Biography
Lego The Incredibles - Stratogale voice clips
Stratogale's voice.
Stratogale was a friend of both Helen and Bob Parr, having attended their wedding alongside Meta Man, Thunderhead, Dynaguy, and Gazerbeam.
Some time after this, on April 23, 1957, having just pulled a commercial airliner from a steep dive, Stratogale’s cape got caught in a jet turbine, pulling her in and killing her. Edna later recounted her accidental death when arguing with Bob over the design of his new supersuit. Despite knowing of Stratogale, Bob simply dismissed Edna's story as "generalization."
Stratogale’s NSA audio file was deemed incomprehensible. This was due either to faulty equipment or a high level of ambient wind noise.
Personality
- "High flying Stratogale was a symbol of hope and peace. Until an unfortunate accident with her cape and a jet engine."
- —Top Trumps: The Incredibles.
Stratogale was noted as being deeply altruistic, volunteering at the zoo bird hatchery in her secret identity. It is implied that she was a bit of a daydreamer, with her NSA file saying she "keeps her head in the clouds." Although, this could be a pun on her powers of flight.
