Sue Richards knocked out the Hulk? I didn't realize she was strong; I thought she was merely invisible.
Oh, and what's the scoresheet on Thing vs. Hulk, anyway? They fought again recently.
Monty: Whaddya mean she ain't my wife? Mal: She ain't your wife... cause she's married to me.

I thought she was merely invisible.
So are the force fields that she knocked the Hulk out with.

So she can do force fields? So Violet is entirely a mini-Mrs. Fantastic? Nifty.

I have a plan.
Yeah, she is. Never thought about that. Huh!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The Incredible family maps to the FF pretty well. Elastigirl to Reed, Violet to Sue, and Mr. Incredible to the Thing. Plus, the baby can burst into flame.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Which is almost as funny a take on the FF as Dr. Impossible's clan in the Venture Bros. episode "Ice Station Impossible". So wrong.

Yep. I totally got a FF vibe off them (didn't think of Mr. Incredible as the Thing, though I guess that works well enough), and I was very happy to see Jack-Jack pull a Human Torch. But I had no idea Sue could do force fields too, so Violet's power seemed a little arbitrary. Now? So much sense! Awesome.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Well, the Human Torch flighty nature seems to map onto Dash, while his actual powers seem to map onto Jack-Jack, while the Thing's appearance maps onto Jack-Jack while his strength goes to Mr. Incredible.
Reed's ability to turn a toaster into a gateway to the negative zone, his giant squishy brain ability, seems to have missed this particular clan...
What I particularly liked was that the foe at the end of the movie, mapped very well with Mole-man, the foe from the very first appearance of the FF.

I have a plan.
In the end though, they aren't the FF. And a lot of their powers are pretty standard in superhero worlds. I saw that The Incredible's abilities were more closely tied to their personalities.

That's awesome.
And what do you know, the latest EW has a First Look at Julian McMahon as Dr. Doom. He looks like a metal dude in a dark green hood. Which, well, is what he looks like, right?
