The Character: Voiced by Brad Bird and boasting more than a passing resemblance to diminutive actress Linda Hunt, Edna Mode is the epitome of the word ‘firecracker’.
Half German and half Japanese, she made a living as a fashion designer for the world’s top superheroes before all those lawsuits shooed them into hiding.
Screen-time: Punctuating the film with her brassy, no-nonsense attitude, Edna has a few key scenes, most memorably the fiery test display for her new fabric.
Lasting Impression: Beating Elasti-Girl around the face with a newspaper, flame-grilling model babies...
Want proof she’s not been forgotten? Edna presented Pierce Brosnan with the Best Costume Design Oscar at the 77th Academy Awards ceremony...
