This is a weirdly specific question, but I just got the idea so here we go. Would Bob or Helen have had any kind of reaction to seeing Syndrome’s death? I mean it would be pretty jarring seeing someone die the same way as a loved one. Just curious.

I’m sure it would have been, were they focused on Syndrome at all at the time in happened! But I honestly think 100% of their attention was on their infant who was free-falling hundreds of feet.  (Even had they known about Jack-jack’s powers, that’s still a terrifying thing to see!)  Helen wasn’t even facing the jet when it exploded, she was preoccupied with trying to console Jack-Jack and to telling him to look at Mommy, not the huge explosion.  😂

I do think had they been looking, it would have been an upsetting sight, especially for Bob.  The way I headcanon it, he actually saw Gail get sucked into the turbine, although it was from pretty far away.  As much as I’m sure they loathed Syndrome, I don’t think Helen or Bob wanted him to die.  Punished, surely, but not like that.
