My heroes would continue doing just what they are doing, several are Federal Agents, One is a Nurse, One is a movie star and owner of a company your retired heroes could work for, Damage Control INC rebuilding Paragon one building at a time.
To follow my heroes and others in this very thing, check out our continuing stories in the Whitmoore Apt Thread. Check it out you might like it.

Umm.... what if your a villain.
Anyways yea I would keep fighting. What I'm doing is already illegal, what the going to do arrest him me.
My controller, Raven, was created by the Circle of Thorns as part of a human-demon hybrid experiment by merging a part of the Envoy's power with one of their kidnapped victims. If the CoT were defeateds she would probably try to slowly fade into the background, become a librarian, anything to isolate herself as she still feels like she doesn't really belong with the rest of humanity (her 'father' being the Envoy of Shadows is what led to this feeling).
My tank, Captain Supremo, would continue to serve in some legal/peace keeping capacity as this was his original reason for putting on the cape.
My other tank would return to being an ordinary school girl, her only reason for taking up crime fighting was that crooks 'annoyed' her to no end whenever they'd cause a ruckus. She wants nothing more than to live a normal life. She would, however, continue to hang around Raven as she considers the other girl her best friend.
My villain would try to take over another dimension as soon as she overthrew Recluse 
You know the feeling. Once you pop, you can't stop 
If my characters came to work for yours, you would not just get a herd of powerful anthros, not a single one under 7 feet (except the kids, they're smaller) but also their constructed forms- massive Tower cranes! Lots of them.
BTW- I took a look at the in-game towers- they're missing their hook and trolley assembly completely!

Being 50 now, my troller is in semi-retirement. What I used to say she did in her downtime was she'd go to a soup kitchen somewhere in Sky. She has an apartment in Talos Island but doesn't spend much time there. She just likes to look at the building as she flies by it.
She has coffee with Jim Bell regularly. Actually she makes a point to stay in touch with all her contacts. She is asked to speak at luncheons and make appearances at galas and fundraisers. She still does stuff for homeless shelters and orphanages, having been an orphan herself and a runaway, she's very big into supporting those kinds of charities. She parties a lot. In fact I've often been under the impression that to her all this fighting is just very physical dancing - like her idea of a mosh pit. BTW: Paragon Dance Party is a place where she doesn't do a lot of partying. She's not impressed.
So come to think of it, I don't think my Elu is fighting now. I don't think she ever was fighting. She was dancing! =)

If Benny Edison didn't have to fight, he'd be watching reruns of Mystery Science Theater 3000 while eating cheetos and getting fat in a comfy couch.
If your hero didn't need to fight anymore, what would they do?
This is different from what if superheroing became illegal, and your character was FORCED into something else. What if they could retire peacefully, because the vast majority of criminals had been dealt with and Paragon city was relatively peaceful again?
My skyscraper woman Anlek'Toh would most likely go back to watching over her tenants, that is when she wasn't using her humanoid form to have fun with. Now that she's discovered what it's like to move around as opposed to being rooted into solid bedrock as skyscrapers generally are, I imagine she would want to keep doing that. To alleviate boredom, and to make sure nothing like the Crey corporation happens again, I can see her and others of her kind working with law enforcement as part of a special white collar crime devision.
My crane characters want nothing more than to resume their old jobs in construction, helping to rebuild devestated parts of the city. Of course, Anlek'Toh would want in on this too- she lost alot of friends, so rebuilding is another cause close to her heart.
And my two dockyard crane characters D'Jonda and Allellani would like to resume their peaceful lives of work and meditation down at the container terminal- after all, somebody's got to offload all the supplies the rebuilding effort will require. Not to mention keep the dockworker's unions honest and fair.
But I also suspect my band of anthro heroes would keep their weapons ready, after all, the price of freedom IS eternal vigilance.
