Mutants & Masterminds: The Incredibles?

[LoneWolf23]

The movie didn't really deal with what happened to Super-Villains during the "Capeless days" (although that would be fun for the sequal), but extrapolating from the movie, I can make the following guesses:
-The government probably offered a "protection program" to supervillains willing to hang up their masks, with a full-fledged pardon and either a government stipend or help in getting their own work.

-Without superheroes around to fight, there probably wasn't any real fun in going around dressed in a dark costume and laughing maniacally. So why bother?

-The smart villains probably realized that any "supervillain rampage" would only result in the Goverment re-instating superheroes ASAP, and they didn't want to ruin a good thing.

-The greedy supervillains quickly realized they could just continue their criminal activities, only dressed in ordinary street clothes and acting more subtly. How much do you want to bet that Organized Crime in the Incredibles universe is run by Supervillains in Business Suits?

Exactly. See how much fun it could be? You also have a significant percentage of normal people who would appreciate it when the superhero stepped in to smack down the mugger or bad guy and not tell the world. There could be a whole subculture of people assisting supers in their efforts to do good. What if Tony Soprano was really Doctor Doom in disguise? You have a small group of supers that are trying to bring down his organized syndicate in Metropolis while yet avoiding the eyes of the government or the law. Covert action at its best.
