10 Movies Heroes You Didn't Realise Were Probably Psychopaths

6. Mr. Incredible - The Incredibles

In "The Incredibles," we're introduced to a world where superheroes were commonplace in the 1950s, and the best of them all was Mr. Incredible. The first 10 minutes of the movie are dedicated to showing us firsthand how "incredible" he is through a montage of super-heroic exploits. Unfortunately for him, however, they set off a cascade of lawsuits that end up getting all superheroes banned. We feel bad for Mr. Incredible because he now has to adjust to a mundane life where he can't use his superpowers. 15 years in the future, the poor guy has gained a ton of weight and is clearly depressed. He takes his meal to his room and obsesses over the glory days as his optimistic and clearly happy wife does everything for him. The tone is pretty dark for a kid film, and this could have easily turned into a Lifetime movie about the folly of man. Instead... Why He's A Psychopath: Mr. Incredible's life completely changes when he punches his boss through a bunch of walls. Yes, a man with super strength basically kills a guy (or permanently paralyses him) for doing this: being mean. Yes, it's incredibly easy to dislike the boss who says mean things about a guy getting mugged. He had it coming. But putting the guy in the hospital and forcing the government to chalk up millions of dollars for witness protection (as the government agent points out) makes Mr. Incredible one of the most warped vigilantes of all time, and it revealed that Mr. Incredible was little more than a ticking time bomb.
