Most of the following information comes from one of four main sources, two of which are scenes from the first film. The first is Edna Mode's explanation to Bob of why she refuses to design supersuits with capes, which is accompanied by a montage of a number of late supers' deaths. The second is when Bob hacks into Syndrome's computer files. The third is the "NSA Files" feature in the "Top Secret" section of Disc 2 of
The Incredibles two-disc DVD edition. A minor amount of information, such as information on Fironic, comes from other scenes in the film, as noted. •
Apogee – Her superpowers involved gravity control and
levitation, which were powered by sunlight. She was a former member of The Thrilling Three, along with Gazerbeam and Phylange. Apogee believed that The Thrilling Three was really The Thrilling 1 + 2 in Gazerbeam's mind. The Operation Kronos database assigned her a threat rating of 6.5. She was killed by the Omnidroid v. X4 during the training sessions for Operation Kronos. •
Blazestone – Her superpowers involved the control of fire and the ability to fly using heat and the production of
pyrotechnic discharges which is similar to
The Human Torch from the
Fantastic Four. She was a member of Beta Force and was once partners with Frozone before their partnership soured even when Frozone and Downburst feuded over her romantic affection. The Operation Kronos database assigned her a threat rating of 5.5. She was killed by the Omnidroid v. X2 during the training sessions for Operation Kronos. •
Blitzerman – His superpowers were unknown as the only mention of his powers were the words "High-powered…", seen in a close-up of his profile in Syndrome's Operation Kronos files. However, judging by his name, it can be assumed that he was a
speedster similar to
The Flash and
Quicksilver from DC Comics and Marvel Comics respectively. He was killed by a version of the Omnidroid, as early as version X4 but before X9. "Blitz" literally means “lightning” (also consistent with "high-powered"), so powers like
Electro (Marvel Comics) or
Black Lightning would also make sense. •
Downburst – In the film, his superpowers are given by Syndrome's Operation Kronos files as gaseous downburst, but in the "NSA Files" feature on Disc 2 of the DVD, his powers are indicated to be atomic manipulation, meaning he could disrupt the
atomic force among atoms. A member of Beta Force, he had an unrequited crush on Blazestone, but harbored a dislike of Frozone due to them competing for Blazestone's affection. The Operation Kronos database assigned him a threat rating of 6.5. He was killed by the Omnidroid v. X3 during the training sessions for Operation Kronos. •
Dynaguy – He had the ability to project a disintegration ray from his forehead and could fly courtesy of
ion propulsion gauntlets. He was present as a guest at Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl's wedding. Dynaguy was one of the first supers sued (for public
endangerment) following the Mr. Incredible lawsuits. He was killed when his cape got snagged during a takeoff. Following his death, Gazerbeam replaced him as leader of The Thrilling Three (likely a
parody of the Fantastic Four). •
Everseer – His superpowers included telepathy, clairvoyance, and "magnoscopic vision", with which he could see
microscopically and
telescopically. At one time, he was the leader of the Phantasmics and later fired Gazerbeam over a bitter rivalry between the two. Everseer had a British accent in the audio file in the "NSA Files" feature on Disc 2 of the DVD. The Operation Kronos database assigned him a threat rating of 3.2. Because of his ability to see things like
germs, he suffered from
obsessive-compulsive disorder. He shared a
therapist practice with Psycwave. He was killed by the Omnidroid v. X1 during the training sessions for Operation Kronos. •
Fironic – Near the end of the film, a woman mistook Syndrome—who had just saved her and others from being crushed by a tanker truck which the Omnidroid v.10 had hurled at them—for this superhero. He only appears in a flashback scene in
Incredibles 2, where it is shown that he and Gazerbeam were friends with Winston and Evelyn Deavor's father before his death due to superheroes being outlawed. •
Gamma Jack – His superpower was the ability to create controlled bursts of
radiation. He had a reputation as a ladies' man who arrogantly believed supers to be a "
superior race." The Operation Kronos database assigned him a threat rating of 7.9. Gamma Jack did manage to destroy one prototype Omnidroid during the training sessions for Operation Kronos, but was killed by its successor. The exact versions are unknown, but they were at least as early as version X5, but before X9. •
Simon J. Paladino (a.k.a.
