Many, many people (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22heat+miser%22+syndrome&btnG=Google+Search) agree with you.

Since I was unfamiliar with Heat Miser until The Incredibles came out and people started making the comparison I like to think that Heat Miser was preemptively modeled on Syndrome.
