Hey guys!
Welcome back to Top 10 Nerd, I’m Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
This video is brought to you by LEGO: The Incredibles.
This new game by Warner Brothers takes players on an extraordinary fun-filled adventure,
where they’ll control their favorite Incredibles characters and team up as a family to conquer
crime and family life.

Modify your character’s appearance and abilities using the Edna “E” Mode.
And of course, complete action-packed side missions and defeat iconic Super Villains
to rid the city of crime in an exciting open world experience.
Buy it now on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
And in celebration of this new game, today we’ll be talking about the various Superheroes
found in it!
Since you guys know all about the kids by now, I’ll focus on some of the adult superheroes,
so we can all learn something new.
Now get ready, it’s time for the Top 10 Superheroes in LEGO The Incredibles!
Number 10: Apogee.
Apogee is the quick-witted, solar-powered superhero seen in The Incredibles.
She has the power of gravity control and levitation, which increased in power as the sun reached
its apogee.
Hence the name.
But sadly, she lost her power when the sun went down, or on cloudy days.
In the movie, we didn't see much of her, we just know she was killed by one of Syndrome's
Omnidroid prototypes.
But there’s a lot more to her than that.
Apogee was a member of the Thrilling Three, a fact that embarrasses her to no end in later
years.
While it started out okay, eventually the leader, Gazerbeam, started getting way too
full of himself.
More on him later.
Apogee often bemoans the limitations on her abilities, since she's so dependent on the
sun.
She thinks it's frustrating to be out and about but unable to actually do anything.
Unless, as she says, evil breaks out at a tanning salon.
Which makes me think she should totally work a tanning bed into her suit but hey that's
just me.
Number 9: Gamma Jack.
Gamma Jack, AKA Handsome Jack, had the ability to create controlled bursts of radiation.
He could focus this as much as he wanted, so he could just shoot out a wave that burns
people, or could even just straight up disintegrate a nerd.
Unfortunately, as you might assume from his looks, he was a bit of a jerk.
He was a big ladies man and generally tried to save attractive women whenever possible,
ignoring more pressing matters in the name of getting it on.
He also had kind of tyrannical tendencies, believing that Supers were some sort of Master
Race, and not really caring about collateral damage.
Which gives massive Magneto vibes, and led the National Supers Agency to fear that he
would eventually turn villain.
Despite all that, however, he was still a super powerful hero, with Operation Kronos
giving him a threat rating of 7.9, the third most dangerous of all the heroes.
Number 8: Blazestone.
Blazestone is the pyrotechnic superheroine, member of Beta Force, and ex-girlfriend of
Frozone.
Her fire powers give her a bunch of abilities, allowing her to control and shoot fire, and
even use heat to fly through the air.
Sadly, her fire and ice relationship with Frozone didn't go so well, partly because
of conflicting powers and personalities, but also because she wasn’t exactly a catch.
Since her powers take care of pretty much every aspect of her heroics, from battle to
transportation, she’s kinda judgy of other supers who rely on equipment.
Which is a bit annoying.
But that wasn’t her only problem.
She also apparently has trouble remembering what dimension she’s in, causing her to
talk super quickly sometimes, only to realize and act all smug about it.
Plus, when she got angry, she had a tendency to, ya know, set things on fire.
Pretty often.
Which Frozone would then have to go put out.
And she’s a reformed criminal.
Which isn’t ideal.
That said, nothing’s as annoying as her stupid fast talking, I don’t blame Frozone
for getting out of that one!
Number 7: The Phylange.
The Phylange was a hero from the Golden Age, with the ability to project blasts of sonic
voice fields.
He discovered this when he was selling peanuts at a ballpark, and went on to become a superhero.
Unfortunately, he was kind of a selfish jerk, which caused both fellow heroes and the public
to dislike him.
He was part of the Thrilling Three for a time, alongside Gazerbeam and Apogee, but he eventually
left the group.
He claims it was just a democratic decision, but everybody knows he just didn't get enough
glory thanks to Gazerbeam’s self-centeredness.
Sadly, it seems that all his years of screaming have really caught up with him because his
audio file in the DVD for The Incredibles is sounding pretty rough.
Also, back in his heroic days, he worked on a signature yodel.
For a year.
For which Bob made fun of him endlessly, because according to him, Kids cannot look up to a
yodeller.
But clearly, Bob has never heard of a little someone called the yodeling kid.
Number 6: Dynaguy.
Dynaguy was super with the ability to shoot disintegration rays from his forehead, which
could disrupt atomic forces among atoms.
This caused him some problems because he couldn't figure out a way to work Disintegration Ray
into his name, but one day, this GUY, was sitting in a DINER.
And after Fork Man and Spoon Dude didn't work, he thought of it: Diner Guy!
(blank grin) And when he realized that was stupid, he decided he wanted his name to be
Dynamic, and he settled on Dynaguy!
Anyway, Dynaguy was quite a powerful hero, shooting his disintegration rays and using
Ion Propulsion rockets on his arms to fly around.
He was actually one of the original members of the Thrilling Three, but as you can see,
he wore a cape.
And as we know, heroes who worse capes had a bad time.
After his cape snagged the ground on takeoff, he was replaced on the team by Gazerbeam.
And I've mentioned Gazerbeam so many times now, I think it's time to finally talk about
him.
