RE: Superhero Ripoffs (possible spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2004)

First off, as a father of three in my mid twenties, I think this is one of the best Pixar movies, right up there with Toy Story. I think branding has definitely emerged, as Shrek/Shrek2/Shark Tale were definitely for older crowds while Pixar's movies are always age appropriate. As for Fox, their second film is yet to come out (Robots) so we will see after that. Fox does manage to capture really big voice talent, though...
Now, I am by far not a comic book geek, I own none but I used to runa hobby store and sell (and play) heroclix, a miniatures game based on the DC, Marvel, and indy comics. Some CB Geeks I played with filled in background.
Anyway, just to tie in the spoofs: (IMO clever, as someone else said you can't trademark super powers and the labels have been ripping off each other for decades, ie Plasticman/Mr Fantastic)
Mr. Incredible: Um, anyone with superstrength...lots (incl. Thing from Fantastic 4) Elastigirl - Plasticman, Mr Fantastic, Spiderman (a few reminiscent moves in the battle with the robot) Dash - Fl(ash) Violet - Invisible girl/woman Jak Jak - Human Torch (completing the Fantastic 4 within the family)/Colussus (steel/Titanium skin)/ and Beast (change of appearance w/ increased agility and strength.)
Note how Edna had made the baby's costume fireproof and bulletproof (As is Colossus' skin)
GazerBeam - cyclops Frozone - Iceman, complete with Ice Skating
Feel free to chime in here...
