OK, but look at the material outside of the film for even more sadness. Allow me to explain:
Every single character had a personality, and many of them had a voice through audio files. (link)
Universal Man refused to have a secret identity, and it was messing up his dating life. He likely never adjusted to civilian life, and his file mentioned he had low self esteem.
Gamma Jack believed Supers to be a superior race and was an egomaniac, and admitted to usually kill the villains, but you can’t help but chuckle when you hear him admit he prefers to save hot women before anyone else, and has to remind himself that hot female villains are still villains that need to be…killed. Also, there was a security warning on that
Gazerbeam was socially awkward because he could accidentally trigger his powers when staring too intently at something or someone, so a lot of people mistakenly thought he was being rude because he wouldn’t make eye contact. He also claims to be very humorous, while his written files claim that he has no sense of humor.
Hypershock had a hangover during his interview and stormed off halfway through to try and get some coffee.
Psycwave used her mind-control powers as a teen to get boys to ask her out, and suddenly realized in the middle of th interview how creepy that was.
Stormicide talked about how because she had “gas powers” she was the butt of every joke, and then laughed long with the crew when she realized she had said butt.
Thunderhead (not killed by Syndrome, but still) adopted 5 children that he raised with his “roommate” Scott (yeah, sure Pixar) and his interview was outtakes of a “stay in school” message…but he dropped out of school, so he felt really conflicted about giving the message, and couldn’t read the script, and tried to improvise, resulting in lines such as, “Stay in school or–you’ll end up like me…wait, that’s not right.”
Everseer was very intelligent, successful therapist and author, but an extreme germaphobe, because one of his powers included seeing microscopic organisms, along with mind-based powers, which he used to avoid making physical contact with his enemies because “ew, germs”
And these supers had teams, some successful, some unsuccessful. The Thrilling Three did not work out due to inner arguments.
OK, great, but it gets worse: if you go through Syndrome’s files and compare them to the NSA files on the DVD bonus features, almost every super in those NSA files was killed by Syndrome, except Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Frozen, and Plasmabolt, who did not appear in the film at all, and the characters who died from a suit malfunction.
Those files make the scene where Mr. Incredible sees that they’ve all died that much harder, because it’s almost as if you knew them.
But to top that off, there were names mentioned in Syndrome’s files that weren’t in the NSA files, which means he likely went after supers who also weren’t sponsored by the government, maybe even supers from other countries.
Everseer had the power of Clairvoyance, the ability to see into the future, and in The Incredibles comic book series, Everseer was revealed to have predicted his death ten years ahead of the events of the film. He knew he was going to be killed. Did he know how? Did he know by whom? Did he try to stop it? Did he accept his fate? (Oh, and his brain was kept and used by a villain, later…do I even want to know how that other villains got Everseer’s lobotomized brain?)
