'You sly dog! You got me monologuing.'
The Big Picture Pixar’s The Incredibles is genuinely one of the best superhero movies out there in this modern age of film supers that seem to multiply by the hour. Even nearly twenty years after its release, the film holds up as a neatly written, family-oriented superhero story with plenty of fun moments and dark themes. The characterizations of the protagonists and antagonists are top-notch, and its self-awareness of superhero tropes never veers into the realm of the obnoxiously meta.
That night, a villain from their past pays them a visit. This is the original version of Syndrome, who was supposed to remain a much smaller character, not unlike Bomb Voyage was in the final cut of the film. The Smiths fight Syndrome and manage to escape before the house goes up in flames , and that was pretty much the extent of Syndrome’s original role: to reveal that the Smiths used to be superheroes.
Unfortunately, not much is known about Xerek or his true motives – the mystery is part of his draw. While he never made it into the final cut of the movie, he did make an appearance in the tie-in Incredibles comic books by BOOM! Studios, which were unfortunately canceled before the run’s end. Depicted as an older man in a nice suit, Xerek is a stark contrast to the colorful superheroes.
Xerek would have been better placed in The Incredibles 2 due to the increased focus on Helen for the sequel. Sadly, Xerek didn’t get to make an appearance in that movie either; that honor goes to Screenslaver. It seems like Xerek will never get to have his moment in the sun when it comes to feature films.Syndrome Was a Better Choice for 'The Incredibles' Villain In addition to being a better character foil for Bob, Syndrome has much more pizzazz than Xerek.
