Biography[]
Lego The Incredibles - Psycwave voice clips
Psycwave’s voice.
Psycwave discovered her psychic abilities in high school, and utilized these newfound powers for personal gain—namely, to manipulate the star quarterback into asking her to homecoming and break up with his girlfriend.
Psycwave was a founding member of the Phantasmics, and fought alongside Everseer, Macroburst and Plasmabolt and, at one point, Gazerbeam.
Her secret identity was that of a psychologist who worked with Everseer, though she became frustrated with the work and quit due to her annoyance at clients failing to solve their own problems.
She was one of the Supers targeted by Syndrome for Operation Kronos. She was supposedly killed by the Omnidroid v.X1 but Syndrome never actually found the body similar to Mr. Incredible and so it is possible she survived and went into hiding. The Operation Kronos database assigned her a threat rating of 1.6, the lowest rating of the Supers displayed despite her having powers which are significantly more powerful than what the rating suggests.
Personality[]
She herself was known for her occasional paranoid tendencies as well as acting as a psychologist under her secret identity, becoming frustrated by her clients' inability to solve their own problems. Psycwave also authored a book titled, "Shut Up! Quieting Your Inner Voice" alongside her fellow psychologist Everseer. It is implied that she frequently used her powers for selfish gain, primarily by manipulating men into breaking up with their girlfriends so she could date them.
