His stated goal was to spread his technology so that everybody could be equal to supers. It was supremely egalitarian. What's wrong with that?

The whole "murdering supers for revenge" thing was just a side quest to make sure the audience understood he was holding the villain ball.

I think his genocide thing outweighs the whole egalitarian thing. I mean he launched a terrorist attack on a major population center all so he could be the hero. Syndrome has zero regard for human life.

His whole everyone is equal thing is solely so he can twist the knife into the backs of remaining supers because he hates them that much, he doesn't actually give a damn about equality.
