John Parr

Violet Parr (Oldest Sister)

Dashiell Parr (Older Brother)

For the first year of his life, Jack-Jack didn't seem to exhibit any signs of powers, presumably being too immature for superpowers to manifest. But it is revealed that he has powers at the end. They are shape-shifting and setting on fire. The end of the movie is the only time he wears his suit.

In *The Incredibles*, when the rest of his family was occupied with Syndrome, Jack-Jack was looked after by Kari McKeen. But her determination to have some fun ended with trouble when Jack-Jack began showing signs of his powers which she tries to control and eventually anticipates. Later, Syndrome shows up, claiming he's the replacement baby sitter. When Syndrome attempts to openly kidnap Jack-Jack and fly away, Jack-Jack uses his powers to defend himself against Syndrome, ultimately resulting in a chain reaction of events that would lead to Syndrome's demise.

Edna Mode made costumes for the entire family, including a flame-retardant jumper for Jack-Jack which, ironically enough, is needed as Jack-Jack has the ability to burst into flames and become bulletproof, though this being done before the family could determine the full extent of Jack-Jack's powers. Edna will presumably modify the costume to accommodate all of Jack-Jack's abilities.

### ***Jack-Jack Attack***

"*The baby was exploding! You ever seen an exploding baby before, Mr. Dicker?!*"
—Kari McKeen to Rick Dicker

Jack-Jack is the titular protagonist in the short film.

Rick Dicker interrogates Kari, who had been having trouble trying to control Jack-Jack.

Later on, she says she wishes she could just forget the whole thing, and Dicker reassures her that she will, and uses a device to erase her memory.

### ***Incredibles 2***

"*You...have...POWERS! Yeah, baby! And there's not a scratch on you! Did you go right through the locked door? Are those your powers? Haha! You can multiply like rabbits and go right through any... solid...*"
—Bob Parr, upon discovering that Jack-Jack has powers following the latter's fight with a raccoon

In the sequel, a large number of Jack-Jack's other powers and abilities are more openly displayed. He first shows his powers in a fight with Rocky, to the awe of his father. He later uses his powers on the Everjust to help free the hypnotized Supers.

## **Appearance**

Jack-Jack is small, albeit at the average size for a baby as he stands 2'6". He has a single tuft of strawberry-blonde hair on his head and blue eyes. Although he is usually seen in a yellow onesie during his on-screen appearances in the film, he also has a red super-suit with a black mask.

When Jack-Jack transforms into a little monster, his skin turns red and gains sharp fangs and claws, that he can use to defend himself and look intimidating.

Mozart's music will trigger Jack-Jack into manifesting his powers, which Edna Mode uses to design a new suit that has sensors and a hand-held monitor, which alerts his family to upcoming use of his powers and allows them to counter them quickly. His powers and abilities are significant enough for his siblings to use him as a third member of a rescue team.

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

### **Powers**

**Super Physiology:**Jack-Jack ispart of a race of humans who were born with or given superpowers. Jack-Jack is incredibly powerful Super at a young age. It was highly assumed that his threat rating of 8.6. Despite being the youngest member of the Parr family, Jack-Jack has displayed the widest array of superhuman abilities. Many of these abilities center around shapeshifting, and he is able to operate multiple abilities simultaneously. Due to his age, he doesn't yet have complete control over his abilities, which are triggered primarily by emotion and whim. Edna Mode classified Jack-Jack as a polymorph, likening his many powers to him being a baby, and thus having limitless potential. When Helen becomes annoyed that she missed Jack-Jack's first display of power, Bob humorously remarks that she missed "the first seventeen".

* **Power-Shifting:** Jack-Jack has finally stuck to one power Shapeshifting well better known as Polymorphing. More than simply shape-shifting, Jack-Jack can manipulate his physical properties to achieve a variety of effects. So far he has displayed the following abilities:
	+ **Mimicry:** He can mimic features of other people such as noses and hair. It is unknown whether he can completely transform to another person.
	+ **Monster Form:** Jack-Jack is able to transform into a monster-like creature, with red skin, long nails, and sharp teeth. In this form, Jack-Jack has a much greater muscle mass, leading to bolstered strength and maneuverability. Jack-Jack is able to lift and throw lawn chairs with little effort and battled a raccoon without taking any visible damage. This indicates that he has some superhuman level of strength and durability. He can chew and eat his way through hard, solid objects such as the bars of a wooden crib. He is able to move much faster than a normal baby.
	+ **Self-Combustion/Flame-Form:** Jack-Jack alters his physiology to set himself aflame and can, to some limited extent, extend the fire around him. As his body remains solid, it seems that it is simply his skin that combusts. His flames can be easily doused with flame-retardant foam.
	+ **Size Manipulation:** Jack-Jack can increase his mass and physical size to break through small spaces or crash through walls. While in a giant form he is visibly chubbier all over.
	+ **Smoke Form:** Jack-Jack can turn his body gaseous. Jack-Jack most likely by altering his molecular state is able to phase through solid objects and even
	+ **Metal Form:** Jack-Jack is able to convert his body into heavy metal, giving him a much greater mass and density.
	+ **Rubber Form:** Jack-Jack can become soft and pliable with a visible sheen in order to fend off sharp attacks.
	+ **Water Form:** He can liquefy his body and become liquid. most likely by altering his molecular state is able to phase through solid objects and even
	+ **Sparkler Form:** Jack-Jack can convert his body into a mass of sparks while spinning in circles, which gives him a degree of control over electromagnetism (he was able to short out the power all across Edna's estate).

### **Equipment**

**Incredibles Suit:** This suit tore, and Edna Mode 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 his family's, are fireproof, bulletproof, and rip-proof; and came with a tracking device. His suit is also a red one-piece but it is baggier, lacks the belt, crutch, gloves, insignia, and boots, and has feet in it. He had two suits made for him that shared the same design but the second one came with a tracking device (which incidentally his family's suits also have) and edible flame retardant.

### **Weaknesses**

**Power Instability & Emotions:** Jack-Jack is still a baby he doesn't yet have complete control over his abilities, which are triggered primarily by emotion and whim.
