REVIEWS: Princessmoi - I'm really glad you like my ideas. I won't tell you whether or not I'm a super though. Have to protect my secret identity - that is if I have one. As for how I make people like my fics I think it's because I like - no - love the characters and the story. This is litterally my life outside of school. I'm so into this in fact that I - in all seriousness - have every intention of naming my first son Dashiell. It's that kind of passion that's driving the story - a passion I share with all of my readers. Thanks again for all of your reviews.

XXVI. REVEALED

Bob Parr woke up in a bed after about thirty minutes. "What happened," he asked. His family stood around him and Dr. Angelo walked up wearing several bandages himself.

"Hello Bob, you're going to be ok but this will be difficult to explain," said the doctor. "Frankly, I've never seen anything quite like your son before. These new generation supers seem to get stronger and stronger."

"How long was I out?"

"About thirty minutes, you took the full impact without your suit on."

"Ok," Bob said, "so what's the deal with Jack-Jack?"

"He has multiple powers – three to be exact. First he is a shape-shifter but he's unbounded not non-compositional like I thought. That means if he can dream it he can be it and you won't be able to tell him from the original - thus all the shapes. Right now he's young so his restrictions are elemental. Fire is the most basic so you'll see that one the most like you saw in the kitchen this morning and in the office with me. Some metals, water, and even some gases are possible if he has any idea what they are. This will expand as he grows; plants like the orange, animals like the dog, then people and eventually even other supers. Although, he may never even realize his full potential with that kind of power. It's all mental, as you saw my transformations were all things he was very familiar with as your wife later explained to me."

Helen interrupted. "Right, the orange, the dog which was just like his stuffed animal, even Syndrome." Everyone listened with awe now.

Dr. Angelo continued. "Second he has what we call emotional personification. This will be tough to deal with since he can't control it and will never be able too. It's another type of metamorphism. He'll shift every time he loses control of his emotions. Right now these show themselves as seemingly super-natural or monstrous forms much like the gelatin form you saw this morning and will usually follow in a pattern of shape shifting. As he grows he'll connect physical objects with these emotions and that's how they'll manifest. In my mature form that's what happened to me; I became scared of the powers and that fear manifested in Jack-Jack's nightmare, namely Syndrome." Everyone stared at the baby taking this all in. "Finally, he also has power enhancement. I didn't expect that. He's capable of raising a super's power to a higher level much like the spikes we told Dash about earlier. He did that to me when I took his powers mine jumped to the level and transferred to him while I had his. It's almost like a defense mechanism but I can't imagine what it'd be like if he did it to one of you."

"You should've seen him," Helen said. "While he had the doctor's power he was levitating things all over the place for about ten minutes. He really knows how to use his power."

"Yes," said the doctor. "It's a good sign too, showing he can control them – well most of them. In fact the way that spike went I doubt he even lost his powers and I just replicated them instead of taking them. Fortunately mine came back quickly too so I was able to heal myself and get these powers under control – keep myself mentally stable."

Bob got up off the bed but stumbled from weakness.

"Careful," Dr. Angelo said helping him back to the bed. "I had to do a bio-interface to make sure you were ok. I have your powers right now. Fortunately strength is something I can handle."

"How did he get such power?" Bob asked.

"Well," said the doctor, "the powers increase with each generation. We know little about their origins but some speculate that some old stories like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or the Phantom of the Opera may be loosely based on early supers. A simple shape shifter with one change, a minor telekinetic and telepath, stuff like that. If that's true and we've come this far in just over a hundred years then who knows how fast supers will develop, especially in families like yours where supers are marrying other supers. It presents a whole new world of potential. Frightening, but full of potential."

"I see," Bob said.

Suddenly Rick Dicker broke into the room. "Bob, thank God you're ok. We've got trouble."

"What is it," Bob asked.

"Positron and his gang are back."

"Right," Helen said. "Can you take the kids home for us?"

"No they must go too," he said. Their faces lit up. "I'll permit it this time."

Helen retorted. "But I'm not sure I want-"

Rick cut her off, "there's eight of them this time – too many. I want you all to go."

Bob nodded. "Ok let's go," he said.

"Frozone's in route," Rick said but I need you to hurry.

"Right. It's show time," Bob said. The family quickly headed for the waiting Incredibile.
