Spider-Man was swinging through the streets of New York, when he sensed a sudden surge of energy from the Empire State Building.
He quickly and silently made his way, only to find a scene of chaos and utter destruction. A man in a black suit and a metal mask was standing on the roof, holding a device that looked like a giant laser cannon.
He was laughing maniacally as he fired beams of red light at the city, causing explosions and fires everywhere.127Please respect copyright.PENANAaB74dyjrvC
Spider-Man recognized him as Dr. Doom, a notorious villain who had clashed with the mighty Fantastic Four and other heroes before. He wondered what he was doing here, and what his plan was. He decided to confront him, hoping to stop him before he caused more damage.127Please respect copyright.PENANAhGX0QtShYE
"Hey, Doom! What's the big idea? You know you can't just go around blasting things with your fancy new toy, right?" Spider-Man shouted as he landed on the roof.127Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ5SQjFqt2
"Spider-Man! How nice of you to join me! I was hoping you would show up. You see, this is not just a toy. This is my new weapon of terrible mass destruction, powered by the cosmic energy I stole from Galactus himself.127Please respect copyright.PENANAsN9vMb3Hcf
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.127Please respect copyright.PENANA8aMeTteL0f
With this, I can destroy anything and anyone I desire, including you and your pathetic friends!"
Galactus, the world eater? You stole his power? Are you insane? Do you have any idea what you're messing with? Spider-Man asked, feeling a chill run down his spine.
"Of course I do. I'm not insane, I'm brilliant. And I'm about to show you how brilliant I am, by wiping out this city and everyone in it." 127Please respect copyright.PENANAx0BRlMedGx
Then I'll move on to the rest of the world, until I'm the only intelligent one left standing. And then I'll rule the universe as its supreme lord! Doom declared, raising his device again.127Please respect copyright.PENANAUDFQbemftd
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)127Please respect copyright.PENANAEaB1uERnrz
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on there, buddy! That's not how it works! You can't just kill everyone and expect to rule anything! That's not ruling, that's being a jerk!
And besides, you're not the only one with friends here. I have some too, and they're on their way!"127Please respect copyright.PENANAkVXCDz2pns
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)127Please respect copyright.PENANAkJFbbgKdnB
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 127Please respect copyright.PENANA7ch5CWod4t
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 127Please respect copyright.PENANAfsnTjOHukb
[Spider-Man dodged the beam, but it hit a nearby helicopter, causing it to crash into a building. Spider-Man gasped, feeling guilty for not being able to save the people inside. He realized he couldn't handle this alone. He needed help. He reached for his communicator, hoping it still worked.]127Please respect copyright.PENANAGgJxUpmqR7
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 127Please respect copyright.PENANAwq0R4VnL6q
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.127Please respect copyright.PENANA7V0d6RZFkV
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 127Please respect copyright.PENANAI0Jzu3Q1Hh
Dr. Doom is on top of the Empire State Building with a cosmic-powered laser cannon. He's trying to destroy the city and the world. I need backup!" Spider-Man yelled...
"Dr. Doom? Cosmic power? That sounds kinda bad. Don't worry, Spidey. We're on our way Iron Man said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAWxfxJPa3Fd
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ6tI54bmI
He looked up at Doom, who was still firing at random targets. He knew he had to keep him busy until the Avengers arrived. He webbed up hoping to disable it.127Please respect copyright.PENANAmEjiNRkYAR
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!127Please respect copyright.PENANAlwsLyTjfmZ
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.127Please respect copyright.PENANAjCtEiCMTve
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.127Please respect copyright.PENANAVQIgKw8g5d
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.127Please respect copyright.PENANAmXhK1ygNcD
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.127Please respect copyright.PENANA1zsGgod2MB
Doom: Ow! That hurt!127Please respect copyright.PENANAZK8HGDLzE2
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.127Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ9vtdgNEB
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.127Please respect copyright.PENANAcDO2tfqxQI
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.127Please respect copyright.PENANAo3soOaBere
Spider-Man smirked and prepared to deliver another blow, when he heard a loud boom from above. He looked up and saw a red and blue blur zooming towards them.127Please respect copyright.PENANAmu0y8UljrC
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.127Please respect copyright.PENANAoAnaFWM2d5
Superman landed on the roof, followed by Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Cyborg. They were the Justice League, the world's greatest heroes.127Please respect copyright.PENANAzqcEg0CAdm
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.127Please respect copyright.PENANA76J70Cs4eB
Spiderman: (agitated)127Please respect copyright.PENANApvqFbQQOn5
"I'm fine, thanks. But we have a problem here. Dr. Doom has a cosmic powered laser cannon and he's trying to destroy the world with it!
