Hughes (Youngest Child/Youngest Son)

## **History**

### **Shannon Tessa Smith: 1970 - 1988**

Shannon was born in Columbus, Georgia the youngest child of Johnathan and Vivian Smith. She has over 13 siblings. Johnathan and Vivian even though they were born superhumans. They were strongly against using powers for any purpose and all they wanted was a normal life. Her parents always warned her to be extremely cautious about her powers. So Shannon kept her powers secret but still practiced with them in secret. As she grew up, she took an interest in the aircraft station where her father worked. She would accompany him and learn to work with the planes, to fly them, and to be a mechanic. By the time she was 17, she was an expert, and her parents were beginning to disapprove of her superpower habits and interests.

They wanted her to conform to normal roles the way her siblings did. One night, Shannon and her older sister Dorothy had a great fight about it, and Shannon ended up packing her things and leaving home. She joined the army, where she was placed to work as a pilot with more experienced mechanic Herman “Hawk” Porter. Hawk was a calm, easygoing, and reliable partner and the two became fast friends, even to the point where Shannon showed him her powers.

### **Elastic Woman: 1988 - 1994**

Hawk was impressed and told her they’d be sure to come in handy someday. He was right; one day when he and Shannon were flying a helicopter, a small plane swerved out of orbit nearby. Shannon spotted what was wrong with the engine and used her powers to launch herself over to the plane, where she fixed the engine in midair, saving the passengers. One of the passengers was an NSA agent. He approached Shannon after and offered her a position in Malibu as one of their superheroes. Elated, Shannon was discharged from the army and moved to California to start training. It was rocky at first adjusting, particularly since she struggled to find a costume that would hold up under the strain of fighting, but eventually, Rowan Danger commissioned Erza Method to make her a suit, and Shannon became Elastic Woman the public adored her and she did a great job, making many friends in the super community. Shannon also attracted many suitors during this time, as popular as she was. She tries to explore and join different superhero teams but none of her partners were serious.

Shannon almost got into a committed partnership with Apogee, the gravity-altering superheroine, but the other woman was afraid of commitment and backed out before they could seal the deal. However, Shannon's life changed when Mr. Incredible entered the scene and rose to the top as America’s golden boy very quickly. Jealous at his fame, Shannon assumed he was an egotistical jerk. When he began stepping into her part of town to interfere with her fights, she reacted as such and tore him a new one.

However, Mr. Incredible— Damian Hughes— then confessed that he had genuine feelings for her and had been trying to impress her with his exploits. Shannon's anger cooled down and they became friends, soon after that, lovers. Barely a year later, they got married. Shannon even invited her family to the wedding. The couple was very happy together, but soon after the lawsuits from the public began to fall on the NSA, and public outcry forced the supers into hiding.

### **Shannon Tessa Smith-Hughes: 2002 - 2006**

Shannon bears her first child named Jasper. She becomes a homemaker who does her best to unify her family and help them adjust to a normal life. But they lost their first home after one of her husband's old adversary tracked them down resulting in a fight which thankfully the villain died in the explosion and the family was able to survive.

### **Shannon Tessa Smith Hughes: 2006 - 2010**

Shannon bears her second child named Maxine her only girl. She becomes a homemaker who does her best to unify her family and help them adjust to a normal life. But Maxine was egged on by her father to run through the neighborhood causing a giant windstorm with her powers destroying the house and neighborhood as well resulting in them to move.

### **Shannon Tessa Smith Hughes: 2010 - 2014**

Shannon bears her last child Thomas. Having three children, named Jaxson, Maxine, and Tommy. She becomes a homemaker who does her best to unify her family and help them adjust to a normal life. She only uses her superpowers in private for convenience. Damian, however, does not adjust well to civilian life. Shannon eventually discovers his clandestine crime-fighting with Frozone (Leonard Black), using the cover story that they're going bowling. This results in a marital conflict between Shannon and Damian.

Damian is fired from his job at Insuricare after he loses his temper with his boss and injures him by throwing him through several walls. Soon after his termination, he is lured by Mirage to Surge's private island, Patroklos Island, under the ruse of an assignment, in which Mr. Incredible must disable a formidable weapon called the Omnidroid 08. Damian begins taking on more assignments on the island, telling Shannon all the while that he is attending Insuricare conferences out of town. After resuming hero work, Damian's temperament at home changes dramatically for the better. He gets back in shape and spends more quality time with Shannon and their children. Shannon finds a strand of platinum-blonde hair on Damian's clothes, and she becomes suspicious when she hears Damian talking on the phone to his contact, Mirage.

