** Since the movie is canonically set in The60s, and yet Frozone seems to have no trouble being a black superhero, does this world [[PoliticallyCorrectHistory lack the racism]] of the real 60s US? Or is it just that a combination of living in the [[UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement Civil Rights Era]] and a New York-esque city make it easier for him than it would be for a Black person in another time and place? He does seem to be the only black superhero (at least according to the [[AllThereInTheManual NSA records]]), so perhaps in this universe, he's some kind of barrier-breaking icon of '60s progressiveness. It's confirmed in the Mr. Incredible and Pals commentary that the concept of racism does exist in this universe, but to what extent it does is unknown.

* MemeticPsychopath: Some people like to joke about Dash being a potential supervillain in the making due to the ridiculously high [[WhatMeasureIsAMook body count]] he racks up among Syndrome's velocipod troops during their pursuit of him. Granted, almost all of them got themselves killed due to their own stupidity, but Dash ''barely'', if at all, seems to find the deaths of all these people distressing.

* CompleteMonster: [[EvilCounterpart Syndrome]] was once [[LoonyFan Buddy Pine]], an aspiring hero [[ItsAllAboutMe seeking fame and fortune]], who became outraged at all Supers when his "idol", Mr. Incredible, ceased his attempts at being a hero for his own safety. [[FromNobodyToNightmare Over a decade later]], Syndrome enacts his revenge, as he creates the "Omnidroid", a Super-killing machine that he uses to massacre Supers he lures in to duel it under the illusion it is simply a rogue robot. Upon capturing and torturing Mr. Incredible--notably forcing him to listen as his wife and children are seemingly killed by Syndrome's forces--Syndrome unveils his master plan to launch the Omnidroid into a highly-populated city, have it target innocents at random, then swoop in and "[[EngineeredHeroics save the day]]" to become the greatest hero in the world. When the Incredibles foil this plan, Syndrome makes one last attempt to spitefully ruin the family by kidnapping their infant child, Jack-Jack, and raising him to be a supervillain.

* BrokenAesop: Spoofed in one of the bonus features on the DVD which had a superhero who was a FriendToAllChildren and worked regularly to keep them safe and educated give a speech about how important it is to stay in school, since the superhero in question dropped out. However, he quickly realizes he is mangling the Aesop with him saying things like "stay in school, or you'll end up like me", since he is famous and well-beloved and has superpowers. He does not quite know how to proceed once he figures out that this is not sending the correct message.

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Syndrome is a LaughablyEvil PsychopathicManchild whose hamminess makes him pretty memorable and entertaining to watch, even if he commits a bunch of heinous acts such as murdering dozens of superheroes or stealing a toddler from his family. Gilbert Huph, meanwhile, is shown to be a despicable CorruptCorporateExecutive who encourages his employees to avoid helping clients with their insurance claims to ensure low payouts and high profits for the stockholders. He shows a total LackOfEmpathy towards a mugging occurring right outside his window and even threatens to fire Bob if the latter tries to intervene.

** While it does cause him to lose his job, it is nonetheless immensely satisfying to see Bob throw Mr. Huph through several walls for his complete lack of compassion towards the mugging victim and being a bullying MeanBoss towards him in general. Even more so for viewers who also have to deal with a rude employer like Huph.

* SelfFanservice: Elastigirl and Violet tend to get this treatment a lot in most fanart, with Elastigirl's assets enhanced even further to incredible proportions (helping her case of having elasticity powers, meaning she can do this in reality), and most fanart of Violet tends to show her gaining the same amount of assets as her mom when she becomes an adult, with some fanart even going the extra mile by having Violet give herself an [[ImportantHaircut similarly length haircut]] to match her mom's.

* EsotericHappyEnding: Although Syndrome has been defeated, and the Parr family has become closer, their home was destroyed in the battle, loads of Supers have died by Syndrome's hand, and being a superhero is still illegal. Thankfully, the sequel would come and remedy these issues.

** One of the popular couplings is Mirage/Violet. They never appear on-screen together in close proximity, outside of the games.

** One of the popular couplings is Mirage/Violet. They never appear on-screen together in close proximity, outside of the games. ''[[Literature/ATwistedTale Suddenly Super]]'', a darker WhatIf take on the first film that has [[spoiler:Violet working with Syndrome]] fixes this tremendously with Mirage bonding with Violet.

** Mirage, who is punched by Helen. Although this was because she mistakenly assumed them to be having an affair, those who disliked Mirage thought she had it coming for willingly helping Syndrome, a sociopathic former fanboy-turned-supervillain murders dozens of superheroes. The fact that she is EasilyForgiven (helping the Parrs escape only after her own life is threatened and Syndrome reacts nonchalantly to the situation by daring Bob to go for it) and falls into KarmaHoudini territory in the end doesn't help matters.