Gazerbeam) – He is a super mentioned and briefly seen in
The Incredibles. His powers allow him to generate energy blasts from his eyes similar to
Cyclops from the
X-Men. His According to his biography on the DVD, Gazerbeam was originally a member of the
superhero team The Phantasmics, but rivalry with team leader Everseer led to Gazerbeam's dismissal. Following the death of Dynaguy, Gazerbeam replaced him as leader of the Thrilling Three, along with previously established members Phylange and Apogee. In-group tensions and arguments eventually led the threesome to permanently disband. When the public began suing superheroes for damages done, Gazerbeam's true identity of Simon J. Paladino was a
pro-bono lawyer who entered politics to become a long-time
advocate for superhero rights. His secret identity as a lawyer is similar to
Daredevil from Marvel Comics. Gazerbeam appears alive only once in the film—as a guest during Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl's wedding—and is mostly seen in photos or mentioned by others. He was featured in a Super
postage stamp collection alongside Frozone, Elastigirl and Mr. Incredible; this is seen among Mr. Incredible's selection of memorabilia. His disappearance (in his civilian identity) was reported in an article in the
Metroville Tribune newspaper, which is how Bob first learned of his disappearance. His address is shown to be Traction Avenue, in the financial district of Metroville (the street where Operation Kronos is put into effect).In the film, Frozone compares Mr. Incredible's difficulties in adjusting to civilian life with those of the recently disappeared Gazerbeam, who experienced similar problems. As events would reveal, Gazerbeam was killed on Nomanisan Island while attempting to disable an Omnidroid – the same machine that took the lives of the other members of the Thrilling Three. The exact version was not revealed, but it was at least as late as version X4, but before X8, the first version later faced by Mr. Incredible. He apparently discovered the reason for his mission—i.e., Operation Kronos—and used his powers to burn the word "KRONOS" into a cavern wall on the island before his death. Mr. Incredible locates Gazerbeam's skeletal remains by chance while attempting to evade Syndrome and his Omnidroid; Mr. Incredible then uses the remains to convince Syndrome that he had been killed by one of Syndrome's mini-bombs. Mr. Incredible proceeds to sneak back into Syndrome's base and access the Operation Kronos computer, using Gazerbeam's final message as the password. •
Hyper Shock – His superpower was the ability to generate
seismic waves with his fists, with which he could create earthquake-like disruptions measuring 6.0 on the
Richter scale which similar to the X-Men character
Avalanche. He also used dual seismic amplification hammers to amplify this effect, though the maximum range of this amplification is unknown. The Operation Kronos database assigned him a threat rating of 7.5. Hyper Shock managed to destroy the Omnidroid v. X3 during the training sessions for Operation Kronos, but was ultimately killed by its successor, the Omnidroid v. X4. •
Macroburst – According to the government file on the DVD, Macroburst is an androgynous superhero, to the point that their gender is actually not known by the government. Their superpower was the ability to project high velocity winds. Macroburst was a sidekick to Everseer, and later a member of the Phantasmics. The Operation Kronos database assigned them a threat rating of 5.9. Macroburst was the first Super to score a victory over an Omnidroid, defeating the Omnidroid v. X1 during the training sessions for Operation Kronos. Unfortunately, they were then killed by the successor to the v. X1, the Omnidroid v. X2. Macroburst is one of five Supers without an audio file; Rick Dicker claims that it was damaged during a mission, and that although it was recovered, NSA Division Delta determined it to be incomplete. •
Meta-Man – His superpowers included flight, enhanced strength, x-ray vision, a sonic scream, teleportation, magnetic manipulation, partial invisibility and the ability to communicate with aquatic animals whose powers are similar to
Superman and
Aquaman respectively. He was one of the guests present at Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl's wedding. One of his arch enemies was Baron von Ruthless (whom Dicker assumes to be responsible for the absence of Meta-Man's audio file—it was presumably confiscated during a surprise attack by von Ruthless; Frozone also mentions von Ruthless). He was killed when his cape got caught in steel framework while lifting an express
elevator back into place. •
Phylange – An opera singer in his civilian life, his superpower was the ability to project sonic fields with his voice, similar to Marvel's
Banshee but suffered from chronic
