Personally, I like the fact that the villains fight among themselves- I always hated the ideas that a group so full of self-serving individuals would band together against the heroes. I liked that they portrayed the infighting, but enough people are seeing the dearth of hero battles as a problem. Adding more "hero armies" probably wouldn't cut it, though. Comics have organizations like SHIELD, sure, but they're few and far between. You could probably use the hero groups a little better, perhaps. Many breeze by without a good storyline to flesh them out- one could easily drop a few "Circle of Thorns" quests for a more fleshed-out Luddites, for example. Or... for that matter... How many times has my hero been sent to break up a gang war between the Tsoo and the Family? Why not just have a triggered hero event: Just as you're ready to tear into Bulldog & crew of the Family, WISDOM crashes through a warehouse window. It could be a 3-way battle, an "everyone vs you" or a "we'll settle this later, take out the capes" kind of exchange. It might only take a few of these subtle changes...
