Fallowing his initial plans were foiled, Syndrome planned to abduct Jack-Jack & raise him as a brother, however failed. Syndrome's cape had caught inside his sooty's intake & sucked him within. In case non for the engine's blades, a explosion immediately resulting seems to point towards a guide that he was flushed.
