Syndrome (real name Buddy Pine) is the main antagonist of the 2004 Disney/Pixar animated film The Incredibles. He originally wanted to be a superhero, but when his former idol Mr. Incredible rudely turned him down and rejected his offer, Syndrome went insane, became a supervillain, and devoted his life to killing superheroes for revenge on Mr. Incredible so he could take over as the world's sole "superhero", in addition to selling his impressive inventions to the world so that "everyone could be super" and therefore nobody would be unique.