### **Mrs. Incredible: 2014 - 2015**

Mr. Incredible is lured once more to the island by Surge, who secretly intends to kill him. Meanwhile back at home, Shannon notices the new patch on Damian's old super suit and contacts Erza, who insists upon seeing Shannon immediately. She shows Shannon all of the super suits, and Shannon is furious at Erza for helping Damian resume secret hero work behind her back. Erza, who was unaware that he was hiding anything from Shannon, informs Shannon of the homing device she included in each super suit. Shannon uses it to locate Damian and is briefly overcome with emotion, convinced that Damian is cheating on her.

Erza snaps her out of it, smacking her furiously with a newspaper and encouraging her to go to him and win him back. An accomplished pilot, Shannon borrows a jet from Hawk, her pilot from the Golden Days, to journey to the island and find her husband. During the flight, she finds Jasper and Maxine stowed away. Surge sends missiles in response to her request to land on the island and the plane is destroyed, with the transmission of Shannon's pleas to call off the missiles playing in the containment unit where Damian is being held. Shannon uses her body as a parachute, and with the help of her new, indestructible super suit, saves herself and her children from the wreckage. They land safely in the water, and Shannons morphs her body into a boat, which is propelled by Maxine's super-speed and carries Jaxson to land. Mirage confirms the destruction of the jet, leaving Damian to believe his family has been killed.

Shannon and the children seek shelter in a cave, where Shannon tells Maxine and Jaxson that she is afraid their father is in trouble and instructs them to stay hidden while she goes to look for him. She warns both Jaxson and Maxine that the enemies that shot their plane down are merciless killers, and urges them to use their powers to protect themselves at all costs. Jaxson apologizes for not being able to protect the plane but Shannon replies, saying that it was asking too much of him. Shannon also tries to bolster Jaxson's confidence by telling him that he has more power than he realizes, and not to worry or think because he will do the right thing when the time comes.

Shannon leaves the cave to save Damian. She uses her quick thinking skills and elasticity to make her way to the containment unit where her husband is being held captive. On the way, she looks at herself in a hallway mirror and notes that she has put on weight since she retired from superhero work. She runs into Surge's security guards but defeats several of them at once while her body is caught between two sets of sliding automatic doors by kicking one, using her abdomen unintentionally to knock out two others and punching two more to knock them out and obtain the keycard to the doors to free herself. She takes the unconscious guards to a locker and hides them.

Mirage, disillusioned by Surge's narcissism and callousness, frees Mr. Incredible and tells her his family survived the crash. Flooded with relief and gratitude, he draws Mirage into an embrace right as Shannon enters the room. Shannon, livid, delivers an extended punch from the doorway, knocking Mirage to the ground, believing Damian has been unfaithful to her. Damian grasps her extended arm and pulls her in as quickly as he can. Shannon resists, but of course, is no match for his strength, and he kisses her passionately, asking her how she could think he would ever betray "the perfect woman." Mirage urges them to hurry because their children are in danger, and Damian and Shannon escape into the jungle to find them. Meanwhile, Jaxson and Maxine are attacked by Surge's security force but manage to evade them using their powers. The children and Damian and Shannon run into each other along the way and continue to fight the security forces until Surge arrives and recaptures the family. Surge, recognizing Shannon as Elastic Woman, is surprised to see that Damian married her and had a family with her.

Back in the containment unit, Surge reveals that he intends to use his latest Omnidroid model to attack the city of Metroville, and then orchestrate a rescue, in which he appears to defeat the immense weapon, which is in reality under his control. The Hughes escape again and manage to journey back to Metroville with the help of Mirage, where they, along with Frozone, destroy the Omnidroid v.10 and save the city once again.

Back at their house, they are again confronted by Surge, who tries to kidnap Thomas. Syndrome uses his rocket boots to reach his plane, and Thomas reveals his shape-shifting powers in mid-air to overcome Surge. Shannon orders Damian to throw her into the air and she catches Tommy, using her body as a parachute once again to return them safely to the ground. Damian throws his car at Surge's plane, and Surge is killed when his cape is sucked into the turbine of his private jet, also resulting in the explosion of his plane.