Number 5: Gazerbeam.
Gazerbeam had the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes and wore a visor to help control
them.
Unfortunately, he found when he stared at someone for a while, he sometimes shot lasers
at them.
This caused him to avoid eye contact and not really pay attention to others, leading people
to dislike him, and leading him to be a bit self-centered.
So when he became the leader of the Thrilling Three, his teammates ended up thinking he
was an egotistical jerk.
And you can't really blame them for thinking that.
You just need to look at their team vehicle to know why they felt the way they did.
Because it was a motorcycle, with TWO sidecars.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
All his selfishness makes me want to hate him, but the thing is, he was actually a pretty
good guy.
His secret identity was a lawyer, who worked pro bono in the inner city, and worked for
years to lift the ban on supers.
And in the Incredibles, he actually managed to kill the Omnidroid when he was first recruited,
taking out the X4, but then the 5th iteration was made, and he was defeated.
Thankfully, he was able to leave a note for Mr. Incredible, etching KRONOS into the wall
of a cave, which was the password to Syndrome's database.
Without him, Syndrome may well have won.
So at the end of the day, despite his interpersonal issues, I think he was a pretty good guy.
Number 4: Meta Man.
Meta Man was kind of the Superman of the Incredibles world since he had a bunch of different powers.
Kind of too many powers.
Flight, Super Strength, X-Ray Vision, Magnetic manipulation, teleportation, partial invisibility;
he could even communicate with aquatic mammals.
He was a good friend of Mr. Incredible, largely because they shared the same villain, Baron
Von Ruthless.
His ridiculous amount of power caused him to be seen as the most powerful super of all
time, and apparently, he had some sort of leadership role over all the supers.
Unfortunately, despite his incredible amount of power, he was one of the supers who died
from a wardrobe malfunction.
And no, I don’t mean the fun Janet Jackson kind.
I mean the not-fun, getting killed because of your cape kind, in his case snagging it
on the elevator.
Making fun of a superhero trope?
That’s Meta, Man…
Get it?
Do…
do you get it?
Number 3: Mr. Incredible.
Of course, we need to include Bob Parr, aka Mr. Incredible.
AKA Mr. Inedible according to the folks at the NSA.
We all know Bob as the super strong patriarch of the Parr clan, who settled down into family
life soon after superheroes were outlawed.
But his life before his family was pretty interesting too.
Because he was a superhero.
His files say that he has the maximum strength, endurance, and durability any hero can have,
and that’s pretty damn impressive.
Also, I had never realized this before, but according to his files, he has a Danger Sense,
that lets him sense imminent danger, kinda like Spider-Man.
These powers, as well as a strong will, allowed him to become one of the most successful heroes
in the golden age, even getting his own super-campy TV show with Frozone as his sidekick.
He’s generally believed to be the second most powerful super of all time, after Meta
Man.
But his greatest achievement came at the NSA picnic when he won an eating contest against
Thunderhead by eating 47 boysenberry pies, 8 banana creams, 3 apple-crumbs, and a liter
of mayonnaise.
Mmm, tastes like diabetes.
Number 2: Elastigirl.
Of course, we must touch on Elastigirl.
She was one of the stars of The Incredibles, and arguably THE star of Incredibles 2, and
she has a pretty interesting history in heroics.
As I’m sure you know, Helen Parr had the power of superelasticity.
She can stretch herself to a pretty incredible extent, both to reach far things or even change
her shape, but it isn’t limitless.
She’s able to stretch until her body is 1 millimeter thick, but she can’t go any
further than that.
Because THAT would be ridiculous.
Helen worked really hard at her heroics, a staunch feminist trying to not only make it
in a man’s world but excel.
And she definitely did that; she was so successful that she was asked to lead a new super team,
heroes incorporated, but she refused.
But all that feminism didn’t stop her from being hella objectified, apparently being
pursued romantically by a bunch of the best supers around.
I wonder why.
https://bit.ly/2MUf2Fc But eventually, she met Bob, fell in love, and decided that there
were some things in life that were more important than heroics.
Like looooooove.
Awwwwww.
Number 1: Frozone.
I bet you guys thought I’d forgotten Frozone, didn’t ya?
Well, I didn’t!
He’s the man.
Frozone, AKA Lucius Best, AKA Samuel L. Mothaflippin Jackson, has the ability to generate and manipulate
Ice.
He can shoot it, he’s immune to it, and he can even ride along on top of it.
Look, let’s be real, he’s a black Iceman.
Not gonna dance around it anymore.
His powers first appeared when he was an infant when he turned his Kool-Aid into a popsicle.
In the golden age, he used his powers to fight crime, or else to act as a human Zamboni in
his spare time.
Even though they never had an official team, Frozone became really tight with Mr. Incredible,
with Lucius acting as Bob’s best man at his wedding.
He tried to use his powers to help him win the Winter Olympics, but he was rejected by
the Olympic Committee.
Because that's cheating.
LOOKIN AT YOU, DASH!
As I said, he dated Blazestone for a time, but after the supers started getting sued,
he settled down with his wife Honey Best.
And she keeps him in line.
Because despite all his ramblings about heroics, and danger, and the greater good, at the end
of the day, she is the greatest good he will ever get.
That’s it for today!
