10 Film Villains We Secretly Wanted To Win

By Sam Heard /

6. Buddy Pine/Syndrome €“ The Incredibles

It€™s hard to hate Buddy Pine (also known as Syndrome) when his €˜evil€™ intentions are to bestow the gift of superpowers to the world. Of course some of the elements to his master plan are underhand and even criminal but hey €“ you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette. Do you really think the Henry Fords and Thomas Edisons of the world got to where they were without stepping on a few toes? It must also be remembered that Buddy was practically forced to hate superheroes when €“ in his younger years €“ he was shunned by Mr. Incredible after trying his hardest to impress him. Maybe if the burly hero had been a bit more understanding Buddy wouldn€™t have gone down the supervillain path. It€™s probably inaccurate to call Syndrome a supervillain anyway. He doesn€™t want to spread anarchy or seize the world€™s riches €“ he just wants to give everyone superpowers to devalue real superpowers. While it€™s true that everyone having a power would make it far less remarkably, we truly wouldn€™t care if we were able to fly through the air and play catch with cars.
