The National Supers Agency (the NSA for short) is a fictional government division dealing with the employment of superheroes in the film The Incredibles.
History[]
The NSA It is a government organization dedicated to recruiting and employing people with superpowers to fight crime. The organization is responsible for registering each superhero, analyze and prepare their powers, as well as covering any collateral damage, such as erasing the memory of those who discover their secret identities.
Around the 1950s, the NSA was responsible for placing the superheroes in hiding when the public began suing for damages done by superheroes when fighting crime. "The Supers would be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in the promise to never again resume hero-work." This act (known as the Superhero Relocation Program) is seen in effect in three cities in California:
- Municiberg
- Westburg
- Metroville
The Act lasted for 15 years until the foiling of Operation Kronos by both Frozone and the Incredibles saw the public indebted to superheroes.
Afterwards, the NSA coordinated the activity of superheroes, such as the transfer of supervillain prisoners, as seen in the Incredibles play set in Disney Infinity.

Trivia[]
- In the original draft for the film, the NSA did not exist: In fact, the reason the Parrs (then known at the time as the Smiths) had to adopt an alias was in order to hide from former enemies who would evidentially want to exact revenge for their past defeats.
- The NSA is probably inspired by the real-life National Security Agency and Central Intelligence Agency.
