The Incredibles Identity Quotes

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

Quote #1

MR. INCREDIBLE: Every superhero has a secret identity. I don't know a single one who doesn't. Who wants the pressure of being super all the time?

Superheroes like Mr. Incredible are forced split their lives between two totally separate identities. Every Superman has a Clark Kent; every Wonder Woman has a Diana Prince. Unlike his two more famous peers, however, Mr. Incredible/Bob Parr isn't as good at juggling the two.

Quote #2

MR. INCREDIBLE: Sometimes I think I'd just like the simple life, you know? Relax a little and raise a family.

At first, Mr. Incredible seems eager to put his superhero identity on the shelf in favor of life as an Average Family Man™. It's a nice thought and all, but his actions later in the film speak otherwise.

Quote #3

HELEN: I love you, but if we're gonna make this work, you've gotta be more than Mr. Incredible. You know that. Don't you?

This moment at Helen and Bob's wedding is an important one. Helen has read the tea leaves and can see that Bob is going to have a harder time adjusting to family life than he realizes. The dude was late to his own wedding, after all. Hope he has a prenup.
