Mystery Men is in a league of its own. Unless of course I'm missing some other movies which attempted the same thing. What I loved about Mystery Men was the notion of commercializing superheros as if they were race car drivers. Seriously, sponsorship by Coca Cola; that's exactly where things would go if there were real-life superheros!! For this reason, Mystery Men was genius! btw: I don't think that the makers of the Incredibles were trying to mock superheros. Wasn't that a serious attempt at children's superhero movie?
