Its 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 wouldnt have gone down the supervillain path. Its probably inaccurate to call Syndrome a supervillain anyway. He doesnt want to spread anarchy or seize the worlds riches he just wants to give everyone superpowers to devalue real superpowers. While its true that everyone having a power would make it far less remarkably, we truly wouldnt care if we were able to fly through the air and play catch with cars.
