Can babies really be badass? Well, when they're basically the most powerful superhero in an entire filmic universe, you bet your adorable little fact they can.

Jack-Jack's evolution into something more than JUST a baby actually kicks off right at the end of The Incredibles, when he helps kill Syndrome (albeit with an almighty assist from his cape and a jet engine), but it's a tiny flash and it's not until the sequel that we really see it explored.

In Incredibles 2, Jack-Jack is basically an allegory for toddlers across the world, only with an incredible power-set that seems to draw from multiple other heroes and a thirst for justice that sees him fighting a raccoon with hilarious effect. The sequel confirms that he's the real deal, and if anything, his volatility and lack of control just make him even more badass.
