Syndrome's section has too much detail. He has his own article, after all. - Toptomcat 16:06, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Gazerbeam should be merged with Incredible characters. He was a minor character Huh? What was that noise? 08:15, 28 September 2006 (UTC)No-Dachi
I have merged the articles with only slight editing of Gazerbeam's entry to fit it into its new place. Anyone is welcome to further remove trivial content, fix links, etc. Eluchil404 18:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
The austrian comedian and entertainer Herbert Feuerstein worked as the german dub voice of Gilbert Huph - with whom he bears a striking optical resemblance - in the German language version of Pixar's "The Incredibles". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.74.159.165 ( talk) 23:17, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
I've moved the page to Characters from The Incredibles; since the movie is named The Incredibles the article should be capitalized, IMHO. I'm currently fixing double redirects and adding the newly supported redirects to sections, but would appreciate a second set of eyes to make sure that I have done everything correctly.

Their super power was able to turn things into metal they manged to defeat omnidroid vx6 but later killed by Omnidroid VX7.
Just passing through, I thought it was interesting that Bomb Voyage was originally intended to be named Bomb Pérignon, but the Dom Pérignon people would not endorse have a villain named after their product. This was revealed by Brad Bird in the DVD commentary, it may be worth noting in the article. Just a head's up. Annie D 09:40, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Bomb Voyage.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Since there appears to be an edit conflict between myself and Stealth500 over the Edna Mode section, it seems reasonable for me to explain my rationale as to my recent edits. The following are the aspects of the section I edited:
Edna cares a great deal about the supers who are willing to pay her a huge sum of money for her designs. This is not sourced, as it is a personal interpretation of the editor who placed it in the section. The character may very well care about the supers, but that is not a major aspect of her character. If anything, she appears (at least overtly) to be far more self-absorbed than caring. Any ally or fellow "good guy" can be said to care about them; it's not necessary to specify this. Since the page is already 32 kilobytes long, trimming it down to the essentials would seem reasonable to me.
Naturally, she had to warn Mr. Incredible about the impracticality of capes... She did not "have" to warn him, nor was it "natural", since again, this is the opinion of the editor who wrote this. Edna opined that she did not like capes for this reason, and chose to express her opinion thus, whereas Mr. Incredible favored capes, so it was her opinion. This is why I edited it to read
"Edna refuses to design super suits with capes, in light of the [supers killed by them]". Edna Mode is known for calling everyone Dahling (Darling). She designs the Parr family’s Supersuits, and the suits are designed in mind of the superpowers of each family member. Also one of her famous quotes is “Edna Mode” which is her password to get into her room. [1]
...which, prior to the ban on superheroes, led to the deaths of Dynaguy (strangled by his cape while flying with his rocket boosters), Meta-Man (his cape was caught in an elevator shaft while helping an elevator go up), Stratogale (whose cape caused her to get cut to pieces while helping a plane from a tornado and unexpectedly flew in front of the engine) , and Thunderhead (stuck on a missle when stopping a mad scientist from destroying the city) and the disappearance and possible death of Splashdown (whose cape caused him to be choked and sucked into a vortex). This level of detail is not necessary for a section that is on Edna Mode, rather than these other heroes. I also don't see why Stratogale's flying in front of the airliner was "unexpected". Again, the page is already giving size warnings, so this should be trimmed. The cause of these characters' deaths would more appropriate for the section in which they are listed, and not in Edna's. Let's keep the section succinct. Nightscream ( talk) 16:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't think I made that info look less important, I just think it was more relevant to those characters than Edna. I believe the characters in question are listed further below in the article. Since they don't have their own individual sections (due to the small amount of info on each), the only way to link to them is to link to the entire "Other superheroes" section. Thanks. Nightscream ( talk) 19:51, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I think the previous edit contains all the important info and is more streamlined. Nightscream ( talk) 03:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

In the Edit Summary for this edit, Horologium says "Removed statement about resembling Brad Bird; characters tend to resemble the actors who portary them." In fact, both Mr. Incredible and Syndrome were modeled after Brad Bird, as noted in the DVD commentary. While it is true that such characters often are modeled on their voice actors, this is not always true. Whether Incredible resemble Craig T. Nelson is debatable. But Syndrome looks nothing like Jason Lee (except possibly for aspects of his grin). Violet does not look like Sarah Vowell, and Edna Mode certainly looks nothing like Brad Bird.

