Buddy used to be Mr. Incredible's biggest fan, but rejection by Mr. I has rendered him a villain, indeed the most menacing supervillain a person could imagine. As Syndrome, Buddy is capable of destroying the world, unless the Incredibles doff their normalcy and become again the superheroes they are meant to be. To save the world, the superheroes need to know the secret password, KRONOS.
Mr. Incredible's pseudo-paternal rejection of Buddy creates a situation where filial succession is about to transpire. ... Or, is there some other explanation for the Kronos allusion?
