Buddy Pine, popularly known as Syndrome, used to be a kid who idolized Mr. Incredible, a superhero. However, after being turned down to be the sidekick, Buddy's fascination grew into obsession and bitterness. Consumed by a need for validation from Mr. Incredible, he employed his brains and wealth, becoming Syndrome, a supervillain with a mission to destroy the person he once idolized to prove to the world he was that much better.
