Top Comments of this video!! :3
The tragic part of his character is how much he actually has and what he wastes it on. He has a private island, is extremely rich, super technology and is wickledly intelligent, but he WASTES all of this on the most petty and ultimately pointless plans ever. It is somewhat played for laughs, but when you think about it more its quite tragic.

Syndrome’s biggest problem was his inability to let go of the past. He believed that Mr. Incredible’s rejection of his offer to be his sidekick vindicated his belief that his lack of superpowers prevented him from becoming a superhero, when, in truth, he was an impulsive kid, who was bound to get himself killed, due to this. He never tried to better himself or recognize his flaws, but chose to lash out at those that denied him what he felt he deserved.

I do think you missed a tiny point in the car conversation - Mr Incredible isn't frustrated at having to do that generally, it's that Buddy, by this point, is effectively stalking him and seemingly takes up a LOT of his time doing... not quite this sort of thing but verging on it. I always got the impression that this is not the first time Mr Incredible has had to let Buddy down, and he'd BEEN gentle every other time - but Buddy just ignored it until he ACTUALLY got into trouble.

“I am your number one fan” never got creepier. Syndrome/Buddy Pine shares similarities with Reverse-Flash, Annie Wilkes, and Gil Renard from The Fan (1996). They’re all obsessed with their idols to the point of nearly deifying them. When they get let down or their image of them shatters, that obsession turns into hatred. That hate fuels their motivation to destroy that image. They essentially fall in hate with the hero/protagonist.

Another detail that people never catch is during the “Fly home buddy, I work alone” scene, we see Bob confronting and dealing with Bomb Voyage, yet in Buddy’s perspective and flashback, we just see Mr. Incredible denying and turning him down in a freshly lit room for no good reason.
This really lets us know that Syndrome’s obsession with Mr. Incredible is so far off the deep end that he forgot why he liked and idolized Mr. Incredible in the first place, being a superhero.

Fun fact: according to a behind the scenes segment on DVD, in an early draft of the movie Syndrome was supposed to be a minor villain who appeared and was destroyed at the beginning of the movie, but the staff adored the character and reworked the story so he could be the main villain in the final version of the movie.

This was brought up to me a while back:
When Buddy was rejected, Mr. Incredible was dealing with a supervillain (one whom he seem to have past altercations), so he’s constantly moving his eyes between Buddy & Bomb-Boyage. Yet in Buddy’s “memory”, Mr. Incredible is posing, lording over him, even ending with a dismissive wave. None of that happen; heck Buddy just “forgets” that their was a villain in the same room, he evens ignores the damage he (intentionally) caused on the train bridge.

It's definitely true that Syndrome really took what Mr Incredible said to heart, but it's also been twisted in his mind by his hatred. When you compare the actual scene of Mr Incredible telling him to go home or that he works alone(i forget which one) to the version he remembers, it seems much worse than the actual scene was.

Syndrome was SO fixated on the super part of superhero that he completely neglected the most important part: the hero part
