Yippee-ki-yay, movie lovers, it's Jan here and in this video, I'm revealing ten characters
Pixar cut from Incredibles 2 who you might wish had been included in the movie.

Spoilers ahead, so take care if you've not seen the film, or add this video to your Watch
Later playlist.
Although we never saw her and only briefly heard her voice, Frozone's wife Honey was
a huge hit with fans in the first movie, so much so that that Pixar used her only moment
in the sequel to promote the film in the trailer.
"Where you going asap?"
"You better be back asap!"
Sadly, that's about as much as fans got of Honey in Incredibles 2 but we could have had
more as she very nearly made it on screen.
The filmmakers said they not only created a design for Honey, but they also initially
included her in the movie's opening sequence.
Unfortunately, the scene was scrapped as writer-director Brad Bird felt it didn't fit and the movie
was already too packed, so once again we only get to hear Honey's voice in the sequel, which
Bird believes is funnier.
It's a real shame that Honey didn't get to make her on-screen debut as I know many Pixar
fans were hoping she'd make an appearance.
The storyboard of Honey's deleted cameo will be on the Blu-ray.
And her design was re-used in the movie for one of the many supers assembled on the yacht
at the end.
Look for the character with pink hair, bluish-coloured suit and long gloves plus goggles.
When Edna Mode discovers that Elastigirl's new super-suit was created by a designer called
Alexander Galbaki, she's absolutely furious!
"Elastigirl's super suit is by Galbaki!"
"Explain yourself!"
Now, Galbaki only gets a name-check in the final film, but originally, Edna's rival super-suit
designer was actually going to appear on screen in a suit-fitting scene with Elastigirl.
Galbaki's character was meant to deliberately contrast with Edna as his designs were all
about showing off and drawing attention to him as a designer rather than focusing on
the needs of the supers he's designing for.
And as if that wasn't enough to get Edna's blood boiling, his designs even broke her
golden rule.
"No capes!"
Giving Elastigirl a cape that she clearly didn't like or need.
Some early designs of Helen riding the Elasticycle show her wearing a cape at the same time.
Wearing capes while close to incredibly fast spinning objects is clearly something that's
very dangerous, as we saw in the first movie!
A character that many fans would like to have seen return for the sequel was Kari the babysitter.
Kari's role from the first movie was expanded when she featured in the short film Jack-Jack
Attack which showed her discovering baby Parr's superpowers and then having her memory wiped
by Rick Dicker.
And the filmmakers appear to have had a brief cameo in mind for her in the sequel as concept
art of Kari and her parents appears in the Art of Incredibles 2 hardback book.
In an earlier version of the movie, Winston Deavor didn't have a sister, instead he had
a brother called Nelson who was the original villain.
As the story progressed though, Brad Bird decided the villain would actually work better
as a female character.
So, the decision was made to scrap Winston's brother and instead introduce a sister called
Evelyn.
And as a bonus, the team found they were able to make the relationship between Evelyn and
Helen stronger and more interesting than they were with Nelson and Elastigirl.
Nelson's design wasn't totally lost though and he was re-used as the wannabe super He-Lectrix.
And before He-Lectrix, there was originally a female version of this lightning-powered
super called She-lectric.
She-lectric's design ended up being used for Evelyn who, as I mentioned, was made the main
villain for the movie.
While we do get lots of new super-powered characters in the movie, even more supers
were designed for the film but didn't make the final cut.
For example, Brad Bird mentioned a character called "Overthink" who was originally going
to be a bigger part of the film but ended up only appearing very briefly with the international
supers at the end of the movie and who was never named.
According to Bird, "his power was incredible mental energy, but he takes time to consider
every single thing, and usually misses his opportunity to correct whatever the problem
was because there's always one more angle to explore"!
The whole idea of an overthinking superpower seems a bit strange as it sounds less of a
superpower and more of a chronic weakness.
I can see the humorous potential but it sounds like the character might have been a bit too
complicated to get across on screen.
Another secondary superhero that appears in the outtakes section of the Art of Incredibles
2 book is Cosmosis.
Judging from his name and the many celestial designs considered for his super-suit, I'd
say he was probably going to have various powers of cosmic manipulation.
Cosmic powers can endow users with powerful abilities such as manipulating matter across
space and time, and creating force fields or portals between locations and dimensions.
Cosmosis could have been on a par with extremely powerful superheroes like Captain Marvel and
Jean Grey's Phoenix Force.
If Cosmosis was only meant to be a secondary superhero or a wannabe super like Voyd and
her crew, then I think he was probably cut from the movie because he might have been
too formidable an opponent for the Incredibles family and even the extremely over-powered
Jack-Jack.
The filmmakers had yet more ideas for supers they hoped to introduce in the sequel.
There was Berserkeley, who reminds me a bit of Batman villain Poison Ivy with the green
mask and leaf-like cape behind her.
And her name suggests she might have some wild or out-of-control powers.
Shock-N-Awe are a pair of supers and their name and hairstyles suggest they have some
kind of electrical or lightning powers.
The purplish colours in their hair and glasses made me think of the Wonder Twins from Super
Friends, however, they don't share similar powers with that DC duo.
The deleted trio Megaman & Co seem to be the least developed of the supers design-wise
and look like they're wearing home-made costumes, so it's possible they were going to be used
more for comic effect than any real threat to the Incredibles.
Now, do you wish any of these characters had appeared in the movie?
