No, it's not implied digital
No
You mean like when he gloated in front of the guy he dedicated his entire lifetime to and finally gets to gloat over? Something Stark doesn't have going for himself?
I'll just say it, Syndrome gets downplayed as shit in his effectiveness, first example people bring up for his gloating, his debut scene, LITERALLY IRREPLICABLE by anyone except Mr. Incredible, and the last encounter is him actively holding back against the Omnidroid to get a fight going for the crowd. When there was a scenario Syndrome didn't recognize people, i.e. when he first met Incredibles, he OPENED WITH Zero-Point and immediately restrained 4 people with extreme ease.
Again, recognize, there is NOTHING for Syndrome to even GLOAT ABOUT, he doesn't give a single **** about Iron Man vs. someone as crucial to his life than Mr. Incredible, you're using what are contextually hyper-emotional scenarios for him, and extending it to his general behavior. This'll be equivalent to using someone's behavior during a panic attack and saying they're like that 24/7.
