1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995)?
a.		There are strong similarities to another family of super-heroes: Marvel Comics The Fantastic Four. Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr) has super-strength like the Thing (Ben Grimm); Elastigirl (Helen Parr) is able to stretch her body like Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards); Violet is able to turn invisible and project force-fields like the Invisible Woman (Susan Storm Richards); and baby Jack-Jack briefly shows an ability to turn himself into living flame like the Human Torch. Jack-Jack bears an even stronger resemblance to Reed and Susan Richards son Franklin, a mutant with the power to alter reality. Like Bob and Helen Parr, Reed and Susan Richards are husband and wife, and have children with powers. Like Violet and impulsive Dash Parr, Susan and the impulsive Johnny Storm are elder sister and younger brother. The costumes of the Incredibles are red unitards with black collars, trunks, gloves and boots with an "i" emblem in the chest area. The costumes of the Fantastic Four are blue unitards with black collars, belts, gloves, and boots with a "4" emblem in the chest area. Both sets of costumes are made to adapt to the wearers specific powers and abilities. The super-villain that appears at the end of the movie calling himself the Underminer is a dead ringer for The Mole Man, a longtime foe of the FF, and the image of the first FF cover is briefly mimicked.
