The Incredibles (2004) - 27 trivia entries
Directed by Brad Bird, starring Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson (add more)
Other supers from the movie that mimic comic book heroes (disregarding gender): Psycwave is Professor X, Phylange is Banshee, Blazestone is Pyro, Thunderhead is Storm, Gazerbeam is Cyclops, Apogee is Sunspot, and Gamma Jack is Ultraverse's Atom Bob. Jack-Jack also briefly manifests the powers of the Human Torch and the Incredible Hulk and the board that Frozone uses near the end is reminiscent of the Silver Surfer.
Syndrome acts almost identically to Gizmo from the Teen Titans comics. Both of them are extraordinarily brilliant, insanely arrogant geniuses that plan to use highly advanced technology to get their way. Plus, both of them died because of their overconfidence (Syndrome, because he didn't think that a cape might be a bad idea, and Gizmo, who got shot while trying to take out his boss after a raid on Lexcorp Industries).
Originally, an old man named Snug Porter was going to fly the plane that Helen flew to Syndrome's HQ. In the first script the favor she called in for was for him to fly her to HQ, not just lend her a plane. When the explosion blew up the plane it was implied that he didn't survive. They cut the scene because they couldn't give him enough screen time to make the audience sad when he died. You see one shot of him when Elastigirl picks up the photo while she is on the phone. He is also in the background of the wedding scene. The entire cut sequence can be seen in its basic storyboard form on the DVD extras.
