10 More Unnecessary Movie Details You Need To Know
5. He-Lectrix Is A Re-Used Model Of The Original Villain - The Incredibles II
The superhero universe carved out by Pixar has played host to its fair share of memorable villains in both of Brad Bird's outstanding The Incredibles entries. Between wannabe sidekicks morphing into an eventual maniacal arch-nemesis to seemingly loyal tech geniuses who almost single-handedly wipe supers from the planet, it's hard to spot a single miss in the studio's evil rankings.
Yet, if you look hard enough, you may actually be able to spot one failed idea hiding in plain sight in the second outing for the Parr's and their pals.
He-Lectrix, a hero who is caught in the thick of Evelyn Deavor's hypnotising scheme and is capable of manipulating/generating electricity, was actually created using an animated model which would've originally belonged to Winston Deavor's brother, "Nelson Deavor".
This character would've been responsible for creating the "Screenslaver" persona seen in the film, instead of the personality that would later become Evelyn. However, after coming to the conclusion that a female villain would be more interesting, Pixar opted to switch the models that had been used for the then-"She-Lectrix" and Nelson, giving us the Evelyn and He-Lectrix we wound up with in the finished product instead.
