In The Incredibles, a 2004 action, animated film made by Pixar and Disney, Syndrome is the name of the main supervillain. He has a height of 6 ft, 1 in (1.85 m), and weighs 185 lb (84 kg). He is voiced by Jason Lee.
Early years
Syndrome's real name is Buddy Pine. He was Mr. Incredible's number 1 fan, top of the Mr. Incredible fan club, and Mr. Incredibles's self-appointed sidekick, "Incrediboy" for a few minutes.
He showed up in Mr. Incredible's car after Mr. Incredible had just finished rescuing a cat from a tree and catching a police pursued burgler. He was quickly thrown out. Buddy later showed up when Mr. Incredible had just caught Bomb Voyage, robbing a bank. This is when he showed Mr. Incredible his rocket boots while announcing "I can fly. Can you fly?" and Mr. Incredible quickly told him "Fly home, Buddy. I work alone." Buddy remembered this line. In his later years as Syndrome, he had a brief flashback to this line while monologuing to Mr. Incredible. In the flashback, Bomb Voyage wasn't even present, showing Buddy/Syndrome's skewed interpretation of the event and of Mr. Incredible.
While attempting to get the police, Bomb Voyage attached a time bomb to his cape. Mr. Incredible grabbed Buddy's cape, trying to get the bomb off, but both of them went for an unstable flight. Mr. Incredible eventually pulled off the bomb. Buddy was later escorted home by the police. Buddy apparently never forgave Mr. Incredible for this rejection and began to work for his revenge.
Later years
Syndrome become very wealthy by selling his weapons to the highest bidder. He owns an island in the Pacific Ocean named Nomanisan Island, which contains his top secret base. He has recruited a large number of people which work for him as guards and various other jobs. Some of his best inventions are his gloves and wrist bands which have a life-sensing device, a small but powerful bomb, and let him surround people with a beam of freezing, zero-point energy, velocipods, which are round cars with four surrounding blades which spin at high speeds to keep them airborne, vipers, which have a helicopter body, but two blades attatched at both sides of it, which twist to change its direction and speed up and slow down to control its height, and omnidroids, which are large robots with a round, pop-out, camera at the top (and sometime bottom). There were ten versions. He tests his omnidroids on supers who want to get back into action, to improve his omnidroids and to get revenge on supers. He has a large grudge on supers ever since what happened between him and Mr. Incredible as a kid. He started Operation Kronos but was unsuccessful when he failed and Mr. Incredible ruined it. He then tried to kidnap Mr. Incredible's baby, Jack-Jack, and raise him as his sidekick. Jack-Jack didn't want to leave and turned to fire, lead, and into a red demon-like creature. Syndrome dropped Jack-Jack, and Jack-Jack was caught by his mother, Elastigirl, who was thrown by Mr. Incredible, and she turned into a parachute which brought them safely to the ground. Syndrome returned to the jet waiting for him above Mr. Incredible's house. He hung out of the side door when he yelled "This isn't the end of it. I will get your son eventually. I'll get your son." followed by laughter. Mr. Incredible threw a car at him, which broke of the front of the plane, throwing him infront of one of the jet's engines. His cape pulled him into it, and he probably died this way. If he did not, it was probably the fiery explosion that followed which killed him.
