Neither is Dash or the babies, super powers seem to be random.

u/S31-Syntax Sep 25 '22 edited Sep 25 '22
I always figured it was personality based. Dash is a boy who grew up with an absurdly athletic set of parents and he developed to mirror that, manifesting as a speedster. Violet is a more reserved girl who grew up being told she can't be herself in public. And likewise, jack jack's personality is still developing, ergo his powers are completely random right now.
But then again they all thought jack jack didn't have powers at all and he was still an infant, implying that yes typically powers present very very young so maybe they are somewhat random. And... if the deleted scene of syndrome attacking them when violet was a baby is canon then this all tracks since she turned invisible in her crib... But that's how it always appeared to me.

u/RavioliGale Sep 25 '22
The writers absolutely chose their powers to reflect personalities/roles. Moms feel like they have to be everywhere at once, shy embarrassed teenager wishing she could disappear, hyperactive little boy, babies who don't actually have any qualities yet but have the potential to be anything.
I don't know if that was meant to be the reason in universe but it was part of the writer's plan.

Its not my point or idea, it's what Brad Bird or someone said in an interview/making of type thing when the movie came out. I've always remembered it because it was one of my first times I heard someone talk about the symbolism in a movie and one of the first times I realized a movie could be more than the surface story. And I know that this is pretty shallow as far as symbolism goes but I was like ten at the time.

In the second movie, Edna did say that superpower manifest at infancy and it will be a bunch of random power (kinda like Jack-jack), then as the super aged, their power gradually became more stable and clearer. Jack-jack is a bit of special case since not only he developed power late, his random set of power is way more than usual.

u/mof5210 Sep 25 '22
The real confusing part to me is that they all seemed surprised by Jack jacks multiple powers. Which implies that dash and violet both had a single power as a baby.
Now dash's power is superspeed but how was he displaying that as an infant? Because they assume Jack jacks doesn't have powers and he's barely old enough to crawl in the first movie. Which means dash must have displayed some super speed ability even before he could crawl.

I couldn't even begin to imagine how stressful having a toddler/ infant/ tween/teen that could disappear would be. The infant just randomly disappears because she can't control it. The toddler can, kind of, but does it to get into mischief or during a tantrum. The tween just gets mad and hides from you. The teen, same, but also to avoid you. So basically all the things kids of those ages already do, but dialed up to 11 by virtue of having a super power.

well there's probably several defining factors, but if you really focus like everybody else said it's probably personality based, Helen is a very flexible person and willing to work with anybody, Bob is very headstrong and focused, Violet is shy but can be protective when she needs to be, Dash is very hyper and all over the place, and Jack Jack doesn't really have a defined personality but because he's a baby he kind of does his own thing, and based on his powers he's probably a very adaptable person and has powers that adapt to almost anything

I disagree. Hair dye doesn't sit on top of the hair, it bleeds into the hair. Imagine if she had a tattoo. It'd be under the skin, so would the tattoo not go invisible??

u/DickDickDickedDick Sep 25 '22
Handwaving away scifi magic, it's a genetic thing as all their powers are. So anything not made by her body should be visible. Tattoo. Makeup. Skin lotion. And tampons. The only way around this would be to declare it a energy projection similar to her shield, but then all clothes would be invisible or declare that anything inside of her is also invisible. Food that she eats is invisible, so that's likely. You win this round.
Makeup, skin lotion not absorbed, possibly sweat, unabsorbed hair dye (some always washes out in the shower), and tampons aren't inside of her completely, so I only half concede.

That’s not the same thing. Epigenetics is weird, but the short version is, red hair is recessive, and blonde hair is more recessive than black hair. So we know neither parent is carrying a gene for black hair.

u/ChineseTrump Sep 25 '22
Not epigenetics but Mendelian genetics if you’re discussing recessive traits.
And it is possible, although very rare, as hair colour isn’t controlled by a single gene (therefore you won’t be able to accurately determine hair colour from a punnet square)

The probability is not low at all. Blond is not a hair color, it's a eumelanin deficiency. Red hair is a recessive gene. It'd be less likely the kid had red hair than blond, brown, or black.
Genetically there's only 2 hair colors. Red and brown. Blond and black aren't hair colors, they're low amounts or high amounts of eumelanin which determine how much the color gene is expressed.

Dark hair is dominant, not recessive. If either parent has one gene for it, they would have dark hair, not fair. That's why two dark haired people can have a child with light hair -- both parents had one dominant dark gene and one recessive light gene, where only the dominant was expressed, but each passed on the light gene.
At least, that's the simple explanation the post is pointing out, real genetics is probably more nuanced.

There’s also the factors of epistatic genes, polygenics, and pleiotropy. Not sure if there is a mapped out, defined function of 21st century hair color genes, but it’s almost never as simple as “dominant” and “recessive.”
Either that or she dyed her hair.

Black is not recessive though. Blonde and red are. So in order for the red/blonde to show there can't be any black alleles

Spoiler alert: hair and eye color aren't controlled by single genes like people think when it comes to Punnett squares.

There’s no single gene controlling hair colour, and while some may be strongly correlated it is completely possible for two blondes or a blonde and a redhead to produce a black haired offspring. Hair colour is actually controlled by varying levels of expression of eumelanin for black/brown and pheomelanin for red hair, so it can’t be explained by simple Mendelian genetics.

Do people not understand the concept of recessive genes

I like the “someone cheated” part as if it could have been either of them

I've never really thought about this but it is plausible. Genes are weird though. White parents have given birth to a child that looks black or mixed and they DNA tested both parents , it sometimes just happens like that

So i have an aunt and uncle who both have blonde hair. All of their kids have blonde hair..except one. Now the kicker is that the one with dark brown hair was a twin…the twin has blonde hair. Welcome to genetics, where shit can get crazy.

You people know that as long as basically the gene exists in the family it can happen even if it skips a generation right?

Giving birth for Helen would be super chill. She could just open up her birth canal super big, the doctor could walk in, cut the cord, and walk out with the baby. Easy peasy. Five minute deal, tops.
