Elastigirl

Helen Parr (née Truax), also known as Elastigirl and Mrs. Incredible, is a fictional character who appears in Pixar's computer-animated superhero film The Incredibles (2004) and its sequel Incredibles 2 (2018). Voiced by actress Holly Hunter, the character is a superhero who possesses superhuman elasticity, granting her the ability to stretch any part of her body to great proportions. Helen is introduced in the first film as an accomplished superheroine forced into retirement with the rest of her family after usage of superpowers is banned by law. Development Creation and casting Screenwriter and director Brad Bird conceived Helen as a modern mom who "has to stretch in hundreds of different ways each day." Helen is voiced by American actress Holly Hunter. Bird considered Hunter "one of the finest actresses in the world", capable of playing a "sensitive" character who also has "a very sturdy center". Hunter, who had never voiced an animated character before, saw the role as an exciting opportunity to expand her repertoire. She was also drawn to the film by its unique and "unconventional story about family and human dynamics". Characterization According to Hunter, Helen has "total fearlessness" as a superhero, but also "a very strong, protective instinct" when it comes to her children, and an "innate desire to save others".
