retreat to the suburbs. Today they, and all superheroes, live as mere mortals. Bob and Helen lead all-
too-ordinary lives with their children, Violet and Dashiell "Dash" Parr, who go out of their way to
appear "normal," and new baby Jack-Jack As a clock-punching insurance man, the only thing Bob
fights these days is boredom and a bulging waistline. Itching for action, the sidelined superhero gets his

once again find the fantastic in their family life.
