Violet

History

When she is first introduced in The Incredibles, Violet is depicted as gloomy, uncertain, and socially withdrawn, and prefers to hide behind her long hair, which she wears hanging in front of her face. She has a crush on one of her classmates, Tony Rydinger, but is too shy to approach him and turns herself invisible whenever he looks her way to avoid attention.

After Violet and Dash discover the extraordinary properties of the supersuits designed for them by Edna Mode (in Violet's case, her suit can turn invisible along with her, rendering her totally unseen, without disrupting her force fields (the force field part is discussed in A Magic Kingdom Adventure (AMKA)), they stow away on their mother's jet when she leaves to find their father, who has been doing secret hero work behind his family's back. Shortly after they are discovered by Helen, the plane is attacked by Syndrome's missiles, and Helen calls upon Violet to put a force field around them for protection. Violet is reluctant to try to generate such a large force field, however, and is still too nervous and underconfident to successfully carry out the order. The family is forced to abandon ship just before the missiles destroy the plane. When Violet later apologizes to her mother for failing her, Helen reassures her by saying that she has more power than she herself realizes, but also warns her that in their situation, doubt is a luxury they can no longer afford.

Her confidence bolstered, Violet practices her power on the fire in the camp, but she and Dash are nearly burnt to a crisp when Syndrome launches a rocket carrying a highly capable battle robot—the Omnidroid 9000—to the City of Metroville; the cave that the two were in is also the exhaust tube for the rocket.

After some time, Syndrome's henchmen discover the children after their curiosty triggers an alarm and pursue them across his island base (their mother left them alone to go in search for her husband), and one of them (after being attacked by a stick-wielding invisible Violet) uses dirt to find Violet while she is hiding in a pond. However, Dash stops that soldier from killing her. Immediately afterwards, Violet (after returning the favor) and Dash combine their powers to create the IncrediBall (named in the video game), where Violet generates a force field around herself and Dash, who runs super-fast so that they both move at an incredible pace and block out anything attacking them.

After they are reunited with their parents (both of whom are briefly flattened by the IncrediBall), another wave of henchmen find and attack them. Violet once again displays her increasing confidence, raising a large shield which protects her family from a hail of automatic weapons fire. Though the guards are quickly overpowered, Syndrome himself captures the family. Once imprisoned, however, it is Violet who manages to free everyone by hovering over to the control panel with a force field.

During the battle with the Omnidroid, Violet is knocked unconscious while defending herself and Dash, but she recuperates very quickly. After Helen trip-wires the robot, Violet (in her invisible state) grabs the remote used to control it. As the Omnidroid gets closer to an ideal range for Mr. Incredible to pierce it with its detached claw, Violet refuses Helen's order to hide.

Finally, after stopping Syndrome from abducting Jack-Jack, they apparently destroy Syndrome (by taking advantage of his cape) and have successfully saved the world. Three months later, Violet is courageous enough to talk to Tony (and Tony is now the shy one about Violet), and they plan to go to the movies on Friday. Violet tells Tony that she will buy the popcorn. Violet was seen wearing pink and white clothes instead of her black clothing.

Powers & Abilities

Violet's superpowers allow her to instantly render herself partially (at one point in the movie, Violet turns her left hand invisible to see if her Super-Suit can turn invisible) or entirely invisible and to generate spherical force fields (transparent violet in color). These force fields apparently have some sort of anti-gravitational effect on her (Violet has been known to float inside them) but not others (her brother Dash can propel a sphere he and Violet are in by running); they also allow her to move particularly heavy objects, as she is seen doing so in some Incredibles merchandising. In some pictures, the palms of Violet's hands glow a pale violet whenever she uses her force fields. It is yet to be seen if Violet can combine her two powers to make her force fields invisible or the like.
