A long time before the actual story, a group of heroes (I'm thinking the Scoobies, but it works with any heroes), after years and years of saving the world and becoming immortal, are rewarded by the Powers: a guarantee that the world and themselves will be kept safe and they will be basically blessed, and that they can just go off and enjoy life. It doesn't come too soon; the heroes are all weary and sick of fighting, and ready for an extended vacation.
Fast forward to "the present". A bean counter in the Powers notices they're expending a lot of power on people who, as far as he can tell, do nothing, so he or they cut that power off.
The heroes notice. By this point, they're rested and willing to rejoin the fight, and getting kind of bored now that the power which has been keeping them happy has been cut off. So they go back to the hero business. Experienced and rested, they're better at it than they were the first time around, and bounce around solving problems and causing chaos.
