THE INCREDIBLES is one of the most beloved Pixar movies, and this makes sense seeing how it's Super Heroes and Family combined. But with so many super abilities under one roof, I have to ask: Which Incredible is the "most super?" Well, Loyal Theorists, I've found the answer, and it's not who you're expecting!

Violet might also have the best reaction time of the family. At the start of the film, she put up a field remotely in Dash’s path to intercept him. So her force fields aren’t just insanely strong but can appear basically instantaneously.

[@mulch2]

Dash was moving in a circular pattern, by the time dash realized there was something in his way it would be little to no time to coarse correct. Also take the weird helicopter scene in the cave, when dash realize that a helicopter what’s coming his way he took time about two seconds to change his path

[@2763yearOldYoyleBread]

I think Violet is the best since she is just a teenager and she will become better at some point although she’s already over powered in my opinion since she can technically lift stuff and fly technically. Not including Jack Jack since he’s still a baby so his powers are undetermined at the moment.

[@bms2374]

12:31 ayo what the teacher doin?

[@hacklordmonster8780]

there's one thing you missed in the calculation: friction. no matter how strong the father is, it's still the rails that hold him. friction only resists up to a certain amount of force, which depends on the rails' friction coefficient and mr incredible's mass, so unless he weighs like a few tons he is gonna slide no matter what.

[@pokemagetech]

He can’t stop it TOO fast or the passengers go flying and get severely injured. Also, he’s redirecting some of the force downward.

[@hacklordmonster8780]

@@pokemagetech it doesn't really matter that he redirects the force down, because in doing that he just lifts the train a little bit, so it might add a little more resistance if the friction between his shoes and the rail is higher than the friction between the wheels and the rail (which is likely) there's still a limit to the force he can apply. in addition, rails generally have a lower coefficient to allow the train a smooth ride. i might be wrong and there might be an element of him trying to moderate the slowing down, but either way the point is that that scene is not a good indication for his power at all. tl;dr: while he might be able to maximize the friction by lifting the train, i don't think that would be noticeable enough to allow him the further control over the slowing rate. i might be wrong though it depends on too many variables.

[@Aurich88]

In order to actually protect the children from the force of the explosion, she must have resisted it with her body. If she merely formed a durable blanket around them, she would just become the medium through which the shockwave splats the kids. I mean yeah the missiles in the display case were totally meant to narratively explain their survival, but when you think about the physics the video happens to be right.

In your analysis of Violet’s powers, you forgot to account for gravity on the robot - mass and weight are not the same thing. Since the robot is under the effect of gravity, its mass should be multiplied by 9.8 m/s to get the weight. Both Violet and Mr. Incredible are vastly more powerful than your calculations show.

[@allthingsaddi]

Yeah the whole video is full of ridiculous physics miscalculations. Showed this to my physics professor from last year and he cringed the whole time. He says MatPat would’ve failed his class with a video like this.

[@christinahe8442]

He did multiply it by 9.8 m/s^2 to get 181 million N, which is the weight

[@NeroDefogger]

how can this have 135??!! that's precisely the thing, indeed we confuse weight so much we double confuse it, indeed mass is not force, we automatically usually assume the earth's gravity and multiply by 9.8, and we usually have to stop that and actually use the mass in an other way or use a different acceleration or gravity, but PRECISELY this time, what? they are not on earth? they have a different gravity? if that is your point then say so, the only assumption made was precisely the one is usually done, that we are in earth's gravity, and indeed the number is multiplied by 9.8, 135 people really were confused about that? and then I get mad about the ACTUAL things that are sketchy...

[@FraMurgia]

The strenght of the force field would be a lot stronger if you take into account that bullets apply their force over a very tiny surface area. To create a force field that properly blocks bullets from all direction you should be able to apply that force over the whole surface area of the shield and in very short timeframes (hence a lot more power is needed) , which makes it a lot more impressive.

Couldn’t it also be that Mr Incredible is a little smarter than we think he is? I mean, if he had exerted a hundred times the force he used in the train scene, he would have stopped it instantly, killing everyone. We know that he can control his strength due to him being able to punch people and not turn them into a bloody pulp. Also, look at him saving the guy who tried to commit suicide, if Mr. Incredible had used the force he used in the train scene, he would have murdered him. It seems like Mr. Incredible could just be using the absolute minimum force he needs to in every situation we see him in for fear of completely destroying what he is trying to protect. In the robot scene, he uses as much force as he can since he either saves his kids or fails and all three die. I just like this explanation more than the ‘family love’ explanation

True. If Mr.Incredible were to use all his strength to stop the train completely, it would have caused a deadly whiplash to the passengers inside.

