"My powers are atomic density manipulation - ability to reshape matter. Say you have a cut or a boo-boo on your arm, I can probably do something about that."
—Downburst on his NSA file

Downburst's NSA file.

Lego Downburst

Downburst's confirmed color and appearance from the Lego Incredibles Video game in 2018.

Downburst is a character in The Incredibles.

The Incredibles[]

Originally working in a doctor's office, he pursued a life of hero work after feeling underappreciated and wanting a "sexier" line of work.

Early in his superhero career, Downburst had little recognition in the Super community and called himself an "onlooker". However, he began to gain acceptance later on.

After becoming a Super, Downburst became infatuated with the superheroine Blazestone, though these feelings were unrequited.

Downburst was one of the Supers targeted by Syndrome for Operation Kronos. The Operation Kronos database asigned him a threat rating of 6.5. He defeated the Omnidroid v.X2 but was subsequently killed by the Omnidroid v.X3 during the training sessions for Operation Kronos.

Abilities[]

Downburst's superpowers involved atomic manipulation, allowing him to reshape matter and heal minor wounds. His powers had limitations, however; he could not reshape matter into complex forms and his reshaping of organics was limited to small wounds. This resulted in him undergoing NSA training to develop his abilities.

Personality[]

Downburst has a rivalry with Frozone for Blazestone's affections; his NSA file warns to not bring Frozone up in conversation due to this. It is implied from Downburst's recording that he has struggled to gain widespread acceptance within the Super community. 

Trivia[]

  • During Mr. Incredible's discovery of Operation Kronos, Downburst's file erroneously lists his powers as "flight" and "gaseous expulsions," powers instead attributed to Stormicide