I edited the page to add one sentence to compare Jack Jack to Franklin Richards and it was deleted. I find that odd since there are other comparisons to Fantastic Four characters or other comic characters all over the page. I thought it was a very well written and thoughtful sentence, and it's even mentioned on Jack Jack's wiki article. And, no, I did not write that sentence. So, it should either stand here or be deleted from his article as well. You all can do whatever you want. All the junk I try to do on this site just gets reversed anyway, so I don't care anymore. I'm adding it back and then letting it go, 'cause I don't think it did break any rules. I think someone is just trying to find any reason, however small, to delete it so they have something to do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.31.114.93 ( talk) 22:29, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
First of all, please do not blank content from articles or Talk Pages without just cause, as it this could be construed as vandalism. You should also sign your posts, which you can do by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of them. As to your points, let me see if I can address them in order:
I did not remove the material pertaining to Bird's comment about Jack-Jack. I only removed your POV comments about the FF. Bird's comments about Jack-Jack, which are properly sourced to the DVD commentary, are still there.
Parallels to the Fantastic Four constitute your personal point of view. Among Wikipedia's core policies is that all material must be supported by reliable sources cited in the text. Editors cannot add their own personal viewpoints to articles, as this violates Wikipedia's policy that requires articles to be written from a Neutral Point of View. Such interpretations of the material constitute original research, which is also strictly prohibited on Wikipedia. A source that establishes what Brad Bird says about the film is a valid source. An editor giving their personal interpretation bout parallels to the FF is not. Nor can other articles be used as sources.
There is no "hypocrisy" because this article was on my Watch List, but the other articles were not. Editors are not obligated to monitor the articles that others say they should. It's hardly my fault if I'm unaware of content on other articles, is it? However, I have since removed all other unsourced references that I could find on the other Incredibles-related articles, and added those to my Watch List as well, so this point is now consistent among all of them.
I have indeed seen in the movie many times, as I have it on DVD, and this is irrelevant to the issue. Editing is based on reliable sourcing, and not personal knowledge. Accusations regarding personal knowledge falls under WP:OWN, and are not appropriate in edit conflicts. If you have a source for a lawsuit by Stan Lee lawsuit, then feel free to add it. Barring that, interpretations of parallels are indeed derived from your opinion.
I understand that you're new to Wikipedia. If so, welcome! But you must understand that Wikipedia has certain policies that exist to ensure its reliability. I've been following these policies ever since I started on WP, as do all other reliable editors, and has nothing to do with trying to annoy anyone. If you look through my Edit History, you'll see this, so it's not about you. And given Wikipedia's policies on WP:Civility, Assume Good Faith and No Personal Attacks, accusing other editors in this way is not justified.
Feel free to check out the Welcome Page, and the Five Pillars if you wish to edit on Wikipedia, as following its policies is required. Thanks. :-) Nightscream ( talk) 04:32, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I come with this proposal to merge the following characters into this article:
because none of this characters have managed to prove notability outside The Incredibles media. With this, I mean that none of them have received deep coverage by reliable secondary sources, independent from the film or video games. Also, none of them have impact in popular culture. Most of these articles are unreferenced and are almost entirely in-universe. Their appearance in just one film and its derived media makes them no more relevant than other Pixar characters such as those from Finding Nemo, Wall E or A Bug's Life who have no articles at all or are just all in a single list. Thoughts? -- LoЯd ۞pεth 05:58, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Since there was no opposition, nor improvement of the articles by adding real-world content establishing notability, then I will perform the mergers. -- LoЯd ۞pεth 01:15, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
I've moved the following material here from the article until it can be properly sourced. I find it interesting, and it may be true, but the source provided for it does not appear to be an authoritative source considered reliable under WP:RS, but one person or group whose observations of similarities between the film and The Black Hole would constitute original research. I hope someone can find information to confirm this one way or the other:
The Omnidroid appears to have a design at least partially based upon that of Maximilian in another Disney film, The Black Hole. [1] The Omnidroid has a red eye and a hulking body, just like the aforementioned Maximilian. Maximilian is also referenced in a scene where the Omnidroid uses its legs as blades, twirling them like a fan. Maximilian does the same thing in the film to the good robot, V.I.N.CENT, before he is killed by V.I.N.CENT.

Violet's name alludes to "shrinking violet", which means a shy person (usually a girl) or as a reference to ultraviolet light, which is outside the visible spectrum. The name is also a reference to the violet color of her force fields. Edna Mode designed a sturdy super suit that turns invisible when Violet does (her normal clothes do not) and will not disrupt her force fields. The nature of Violet's powers naturally made the super suit a tricky one to fabricate, but nowhere near the potential challenge of designing a newer, more superpower-friendly super suit for Jack-Jack.
and
The emergence of Jack-Jack's lengthy list of superpowers, however, has the potential to make designing another, more superpower-friendly jumpsuit for Jack-Jack even more of a challenge for Edna than Violet's skintight unitard was.
I'm pretty sure that elastic-girl stretched more than Violet. Who made this shit up? The article is protected so I can't even add a cite-needed tag.
Could someone just clean up this whole article since it is protected? 76.185.84.11 00:00, 9 October 2010

"The Incredible Family are the main protagonists of the film."
Protagonist means “the leading character” so it is a tautology to refer to ‘main protagonist’ and it is debatable whether there can be more than one.

Since this page is mainly reiteration of the plot and has no real world content, character design, reception, etc. I propose to merge it into the characters section of the film's article, which already provides a list with descriptions of the characters. The Incredibles characters are no more notable than other Pixar characters like those from Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc., etc. Thoughts? -- LoЯd ۞pεth 02:34, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

The paragraph describing Elastigirl states "Originally a feminist while single, since her marriage to Bob Helen has become a dedicated spouse and mother, and is frustrated with her husband's continuing dreams of glory." This implies that Elastigirl was originally a feminist, but is no longer so because of her domestic relationships and responsibilities. A feminist is a person who believes that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. Elastigirl as a wife and mother is a strong female character and there is no evidence to support that she is not a feminist. Please omit the "Originally a feminist while single" phrase and leave the rest of the sentence intact to avoid creating an antithetical between being a feminist and having a family: "Since her marriage to Bob, Helen has become a dedicated spouse and mother, and is frustrated with her husband's continuing dreams of glory." 98.111.149.108 ( talk) 06:44, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
