How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Incredibles.

Quote #4

REPORTER: The supers will be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work.

And then, in a moment, it's all gone. With the Superhero Relocation Program officially banning superheroes from using their powers, Bob may have to give up being Mr. Incredible for good. All Clark Kent and no Superman makes Bob a dull boy.

Quote #5

HELEN: Everyone's special, Dash.

DASH: Which is another way of saying no one is.

Bob and Helen's children have superpowers, but unlike the 'rents, they've never had the opportunity to use them. In Dash's case, this makes him feel like he can't show off what makes him special. And is he wrong?

Quote #6

RICK: We gotta pay to keep the company quiet. We gotta pay damages, erase memories, relocate your family [...] We can't keep doing this, Bob. [...] From now on, you're on your own.

Here, it's suggested that Bob has used his superpowers quite a few times since the superhero ban—and each time his family has been relocated and forced to start anew. Putting aside the obviously harmful effects this could have on the kids, it shows that Bob is still incredibly conflicted about the loss of his identity as Mr. Incredible.
