Feel a little bit of the current 'villains are after the heroes' talk versus older origin stories which while sometimes revenge are 'oh, I can outspeed a bullet. I should fight crime.'

Villains do exist because heroes exist, though that's Doylist reasoning. Literally, heroes need someone at least slightly noteworthy to fight otherwise the story is boring.
More Watsonian reasoning would be because either heroes or villains exist, their existence makes someone capable/willing to be the opposite step up to fill the position, and it can go either way.
