WHATEVER TOPIC THE THEORY IS ON WAS NOT CREATED BY ME. ONLY THE THEORY WAS, HOWEVER I HAVE RIGHTS TO THIS VIDEO. I DID NOT CREATE THE MUSIC EITHER. PICTURES ARE MOSTLY FROM GOOGLE.

For all of the, I presume, newcomers, who are claiming “Syndrome doesn’t have powers” or “this theory can be easily debunked with such and such”, a lot of you seem to be commenting these things because you don’t have the information and things I’ve said in the first two parts to this grand theory. As I said in this video, you will far better understand THIS if you watch the rest of this actually rather short series. For those who haven’t seen the other parts, most of what you think is confusing or wrong, is because you HAVEN’T seen the set up for all of this. They are vital to watch, and will explain what I mean in the video.

Regarding Mirage’s body proportions, I think that’s just the style. Brad Bird’s style of animation is really cartoony and fun. It doesn’t really mean anything. Violet’s also super thin, so is her boyfriend, several people have overly large heads (like Bernie the Teacher), etc. In cartoons whenever a female character has to be secretive and good looking, they usually exaggerate the body proportions.

I always thought that Mirage’s name was a metaphor for how Mr Incredible thought she was going to help him, but ended up disappointing, like a mirage.

I find it interesting that Mirage rebelled once Syndrome revealed he didn’t care about children or her life

[quaintgentleman]

Okay, crazy theory here, the password for the computer is kronos. Kronos was a titan who gave birth to Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades. He ate his children out of fear they would overthrow him. Strangely coincidental that a password like that is related to a potentially government funded project designed to eliminate supers.
Why would the government do this you ask, well like Kronos the government fears their creations, the supers, overthrowing the normal human race out of spite from being driven into hiding. Also the cost of keeping the supers secret must all be a serious strain on the government, seeing as it has an entire bureau/agency dedicated to it, plus cleaning up a super disaster is also probably quite pricey, such as a mr incredible rampage.
So to get rid of a potential threat, and a financial strain they hire Buddy, a super genius with a vendetta, to slowly get rid of the supers. Buddy ends up going rogue, attacks a large city, and reveals that supers are still in existence.
This was something to huge to just quietly sweep under the rug, too many people to brain wipe, plus the supers, who fortunately didn't suspect government involvement, would become suspicious if they tried to disappear them again.
So the government salvages what they can, welcoming the supers back as heroes, and distracting them while they wipe all traces of government involvement in Project Kronos.
(Like so theorizer can see!)

The fact she can even survive being choked by an angry Bob in general is pretty inhuman if you think about it. And how syndrome reacts when bob threatens to snap her neck, it's not that he wouldn't care if she died, it's that he knows she isn't finite.

[VoraciousRdr]

I thought that Mirage was a former super herself given the comment of nether her or Mr. Incredible existing it would still fit in the theory and her creating the henchmen for Syndrome

"He had intelligence, but he lacked something just as important: wisdom."

I think she’s a super herself. Her white hair has always fascinated me. It doesn’t move like the other characters’ hair. I think her name means something too.

[vanderengland]

This is something that you kind of brought up in the first video, but I thought I could address it now. You said, “violet is probably adopted, and maybe her real parents were killed by syndrome.” Do you think that violet could possibly be syndrome’s little sister? Think about it: if syndrome’s parents were Psycwave and Universal Man, those powers are near perfect parents for violet’s powers. She can make shields with her MIND, and can turn invisible, almost as if she’s changing her own molecules. What do you guys think?

[samli]

One of Syndrome's sore spots is that supers look down on him for not having apparent "special abilities." At the very least, he doesn't understand his super intelligence as a super power. Having the psychic powers in addition to his intelligence blows up his villainous backstory. While giving him psychic powers from his mother is convenient, it doesn't really make sense and isn't supported by the story. Furthermore, his zero-point energy manipulation power isn't a genetic superpower he inherited from his father. It clearly comes from the gloves, and he even states that he saves his best inventions for himself. Actually, I think Universal Man and Psycwave fit as Syndrome's parents. But I think the only power they passed on was super-intelligence. In fact, not understanding that power, thinking himself to be powerless, and feeling like an oddball out may further have fueled Buddy's insecurity and desire to prove himself. It's not that Syndrome doesn't have powers; he doesn't have the traditional super powers, including any psychic abilities, leading people, and even himself, to overlook the super power he did have.

What if mirage was the first ai he made think about it lonely teen boy first thing he would make is a pretty girl

[xlokoh]

What are the odds that the villain from Incredibles 2 (Spoiler Alert)







was a hypnotist and hypnotized all the superheroes.

[casca_lover]

I think Mirage is a super, by saying “according to the government we don’t exist” and Mirage is a nickname perhaps. But if she was a super, she doesnt show any super power so that might be out of the question. But she could have been a rebel and continued being a super and whatnot and could have been brainwashed by the government into thinking she doesnt have powers so she could have been stopped. And or the government could have wiped her powers so she could just be a normal person. But idk. Or even Buddy could have wiped her powers so he didnt have to kill her because it looks like they have some sort of relationship.

[parkranger]

I can't wait till you do incredibles 2 theories.

[calypso]

incredibles 2 came out today... coincidence I think not

[skywalkerempire]

This can also be amplified due to the fact that Syndrome freaked out when a "government plane" was headed to the island. As if that he'd thought he'd kept the government away but someone called the government and they sent a plane to the island.

[rndmpinkiepie]

I love how your opening and the way you explain everything is spot on to how conspiracy theories are anywhere else. It's like your theories are the same about cartoons and movies as someone would be about the JFK assassination or 9/11. Great job

[elijahh.]

I always thought Syndrome left the password to manipulate the heroes who escaped into coming back to the base

[Tyhar]

After recently rewatching the Incredibles, I have to say, I'm not really convinced on this one. Just watching and listening to Buddy and Mirage's dialogue makes me think more that Buddy was this ambitious, young genius that Mirage fell in love with. And after spending so many years with Buddy she started to see cracks in his personality, his obsession with revenge. She was probably getting sick of his schemes but all the time they spent together made it difficult for her to walk away. Buddy having psychic powers? Nah, I don't see it. His parents may in fact have been supers and that certainly would explain his super intelligence, but why would Buddy have the exact power as his mother? Or matter manipulation like his father (which it seemed to me only worked when his tech was working properly). Conclusion: I think Buddy had super intellect from his parents. I agree that he did take over an NSA base and used their computer to go forward with his revenge plans. I don't think his henchmen are robots or AI or brainwashed. It's not impossible to imagine they just don't care about killing people. There are whole squads of ex-military groups who believe in all kind of crazy stuff like white supremacy and general hate. But hey, that's just my thoughts from watching these videos and rewatching The Incredibles. I could be wrong.
