Fiction

Fiction. A boy who is not allowed to win at school because he would be obviously superhuman. The film shows him run on water. It does not state a speed.

  1. In the story

    The Incredibles is careful about Dash. His parents hide the power, a track meet would expose it, and the island chase is the film letting him go. He runs across water and through a jungle faster than the adults shooting at him. Nobody in the story brings a radar gun.

  2. What is not a measurement

    No stated speed. Water-running is shown, not measured. This page does not turn the story into miles per hour.

  3. Pixar, The Incredibles

    Running on water is a way of saying “faster than a person,” not a physics problem we are going to solve from a movie frame. He is the fastest kid in his movie. He is not written as a rival to the Flash, and this page will not pretend a deleted storyboard had a number.

The editorial order also includes Makkari and A-Train. The order is about the scale each story claims. It is not a clock.
