Have you ever read The Watchmen or Powers comics?  It’s in here.  Remember the old Spidey, Superman, Batman, etc….Yeah, it’s in here.  Just like Prego spaghetti sauce, it’s in here.

But it’s not just that.  There’s also the characters.  More developed than almost any other superhero flick with the possible exceptions of Raimi’s Spiderman, Donner’s Superman, and Shyamalan’s Unbreakable, The Incredible’s hands us a truly believable superhuman family that we can relate to on the most basic, Leave it to Beaver level.  Violet, the teenage girl, can turn invisible, just like she believes she is to the boy she likes.  The super speedy boy, Dash, is a typical ten year old… with the Flash’s ability.  Mom, Elastigirl, wants more than anything to keep her family together in whatever way will best do the job, and has mothering instinct out the wazoo.  Mom and Dad are sexually attracted to each other, have arguments about raising the kids and have their faults.  Dad has an ego, and little boy side to him.  Mom can be a little too controlling.  Violet is a insecure as most other 14 year old girls and Dash is as reckless and headstrong.
