For a petty reason, Syndrome became a serial killer and put the whole city in danger and destroyed the plane on which the children were all due to the fact that Mr. Exceptional rejected him and then for a just reason. The Syndrome started hysterical and started running. Also Sir Miles Axelorod had a foolish reason too, as he is already rich. Goulfinger and Eliot Carver tried to commit mass murder to get even richer, even though they are both rich already.
