Why Gru VS Syndrome Isn't Even Close!

syndrome- "lets see how you like my new omni droid" gru- shrinks it down and stomps it like a bug

Syndrome is the type to misunderstand what a superhero is. He wants to be super, but doesn't understand real heroes.

I feel like Gru is on the level of Batman's prep time.

Plus, the Minions are Gru's weapons too. They may look adorable and stupid, but he uses them to help with some of his missions, and they are immortal. The movies themselves made that part clear.

There are also other advantages Gru has over Syndrome that you didn’t mention. 1: Gru has WAY more combat experience than Syndrome. While the Omnidroid has faced multiple supers and killed them with ease, Syndrome himself rarely ever fought anyone in a head-to-head fight. He’s seen far less action than Gru who in contrast has been on multiple missions for the AVL, personal missions against Vector, and been in more fights than Syndrome overall. Syndrome may be more book smart, but in combat tactics, Gru has him beat. 2: Composure. While both Gru and Syndrome have had their share of embarrassing moments, Syndrome’s own arrogance and overconfidence has left him wide open for counterattacks and make crucial mistakes in a fight; a problem he never learned from. In contrast, Gru often learns from his mistakes and adapts to hasty situations much better than Syndrome, who panics whenever things go wrong. Syndrome is used to things going exactly his way and is shown to freak out and fumble his work whenever things go wrong. Gru is far less likely to screw around and leave himself open compared to Syndrome. 3: Versatility. While Syndrome’s gadgets and machines are absolutely impressive, Syndrome is ironically a one-trick pony with his kit compared to Gru. All he really has are his Zero-Point gauntlets, the Omnidroid, rocket boots, and a single miniature explosive. It also doesn’t help that many of his weapons have been known to malfunction or turn against him in crucial moments (again due to his hubris). In contrast, Gru has multiple long range weapons (freeze ray, laser gun, lipstick taser), a shrinking ray, a personal jet and car he can call at any time, a fart gun, etc. Gru has so many more tools for offense and defense that he can fall back on to either create an opening or counter some of Syndrome’s options.

Has Syndrome ever punched a shark before? 🦈

I think something else to note about Syndrome is that, despite knowing about the various cliches, he can't help but get wrapped up in them due to his complexes. He wants to surpass his old idol, he wants to prove he's better. But he's got a lack of experience and a lack of acknowledgement of how dangerous what he's doing is and what can go wrong, something he shows as a youth (where Bomb Voyage nearly gets him killed and how his actions most likely helped start the mass expulsion of super heroes from society) and later on (where he gets caught monologuing, doesn't realize his adaptive robot might fight back against his commands if he faces it, and falls victim to how capes can get supers who wear them killed). It makes it all the more obvious that Gru would win because, from what I can assume, Gru HAS moved past those things while Syndrome is entrapped by them.

Gru built a macaroni rocketship when he was younger than kid Syndrome. Enough said

So a guy that has a version of Toon Force vs a guy that has no Toon Force? My money is on Toon Force guy.

Aww, I really wanted Gru vs Megamind...but this clearly works too!

Gru created some (annoying) yet indestructible creatures for minions. A swarm of them will overrun any Omni-droid.

We got a spy vs. A superhero wannabe.

One of Gru's greatest intentions is the shrink ray. He can shrink Syndrome and all his inventions.

No one beats kids movie physics

I absolutely knew how to watch this video to see if group came up on top and he did. Thanks for proving it all right.

Plus there is a good chance that Gru could just shrink himself get inside and turn the robots on his side with amount of knowledge he possesses about technology that would be very well possible

I just did some quick estimations, and found that Gru’s shrink ray can output at least 1.8*10^43 Joules. That is 20% the energy of a typical supernova and the equivalent to the amount of energy the sun emits in 1.5 MILLION YEARS!!!

I did research and a debate with my friend a few years back on who would win between another character and Felonius Gru so I unfortunately have a lot of experience on this subject. For facts about Gru, he has major advantages a lot of which come from the differences in his universe and ours. Gru has: -Being 12-14 feet tall -Can dodge missiles which (according to my math) we’re going at about 300 km/h -Can scale the Pyramid of Giza in under 20 seconds -Can jump at least 10 feet in the air -Agility and reaction time on par with the best people in the world -Strong enough to one hit a great white. (It was either paralyzed or KOed) -Top-tier infiltration and stealth -Acess to gadgets that are likely at Syndrome’s level. List includes: 1. Freeze ray 2. Fart gun 3. Rocket launchers 4. Shrink ray? (Technically not his) 5. Lipstick-taser? (Also not his, but he could have access to it) 6. The minions, Dr.Nefario, Dru, Lucy, and the Girls (only if we allow the Omnidroid and Syndrome’s goons as well) 7. The Grumobile 8. X-ray goggles 9. Heat ray 10. The suit from Despicable Me 3. Idk the name but it has a lot of gadgets built-in In summary, Gru easily has stronger allies than Syndrome, meaning for Syndrome to have a chance it has to be a 1v1, with them only being allowed what they can have on them. Even in this case through, I give Gru around a 90+% chance of winning.

Gru looks like The Penguin 🐧
