Syndrome from The Incredibles

Syndrome is the villain from The Incredibles who hatches an evil plot: Create the perfect destroying machine, unleash it on helpless civilians, then destroy it and look like a super hero.

Buddy Pine: Syndrome as a Kid 

Syndrome's real name is Buddy Pine, though he would probably deny it if you asked him. He despises his real name.

Yet the name Buddy was strangely fitting when he was a kid who worshiped Mr. Incredible. He covered his walls with posters of his hero and was part of a Mr. Incredible fan club. But his hero-worshiping went a little too far when he tried to team up with Mr. Incredible as his sidekick, Incredi-Boy.

Mr. Incredible was not amused about being stalked and harassed by an obsessed fan. He rebuffed Buddy: "Fly home, Buddy. I work alone."

From that day, Buddy's adoration became hatred. This hatred was directed not only at Mr. Incredible, but apparently at every super hero who possessed special powers that Buddy could only dream about.

Apart from being insecure, obsessive, and a little crazy, Buddy was also an extraordinarily intelligent boy. He even made rocket boots that enabled him to fly.

Syndrome the Super Villain 

Buddy Pine grew up to become a successful and wealthy weapons designer. He also came up with a new identity for himself, complete with a super hero's (or in this case super villain's) costume: Syndrome.

Syndrome created weapons and gadgets for himself that more than compensated for his lack of super powers. But no matter how powerful he became, he never got over his last encounter with Mr. Incredible, nor did he get over his jealousy of super heroes as a whole. Syndrome came up with a plan for destroying the super heroes one by one and becoming their successor.

The ironic thing about Syndrome is that he doesn't realize that he already has a super power. He possesses super intelligence. He invents gadgets and weapons that are far ahead of their time. With super intelligence, he can create his own super powers and be anything he wants to be.

But like any other super villain, Syndrome chooses to use his gift for evil.
