Here's a thought. The heroes tend to perform one righteous deed after another, yet they're still stuck in purgatory. What if the villains are in purgatory until they redeem themselves and the heroes are in purgatory until they guide the villains to redemption? No villain ever truly redeems themselves and no heroes ever really guide them, thus the continuation of their struggles over the years.
