‘Course, that plan comes with a dollop of irony: “To fix the law, I gotta break it,” Helen says. And the Parr family will be allowed to use its powers freely again. When it sees all the good that Elastigirl does, all those anti-super laws will collapse like an evil lair made of balsa wood. He wants to reintroduce Elastigirl to the world-and this time, her costume will come with a tiny camera (created by Winston’s sister, Evelyn) to show the world her derring-do. Winston meets with Bob, Helen, and their friend Lucius, aka Frozone, suggesting an all-out media blitz. No wonder they’re not so popular these days. They don’t see the heroes behind it and what made the destruction necessary. All the public sees is the destruction heroes leave in their wake.

Never mind that they conquered the evil Syndrome (as chronicled in the gritty documentary The Incredibles).
The Parr family knows all about the prejudice against superheroes. Why, the only folks who unreservedly love superheroes these days are insurance adjusters. The Avengers defeated Ultron in Sokovia, but they don’t exactly leave the city better than they found it. Superman and Zod destroy half of Metropolis in Man of Steel.
