Syndrome plans to unleash his devastating robot, The Omnidroid, into a densely populated city in The Incredibles. He believes that after he destroys it, everyone would view him as heroic.
The enemy typically possesses some form of doomsday device in comic book stories, which the hero ultimately destroys after taking advantage of a clear flaw.
Syndrome, however, is completely aware of this. He has a lifelong obsession with superheroes and is aware of their inventiveness in finding flaws in weapons and doomsday devices.
Syndrome plans to unleash his devastating robot, The Omnidroid, into a densely populated city in The Incredibles. He believes that after he destroys it, everyone would view him as heroic.
In actuality, Syndrome benefited from this truth. Under the guise of an unknown benefactor, he had for years « hired » superheroes and asked them to take out the Omnidroid, which they were told had gone rogue on an island.
If the superhero triumphed, Syndrome rebuilt the robot to make it resistant to the method of destruction. If the Omnidroid triumphed, Syndrome wouldn’t have to worry about another superhero.
