Plot

The story picks up immediately after the events of The Incredibles. The Parr family—Bob (Mr. Incredible), Helen (Elastigirl), Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack—continue to live their lives as superheroes. However, their efforts to maintain a normal life are challenged when a new villain, the Screenslaver, emerges. Helen is recruited to lead a campaign to bring Supers back, while Bob navigates the day-to-day heroics of "normal" life at home with the kids.
