Actually the closest reference to existing comics stories would be to Alan Moore's excellent series 'Watchmen' which came out in the 80s. Though 'Watchmen' was far from being aimed at kids there are several similar themes and I have to believe that more than one of the creators of 'The Incredibles' was more than passingly familiar with 'Watchmen'.
Oddly a studio is in pre-production on a 'Watchmen' film which I honestly hope never gets made- 1) Because 'The Incredibles' *did* cover some of the same ground in a much more family-centric way and 2) because I don't think any filmmaker will be able to do justice (no pun intended) to 'Watchmen' and instead I feel it will become yet another 'action figures and happy meal' movie which is FAR from the actual intent of the story.
