Violet Parr
Violet Parr is a fictional character in Pixar's computer animated superhero film ''The Incredibles'' (2004) and its sequel ''Incredibles 2'' (2018). The eldest child of Bob and Helen Parr (Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl), Violet is born with the superhuman ability to render herself invisible, as well as generate force fields.

Throughout the course of the films, Violet gradually matures and becomes more confident in herself as both a young woman and a superhero.
