Mirage is a character in The Incredibles. She started out as a supporting antagonist, but in the end was reformed.

The Incredibles

Mirage is the right-hand woman of Syndrome, having assisted him in killing off superheroes to further his plans. Mirage has been conducting surveillance on Frozone for some time with the intent of making him the next superhero to be killed in Operation Kronos.

During Frozone's covert superhero work, he is spied upon by Mirage, who sees he is friends with Mr. Incredible. Thus, she recommends that Syndrome reshuffle his priorities and instead lure Mr. Incredible into Operation Kronos.

However, she defects when Syndrome allows the bluffing Mr. Incredible to unleash his wrath on her after he nearly kills his family and partially after learning that there were children were on board the same plane. She helps free him, but his first reaction is to attack her until she reveals that his family is alive. Relieved, Mr. Incredible hugs her, but Elastigirl arrives and completely misunderstands the situation, and attacks Mirage before her husband reveals that she helped him. Mirage then informs them that their children had tripped the security alarms and were being pursued

Unfortunately, Syndrome captures the Incredibles, though he was unaware of Mirage's betrayal. Syndrome then leaves to "save" Metroville from his Omnidroid 10. As all the guards watched the Omnidroid's rampage on the news, Mirage noticed that the Incredibles had escaped again. She then goes the hanger control room, where the Incredibles planned on taking a rocket to reach Metroville but as Syndrome would've changed the password to stop them from programming the destination, Mirage speaks over the intercom to say "please" to the computer.

Personality

Mirage is clearly a calm, decisive intellectual who thrives upon power, but seems to put her desire for power in check, unlike Syndrome, who did not know his limits.

Mirage is an attractive woman with light blonde hair.

At first, Mirage respected Syndrome as a boss and as a person, but she didn't like the way in which he was callous about wasting life. Even though it is apparent she shares Syndrome's hatred of superheroes, she was clearly ill at ease with Syndrome opening fire on Elastigirl's plane when she learned children were aboard.

Trivia

Mirage wearing her black dress.

• Mirage's voice strongly suggests a Central American or European accent.
• Despite her voice actress, Elizabeth Peña, having a Spanish last name, and the ability to speak Spanish, she doesn't dub her own voices for Spanish-language releases.

• Mirage's skill in locating superheroes seems to show that she has extensive computing skills and is adept at human intelligence (HUMINT).

• One of her other infamous outfits is a long black dress, which she wore when she had dinner with Mr. Incredible.
• The phone number on Mirage's business card reads (866) 787-7467. On a typical telephone keypad, this translates into "SUPRHRO."
• Mirage being held up by her neck, choked, and interrogated by Mr. Incredible and using both her hands in an attempt to wrench herself from his grip (after she frees him) mimics a scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope where Darth Vader holds up a rebel soldier by his neck and chokes him while interrogating him.
