“	The Screenslaver interrupts this program for an important announcement. Don't bother watching the rest. Elastigirl doesn't save the day; she only postpones her defeat. And while she postpones her defeat, you eat chips and watch her invert problems that you are too lazy to deal with. Superheroes are part of your brainless desire to replace true experience with simulation. You don't talk, you watch talk shows. You don't play games, you watch game shows. Travel, relationships, risk; every meaningful experience must be packaged and delivered to you to watch at a distance so that you can remain ever-sheltered, ever-passive, ever-ravenous consumers who can't free themselves to rise from their couches, break a sweat, and participate in life. You want superheroes to protect you, and make yourselves ever more powerless in the process. While you tell yourselves you're being "looked after". That your interests are being served and your rights are being upheld. So that the system can keep stealing from you, smiling at you all the while. Go ahead, send your supers to stop me. Grab your snacks, watch your screens, and see what happens. You are no longer in control. I am.	„
	~ “Screenslaver's” speech after hijacking the signal to Elastigirl's interview

“	You are good.	„
	~ Evelyn revealing to be the real Screenslaver.

Evelyn Deavor, also known by her supervillain name, the Screenslaver, is the main antagonist of Pixar's 20th full-length animated feature film Incredibles 2, the second installment in The Incredibles franchise.

She is the sister of Winston Deavor and the co-CEO of DevTech who wants to keep supers illegal due to their parents' deaths at all costs.

She was voiced by Catherine Keener.

Her Evil Ranking[]

What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Evil?[]

She brainwashed the driver of a train on the day of its inauguration in the city of New Urbem, hacking it and making it go reverse in the process so it would derail at the end of the track, which could have killed a lot of passengers had Elastigirl not intervened.
She interrupted an interview with Elastigirl about her train rescue by brainwashing the cast and intended to have an ambassador killed in a helicopter crash, whom she was able to save.
She brainwashed a pizzeria worker and made him put on the false alias as the Screenslaver, incriminating him.
When Elastigirl tracked down the decoy at an apartment building after setting up a fake interview as bait, she had him try to kill her with a weapon that neutralizes her elasticity, and when the super proved too much to handle, she had him activate a bomb that blew up part of the building after she caught him, nearly killing multiple residents there.
After Elastigirl realized that the Screenslaver's hypno-screens are also within its hypno-goggles during the celebration of the “Screenslaver’s” arrest at DevTech after she got them out of the mask the decoy was wearing, she brainwashed her by putting the hypno-goggles on her.
After revealing to Elastigirl that she was the real Screenslaver at a freezer room inside the Everjust yacht after disabling the goggles’ effects by remote, she mocked her for depending on her while talking about her blind hatred for supers due to what happened to her parents before brainwashing her again with the remote.
- During that time, when Elastigirl called her out for having the pizzeria worker framed, she showed no remorse for this, claiming he was rude to her and that the pizza he delivered to her was not warm.
She tricked Mr. Incredible into "rescuing" Elastigirl at a conference room aboard the ship and had Elastigirl brainwash him when he fell for her trap.
- She had also brainwashed the supers Voyd, He-Lectrix, Screech, Reflux, Brick, and Krushauer and had them attack the Parrs’ house to capture Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack, though they managed to escape the onslaught after Frozone was brainwashed as well.
She had Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone assault the crew controlling the yacht at the pilothouse after having them speak a vow about supers being threats to society just as Winston had an agreement legalizing them once again signed at the stern.
- Before she had Mr. Incredible knock the last crewman unconscious, she allowed him to call for help about the incident, intending to incriminate them for what's happening on the ship.
She had the three supers destroy both the wheel and controls on the ship, intending to have it crash into Municiberg, which would have caused hundreds to thousands of deaths.
She hypnotized the foreign delegates and other supers on the ship, planning to have them killed as well before escaping on its jet, dragging her brother along, though he refused to escape with her after discovering her plan.
After the supers broke free from her control with the help of Elastigirl and her family, when she chased after her and landed in the jet, she flew it higher in the sky, intending to have her killed by the low oxygen levels while taunting her that supers' reputations are officially tarnished with the chances of them regaining their legality impossible.
Even though Elastigirl saved her from falling to her death in the ocean below, she showed no remorse over her crimes nor any gratitude, blatantly telling her that what she did doesn't make her a hero before getting sent to jail.
While not as heinous as Syndrome or the Underminer, she stands out due to having fewer resources than them, her personal villainy towards Elastigirl and supers, as well as nearly causing a similar death count to Syndrome's.
- Furthermore, she passes the heinous standards to Mirage, who redeemed herself by helping Parr's family to stop Syndrome's evil plot.
- Even if Syndrome was partially and indirectly responsible for her descent into villainy by spawning the Super Relocation Act, which led to her parents' death, it ultimately doesn't tone down her actions, as they were done independently from him and her brother went pretty much the same tragedy as her, yet he didn't become evil.

What Prevents Her from Being Pure Evil?[]

She has a genuine tragedy as she and her brother experienced their father being shot and her mother dying from heartbreak afterwards with this being the motivating factor for her actions throughout the film. While it doesn't justify her actions, it's still played for sympathy as she was saddened when she explained her parents' deaths to Elastigirl.
She does value her family as her parents' deaths are the reason why she turned evil, and she also tried to save her brother from getting killed with the delegates and supers on the Everjust by dragging him with her onto its jet.

Trivia[]

Evelyn is the first Pixar NPE to be female; not counting Giulia, who is only a draft character for Cars 2, which ironically has Grem and Acer.
- Coincidentally, their shared NPE status is backed up by their different moral reasons (though, Evelyn's is completely definite, while Giulia's is potentially preventable).
Although she is NPE, she is oddly given more sufficient sympathetic qualities than both Downpour and Lurleane form The Good Dinosaur, her fellow female Pixar antagonists who are more inherently vicious than she was.
