I can't be the only one thinking that his constant drive to become stronger and change his very nature seems to be out of a need to compensate for something...
And before anyone asks how he could have ever made Captain without having a Bankai, just think about it for a second...

If he doesn't have a bankai, it'd be a bit of a plot hole. Because it's a fact that those who've achieved bankai are able to release to shikai without saying their zanpakuto's release command. And this is something Aizen has taken advantage of time and time again.
In fact, even when we saw him perform the hypnosis ceremony on someone for the very first time (Barragan), he did not say his zanpakuto's command to release to shikai in order to initially trap him under its spell.