Three months later, Shannon is seen with the rest of the family cheering on Maggie at her school's sports day where she finished second. With the threat of The Underminer looming in the city afterward, Shannon is seen wearing her mask as she joins the family in the fight against the villain.

### **Mrs. Incredible: 2015 - Present**

Elastic Woman helps her family attempt to defeat the Underminer, though he escapes. They manage to save the Malibu town hall, however, they are arrested by the police and require Rick Dicker to bail them out. Dicker escorts them to a motel that they will live in until they find a new home. He tells Shannon and Damian that the Super Relocation Program has been shut down and they can only stay at the motel for two weeks. At dinner, she argues against fighting crime against, telling her family that the law dictates they cannot do so.

That night, Frozone shows up to the motel and escorts them to DevTech. There, they meet William Endeavor and his sister Evelyn. The Endeavors tell them that they are going to come up with a campaign to make Supers legal again and they want Elastic Woman to be the public face of it since she causes the least collateral damage. Shannon is reluctant to accept but Damian urges her to do so as their choice is to accept the offer and try to make themselves legal again or remain illegal and become homeless.

Shannon and her family move into a luxurious mansion provided by William. She is given a grey super-suit modeled after her original Elastic Woman suit and designed by Alexander Galbaki, but bemoans how 'dark' it looks. In the garage, she is shown a new Elasticycle and marvels it, noting it is electric-powered. She says goodbye to Damian and rides off to find crime to fight. Evelyn tells her via the bike's radio that there is a high chance of trouble at the Manhattan train line opening. On her way there, she encounters some boisterous fans in a car, to who she is gracious toward.

Elastic Woman arrives at the train station and watches the Manhattan train take off for the first time. However, it stops and starts traveling the wrong way. Elastic Woman gives chase, asking Evelyn if there's any way the train can be stopped, to no avail. During the chase, Maxine calls her, asking where his shoes are since he lost them, to which she tells him to look under his bed. She continues to give chase to the runaway train, but must ditch her bike as the train reaches a tunnel, leading to the bike exploding when it its the wall above the tunnel entrance. After it exits the tunnel, she manages to split the train in two and pulls the front half of it in her parachute form just before it falls off the end of the track. Just as Elastic Woman thought she was finished, the other half of the train shunts into the front half and leaves the front half teetering over the edge. Elastic Woman goes inside the train to check on the passengers and driver, but sees that the driver was hypnotized by the Screenslaver. He transmits a welcome message on the screen to Elastic Woman, announcing himself to her. That night, she rings Damian to tell him she saved a runaway train, to which Damian congratulates her through gritted teeth, hiding his jealousy.

Elastic Woman attends an interview regarding the campaign to revoke anti-Super laws. Before the interview, she meets Ambassador Selick, who tells Elastic Woman she is the 'gold standard' of superheroes. Her interview with Chad Brentley starts smoothly until he is hypnotized by the Screenslaver, along with the recording crew. A hypnotized Chad tells Elastic Woman that the ambassador's helicopter could be hijacked by the Screenslaver, so she uses a chair to break a window to quickly leave the building and get to the helicopter. She initially boards the wrong helicopter, but is shown which one the Ambassador is on. She commandeers the aircraft and stabilises it, then pushes the crew out of the helicopter and into a river. Since the ambassador cannot swim, Elastic Woman uses her parachute form to jump while holding her. She asks the ambassador if she is fine, to which she says she is, but then faints from shock.

The following day, Elastic Woman attends a rally celebrating her efforts to improve the reputation of Supers. She appears grateful for the support until a young girl holds up a placard reminding her that Screenslaver is still at large. She reports to WIlliam's office and claims that she is happy with the progress that has been made, but William senses that she is uneasy. She is worried since Screenslaver is still out there, but Evelyn tells her to stop worrying, and shows her a room where several 'wannabe' Supers are conversing. Voyd is immediately ecstatic to meet her hero Elastic Woman, and fumbles over her words. She shows off her ability to create portals, which impresses Elastic Woman. Elastic Woman then converses with the other wannabe supers, who also show their powers off. She then talks to Evelyn, who talks about how she invents stuff while William is the face of the company. This gives Elastic Woman an idea, which is for Evelyn to build a device to track down the Screenslaver, and fist bump each other in celebration.

