Pixar received permission from DC Comics to use the name in the film as long as it wasn't used in the merchandising. In the merchandising (and almost twice in the film) she's referred to as "Mrs. Incredible". Additionally, in what appears to be an homage to the original character from the comics, Helen's costume during her heroine career as a young woman, is white and red and includes a headband, just like Rita's original costume from the Silver Age, as well as the same hairstyle."
