The Living Tribunal, the Celestial Host, and Pre-Retcon Beyonder arrive on earth. They decree that henceforth the so-called "supervillains" of earth can no longer carry out any criminal acts. The same goes for the high level organized crime groups and crimelords such as AIM, Hydra, Kingpin, Mr Negative, etc.
They lose all their powers (intellect excluded). All their bank accounts are frozen. All their weapons, equipment, current holdings of cash and valuables, hideouts and so on are seized. They give up any rights they may have as sovereigns. They are left with literally nothing but their regular street clothes (or given some if they don't have any) and turned out on the street.
They must now earn an honest living for the rest of their lives. Any attempt at deliberately turning back to criminal activities will result in them ceasing to exist by order of the cosmic assembly.
So what do these guys do to make ends meet? Choose anyone but a few candidates:
Doom
Magneto
Apocalypse
Kingpin
Thanos (say he is on earth at the time)
Dracula
Absorbing Man
Carnage
Enchantress
Rhino
Blob
Moonstone
Nefaria
Selene
Mephisto
Re: What would the villains all do if crime stopped?
Doom- His intellect still intact he goes on business as usual. Magic and science is knowledge based. Though he would just join the Future Foundation.
Magneto- Plays chess in the park.
Apocalypse- Bum.
Kingpin- Corporate scumbag.
Thanos (say he is on earth at the time)- Becomes more of a threat than the usual crime kingpins. He still has tech knowledge. Corporate CEO of the planets biggest company long enough to leave the planet and start again.
Dracula- Bum....you bastard.
Absorbing Man- Utter Bum.
Carnage- Serial Killer.
Enchantress- Prostitute/check out chick....whatever.
Rhino- Bum.
Blob- Bum.
Moonstone- Doctor.
Nefaria- Bum.
Selene- Trophy wife.
Mephisto- Lolz. Fortune 500 business man in a matter of weeks.
or even DC
Lex- Business as usual. President.
Joker- Business as usual. Pimp Supreme.

Doom would probably become the greatest force for good on Marvel Earth as it's been said and implied several times over should he turn away from "evil".
Re: What would the villains all do if crime stopped?
Doom - richest man on the planet because of his smarts and magic knowledge.
Magneto -
Apocalypse - sells shawarma
Kingpin - sumo wrestler lol
Thanos (say he is on earth at the time) - kmc thanos is unaffected by LT and others. He's the avatar of death.
Dracula - blood donor.
Absorbing Man - bodyguard
Carnage - hell keep doing his thing until the cosmics erase him.
Enchantress -
Rhino - guenia pig
Blob - Kingpins sparring partner

Re: What would the villains all do if crime stopped?
Doom - Will probably end up becoming the chairperson of the EU or some such sh1t .
Magneto - Will start a worldwide activist movement for the formation of separate mutant-majority nation states.
Apocalypse - Will become a Harvard professor on darwinism and natural selection .
Kingpin - Will go out of business . Bankrupt and broke .
Thanos (say he is on earth at the time) - Will probably end up discovering some random omnipotent artifact and overrule the Abstracts' decree, remake the universe/multiverse/omniverse or some such schtick.
Dracula - Will stop drinking blood.
Absorbing Man - Will go to hauling cargo on ship decks .
Carnage - Will end up as a lab specimen for some random medical research facilty/academy.
Enchantress - Will resort to belly-dancing for oil cabals .
Rhino - Join Pro Wrestling .
Blob - Same as above .
Moonstone - Will start working as a stripper or working as a nude model posing for men's magazines .
Nefaria - Dunno.
Selene - Dunno.
Mephisto - Will probably cease to exist .
I am guessing you didn't see the scan in which Osborn tells her how popular her underwear clad doll figure is with adult males, did you?
It all boils down to which career would be better suited to her. Imo she would probably be far more successful as a nude model/adult entertainer rather than as a psychologist.
Re: What would the villains all do if crime stopped?
Didn't notice this before, but my response is predictable as I think both these things have been done either in the comics or the animated series before:
Lex - Will end up as the President of the United States.
Joker - Will run the Arkham Asylum.
Yeah, somehow I guessed Moonstone and Enchantress were going to end up strippers or prostitutes for some reason. Moonstone is actually a medical doctor, being a psychiatrist.
What he does is illegal. He breaks the law constantly. He's a criminal. So under the terms he would have to cease and desist or face annihilation.
Moonstone ens up in that particular profession because of this : (please log in to view the image)
