This time around we get the shadowy and ominous figure called the Screenslaver &#8211; but what do we really know about him\/her? Let\u2019s cover a few things to help prepare to match wits with the Screenslaver.<\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" \/>\n<p><center><strong>Hypnotic Powers and Abilities<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_60609\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60609\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-60609 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/screeslaver1-640x336.png\" alt=\"Incredibles 2 Screenslaver Power\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-60609\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Source: Disney\/Pixar<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The name invokes many frightening thoughts and gives us our first clue as to who the character actually is and what his\/her intentions might actually be for the innocent people of New Urbrem. The Screenslaver has the ability to control people through their screens. Touching a bit on today\u2019s society and the need to always be viewing a screen (or several) while we ride the train, watch television, or even deliver pizza. Screens are everywhere and the Screenslaver uses this to his\/her advantage by brainwashing innocent civilians with advanced hypnotic powers.<\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" \/>\n<p><center><strong>Incredibles 2 Villain &#8211; Screenslaver&#8217;s Identity<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_60608\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60608\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-60608 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/screenslaver2-640x336.png\" alt=\"Incredibles 2 Deavor\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-60608\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Source: Disney\/Pixar<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The biggest surprise is the actual identity of the Screenslaver. When Elastigirl first captures the Screenslaver, she has her doubts, and as an audience so do we. After discovering her victory over the Screenslaver was just a clever ruse, the captured Screenslaver was just an ordinary pizza guy under the control of the real Screenslaver, Elastigirl becomes a slave herself. The real Screenslaver was Evelyn Deavor all along. Elastigirl learns that the sister of Winston Deavor, the man responsible for Elastigirl\u2019s new job and her family\u2019s home, was being used as part of the Screenslaver&#8217;s master plan. It turns out that Screenslaver wants to make sure that the law against supers stays in place and that it remains illegal for supers to fight crime forever. Evelyn blames the supers for her father&#8217;s death, as he was a supporter and friend of supers when he was alive and she used her brother&#8217;s plan to enact\u00a0a plot of her own.<\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" \/>\n<p><center><strong>A Dark Superhero Villain<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_60607\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60607\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-60607 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/screenslaver3-640x336.png\" alt=\"Incredibles 2 Superheros \" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-60607\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Source: Disney\/Pixar<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Screenslaver is definitely one of Pixar\u2019s more imposing and darker characters to date, even just with the name Screenslaver.
