Was he a Super and just didn't realize it?

All signs point to him being a decently talented tech guy, but ALL of his inventions have glaring flaws he overlooks. He's the equivalent of the dude who makes a deadly BattleBot that can tear through most opponents, but then someone comes and flips him over and suddenly he's completely useless. The fact that he killed so many Supers but never picked up on the "no capes" pattern was testament to him not knowing as much as he wanted people to believe he did.

this guy was funded by the government because they were tired of paying supers expenses for their new lives, specially bob
you don't get an entire tropical island in the middle of the pacific with all that infrastructure unless you're a billionare or funded by the american government

Everything we see in both movies points to it just being a fact that all supervillains have money powers or science powers or both, and that's it. And I guess when the Supers are gone they all go into a Joker-like depression without their nemeses, and just stop doing stuff

The point was that he was an ordinary kid who pushed himself to become talented and special in spite of Mr Incredible who was born special. He's the twisting of the bootstrap narrative. Everyone has an equal oppertunity to make it, including himself, but at the expense of surpressing those few born to change the world not being able to without having to contend with the ordinary plebians who have climbed the boostrap and protecting their foundations from agents of change. The more things change, the more things stay the same; when everyone is super, nobody will be. That's the message with his character. Even Bob can only progress in his life as a surpressed supet by faking his own bootstrap journey through the corporate ladder in Syndrome's shell company.