"We know. We heard your distress call. We're here to help." Superman said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAEznuFHKBII
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAyuIttBKU7h
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.127Please respect copyright.PENANAOLMtnwlLT5
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.127Please respect copyright.PENANAzaQyhtzaEP
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.127Please respect copyright.PENANAO0dcbVo82r
He fired his device at the heroes, but Superman intercepted it with his heat vision, deflecting it back at him. Doom dodged it, but it hit his mask, cracking it open. Doom gasped and covered his face with his hands.127Please respect copyright.PENANAiMzR6SHW3k
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.127Please respect copyright.PENANAnCrrWsf1p9
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.127Please respect copyright.PENANAh7ypoFrgTr
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.127Please respect copyright.PENANACwMnQ6X80H
Doom growled and lunged at Superman, trying to claw his face with his metal fingers. But Superman grabbed his wrist and twisted it, making him drop to his knees in pain.127Please respect copyright.PENANA7lbbaOQ3YZ
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.127Please respect copyright.PENANA767i2W6idf
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.127Please respect copyright.PENANA8LyISosz9U
He reached for a button on his belt, hoping to activate a self-destruct mechanism that would take them all with him. But before he could press it, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw an arrow sticking out of his heart. He looked up and saw Hawkeye standing on the edge of the roof, holding a bow and arrow.127Please respect copyright.PENANAY0FT74BcyP
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAzQgMX28fzP
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.127Please respect copyright.PENANAE7wTWKyTZN
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.127Please respect copyright.PENANA2jeCiAQpak
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.127Please respect copyright.PENANAOM5ywgV45T
Hawkeye shrugged.127Please respect copyright.PENANA4UcalxbC0h
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAZqEThNDsaO
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.127Please respect copyright.PENANAcCY5wwxZUL
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.127Please respect copyright.PENANANouV1mM07M
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.127Please respect copyright.PENANA0It1GBKYuJ
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture. You know as well as I do that some villains are beyond redemption. They're better off dead." He said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAZZB4WkJs8u
Spider-Man frowned and was about to argue with him, when he heard another loud boom from above. He looked up and saw a jet flying towards them. It was the Quinjet, the Avengers' vehicle.127Please respect copyright.PENANAsXYUgAt5SP
It landed on the roof and opened its doors, revealing Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Ant-Man, Wasp, Black Panther, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Falcon and War Machine. They were the Avengers, Earth's ultimate, badass superheroes.127Please respect copyright.PENANAuNrEP1v24n
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAcFI4RSzNSn
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.127Please respect copyright.PENANAV0fLI4NLM2
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAAn57kKMM1B
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.127Please respect copyright.PENANAEWCWWcKPfS
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAOKJkfMOpzW
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.127Please respect copyright.PENANABd9FXSI0TK
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAOX7pGqtCk8
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.127Please respect copyright.PENANA65NtecoWrj
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.127Please respect copyright.PENANAKdbx5VLPsY
Hawkeye nodded proudly.127Please respect copyright.PENANAKa59H1NTEq
"Yup. I did." He said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAWyoGgFzwI7
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.127Please respect copyright.PENANA2CzcPfoYHe
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAQavD4OeBjc
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.127Please respect copyright.PENANAlQ1a04VF7M
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAAnnIfy1TpF
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.127Please respect copyright.PENANAvW129gRPvg
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.127Please respect copyright.PENANARphlTGhbRc
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.127Please respect copyright.PENANAsgsOovIVOi
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.127Please respect copyright.PENANA7EvzkOUUSR
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.127Please respect copyright.PENANArs08oekvZR
Hawkeye: Heroes don't kill? Tell that to the people who died because of Doom. Tell that to the people who die every day because of villains like him. 127Please respect copyright.PENANAt3WEYjpx9C
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.127Please respect copyright.PENANAubZAFd4R6m
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you're not making any sense. Killing Doom won't bring back the dead. It won't stop the evil. It will only make us like them.127Please respect copyright.PENANAjUP1bGN9KA
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.127Please respect copyright.PENANADGhUOduffN
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?127Please respect copyright.PENANAoLLER0LmZN
Hawkeye: Yes, Iron Man. That's exactly what I want. And you should want it too. Because that's the only way we can win this war.127Please respect copyright.PENANATisIl6Qvq6
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.127Please respect copyright.PENANAdJEDK9Adgw
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.127Please respect copyright.PENANATrFrj8ebUN
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.127Please respect copyright.PENANAjVYMgt1MXv
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.127Please respect copyright.PENANAh9cgb60xwX
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.127Please respect copyright.PENANA6JbIdnIehx
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!127Please respect copyright.PENANAPDJNvAEpB4
Superman: He's right, guys.
