Fortnite's Mrs. Incredible Skin: Why It's a Fan Favorite
In late September 2024, Fortnite added a new set of skins featuring characters from Disney Pixar's *The Incredibles*. Among the most talked-about is Mrs. Incredible, also known as Elastigirl, who has quickly captured the attention of Fortnite players worldwide.
What’s Included in the Mrs. Incredible Skin?
Mrs. Incredible’s Fortnite skin, available for 1,500 V-Bucks, includes her iconic super suit from *The Incredibles* films. This skin is part of a larger bundle that includes other family members like Mr. Incredible and Frozone. The bundle costs 3,500 V-Bucks, offering a complete set of *The Incredibles* heroes to enhance your Fortnite gameplay.
A Quick Breakdown of the Bundle
- Mrs. Incredible (Elastigirl): The skin includes her signature red and black stretchy superhero outfit.
- Mr. Incredible: Also included in the bundle, with his blue and red suit.
- Frozone: Known for his ice powers, completing the trio of skins available in the set.
Why Is Mrs. Incredible So Popular?
From the moment the skin launched, Mrs. Incredible has become a standout favorite, sparking a wave of fan memes and videos across social media. Players particularly enjoy using Mrs. Incredible in combination with Fortnite’s popular emotes, especially dance moves. In fact, some fans have even compared her popularity to Chun-Li, another famously popular female character from *Street Fighter*, which highlights how quickly she’s gained traction.
Memes and Social Media Buzz
Since her release, social media has been flooded with jokes, fan art, and gameplay clips featuring Mrs. Incredible. Some of the most viral content includes videos of the character performing Fortnite's dance emotes, including the “Party Hips” move.

Comparisons to Other Iconic Fortnite Skins
The arrival of Mrs. Incredible has revived comparisons to other beloved skins in Fortnite, most notably Chun-Li. Both characters are known for their strong, recognizable looks and have captured a large portion of the Fortnite fanbase. With Chun-Li being absent from the store for several hundred days, Mrs. Incredible has become a new favorite for players looking to bring some power and style to their matches.

How to Get the Mrs. Incredible Skin
To unlock Mrs. Incredible, players can purchase the skin individually for 1,500 V-Bucks or get the full bundle for 3,500 V-Bucks, which includes Mr. Incredible and Frozone. However, act quickly—the skins will only be available in the shop until early October 2024.
