History[]
He-Lectrix is seen for the first time with Voyd, Brick, Screech, Reflux and Krushauer in Winston's office to be introduced to Elastigirl as his way of showing her examples of aspiring superheroes who both look up to her and no longer have to be in hiding as a result of their efforts to restore their reputation. When Voyd shows off his powers, he claps along with the other superheroes and says it's 'cool'. When Elastigirl drops by that little party and asks the other superheroes what their superpowers are, He-Lectrix briefly shows her its. Later, as Winston goes to Evelyn and Helen, he gives He-Lectrix a friendly pat on the shoulder (while he is talking to Voyd) and is shocked when she touches him, and Winston laughs at her. Later in the film, however, after Elastigirl was kidnapped and hypnotized by Evelyn (Screenslaver) and her husband Mr. Incredible left to save her, it turns out that He-Lectrix and the other superheroes have also been hypnotized with the hypno-goggles, and break into the new Parr house to kidnap the boys. Frozone arrives just in time and allows the kids to escape before being caught by Brick and hypnotized by Screech by having another pair of the goggles forced on him. Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack, after having gone far enough with the Incredibile, rush to Winston's yacht in secret. The children save their parents and Frozone from hypnosis, after which they proceed to battle and free all the other supers. While He-Lectrix and the other Supers rescue the passengers of the disabled yacht, Mr. Incredible and Frozone change its course by from crashing into the city by veering the underwater propeller to the right and using the latter's ice while Elastigirl and Voyd capture Evelyn, who tried to escape, and as a result, is arrested. He-Lectrix is seen for the last time with all the other supers in a Metroville court where it's officially decreed by the government that they are no longer outlawed.

Trivia[]
- He-Lectrix's design is similar to the scrapped character named Nelson Deavor, who was supposed to be a brother of Wilson and Evelyn Deavor and the main antagonist of the movie, although he was scrapped because directors felt they needed a female villain instead and gave Nelson's design to He-Lectrix's.
- His superhero name is a pun on "he" (obviously referencing his gender), "electric" (alluding to his electrokinetic powers), and "tricks" (given his ability to use his powers in different tricks).
- Additionally, his civilian surname Current is easily in reference to electrical currents, which have two types: direct (DC) and alternating (AC).
