Biography[]
The Incredibles[]
Just after Mr. Incredible saves Oliver Sansweet from committing suicide, he hears faint beeping on the other side of a wall in the building. The bomb detonates, blowing a hole in a brick wall, out of which Bomb Voyage emerges after stealing money from an unnamed business. Before Mr. Incredible can apprehend him, Buddy Pine arrives using rocket boots, calling himself 'IncrediBoy' and attempting to convince Mr. Incredible to accept him as his sidekick. He insults Buddy in French so he couldn't understand, mocking his outfit and calling him a 'little oaf'.
Then, he clips an explosive device on Buddy's cape as he flew off to get the police, which was used as a distraction to get away with the money. Mr. Incredible is forced to release Voyage in order to save Buddy, Voyage knowing of Mr. Incredible's natural instinct to save people. Therefore, he is indirectly responsible for the Super Relocation Program being passed as the bomb he placed on Buddy was later removed from his cape by Mr. Incredible and landed on a railroad bridge. The bomb detonates, destroying part of the bridge, forcing Mr. Incredible to stand in the path of the train to prevent it from going off the tracks. This results in the passengers suing Mr. Incredible, acting as the jury in his lawsuit trial, that eventually leads to the Super Relocation Act being passed, outlawing Supers.

After this, he attempts to escape in a helicopter, and Mr. Incredible defeats him by throwing six bombs at the chopper, causing it to fly out of control and presumably crash, killing Voyage.
The Incredibles: Comic Series[]
In the comics titled "Secrets and Lies", Bomb Voyage is recruited by Xerek to destroy the Eiffel Tower with one of his bombs, and later meets Elastigirl and Mirage in person when they arrive to investigate. When he attempts to escape, Elastigirl follows him throughout Paris and eventually shakes Xerek's location out of him. Since it has been 15 years since his appearance in the movie, Bomb Voyage has aged significantly, with a potbelly and balding hair.
Powers & Abilities[]

Trivia[]
- Bomb Voyage's name is a pun on the French valediction, "bon voyage", which is usually translated as “have a nice trip.”
- Bomb Voyage made a minor cameo appearance in the 2007 Disney/Pixar movie, Ratatouille, as a street mime. This occurred during the 2nd act when Linguini and Colette are rollerskating by Notre Dame Cathedral. His name also appears on a newspaper that Colette is reading.
- The Boom! Studios comic reveals Bomb Voyage was one of the few villains to elude the NSA completely around the time of the superhero ban, only to re-emerge in Paris years later and destroying the Eiffel Tower in the process. Working for Xerek, he destroys the rendezvous point that Mrs. Incredible and Mirage were to meet their contact at. When Bomb Voyage tries to escape, Helen takes a jetpack in pursuit and Xerek reveals himself through Bomb Voyage's communicator, which threatens to explode and take both of them down. The comic's events were later retconned by the events of Incredibles 2 film.
- Director Brad Bird originally pitched the idea of Bomb Voyage's name. His original idea was that Bomb Voyage would be named "Bomb Pérignon", in reference to the similarly named champagne, Dom Pérignon, but the Moët et Chandon company would not allow that kind of parody.
