[The Incredibles] What about the villians?

Even if the heroes were banned and forced to be average citizens, how did they make the villains comply? Villains don't care what the laws are. Wouldn't banning heroes just make society worse with the villains running rampant?

Or is it the Megamind/Joker complex where getting rid of the heroes caused them to lose their motivation for supervillainy and they just became like common thugs or white collar criminals?

It's implied that the police/military are more than enough to handle villains when they show up. And when they aren't, insurance picks up the slack.

Important to note is that we don't see a single villain with powers. Bomb Voyage, Underminer, Screenslaver, Syndrome... They all used gadgets. It's possible that having superpowers makes you predisposed to heroism. Or, considering that mind wipe technology exists, all the super powered villains are captured and reprogrammed.
