Franchise description
Written by Brad Bird, he took the story with him to Pixar. The Incredibles became the sixth feature film from Pixar. It was presented by Disney and released by Buena Vista Distribution in North America on November 5, 2004, and in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland on November 26 of the same year.

The story begins on the night of his wedding to Elastigirl, the superhero Mr. Incredible takes time to fight crime in the city of Metroville. While he is attempting to capture the villainous Bomb Voyage during a bank robbery, Buddy Pine, an obsessed fan of Mr. Incredible posing as Mr. Incredible's sidekick "IncrediBoy," attempts to help. Buddy's interference almost kills him, and Mr. Incredible is forced to allow Voyage to escape in order to save him. But lawsuits filed by people saved by Mr. Incredible that night produce a public backlash against those with superpowers. These "Supers" are forced to abandon their heroic roles and adapt to a normal, regular life. Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl settle down in suburbia as Bob and Helen Parr and raise a family. Fifteen years later, their children appear to have super powers as well - the hot-headed Dash possesses super speed, while timid Violet has the ability to turn invisible and create force fields. Their toddler, Jack-Jack, has yet to show any special abilities. Bob is miserable and frustrated in his insurance job; denied his life as a Super, his only sense of accomplishment comes from authorizing payouts to injured clients. He hates his job not only because he has trouble with clients, but because of his frustrating and heartless boss. As an outlet, he and his best friend, fellow former Super Lucius Best, aka Frozone, sneak off at night to fight petty crimes. Following one such night, he is told to see his boss Gilbert Huph. During the talk with Huph, Bob sees a man being mugged, but Huph prevents Bob from rescuing the victim. The mugger escapes and Bob is understandably furious, but Huph continues berating Bob. Before Huph can finish telling Bob how close he was to losing his job, Bob throws him through four walls. Bob later learns that he has lost his job when he visits Huph in the hospital. When Bob returns home, depressed, he discovers a mysterious message from a woman named Mirage, outlining an offer for Mr. Incredible: to stop a rogue robot, the Omnidroid 9000, on a distant island (named "Nomanisan" Island,) for a large sum of money. Bob accepts the job, and though the fight is difficult at first—Bob is badly out of shape—he is successful and his depression is lifted. On the promise of more work from Mirage, Bob keeps up the pretense of still having his insurance job while he spends the days working himself back up into shape. Bob visits his old friend Edna Mode, who has moved on to designing for supermodels, to get his torn suit repaired.

A video game based on the film was released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance, PC, Apple Macintosh, and mobiles. Though based on the movie, several key scenes are altered from the original script.

A second game, The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer, was released for PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, Mac OS X, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and Windows. Taking place immediately after the movie, the sequel focuses on Mr. Incredible and Frozone as they do battle with the megalomaniacal mole, The Underminer.

In July 2008, it was announced that a series of comic books based on The Incredibles would be published by BOOM! Studios in collaboration with Disney Publishing by the end of the year.

The first two miniseries by BOOM! were The Incredibles: Family Matters by Mark Waid and Marcio Takara, which was published from March to June 2009, and collected into a trade paperback published in July of that year. The next miniseries, The Incredibles: City of Incredibles, by Waid, Landry Walker, and artists Marcio Takara and Ramanda Kamarga, was published later that same year.

In Super Smash Flash 2
The franchise makes no return into Super Smash Flash 2, no characters and no stages see the light in this sequel, the reason for this could be that Mr. Incredible was just added as a filler character in the first game and made no significance importance as the rest of the roster, besides, the addition of this character has been badly critizied even among the game developers. However, exists the posibility Mr. Incredible can return as one of the many collectible trophies in the game.
