Not abuse, but when Dash starts (understandably) freaking out after the plane he, Helen, and Violet were in explodes and they fall into the sea. Helen puts a stop to this by yelling at Dash to get a hold of himself or she'd ground him for a month. I imagine that her reaction could be triggering to others.

Mr. Incredible thinks that Helen and Violet died, which could be seen as fridging, but they’re ultimately shown to have survived so there’s no brutalization. Bob chokes Mirage to try to force Syndrome to surrender but this isn’t particularly for spectacle.

As one commenter said about "Incredibles 2", in the original there is also mild, cartoony violence involving child super-heroes, but definitely no domestic abuse.

While technically there is not a hanging of an established character, but during the newspaper-style flash forward scene, there is a doll of a superhero being hung from the neck by a chain over some flames, which can be triggering.

In the cape sequence there are a few comedic circumstances that fit the definition.
There's also a dramatic fall scene where everyone survives.

Many people, half of them off camera and some of the others, in quick shots and as a comic gag.
The ones we do see are the bad guys and Gazerbeam, whose body is found by Mr Incredible.

Mild spoilers There’s a pause and read moment in which it’s heavily implied that one of the many superheroes that was killed by Syndrome was a guy in a domestic partnership with another man and even had adopted children with this partner.

Edna Mode, who is half-Japanese, is voiced by a white actor. Frozone’s wife is the “sassy Black woman” cliche. The DVD comes with a racist cartoon episode which portrays Frozone stereotypically and whitewashes him (this is overlaid with condemnatory commentary by Frozone).