Another interview is arranged with Chad Brentley, only this time Elastic Woman is perched on top of a telecommunications tower. Soon after it starts, she picks up a signal, and locates the direction of Screenslaver's lair. She makes her way towards the lair, and enters an apartment building through a window a few stories high. After looking at around for a few seconds, the Screenslaver reveals himself and a fight ensues. They trade blows until Screenslaver decides to activate a time bomb and escape from the apartment. Elastic Woman gives chase until she corners him, tackling him out of the window and using her parachute form to carry him safely to the ground. Screenslaver is revealed to be a pizza delivery boy, and is arrested by the police.

The next night, a celebration of Screenslaver's capture is held at Devtech. William gives a speech, saying that representatives from all over the world will meet on the Everjust, William's superyacht, to sign an accord legalizing Supers. Elastic Woman is called to the stage to give a word for the occasion, and then meets Voyd, who starts asking for advice. Elastic Woman is distracted by the screens around the auditorium showing the Screenslaver, and decides to investigate the video of her capturing him. Evelyn enters the room, checking up on her. Elastic Woman ponders why one of Screenslaver's monitors was tuned into her suit cam. Just as she figures out the pizza delivery guy was hypnotised by screens built into glasses, Evelyn puts a pair of hypno-goggles on her.

Elastic Woman wakes up with the goggles turned off, realising she has been captured by Evelyn. Evelyn tells her not to use her elasticity to break free since the chamber she is in is extremely cold, which makes her body brittle. Evelyn makes her intentions clear, telling her that she made a mistake by trusting someone that she just met, and that Evelyn will use her to keep supers illegal forever. Evelyn rings Damian to tell him that his wife is in trouble, so he decides to suit up and go to Devtech, but not before asking Lucius to look after the kids. Once at Devtech, Evelyn leads him to Elastic Woman, but she attacks him. After he reminds her of who he is, Elastic Woman kisses him, but this was so that it was easy to place a pair of hypno-goggles on him.

A hypnotised Elastic Woman boards the Everjust with Evelyn and the other hypnotised supers, which now includes Frozone. As part of the super legalization ceremony, Elastic Woman, Mr. Incredible and Frozone are in attendance, with William thinking they will give speeches in celebration. However, Evelyn hypnotizes everyone else at the ceremony so that Elastic Woman can give a speech that puts supers in a bad light. The three supers proclaims that supers have grown tired of having to hide and of the flaws of non-supers, and that only the fittest will survive. Elastic Woman tips over the camera, leaving Chad Brentley confused.

The three supers are directed by Evelyn to the superyacht's bridge, where they knock the sailors unconscious. Evelyn tells Elastic Woman to steer the superyacht so that it is facing Malibu, then Mr. Incredible destroys the control panel. The Parr children enter the bridge and are immediately attacked by their parents and Frozone, but are protected by Jasper's force field. Jack-Jack floats into his mother's hands, but does not receive any affection from her. Jack-Jack notices the hypno-goggles and uses his telekinesis power to dislodge them from his mother's eyes, freeing her of hypnosis. She gives him to Jasper and frees Mr. Incredible and Frozone of their hypnosis. Elastic Woman hugs her children, but is interrupted by Frozone asking where they are. The hypnotized wannabe supers enter the bridge, who fight the other supers. Elastic Woman helps her family and Frozone free the wannabe supers of their hypnosis, with the exception except for Krushauer, who is dealt with by Mr. Incredible.

While the others focus on stopping the superyacht from crashing into the city, Elastic Woman chases after Evelyn's jet, and is teleported into it through Voyd's portal. Once she encounters Evelyn, Evelyn steers roughly to throw her around the cabin. Evelyn taunts her as she feels the effects of hypoxia, but as Evelyn keeps talking, she sees a flare gun. She shoots Evelyn's oxygen tank, which propels her out of the jet. Elastic Woman pilots the jet and figures out her bearings, then jumps out of the jet to catch a falling Evelyn. Evelyn breaks free, not wanting to be saved by her enemy, but is grabbed again by Elastic Woman. She uses her parachute form and Voyd's portal to safely land on the superyacht, just before it reaches the city. Frozone's ice protects the buildings from damage and Evelyn's plan is thwarted. Afterwards, William thanks Elastic Woman for saving her sister. Elastic Woman is present at the courthouse as the Super Relocation Act is officially repealed, enabling supers to resume hero work freely.

