The bodysuit also has the insignia of The Incredibles, which sits in the centre of the costume.

The Belt
The inclusion of the belt for this costume may differ from seller to seller. Some costumes have been made so that the belt is separate, while others have used fabric and have simply incorporated it into the jumpsuit so that it is already part of the costume.

The Eye Mask
Every superhero needs a way to be able to hide their identity and the Incredibles use a black eye mask. This is a simple design that is easy to put on. You will find that it is attached to an elastic band that needs to be pulled over the head or it has a tie on each end that you can do up at the back.

Mr Incredibles Extra Feature
