Feminist Film theory could be seen in the film by matching the characters to their abilities. Starting with Helen, she is a mother of three children and is family oriented. She is strong, dominant and independent as she is able to fight criminals and control the family. She is also a strategist which practices pro-choices. When we think of mothers, we tend to think they could split into a million pieces because they have so much to do. Therefore, her ability was matched with Elastic girl, the ability to stretch making her extremely flexible. Her strong personality could be seen in the scene where Bob sneaks of to save citizens from a burning building and when he returned, Helen was waiting for him and she knows what he had done by picking up a little rubble from his clothes. She could be seen arguing with Bob for his safety and the safety of the family. This shows she is a strong women that isn't afraid of anything to protect her family.
Moving on, Helen's daughter, Voilet is a shy and obedient girl. She also lacks in self confidence therefore she has the ability of stealth or invisibility. She is also able to cast a force field shield as if it is her wall around her. It matches her personality as she is shy and introverted, therefore she is always hiding from people and from her crush. She could be seen becoming brave and having more self confidence to face challenges in her life at the end. This aims at to educate young girls to take charge of their lives by being confident. Her changes could be seen at the start of the movie where she is hiding from her crush and in the end of the movie where she bravely asks him out for movies.
Other types of women could be seen in the film. For example, Kari, a talkative and nerdy girl who talks louder than action. She could be seen bragging all her expertise and promises her that she will take care of Halen's baby, Jack Jack, She could be seen calling Halen for help in the end as she could not handle her baby.
Edna Mode, she is confident, talented and an elitist. She could be seen proudly saying she design for the gods.
Mirage, a typical femme fatale which is sexy but deadly. She uses her sexuality to bait the supers to their death. This could be seen in the scene where she sends her message to Mr incredible with her seductive voice.
Frozen's Wife is the dominating wife in the film. This could be seen in the scene where frozon is looking for his super suit as his wife angrily scolds him and tells him that she is his only greater good.