The Hughes family and Tina Rydinger are in a new family car on their way to the cinema. Damian and Shannon claim they will not be watching Jasper and Tina in the cinema, though Damian winks in the rear view mirror. Two cars engaged in a shootout drive past once they get to the cinema. Shannon and her family prepare to intervene, though not before Jasper shoves Tina out of the car and tells him they will be back before the previews finish. The car transforms into a redesigned Incredibile, and drives off towards the shootout.

## **Appearance**

Shannon is in her mid forties and she is 5'6" (172 cm) in height and is 113 pounds (56 kg) in weight. She has dark skin, rosy cheeks, pink lips, black hair and brown eyes. In her glory days as Elastic Woman, she had died her hair reddish and a slim, athletic figure, with the exception of rather wide hips. She wore a light grey leotard with a black and white "E"/"W" insignia on the chest, with a scarlet headband, mask, and belt, long scarlet gloves, and thigh-high scarlet boots.

After fifteen years of forced retirement and three children, Shannon wears her hair in a more manageable medium bob, and much to her chagrin carries a little extra weight on her abdomen, hips, and buttocks. Following Mr. Incredible's secret return to hero work, the family's old friend and designer extraordinaire Erza Method designs a new super suit for him, along with matching suits for Shannon and their three children. Shannon's "Mrs. Incredible" super suit is a red leotard with an orange, black and yellow "I" insignia on the chest that houses a homing device, along with a black mask, long black gloves, black bottoms, an orange belt, and thigh-high black boots.

When Shannon is tapped to lead a campaign to bring the supers back, she gets a new suit designed by Alexander Galbaki. The suit has a silver leotard with a magenta belt and a magenta "EW" insignia on the chest, with a black eye mask and black gloves and thigh-high boots. However, the suit gets ripped on the shoulder near the end of the film on the EverJust, and she reverts back to her red "Mrs. Incredible" suit.

## **Personality**

Shannon is an intellectual who prefers to examine foes and if possible negotiate with them before actually fighting them. She is often intrigued by the scientific implications of a problem, so much so that she almost forgets there is a problem in the first place. As Damian once put it, "...if an alien stubbed his toe, Shannon would want to spend ten years studying it." Shannon is an extremely likable woman who keeps a pleasant smile on her face and cares deeply about those she is close to, particularly her extended family. However, she does occasionally lapse into depression and self-hatred over long-standing unsolved problems. Shannon is a humanitarian who will try to prevent any intelligent being from suffering. This can lead him to do controversial things that fly in the face of all apparent logic.

## **Powers, Abilities, and Weaknesses**

### **Powers**

**Superpowered Physiology (Superhero):** Shannon is a human who inherited from her parents something known as the S-Gene, which in turn micromutates her to allow her to have superpowers.

