Behold, the Underminer! I am always beneath you but nothing is beneath me! I hereby declare war on peace and happiness! Soon all will tremble before me!
~ The Underminer's speech.
Consider yourselves... UNDERMINED!!!
~ The Underminer before robbing the bank.

Doug Talpid, better known as The Underminer, is a minor antagonist in both Pixar's 6th full-length animated feature film The Incredibles and its sequel Incredibles 2. He also appeared with larger roles as the titular main antagonist of the 2005 spin-off video game, The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer, and as a major antagonist in The Incredibles comic books by Boom! Studios.

He was voiced by John Ratzenberger who also voiced Hamm's evil counterpart Dr. Porkchop in the Toy Story movies.

Biography[]

The Incredibles[]

Three months after the defeat of Syndrome and the Omnidroid, the Underminer appears at the end of the film, where he announces his "war on peace and happiness." The Parr family then put on their masks, ready to battle him.

Incredibles 2[]

Aw, great. Now, HE'S on the agenda.
~ The Underminer after accidentally vacuuming Mr. Incredible.

Immediately after the events of the first film, the Underminer's drill begins tunneling downwards, with Mr. Incredible struggling to break into it. At a certain depth, the Underminer detonates several bombs, which causes the Metroville Municiberg Bank to fall down below. As the Underminer loots the safe, he is confronted by Mr. Incredible, who he engages in combat. He commands his drill to dig upwards, forcing Mr. Incredible to abandon pursuing him and allowing him to slip away. The Incredibles successfully prevent the drill from destroying the city, but at the cost of thwarting the Underminer and their chance for becoming legal again.

By the end of the film, following the Screenslaver's arrest, it is likely that the Underminer is still at large, but thanks to the supers having been declared legal again thanks to Elastigirl's and Winston Deavor's efforts, catching the Undermine and bringing him to justice will not be a trouble anymore next time the Underminer strikes back.

Other Media[]

The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer[]

Following where the first film left off, the Underminer orders killer robots to wage war on Metroville, and Elastigirl and the kids fight off the surface invasion while Mr. Incredible and Frozone follow the Underminer into the depths of his underground city.

The Underminer's plans are then revealed: to activate a machine called the Magnomizer, which would pollute the Earth above. The two superheroes manage to destroy the machine and the Underminer, ending his war and minions before it began. This is an alternative timeline as he returns in Incredibles 2.

Trivia[]

  • The Underminer is the only Incredibles villain to appear in both movies.
  • The Underminer is directly influenced by the Mole Man from Marvel Comics.
  • The Underminer and Bomb Voyage are the only villains in the series to succeed in their plan, being the only Incredibles villains to get away and not get punished for their crimes.
  • The Underminer's voice actor, John Ratzenberger, voices a character in almost every Pixar film. However, The Underminer is the only villainous character he voices; all other characters voiced by him are good or neutral unless one were to count his Toy Story character Hamm when he is being played with as Dr. Porkchop.
