Bob Parr

Bob is the city's most famous hero. He saves a man who was about to jump from a building, and the man sues him. A fan named Buddy Pine asks to be his sidekick, but Bob turns him down. More lawsuits from injured train passengers ruin the public image of supers, and the government bans them from using powers in public.

Fifteen years later, Bob lives in a suburb with Helen and three kids and works as an insurance claims adjuster. At night he sneaks out with his friend Lucius to listen to the police radio and secretly take action. After losing his job for injuring his boss, he accepts an offer from a woman named Mirage: a mission on an island, with high pay.

On Nomanisan Island, Bob beats the Omnidroid robot by tricking it into tearing out its own power source. He returns rejuvenated, trains and asks Edna Mode to fix his old suit. On his second trip he finds out Mirage works for Buddy, now calling himself Syndrome, who hunts supers to test the robot. Bob is captured.

Helen and the kids reach the island to rescue him, and the whole family is captured. Violet frees them. In Metroville, the family helps beat the Omnidroid. Back home, Syndrome kidnaps Jack-Jack, but the baby shows his powers. Bob hurls his car at the villain's plane and the film ends with the family masked up, ready for a new enemy.

In the second film, Helen becomes the star of the campaign to legalize supers, and Bob stays home. He deals with Violet's heartbreak, Dash's math homework and Jack-Jack's powers popping up everywhere. Bob feels jealous of Helen and sometimes gets everything wrong, but he keeps trying.

Unsure what to do about Jack-Jack's powers, Bob calls Edna Mode, on Lucius's advice, to babysit the baby. She agrees and Jack-Jack spends a day rehearsing powers under the designer's watchful eye. Bob sees in her the help he needed.

Evelyn Deavor, the Screenslaver, hypnotizes Bob with goggles and uses him to take over the ship. Jack-Jack pulls the goggles off Helen, who frees Bob and Lucius. The whole family works together, stops the yacht from hitting the city and arrests Evelyn. Supers become legal again.

Craig T. Nelson voices Bob in both films. Brad Bird voiced the character in the temporary storyboard recordings.