[@Boojum_Tree]

7:44 I believe her suit is designed to be super durable, and in the demonstration, we can see that it is resistant to a large variety of hazards, including intense heat. Now, typically, blast force would be a hazard, but this is a character who is naturally durable as heck, and naturally immune to blunt force, like Luffy from ONE PIECE. However, assuming here body has a similar chemical structure to a character like Luffy, who is composed entirely of rubber, heat would be extremely dangerous, as rubber and other flexible materials are not immune to melting. On the matter of the exposed parts of her form, in the original scene, she can be seen tucking her head and arms into the shield as she rolls into a ball. This was just a thing I noticed and wanted to bring up, so yeah.

[@stevenarvizu3602]

About Mr. Incredible being stronger when his child’s life is in danger, it _can_ be described as hysterical strength, but I believe what you were referring to was neural inhibition which is more well researched. Humans do not use 100% of their actual strength due to neural inhibition, where the nervous system uses a series of inhibitor neurons that are attached to other neurons in the body so that as a signal is sent to to a muscle to move, it gradually loses some of the signal sent which reduces the action potential (the actual movement of that muscle) of a given muscle. While scientists do not know for certain why this exists, what we do know is it essentially keeps you from using all of your strength at any given task. This is likely an evolutionary trait that keeps your body from operating on a knives edge, where using all of your strength without a reliable source of food renders your body incapable of finding something to eat before starving to death whereas a more efficient approach may make you able to last longer between meals as well as keeping strength in reserve for when it’s needed. Scientists know that your body mediates these inhibitors, meaning they are not roadblocks, they are doors that your brain can open or close when needed. What could make them open? Desperation. The mix of endorphins and adrenaline is likely to cause one of the greatest fight or flight responses of your life, which could cause your body to open the neural pathways and giving you access to your body’s full strength, while afterwards you would be incredibly tired and exhausted, you would likely feel almost twice as strong for time. Also the reason this is not scientifically proven is because it can’t be tested with a control, since reproducing an experiment where the subject believes they are going to die is a board of ethics violation, but it is well documented

[@PunishedNegativeZer0]

Are we just going to forget the fact that Mr. Incredible punched the Omnidroid 8.0 well over 30 feet with only his right hand? He didn't even seem exerted afterwards, and it was before he did his exercises too.

When I re-watched this movie, I took the message as being not that you have to be born special to be super, but that even people who aren't born with special powers (Syndrome) have the potential to be super, but because he became too obsessed with the approval of others, he lost sight of his true goal and was brought down by his own inferiority complex. If he had used his intelligence for the betterment of people and not focused on Mr. Incredible's discouragement, he could have been just as heroic as the rest of them. It's not about whether or not his intelligence counts as a power, but how he chose to use it. Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.

I would like to point out one thing about your calculation with Mr Incredible and the train: while he may have the strength to push large objects, at the same time the train itself is a fragile object. He is most likely not exerting his max force because if he did, he'd tear through the front (it'd be like that scene in Invincible). He'd have to accommodate for the low (relative to him) tensile strength of the train metal and glass and use selective bouts of his strength to decelerate the train rather than push against it with all his might

[@miteihiro3283]

So here's a second theory about Mr. Incredible stopping the train vs catching that robot. I don't think he was struggling to stop the train. If he wanted to, he probably could have stopped it dead in its tracks. I think he was more so struggling with slowing it down bit by bit to not harm the passengers with the momentum of the train when it DID come to a sudden stop. It's actually harder to limit yourself sometimes than it is to just go all out. You have to focus much harder in the precise amount of strength you're exerting. I've had to work with moving large, heavy object and moving them carefully and precisely. It is definitely much easier to give it all your might, than it is to limit yourself to something more precise. All and all, 100% is easier to muster than say, 40.2%.

[@yarglewithwings9112]

also leverage plays a huge part in it - when stopping the train, Mr. Incredible was limited by the amount of friction the tracks could take before being destroyed. He was also in a terrible position for exerting force.

[@ilovet5926]

oh ok

[@PMSTTR]

Yeah, if he stopped that train in the blink of an eye, everyone in there would instantly die

[@BoobsIndeed]

Not to mention that even though Mr. Incredible can absorb that force, the ties underneath him that he was bracing against could not. So, his feet had to break through several of them before the train stopped.

Meanwhile٫ Dash was pulling a prank٫ so the stakes were not as high

Edna would of been super pissed when she found out you didnt use her new super suits resistance to damage when calculating moms strength.....

