Random Incredibles Fan Theories (13 items)

  (#10) Violet Parr Is An Older Boo From 'Monsters Inc.'

  Redditor/u/Ozzertron's theory is enough to make any Pixar fan squeal. Ozzertron has a pretty in-depth theory, so here is the TL;DR version:

  • When Sully and Boo play hide and seek in the locker room, Sully is amazed at how good she is at hiding. Ozzertron suggests her powers are assisting her, as she's subconsciously using them to become invisible.
  • Initially, Violet struggles to use her powers in the movie when she really needs them for lack of confidence. Boo is only able to "use her powers" when she's having fun with Sully, but not when she's in real danger.
  • The two just look alike.
  • Early on in Monsters, Inc., it is established how each professional scarer is assigned to children that suit them the best. Randall's camouflage or "invisibility," would be ideal for a toddler coming to terms having similar superpowers. Randall would be the representation of what Boo doesn't understand about herself or possibly what she may become.
  • Boo is comfortable with Sully because his big, hulking frame is reminiscent of her father's.
  • Boo had a cameo in Toy Story 3, proving that Pixar is willing to cross-over their properties.

  (#13) Buddy Is The Son Of Psycwave And Universal Man

  This theory argues that Buddy Pine AKA Syndrome is a non-Super even though he's the son of two super powered beings, specifically Psycwave and Universal Man. The evidence supporting this theory is multi-faceted:

  • Buddy clearly has a complex. He desperately wishes to be a hero, perhaps because his parents both have powers and he doesn't.
  • Buddy was neglected as a child due to his parents' busy lifestyle. 
  • Bob Parr seems to be familiar with Buddy's mother, and it's established the Parrs are friends with many superheroes.
  • Psycwave and Universal Man are first on Syndrome's "kill list," suggesting a personal vendetta against them.
  • Syndrome's island base is similar to that of the Phantasmics, a former superhero team, which included Psycwave.

  (#3) Despite His Claims, Syndrome Actually Is A Super And His Power Is Intelligence

  Redditor/u/FrankWest21CP doesn't believe Syndrome's assertion that he lacks powers, but instead thinks it's possible he possesses super intelligence:

  "Very early in the movie, Buddy (later known as Syndrome) admits that he has no powers but makes up for it with his inventions. The first invention we see are his rocket boots, and later on we see a myriad of brilliant gadgets such as zero point energy, tiny bombs, life sign scanning probes, an artificially intelligent battle robot, etc.

  All of these brilliant inventions make me think Syndrome actually did have a super power: Super Intelligence. Seriously, you surely have to be one smart cookie to craft such incredible pieces of technology, right?

  One might say Syndrome wasn't actually very smart because he made some really idiotic mistakes, such as letting the Incredibles live, using a cape, underestimating his battle robot's intelligence, etc. However, I think that these mistakes have more to do with his arrogance than his intelligence. He was so smart that he considered himself infallible and unbeatable, which caused him to grossly underestimate his enemies. This lead to his master plan failing almost immediately as well as his death."

  (#11) Mr. Incredible Really Did Cheat On His Wife With Mirage

  In the first act of The Incredibles, Helen Parr suspects her husband of being unfaithful after finding a blonde hair on his suit. He acts very shady as he tries to hide his heroic exploits, which only adds to her suspicion. The audience is led to believe Bob Parr is only sneaking around playing the hero again.  

  Redditor/u/ogwalt thinks he may have actually had an affair. This Redditor points out Bob is never shown in close enough proximity to Mirage while in his suit to actually pick up one of her hairs. Mirage also appears to be attracted to Mr. Incredible. Also, Mirage is unaware that Bob is married until she meets Helen, so she wouldn't have had that hangup if he did indeed make a move on her.

  (#4) The Government Was In Cahoots With Syndrome To Wipe Out The Supers

  Redditor/u/HoneybeeHound has an incredibly cynical theory suggesting Syndrome's genocide of superheroes was actually sanctioned by the government:

  "Remember those government agents in The Incredibles? Their job was to watch the Supers while they were retired to make sure they didn't reveal themselves to strangers. They run the relocation program. When Mr. Incredible throws his boss through several walls, an agent offers to relocate him then decides it would better to wipe away everyone's memory MIB style. So their job is to watch Supers so they could prevent situations like that. If there job is to watch Supers, why didn't they do anything or show concern when Supers were disappearing? How did they not know that they were being escorted to Syndrome's island? That was like their main job right? According to the film, a majority of the Supers were killed, so its weird they chose to not care.

  That is unless they were working with Syndrome or at least tolerating his experiments. Syndrome was the best solution on dealing with the Supers. Killing them off meant the government didn't have to spend a fortune protecting them and cleaning up their mistakes. In exchange, Syndrome was making high tech for the government. Syndrome was a business entrepreneur - he had to have high end customers. It makes sense he would sell to the suits. He betrays them when he takes over the city, but still no one gave a sh*t when he killed Supers. Who would miss them if they appeared like seclusive ordinary citizens? The suits weren't expecting the Incredibles to make it off Syndrome's island alive."

  (#12) Mr. And Mrs. Incredible Possess Clairvoyance In Addition To Their Other Powers

  Redditor/u/SupaBloo believes the Incredibles are concealing even more powers, citing the names of the children as proof Helen and Bob Parr possess clairvoyance:

  "Mr. and Mrs. Incredible have three children. Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack. Each child seems to be obviously named for their superpowers.

  • Dash has super speed, so his name perfectly reflects his ability.
  • Violet can disappear, which is like the ultraviolet spectrum of light that humans can't see. Violet can also create force fields, which just so happen to be the color violet.
  • Jack-Jack begins to show his powers at the end of the movie, and it turns out he has a range of different powers, making him somewhat of a jack of all trades.

  Unless Dash and Violet were named after displaying their powers (or unless their powers surfaced right at birth), then Bob and Helen got really lucky that their powers just happened to perfectly match their names. We know that Jack-Jack was not named after his powers being displayed, because they don't surface until well after his birth and name are given. As per DVD extras, Frozone mentions his powers surfaced one day when he wanted a popsicle, so from this we also know that not all supers get their powers at birth.

  If Jack-Jack is any indication, then the other two kids were named before displaying powers. What are the chances of just randomly picking three names that match super powers so well? I think one (or both) of the parents has some minor clairvoyance, and were attracted to those names because on some level they subconsciously knew those names would work out perfectly."