laryngitis which hindered his superpowers. He was a former member of The Thrilling Three, along with Dynaguy and later Gazerbeam after the former’s death and Apogee. The Operation Kronos database assigned him a threat rating of 4.7. He was killed by the Omnidroid v. X2 during the training sessions for Operation Kronos. •
Plasmabolt – Her superpowers involved shooting waves of plasma. She could also project electromagnetic energy, which was gathered from the antenna mounted on the head of her super suit, and channelled to her hands. Her body also exhibited an electromagnetic aura. She was a member of the Phantasmics. She was not seen in the movie, but in the "NSA Files" file on Disc 2 of the DVD as one of five Supers without an audio file; Dicker says that hers was inadvertently erased by her electromagnetic aura and that a re-recording has been scheduled. •
Psycwave – Her superpowers included mental force wave generation, temporary mental paralysis, and the ability to possess the bodies of others. These powers are similar to those of
Jean Grey from the X-Men. A member of the Phantasmics, she shared a therapist practice with Everseer. The Operation Kronos database assigned her a threat rating of 1.6, the lowest rating of the Supers displayed. She was killed by the Omnidroid v. X1 during the training sessions for Operation Kronos. •
Splashdown – Flight and water-based superpowers. He was capable of underwater high-speed travel and communication with undersea life similar to
Aquaman from
DC Comics. He was sucked into the
vortex of a
waterspout by his cape and went missing and is presumed dead. He is one of five Supers without an audio file. Dicker says that his is irretrievable due to water damage. •
Stormicide – The Operation Kronos file seen in the movie listed her powers as electrical discharges and gale-force bursts, but the NSA Files on the DVD, Disc 2, which was clearer, and corroborated by an audio file of an interview with Stormicide, indicated that her power was the absorbance and expulsion of a variety gases, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc. which is similar to
Storm from the X-Men. The Operation Kronos database assigned her a threat rating of 6.7. She was killed by an Omnidroid during the training sessions for Operation Kronos. The exact version is unknown, but it was at least as early as version X5, but before X9. •
Stratogale – Gifted with the superpowers of flight, superhuman strength and the ability to communicate with birds similar to
Falcon from Marvel comics, Stratogale had just pulled a commercial
jet airliner out of a steep dive on April 23, 1957, after a serious emergency occurred to its #2 jet turbine. When she flew up in front of the left wing while waving at the passengers, her cape was sucked into the damaged engine, pulling her in and killing her instantly. She was one of the guests present at Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl's wedding and is the last of five Supers without an audio file, with Dicker saying that hers has been deemed incomprehensible, suspecting either faulty recording equipment or a high level of ambient wind noise. •
Thunderhead – Gifted with storm-controlling powers, courteous, and "good with kids" and according to his file a proud father of six adopted children, Thunderhead unfortunately had a reputation for low intelligence, according to Mr. Incredible, which is corroborated in his NSA file. This would prove his undoing on November 15, 1958, when his cape caught on the fin of an outbound
missile, tearing Thunderhead right out of his boots and gauntlets after he saved a woman and defeated the criminal responsible. He was one of the guests present at Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl's wedding. His name may have likely be a play on the word dunderhead which is a term for someone who is dim witted. • '''''' – His superpower involved control of the elements is similar to
Storm from the X-Men. He was killed by a version of the Omnidroid, as early as version X4 but before X9, during the training sessions for Operation Kronos. •
Universal Man – His superpower involved the ability to manipulate the atomic density of materials, and can alter the density of his own body to be as low as that of gas, to that of a
black hole. The Operation Kronos database assigned him a threat rating of 2.9. Universal Man had the unfortunate distinction of being the first "Super" killed by an Omnidroid, the Omnidroid v. X1, during the training sessions for Operation Kronos. In the "NSA Files" feature on Disc 2 of the DVD, an audio file of an interview with him reveals him to have had a thick stereotypical Austrian accent, and was apparently conducted in a weightlifting gym, given the background sounds, indicating that Universal Man was a parody of
Arnold Schwarzenegger, who won the
Mr. Universe multiple times. •
Vectress – Her superpower was the ability to generate sub-sonic bursts. She was killed by the Omnidroid v. X4 during the training sessions for Operation Kronos.
