- “No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know?! For a little bit. I feel like the maid: "I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for, for 10 minutes?! Please?!"”
- ―Bob Parr
Robert "Bob" Parr, better known as Mr. Incredible is the patriarch of the Parr Family and, by extension, the Incredibles.
Appearance[]

Mr. Incredible's old super suit
Bob is exceptionally tall with massive shoulders, chest, and arms (as befits his superhuman strength). As a younger man, he was slim-waisted, but by the time his daughter Violet was in high school, he had become obese, and was forced to undergo a strenuous diet and exercise regimen, after which he lost enough weight to resume his superheroics before leaving to go to Nomanisan Island. He has blonde hair (which has receded in his middle-age) and blue eyes.
Personality[]

Bob Parr's civilian identity
As a superhero, Mr. Incredible was good at what he does and loves every bit of it. Is is shown that while he does it selflessly, he can become a little overwhelmed by it at times - as was the case when Bucky tried to join him in his heroics as his sidekicks - and sometimes believed in retiring and starting a family.
When such a concept becomes a reality, Bob becomes disgruntled and overwhelmed at trying to behave like a normal person, uprooting his family's lives more than once by accident and forcing them to relocate in order to stay a secret. Despite this, he loves his family. Unlike Helen, Bob believes that his children should not hide themselves away, believing that Dash should try out for sports because of his skill despite the risk of revealing his powers.
Powers and Abilities[]
As a super, Bob possesses strength that exceeds all human potential. He was able to bench press locomotives, pull inactive trains along traintracks, stop a moving train, throw small objects for miles and throw boulders for great distances, even when middle-aged. While his strength is inherent, exersize can increase it.
While not indestructable, he is also highly durable, bending a knife over his fingers as he cuts food by accident in a deleted scene.
