Syndrome (real name Buddy Pine) is the main antagonist of the 2004 Disney•Pixar animated film The Incredibles. He originally wanted to be a sidekick to his then-idol Mr. Incredible, however, Mr. Incredible had no interest in such a concept and considered it risky behavior. Pine did not accept this and believed that Mr. Incredible (and superheroes in general) were now nothing remarkable. To take revenge on Mr. Incredible, he becomes a supervillain and devotes his life to his vendetta. He used his high intellect to manufacture high-tech weaponry, making tremendous money as an arms dealer and buying a private island. He masterminded his plan to kill all superheroes by deploying all-terrain killing machines known as Omnidroids. Should a Super defeat an Omnidroid, Syndrome would put his plan on hiatus to analyze what happened and then later deploy upgraded models.