* **Elasticity:** Mrs. Incredible possesses the ability to convert the mass of her entire body into a highly malleable state at will. Her body's respiration and circulatory systems function work properly at these distorted extremes. Mrs. Incredible (depending on the complexity of the shape), and revert to her normal humanoid shape within a similar time. Mrs. Incrdible cells manifest mutable properties due to the fact that she is able to expand her bodily mass and body length throughout her body. On a molecular level, Ms. Incredible does this process by accelerating her cell count without causing any ill-effect to her body Mrs. Incredible has already been shown to be a bit of a big eater, with a love for high-carb snacks like Chocolate, her body converts these foods and their energy for use as part of her power -- though unlike Fat, the extra calories don't show up until she activates Elasticity, breaking the law of conservation of mass. Mrs. Incredible's transformation to a malleable state is reflexive and nearly instantaneous: if she was at her normal form and taken unaware by machine-gun fire, her body would still absorb the bullets' impact through radical deformation. Smith has been observed as being able to utilize her stretching form in a variety of offensive and defensive manners, such as compressing herself into a ball and ricocheting into enemies, flattening herself into a trampoline or a parachute to catch a falling teammate, or inflating herself into a life raft to aid in a water rescue. She can willfully reduce her body's cohesion until she reaches a fluid state, which can flow through minute openings or into tiny pipes. Shannon is also able to shape her hands into hammer and mace style weapons and concentrate her mass into her fists to increase their density and effectiveness as weapons. She can flatten herself to the thickness of a sheet of vellum. By lowering the cohesion of her body through relaxation, she can enter into a semi-liquid state and bypass sealed openings or enter through pipes. Due to Shannon's distaste for collateral damage, she will usually wrap an opponent up in her body to attempt to control and compromise with them. To trap an opponent, she can also flatten her body and smother her opponent until they give in. Through years of practice and a healthy regimen, she has become used to it and retains a greater degree of finesse with her elasticity. This affords her the ability to hold tremendous amounts of weight, usually falling rubble or dozens of people, with ease.
	+ **Supernatural Durability:** Due to the great malleability and elasticity of her molecular structure, Mrs. Incredible is able to absorb the impact of any type of man-made ballistic projectile by deforming her body along the path of the projectile's trajectory at the point of initial impact. She can be punched with incredible force, flattened, squished, and still re-form or survive without any form of sufficient injury. In fact, it was revealed that it was Mrs. Incredible, despite being in a weakened state, who protected all the heroes other than Bulldozer from the impact of the 150 billion ton mountain falling on them before Bulldozer caught the mountain. Mrs. Incredible's skin is virtually impervious to laceration or punctures unless she willfully relaxes her reflexive control over small areas of her body. In that case, scalpels and ordinary needles can penetrate her skin.
		- **Explosion Immunity:** Mrs. Incredible may use her elastic form to contain explosions by enveloping them and allowing their force to expand her. She can enclose and absorb the energy of a large explosive, on the order of 8 to 12 pounds of TNT (excluding exotic, high-density explosives).
		- **Attack Reversal & Impact Absorption:** After her body absorbs the kinetic energy of a ballistic projectile's impact, Mrs. Incredible can expel the object back along its trajectory by flexing her body like a trampoline if she is adequately braced. She can reflect sharp weapons such as bullets, darts, knives, etc as if her body were a trampoline.
		- **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Shannon is capable of rapidly healing from injuries such as bullet wounds. Her body's natural elasticity affords her great resilience in that being flattened, squished, bashed, chewed on, and pummeled will have no lasting effects, and she momentarily reforms; even being shot point-blank in the face or any part of her body, while discomforting, will have no lasting damage as he just reflates into normal.
	+ **Limb Extension:** Mrs. Incredible can extend her limbs, torso, or neck to great distances: the maximum length she can distend her body segments is around 1,500 feet. (Although she can extend discrete body parts, such as a single finger, an ear, or an eye, her toes if ever isolates such parts in her elongations.). Though in some cases, she has stretched or been stretched past this limit and still managed to push through the discomfort.
		- **Enhanced Strength** **(Constriction):** Mrs. Incredible may restrain opponents very efficiently by using her elastic form to entangle them.
		- **Enhanced Athleticism (Climbing & Swinging):** Mrs. Incredible can move at great speeds by stretching to her destination.
	+ **Shapeshifting:** Mrs. Incredible can stretch, deform, expand, or compress her entire body or parts into any contiguous shape she can imagine for a variety of uses. Shay's control over her shape has been developed to such a point that she has been able to radically alter her facial features and her entire physical form to pass among human and non-humans unnoticed and unrecognized. She has even molded herself into the shapes of inanimate objects, such as a mailbox. She rarely uses her powers in such an undignified fashion. However, she appears to have no qualms about stretching out her ears, taking the shape of a dinosaur, becoming a human trampoline, or inflating her hands into pool toys to entertain her children. Shay can also change her appearance by force of will, like "aging" herself, altering her body composition, inflating her body like a balloon, stretching to become vastly taller, imitating a goofy expression to entertain her children, and once even took on the appearance of a bloodthirsty alien (though the sheer concentration and effort it took to maintain the form caused her to drop it soon after). Her body's elasticity enables her to shift into inanimate objects, ala a parachute, cube, wheel, trampoline, spring, or container. Some enable her to hide while others serve either the purpose of getting somewhere or aiding someone; as a trampoline, she can cushion the fall of others, and as a parachute save those falling towards the ground. When Shay becomes a ball, she can increase the speed at which she propels herself or simply bounce across space. She can concentrate her elasticity into one area of her body. For example, it can all go to her fist, making it an effective offensive weapon. This can increase her strength and size considerably, as she did in the instance where she went up against Devastator.
		- **Malleable Anatomy:** Mrs. Incredible may alter her basic physical features, allowing her to take on the appearance of any other woman with similar hair and skin tone.
		- **Bodily Mass Manipulation & Personal Density (Muscle Mass):** One time, Mrs. Incredible actually increased her size and mass density, in effect bulking her body to "Mr. Incredible"-like proportions while increasing her strength to the same levels as well. The force of her strikes was enough to stagger even Devastator.
		- **Personal Dimension (Flat Body & Slow Decent):** Mrs. Incredible can flatten herself to the thickness of an average sheet of typing paper (.0035 inch) or narrow herself to a diameter small enough to pass through the eye of a #10 beading needle (about .045 x .06 inches). Mrs. Incredible can extend her body in two directions, creating a canopy, parachute, or sheath, its thickness determined by the extent of its distention.
		- **Patagia Manifestation (Gliding):** Mrs. Incredible can transform herself into aerodynamic shapes such as parachutes or hang-gliders. In this form, she can support an additional 1000 pounds (enough to hold the rest of The Incredibles, even Mr. Incredible).
		- **Inflation:** Mrs. Incredible may form her elastic form into a trampoline and other cushion-like objects, allowing her to safely catch falling people and objects.
		- **Slingshot:** Mrs. Incredible may use her elastic form as a slingshot to hurl objects with great force.
		- **Geometric Physiology:** Mrs. Incredible has compressed her body into the shape of a solid sphere, a cylinder, a cube, a toroid, and a rectangular prism: she can assume the shape of any solid that she can envision clearly, of a volume no greater than 1.7 cubic feet (a sphere about 18 inches in diameter). She can generate thin-walled shapes that enclose great volumes of space.
		- **Spring Form & Spherical Form:** Mrs. Incredible can transform herself into any of a number of resilient shapes, such as balls or springs that allow her to leap or bounce great distances.
		- **Organic Constructs (Weapon Hands):** Mrs. Incredible may form her fists into large hammers, maces, etc., which improve her physical effectiveness in hand-to-hand combat.
		- **Lock-Picking (Key Mimicry):** Mrs. Incredible may form her fingers into various types of keys, allowing her to open most forms of mechanical locks.
		- **Fan Mimicry:** Mrs. Incredible may form her hands into fans, allowing her to generate wind by twirling them at great speeds.
		- **Liquid Mimic**r**y****:** Mrs. Incredible can willfully reduce her body into an almost liquid state in order to flow out of small cracks or passages, even though needle-sized holes.
		- **Enhanced Lung Capacity:** She can expand her lungs allowing her to hold her breath longer.
		- **Brain Augmentation:** Mrs. Incredible strength comes more from the powers of her mind than the powers of her body; indeed, she once told Cliffhanger that he considers her stretching powers to be expendable compared to her intellect. Her intellect may have been boosted by her powers. same issue show Shay "inflating" her skull as he calculates the power output of Shock & Awe. Even shortening the distance between the synapses in her brain allowing her to process thought of impossible speeds. She has also shown that she can stretch her brain, cerebellum.

