9 Ways The Incredibles Ripped Off The Fantastic Four
May 7, 2025
For two decades, superhero fans have leaned into a running joke that Pixar's The Incredibles (2004) is the best Fantastic Four movie ever made. This joke exists because The Incredibles was very clearly inspired by Marvel's iconic superhero family, so much so that many fans believe The Incredibles is a parody of The Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four movies also have a reputation for being giant flops, which Marvel hopes to change with its upcoming film The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025).
The Incredibles has its own identity and manages to tell its own story about a superhero family forced to hide their superpowers. It's not a direct "rip-off" of The Fantastic Four, but it's hard to deny that the animated film features a lot of similarities. For a hardcore Fantastic Four fan, these parallels might seem obvious, but for many young watchers, The Incredibles was their first introduction to superhero media.

In The Incredibles (2004), superheroes Bob and Helen Parr get married and have three children, Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack. The Parr children are born in a world where superheroes aren't allowed to use their powers in public or fight crime in any way. Bob continues doing secret undercover work by listening in on police scanners, which puts the entire family at risk. When Edna Mod, a fashion designer who used to specialize in supersuits for heroes, discovers Bob is still doing the job, she makes him a brand-new suit.
