One of the greatest scenes in any animated movies. Until then as a kid watching superhero stuff if you were a hero you were pretty safe unless sacrificing yourself to save the world but the Incredibles was just like "nah all these good heroes were unceremoniously murdered." 
They picked a time of heroes when it was camp and full of gadgets, villains with secret lairs all the stuff kids love and then hit you with a dose of reality that good people can not only die but be murdered without the world even noticing. It broke the childhood hero illusion.