[@TortoRacoon]

I bought one of these elastic vests from amazon, If you hammer them they come out intact but you still smash anything bellow the vest if it's not resistant. The suit from Edna was resistant and shared the same elastic properties as the intended wearer, but was not an armor.

[@sowhat6061]

I’ve actually countered this a couple of times. The suit was made to be damage resistance or for lack of a better term “indestructible” meaning it can’t be destroyed and provides the wearer some protection, however, it is never stated that it desperses all of the energy or the force from any attack. This is further backed up by the fact that she passed out from the blast proving that the wearer does bear the effects of an attack. She would still have to have the natural ability to withstand the force of the attack which is why the FORCE is what was calculated. She still withstood the force of the blast even if she was protected from it.

I'm so happy I found this. Incredibles was always my favorite PIXAR movie (It's between it and WALL-E). Also regarding MatPat's idea of "what the movie was about" the director's cut gave a little insight on that; it's a balance between the fantastic and the mundane within family bonds. Hence why the whole climax battle is the family arguing over the remote. :)

[@kaydenlobert317]

Helen's Suit was designed to absorb exposions so I feel that the estimate of the force she absorbed is faltered.

[@wastingmytime7258]

A couple quick notes, if I may: 1) When calculating Mr. Incredible's strength using the train, you didn't account for traction. It doesn't matter how strong he was, his feet were planted on wood and concrete, which broke under the force of the train. You can see the wood flying away as he speeds down the track. It doesn't matter how much force he can personally exert, he could exert ten times your estimate and still run into the same problem. If he can't brace himself, he can't slow the train down enough. Not to mention, he wouldn't WANT to stop it dead in its tracks, since that would kill everyone on board. 2) Your missiles are misdated. You made sure the train and passengers were set in the 1940's, but the missiles you referenced began development in the 1970's. 3) You didn't consider Elastagirl's supersuit. Edna Mode SPECIFICALLY stated it was resistant to missiles. In her demonstration scene, she shot two at the suit, and there was no damage at all. 4) This entire premise is based entirely on one definition of raw strength, and doesn't account for usage. Mr. Incredible may have a physical advantage, but his powers would have a hard time injuring anyone in his family. Elastagirl's stretch would make it easy for her to evade direct contact. Dash is just too fast to hit. Usage wise, Violet could potentially have the deadliest powers. Not only can she stealthily attack just about anyone, but her forcefields are solid and can appear anywhere. We see her use them to disrupt electromagnetic fields, so why can't she use them to slice through matter? However, her age is a disadvantage. She has NO IDEA what the capabilities of her powers are. She is one of the least trained of the family. Unlike her parents, with years of experience, she works on instinct, and doesn't even know that her forcefields could deflect bullets.

With Elastigirl its actually the suit that helps her survive. If you watch it again, you could see that she actually remembered what Edna said about the suit within the moment the missiles were about to hit the jet. Also if you look closely, you could see that she ducked her head inside with her kids to protect it. Between the four I believe that Violet is the strongest, I've been holding on to that argument ever since I was a kid watching Incredibles multiple times. But from all five, Jack-Jack is by far the strongest seeing how he was able to go through Violet's shield in Incredibles 2.

[@benjitraverse3826]

The suit does reflect the explosive shrapnel, however the main calculation here is the FORCE exerted by the middles. The suit is very flexible for her meaning there is little to know impact resistance, so the force of the shockwave would be full exerted on her. She doesn’t get impaled by shrapnel and burned by fire, but she does feel the full shockwave

at the train scene, dad is unable to apply enough force to counteract the train speed due to his shoes simply do not have enough grip/friction. later, the robot scene, he is stationary.... so he can easily use his full strength...

[@fullster1983]

Exactly! The amount of force he can apply to the train is limited by the horizontal force he can apply to the railroad ties and given that his shoes seem to slide over each tie he’s unable to acquire the needed friction to oppose the train force.

[@GaryKertopermono]

That's what I thought as well. You can be really strong, but if you don't have the friction, stopping a train is really hard. It's like, being able to lift 100 kg from a concrete floor but not from an icy floor. Yes, you can't lift it, but that's not because you're not strong enough.

[@rengar7086]

When he was trying to stop the train, don't you have to take into account his footing? Also the fact that if he stopped the train too suddenly, everyone inside would be killed or injured.

Love the video and all the work you put into it.

When he was on his back holding up the robot he could exert all his strength. - Compare your ability to push a car while standing on a flat road to pushing a car with your feet against a wall.
