The Underminer (The Incredibles)
Last Updated on: November 28th, 2024
Who is The Underminer?
The Underminer is a secondary antagonist introduced at the end of Pixar’s The Incredibles (2004) and makes a brief appearance in Incredibles 2 (2018). He is a villain who emerges from underground, equipped with a massive drilling machine, and declares his intent to bring chaos to the surface world.
Unlike most villains, the Underminer doesn’t have a deep, personal vendetta against the Incredibles. Instead, he’s motivated by a desire to topple society, as he declares, “I am always beneath you, but nothing is beneath me!” This line reflects his anarchic ambition to disrupt and undermine (pun intended) the established order.
The character was voiced by veteran actor John Ratzenberger, who has provided voices for characters in many Pixar films, a tradition starting with Toy Story (1995), where he voiced Hamm the piggy bank. Ratzenberger’s recognizable voice and comedic timing give the Underminer a uniquely menacing yet somewhat humorous presence, contributing to the character’s appeal.
The Underminer is notable for embodying the classic, over-the-top supervillain archetype, with Ratzenberger’s voice lending him an almost theatrical flair that makes his short screen time memorable. Although he serves as more of an appetizer to the Incredibles’ adventures than a primary threat, his sudden appearance propels the family into action, reminding audiences that even after the defeat of Syndrome, there will always be new villains on the horizon.
