Mr. Incredible and Jesus

[Cure of Ars]

It could be my imagination but Mr. Incredible reminds me a lot of Jesus. For example, Mr. Incredible is captured with his arms held out wide and his legs together in the form of a cross (see the picture above). Mr. Incredible believes that his family has died and they are his life and because of this, in a way, he dies. Mr. Syndrome dares him to repay evil for evil but Mr. Incredible chooses not to do this. Later, Mr. Incredible finds out that his family is not dead and through this situation the family gains new life and they concur evil. Now it is not totally the same but there are many similarities…coincidence? I think not.

I don't see it. I have to say that's stretching quite a bit.

I would see this symbolism if his arms were straight out in more of a T shape. Also, a fake death would have served better as a esurrection symbolism. Something like Mr. Incredible gets fried heavily by the device and Sinister assumes he died from it.

Eh, doubt it was meant as an analogy, although we might be able to interpret it that way. I personally don't think they meant anything by it.
