Operation Kronos

Operation Kronos was a plan set forth in the movie The Incredibles by the villain, Syndrome.

Overview
In the training sessions of this plan, he would pit retired Supers against prototype units of his Omnidroid robot, under the pretense that it was a military project gone out of control and that they have a mission to shut it down. Any Super unsuccessful in defeating the robot ended up getting killed by it or by Syndrome himself.

When a Super does succeed in defeating an Omnidroid, Syndrome uses the data from the battle and creates an improved model, and uses it on the Super that last defeated it, before the pattern starts again. This was meant to make sure that he could make it strong enough to fight and defeat Mr. Incredible.

When Mr. Incredible defeated the eight prototype, Syndrome went to work on the Omnidroid v.X9, and had it ambush his former childhood hero. Using the data from the v.X9, he created theOmnidroid v.10, perfected for the final stage of the plan.

This robot was then deployed via rocket to attack the city of Metroville. Using a remote for the robot, Syndrome planned on "defeating" the robot, claiming glory for the victory and eventually rising to fame by becoming a "fake" Super. His plan was foiled however, when the Omnidroid learned of the remote's purpose and blasted it from Syndrome's possession, before turning on its creator.

That reflected Mr. Incredible's earlier words that "it became smart enough to wonder why it had to take orders", plus Syndrome had gotten too arrogant. The Incredibles and Frozone then went on to defeat the Omnidroid.