**Infection-Based Powers:** When she gets a cold and inadvertently
causing her own natural superpowers to be updated to their maximum potential.
* **Shapeshifting:**Elastic Woman is able to psionically alter the formation of her biological cells at will, allowing her to shapeshift into any human, animal, humanoid, or semi-humanoid being of either sex. Her body can also mimic any kind of clothing, as well as other materials, producing shoes, glasses, watches, etc. She is able to imitate retinas, fingerprints, and voice patterns perfectly. She developed the ability to alter and completely conceal her scent. Shannon can mimic the physical capabilities of whatever form she takes, gaining the power of flight as a bird, fangs, and claws like a wolf, etc. She is able to change her mass, has become a number of small, animal shapes, and once pretended to be a statue in the foyer of the Hughes Manor.
	+ **Personal Size Manipulation:** Shannon has the ability to enhance the size and mass of her body to varying degrees. While her stable limit is around 300 feet tall and 5 tons, there is no known unstable limit to her powers. It is believed that she can "borrow" this extra mass from her calories. While she normally assumes larger sizes with her mass, they are not necessarily exclusively synchronized, As a result, Shannon can draw in extra mass to inflate her muscles without increasing her vertical height and can grow to two dozen feet tall without altering her weight.
		- **Limb Expansion:** Shay can expand her limbs, torso, or neck to great sizes.
		- **Superhuman Strength:** Without altering her size or mass, Shannon is able to easily lift as much weight as enhanced persons such as Cliffhanger (NSA Class III: two to five tons (4,000 pounds US to 10,000 pounds US; 1,814.36 kilograms to 4,535.92 kilograms). When altering her mass, Shannon can reach NSA Strength Classification levels as high as Class V or VI. At her stable maximum height, Shannon can lift comparable weight to Meta Man strength (Class VII and VIII).
		- **Superhuman Senses:** Shannon's sense of sight, taste, hearing, touch, and smell are glaringly, obviously, and super/unnaturally more acute than other humans. Shannon can see kilometers away with an immense resolution, track things too fast for the natural eye, hear through dense walls perfectly, listen to sweat drop from someone's face in another room, smell anything over vast distances up to and including individual molecules/atoms, taste the smallest details to the extent of distinguishing at a molecular level, and feel the slightest vibration in the air, ground, and water.
		- **Superhuman Speed:** Though most people think that Shannon is quite slow when in her enlarged state, that is completely false. She maintains her normal reflexes and due to the length of her stride, she can cover an incredible amount of ground in a short period of time. Shannon does tend to move with more deliberation out of concern for the environment and the shorter people around her, which is likely where this myth of being a slow giant originated.
		- **Invulnerability:** Without altering her size or mass, Shannon's skin is extremely dense and if she is tensed up, her skin with deflect blades wielded by non-enhanced persons and even some low-caliber bullets or arrowheads which are not straight-on direct shots. If Shannon has enhanced her mass, she can become bulletproof to anything beyond the highest caliber rounds and can even shrug off some explosive forces (having once shielded the Team from a missile strike).

