- "I felt like an outcast...before. But now, with you being you, I feel like...Yay, me."
- —Voyd when meeting Elastigirl for the first time
Voyd (real name Karen Fields) is a supporting character in Incredibles 2. She is part of a group of aspiring Supers who wish to join the ranks of superheroes. She is portrayed as an overeager young Super and Elastigirl obsessive.
Personality[]
Because of the banning of Superheroes, Voyd was forced to hide her abilities from the world like all other Supers. Being unable to be herself was hard for her, and when Winston Deavor sets out to make Superheroes legal she gets her chance to embrace her powers. Despite being a powerful girl, Voyd is both eager and nervous about becoming a superhero in Winston's goal to bring them back. As a fan of Elastigirl, Voyd looks up to her as the one woman in her life who has made her feel hopeful and consider her powers to be a gift and not a curse.
Physical appearance[]
Voyd has light tan skin and a slender figure with magenta lips, turquoise eyes and shoulder-length teal hair in an asymmetrical cut with the longest part covering the right side of her face. Her super-suit is a tight lime and teal leotard with sleeves. The front of her suit has a big indigo "V" with a lime oval in the middle, representing her ability to generate wormholes. The rest of her super-suit includes dark teal green tights and a dark teal eye mask along with matching gloves and boots.
Biography[]
Incredibles 2[]
Voyd is introduced when Winston and Evelyn Deavor arrange a get-together of Supers to meet Elastigirl. Voyd introduces herself as a longtime fan who felt repressed ever since she discovered her powers but was forbidden to use them. She is both nervous and excited to be meeting her hero, though Elastigirl makes her feel at ease. Seeing Elastigirl in action and knowing she may well end-up make it legal for folks like Voyd to be able to publicly use their powers to save the day prompts Voyd to express her deepest of gratitude. Voyd shows off her power to Elastigirl, who is impressed. Deavor is going to try to provide Voyd and the other aspiring Supers a place to train while the law is being changed. Voyd in particular seems to be hoping to be able to play sidekick to Elastigirl at some point when/if the law is changed.
After Elastigirl defeats the Screenslaver, a celebration is held at Devtech. After Elastigirl's speech, Voyd asks for advice on how to handle life as a Super. Elastigirl is distracted by the surrounding screens displaying the Screenslaver, and decides to go investigate the series of events that led to her defeating him.
Soon after Evelyn reveals her true nature, Voyd was placed under her control with hypno-goggles along with the other wannabe Supers, instructed to capture Bob and Helen's children and Frozone, only succeeding in capturing the latter as the children manage to escape in the Incredibile.
After Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack entered the Everjust, Violet looks for her parents and Frozone. Violet accidentally knocks over a pot plant while invisible, which a hypnotized Voyd sees, so she investigates. Voyd intercepts Violet, and the two fight. Voyd tries to place a pair of hypno-goggles onto Violet but is kicked away and sent flying over the railing.
Just after the kids free their parents and Frozone, Voyd and the other wannabe Supers arrive and attack the Incredibles and Frozone; she goes one-on-one against Elastigirl. After Elastigirl punches her through a portal, her hypno-goggles are removed by Elastigirl. When they see Evelyn escaping via a jet, Voyd and Elastigirl began chasing the mind-controlling super-villain down. After a few attempts, Voyd helps Elastigirl board the jet, and catches them both in a portal as they fall from the sky after Elastigirl captures Evelyn.
After Evelyn is arrested, Voyd strikes an applauding conversation with Violet, who apologizes for attacking Voyd on the ship. Voyd is last seen witnessing the decriminalization of Supers, making superhero work legal once again.
Powers & Abilities[]
- "Shy Voyd is a big fan of Elastigirl. Voyd can create portals that can move people and objects from one place to another."
- —Pixar Character Encyclopedia: The Incredibles 2.
- Dimensional Teleportation: Voyd's superpower is the ability to divert and warp objects around her to elsewhere by creating voids that allow the objects to appear and disappear. With this, she can instantly transport objects and allies to and from away from herself, bypass certain defenses (i.e., Violet's force-fields), as well as to re-direct imminent danger headed her way. Her ability to generate wormholes makes her a formidable hero at virtually any distance and perfect for missions that require long-distant travels and quick escapes. It is currently unknown what could happen should her portals de-manifest while something, or someone, is still passing through as the hole in space-time closes.
Weaknesses[]
- Visual Limitation: Though her inter-dimensional powers would appear to have an impressive range, they appear to be dependent on her line of sight to be deployed with consistency since it took her several attempts to get Elastigirl into Evelyn's getaway aircraft; that is, literally into the vehicle's interior, fuselage and all, which Voyd could not see in plain sight - hinting that vision is a crucial factor when utilizing her powers.
- Gesturing: Voyd's wormholes seem to be dependent on her hand movements in order to properly direct where these portals would manifest from place to place.
- Unpredictability: Voyd’s portals can sometimes become unpredictable.
Trivia[]
- Voyd is the third character in the franchise to be a fan of one of the protagonists. The first was Buddy Pine/Syndrome who was a fan of Mr. Incredible in the first film and Winston Deavor who was a fan of the Incredibles (and technically all supers as a whole in existence) in the second film. Voyd's relationship with Elastigirl is similar to that of Syndrome and Mr. Incredible, except Voyd did not attack any Supers willingly, being temporarily under the influence of Hypno-Goggles.
- Voyd's superpower called for some technical intervention to make it easier to achieve in layout animation. Software was written to duplicate characters and connect multiple cameras so that when one looked through one side of the portal, they would see what a camera at another location sees. If a character reached through the hole on one side, a duplicate of the character's arm on the other side was necessary.
- Voyd is similar to Blink from The Uncanny X-Men, who can also create portals.
- Voyd is called "Vortex" in the French dub of the movie.
- Voyd's name is a reference to the word 'void', referencing her powers.
- Unlike most women in the films, her face is very angular and masculine.
