Um…why do Blast’s allies during the MA arc look like villains?

After catching up (Chapter #200) in the manga illustrated by Murata one of the things that captivate me were these characters’ cameos in the Monster Association arc
Obviously, with where the manga is currently at these characters will return since they’re blast’s allies but why do they look like past villains? Did he stumble upon them in different parallel worlds while fighting God and searching for the cubes and they’re the heroes of those worlds?

I think we're actually supposed to be looking at Blast with a HUGE amount of doubt. He's not particularly good at protecting earth even though he said he would; he's bare minimum in close quarters with GOD; his partner was the guy who started the organization that's been breeding and stealing kids to treat them like farm animals; he's the top hero but he only really came back when he realized he could use the HA facilities to help said partner; Tatsumaki is royally fucked because of him; Flash is terrified of him and he's the only person we've seen who seems to have done personal research into him; if you're reading the webcomic he's NOT any better there...
Like Blast makes a lot of huge promises and never follows through. It ruins things for a lot of people, to the point where they've ended up almost as bad if not worse than if he'd never interacted with them at all.
I LOVE him being surrounded by villains. I don't think he has malicious intent, but it's an INCREDIBLE way to frame the question of "well if someone has all the power in the world, why don't they just try to help everyone?" And like...all that on top of the running themes of questioning what really makes someone heroic, or who are the the real monsters/heroes, or what do you actually need to do to feel happy AND fulfilled