**Weaknesses**
**Sickness:** It still a disease and when contacted it has similar properties to the flu such as vomiting, body temperature, snot, and soar throat.

### **Abilities**

**N.S.A Training:** She has been rigorously trained to superhuman conditioning, most notably in the areas of speed, strength, agility, reflexes, intelligence, instincts and stamina. She is a highly trained martial artist, spy, and gymnast, making her a valuable asset on the battlefield. She is also a master of disguise and research/espionage.

She utilize elasticity with her physical combat, granting her impressive selection offensive and defensive abilities depending on the her inventiveness with her unique physical properties. Such as constructing, slipshoting her punches, and increasing her size with momentum.

### **Equipment**

**Dark Suit:** She was given an outfit like her original one but silver, with longer sleeves, black boots, gloves, and mask instead of red, a red "e" instead of a black one, and the addition of dark grey leggings and a red "belt". She eventually gave up this suit and she felt it was too "dark and angsty". Her suits can stretch as far as she can.

**Light Suit (Original):** Initially, she wore a white one-piece suit with short sleeves and no legs and a black lowercase "e" insignia, with red boots, gloves and mask. Her suits can stretch as far as she can.

**Incredibles Suit:** This suit tore, and Erza Method designed a new suit: a tight one-piece red suit with an orange "belt", black boots, gloves, and mask, a black crutch, and an insignia of a yellow lowercase "i" in a black circle with a yellow edge. This suit, and her family's, are thermal proof, bulletproof, expolosin-proff and rip-proof; and came with a tracking device. Her suits can stretch as far as she can.

### **Weaknesses**

**Power Instability:** The greater the distance she stretches or the more extended the size of the object she becomes, the weaker her overall strength becomes. However, the use of her other powers interrupts the healing process, requiring Shannon to maintain her normal appearance while recovering. Extensive healing also leaves Shannon heavily-fatigued and hungry.

**Durability Limitation (Piercing):** Shannon is extremely resistant to blunt force attacks and has a vast tolerance for pain. However, she is more vulnerable to piercing weapons, such as knives and swords. Even though she protected all the heroes other than Bulldozer from the impact of the 150 billion ton mountain falling on them before Bulldozer caught the mountain although the strain caused her to pass out.

**Extreme Temperatures: (Cold & Heat):** Like a rubber band, Elastic Woman can be weakened in extreme temperatures. For example, if Elastic Woman is exposed to extreme cold, she will be unable to use her powers. Much like how rubber breaks when it's frozen, the same principle will happen to her if she tries to stretch in freezing temperatures. Another case is if Elastic Woman is exposed to high heat, she becomes weak and starts to destabilize her, to then lose concession and "melting".
