Syndrome dies at the end of The Incredibles : after trying to kidnap Jack- Jack and escape with his jet, his cape gets sucked into the turbine, and the jet explodes. He’s defeated by his own overconfidence, which is the movie’s big payoff for his whole “no one is special if everyone is super” obsession.

What happens

  • Syndrome is beaten by the Parr family’s teamwork.
  • He attempts to flee with Jack-Jack.
  • The cape incident destroys his escape plan and kills him.

Why it matters

His ending is meant to be ironic: the villain who built his identity around controlling superpowers is undone by the very tech and ego he relied on.

Extra context

There’s also been recent attention on the role itself because Jack Black said he was once offered to voice Syndrome and later regretted turning it down.
