The Incredibles
One of the universes that fans have been asking to join Kingdom Hearts III is the Marvel Universe. It and Star Wars are the Disney properties everyone wants Square Enix to include in the game. Now that the House of Ideas is owned by Disney, the idea of Sora and Mickey Mouse fighting alongside heavy hitters like Spider-Man and Iron Man is something that’s grown in everyone’s mind. Square Enix hasn’t entirely said it’s impossible, thankfully avoiding crushing the dreams of thousands of fans. But maybe we should save those two for the next game… y’know, in the next twenty years. For the third instalment, before we get Marvel, it would be even better if we got the Incredibles into the game.
The Incredibles is one of those things that you wonder why there hasn’t been more of since it first released in 2004. Its simple story of a family of superheroes rang with audiences all over the world and led to it winning two Academy Awards and intense demand for a sequel, even to this day. Seriously, you can’t talk about Pixar or Disney without someone eventually wondering why they haven’t done an Incredibles 2. Director Brad Bird has already said that it’s in development now that he’s done with Tomorrowland, so it’ll likely be a while before we see Disney’s first superfamily on the big screen. Assuming Kingdom Hearts III isn’t coming out next year (editor’s note: nope, definitely not), and there’s no real evidence to suggest the contrary, the game could include these heroes.
One of the big issues about superheroes and them crossing over into different universes (and that happens way more often than you’d think) is how that fits in with whatever the heroes are currently going through. The general rule of those is “don’t ask, don’t tell,” and that mentality would stick here with the Incredibles. Sora and crew showing up in their world could easily be waved off with an “ah, it’s just whenever, don’t worry about it”.
Sora’s specialty would also change which weapons or items he gains while in the Incredibles’ world. If he’s good with strength, maybe he’ll get gauntlets like Mr. Incredible’s fists, or an Elasti-Girl style whip that he can use in special attacks or bring enemies closer to him. Defense would let him use Dash’s super speed to dodge and counter enemies, while Violet’s invisible shields would be a perfect last minute save. Jack-Jack’s abilities would have to be magic, since he’s got about four or five different abilities. And of course, you gotta have Frozone in the game. Hopefully he’s got his supersuit this time.
