Syndrome/Buddy Pine

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Big Bad
  • Badass:
  • Byronic Hero: A villainous example.
  • The Chessmaster
  • Complete Monster: About halfway through the film, he's crossed the line into this. By the end he's the most evil Pixar villain ever.
  • Dangerously Genre Savvy: This, more than all of his minions and weapons, is what's most threatening about him.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: The reason why he commits genocide against supers and spends a good deal of the film doing all he can to piss off Mr. Incredible? He was turned away when he wanted to be his sidekick, which was done for his own safety.
  • Evil Genius
  • Evil Redhead: Overlaps with...
  • Face Heel Turn: Went from an obnoxious yet well-meaning fanboy of Mr. Incredible's to a criminal mastermind.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare
  • Gadgeteer Genius
  • Hero-Killer: A lot of heroes.
  • Hero Syndrome
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: The cape he chose to wear for his costume gets caught in the turbine of his plane and he's sucked into it.
  • I'm Your Biggest Fan
  • Jerkass: Dear god. And this is pretty much the nicest thing you can say about the guy, too.
  • Karmic Death: Is killed when the car his money let Mr. Incredible buy is thrown into his plane while he's threatening to return to take his revenge on them.
  • Kick the Dog: A whole lot.
  • Killed Off for Real
  • Knight of Cerebus: While not exactly upbeat, the movie certainly takes a darker turn when he shows up.
  • Large Ham: He's quite fond of his Evil Gloating.
  • Lack of Empathy: Shows a disturbing amount when he's torturing Mr. Incredible, not only laughing when he finds out that his family are on board the plane that's being attacked, but when he tries to goad him into killing Mirage.
  • Loony Fan: He started off as Mr. Incredible's ultra-obsessed fan. He later became his ultra-obsessed enemy.
  • Mad Scientist
  • Pet the Dog: Despite bordering on Complete Monster, the one decent thing he does in not simply kill Kari the babysitter in order to take Jack-Jack when he very well could have. Of course this moment doesn't appear in the actual film, while his numerous Kick the Dog moments do...
  • Psychopathic Manchild: Despite being a ridiculously rich and intelligent man, he never mentally matured past childhood in regards to Mr. Incredible.
  • Smug Snake
  • The Sociopath
  • The Team Wannabe
  • Who's Laughing Now?: He was turned away by Mr. Incredible despite just wanting to help, giving him a grudge against natural superheroes. "See, now you respect me. Because I'm a threat. That's the way it works. Turns out there a lot of people, whole countries, who want respect..."
    • Never mind that Bob turning him away wasn't out of malice or arrogance but for Buddy's own safety. The kid nearly got himself blown up, for crying out loud. Buddy, however, didn't see it that way, as you can tell from his flashback of Bob telling him this.