This is not the time or the place for this! We have to stick together to defeat destructive villians when they pose threats to our society.127Please respect copyright.PENANAs4BxCx2Xxk
Batman grins, yeah, what Superman said...
Suddenly, a tremendous, and overpowering, roaring sound and massive explosions were heard.
The three heroes pointed at the sky, where a huge shadow was looming over them.127Please respect copyright.PENANAsGqBLetA9U
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!127Please respect copyright.PENANADThBwiwYV4
Batman: Oh, no it can't127Please respect copyright.PENANAdNCeC2BAy2
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.127Please respect copyright.PENANAVzKBoitcLc
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?127Please respect copyright.PENANAJvN5T2ErbJ
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.127Please respect copyright.PENANAccVSApZOGo
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.127Please respect copyright.PENANA3HB8Z5jtu1
Batman: Oh crap!127Please respect copyright.PENANAxhjG0W9Vbj
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.127Please respect copyright.PENANAns13UPqpWM
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!127Please respect copyright.PENANAmKDluCoi56
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.127Please respect copyright.PENANA7BALfrNeAr
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.127Please respect copyright.PENANAXZs0P2uyPE
Galactus: What is this?127Please respect copyright.PENANAdNw7lQdBag
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.127Please respect copyright.PENANA9eftkcDYL2
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!127Please respect copyright.PENANAh1BlgRasdE
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.127Please respect copyright.PENANAQetW6flE3V
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!127Please respect copyright.PENANA3M9wdjxEE1
Galactus recognized him as well.127Please respect copyright.PENANA2wUjEiiVwK
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!127Please respect copyright.PENANAj3EgRjFb6p
Doctor Strange: Yes!127Please respect copyright.PENANA0NCJzu0TRX
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?127Please respect copyright.PENANAXOUIIbSj28
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.127Please respect copyright.PENANAZNdVs6mR1D
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!127Please respect copyright.PENANAbl7wG9QKGn
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.127Please respect copyright.PENANAd71IjPoEPv
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.127Please respect copyright.PENANAR3d8ZILiHH
Doctor Strange: By the hoary hosts of Hoggoth! By the crimson bands of Cyttorak! By the flames of Faltine! By the power of Vishanti! I command you to leave this world alone!127Please respect copyright.PENANAzgr5KtmyEz
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.127Please respect copyright.PENANA62uB73YpAx
Galactus: Aargh! You insolent worm! You think you can hurt me with your puny magic? You think you can defy me with your feeble will?127Please respect copyright.PENANAPxlzCpO8Ah
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 127Please respect copyright.PENANAHhQ9fshTMK
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 127Please respect copyright.PENANAKqMNwieNOM
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.127Please respect copyright.PENANAq0r9plMjUG
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!127Please respect copyright.PENANAiJg3IPrbRk
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.127Please respect copyright.PENANA1Rt8CHB7ph
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.127Please respect copyright.PENANAsFIvW7izk5
Galactus: What is that?127Please respect copyright.PENANAAt93Fh0UZK
