Helen Parr

In her youth, Elastigirl aimed to break into the male-dominated world of superheroes and rejected marriage due to fear of losing her independence. Despite this, she falls in love with Mr. Incredible and later shifts to a traditionalist role as a wife, Helen cares for her family and hides their powers while being authoritative with her family. She is a quick-witted, resourceful, talented, passionate, driven, and supportive woman.

As her name implies, Helen can convert the mass of her entire body into a highly malleable state at will. In such a state, she can stretch, deform, expand, or compress her entire body or parts thereof into any contiguous shape she can imagine. She can extend her limbs, torso, or neck to great distances and can also extend her body in two directions, creating a canopy, parachute, or sheath, its thickness determined by the extent of its distention; Helen's minimum thickness is recorded by the NSA as being 1 mm. Her overall strength diminishes in direct proportion to her maximum elasticity. She has also shown the ability to shape-shift by means of her elasticity, along with being able to augment her body's shape including compressing it down into a compact form, with her mass remaining the same her can increase or decrease accordingly.

However, she does have her weaknesses. If she's exposed to extreme cold, her body becomes harder and less pliable as the temperature decreases until ultimately it actually becomes brittle, possibly breaking if she exerts too much force. Likewise, if she is exposed to extreme heat, such as electricity, she seems to enter a pseudo-melted state, where she is limp and extremely pliable. Her own elasticity can sometimes be problematic, as it caused her leg, torso, and arm to be caught in three doors. Forced stretching, even under several tons of load, appears to cause pain and discomfort but no permanent or even temporary harm.

Appearance: Helen is in her late thirties, and she is 5'8" in height, and she is 125 pounds in weight. She has fair skin, rosy cheeks, pink lips, auburn (reddish-brown) hair, and brown eyes. After fifteen years of forced retirement and three children, Helen wears her hair in a medium bob, and much to her chagrin carries a little extra weight on her abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks.
