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.422Please respect copyright.PENANAt0tpU76CTa
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANA8GgKh6kySz
"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.422Please respect copyright.PENANAUPCkkGaD9R
"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.422Please respect copyright.PENANAJuD1VUMC01
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.422Please respect copyright.PENANAKPqffG44JX
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." 422Please respect copyright.PENANAxbk58ch3n0
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANAlOacqbP5xp
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)422Please respect copyright.PENANACZzrh758Rd
"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!"422Please respect copyright.PENANAzgmu3lFiCN
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)422Please respect copyright.PENANAF6J5nxM6cv
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 422Please respect copyright.PENANAmDlNQ0qMqF
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 422Please respect copyright.PENANA2RzWrs1wsL
[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.]422Please respect copyright.PENANAlogSdx0H6J
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 422Please respect copyright.PENANAMVVKkaYHlg
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.422Please respect copyright.PENANAVnOglVPk4e
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 422Please respect copyright.PENANA0O4n15zvNn
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANABwzQlzi3c1
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.422Please respect copyright.PENANA9WIpVKMI7I
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANAGcft6Bvgqg
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!422Please respect copyright.PENANAh0WLXemJzE
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.422Please respect copyright.PENANAiLK3UCO0eh
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.422Please respect copyright.PENANAdb3LroFaIv
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.422Please respect copyright.PENANAqOBBKuk57V
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.422Please respect copyright.PENANAQlffcwqD2w
Doom: Ow! That hurt!422Please respect copyright.PENANADyj1qnFqkh
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.422Please respect copyright.PENANAdGt1jT6bcE
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.422Please respect copyright.PENANAIHb9Sjj3wa
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.422Please respect copyright.PENANAv84kkeiA4h
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANA02Fb50QbNn
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.422Please respect copyright.PENANAKT2F86nYvH
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANAMxIyPSUL6w
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.422Please respect copyright.PENANAFRrjFNIxVx
Spiderman: (agitated)422Please respect copyright.PENANAj06GFoSA6F
"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.422Please respect copyright.PENANAhmxbfjE4VK
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.422Please respect copyright.PENANA9WPO6jLOcs
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.422Please respect copyright.PENANAlSuxi7FWTJ
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.422Please respect copyright.PENANAVMsy5218LB
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.422Please respect copyright.PENANAnXjforthYE
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANANs9eWmV1gV
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.422Please respect copyright.PENANAuvvVrCVf5r
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.422Please respect copyright.PENANAcJAAKYhnHd
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.422Please respect copyright.PENANApaW5FkK5La
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANALZykZaLIfJ
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.422Please respect copyright.PENANA50FF9aWcij
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.422Please respect copyright.PENANA4e3fkv55ju
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANAZucka9hTB5
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.422Please respect copyright.PENANAqLHWIx40zL
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.422Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z9d27EK5Y
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.422Please respect copyright.PENANAVEEk16BTN6
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.422Please respect copyright.PENANAUNXbuNO2ew
Hawkeye shrugged.422Please respect copyright.PENANAmzzKNpIGdX
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.422Please respect copyright.PENANAIA8EQQosG9
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.422Please respect copyright.PENANAmmbzhWnrQI
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.422Please respect copyright.PENANA7Mgpecn6S7
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.422Please respect copyright.PENANADhzqFpz8I1
"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.422Please respect copyright.PENANAKqOK5rDM2I
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANANOUVLc2697
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANAyni97IkOYw
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.422Please respect copyright.PENANAxbpGTOzfMs
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.422Please respect copyright.PENANAoj8sAYnvjK
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.422Please respect copyright.PENANAFImTa9iFyo
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.422Please respect copyright.PENANAVHUWE1Nt7a
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.422Please respect copyright.PENANASFxJqQnj1f
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.422Please respect copyright.PENANAkfDVMcR4zu
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.422Please respect copyright.PENANAXAAaJpOaIL
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.422Please respect copyright.PENANATdRQzmaF4U
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.422Please respect copyright.PENANAK8uITkRDTB
Hawkeye nodded proudly.422Please respect copyright.PENANALvcZ55WkEv
"Yup. I did." He said.422Please respect copyright.PENANAc8DU4FUJAt
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.422Please respect copyright.PENANAxzRNqd8xY6
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.422Please respect copyright.PENANAWt0s7T3zFS
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.422Please respect copyright.PENANASPmmfoNamK
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.422Please respect copyright.PENANA4WBf7ZwRRB
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.422Please respect copyright.PENANAr3kVnsVNPs
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.422Please respect copyright.PENANAcpPIhKF5Dl
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.422Please respect copyright.PENANARfhI0MNf8o
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.422Please respect copyright.PENANAL9XRYMoXRI
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.422Please respect copyright.PENANAyHvCG9qJ4B
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. 422Please respect copyright.PENANAq0aATYCQih
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.422Please respect copyright.PENANAFIIp6XpVFz
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANA6zsyCtdBmd
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.422Please respect copyright.PENANAKVMyl6c1rZ
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?422Please respect copyright.PENANAA0v6kf54rw
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANArdoQjqNLoS
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.422Please respect copyright.PENANALbtiRmcj7J
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.422Please respect copyright.PENANAX4sYCw63o7
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.422Please respect copyright.PENANAtdB3dwK04a
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.422Please respect copyright.PENANAVvE2bLYP00
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.422Please respect copyright.PENANAFM2ldjrd64
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!422Please respect copyright.PENANAKQxStkqkRc
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANAmb5sqZWrxG
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.422Please respect copyright.PENANAUcgovJctsU
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!422Please respect copyright.PENANAkEDRzQVWA0
Batman: Oh, no it can't422Please respect copyright.PENANAKQwR1HgxK1
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.422Please respect copyright.PENANA9i3GqrTYmO
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?422Please respect copyright.PENANAEpOn7gCMov
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.422Please respect copyright.PENANAC9J7EnYuUm
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.422Please respect copyright.PENANA6SNQ3eF4Fi
Batman: Oh crap!422Please respect copyright.PENANAcWrI6lA1r3
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.422Please respect copyright.PENANAlHYuRydO2u
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!422Please respect copyright.PENANA3y5PfrWxss
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.422Please respect copyright.PENANAEB8PXgEHcT
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.422Please respect copyright.PENANAxjR3k1B7LO
Galactus: What is this?422Please respect copyright.PENANAOBr4HuXPY8
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.422Please respect copyright.PENANAcqFNvbiT2H
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!422Please respect copyright.PENANA2172XlJTAB
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.422Please respect copyright.PENANAN8jJ3iyULJ
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!422Please respect copyright.PENANAzvrYJaevg6
Galactus recognized him as well.422Please respect copyright.PENANAqGqJaVmc2m
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!422Please respect copyright.PENANARNexUx1369
Doctor Strange: Yes!422Please respect copyright.PENANATn5E0ns261
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?422Please respect copyright.PENANA5KC4IdE98Q
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.422Please respect copyright.PENANA2wG8jFuyxz
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!422Please respect copyright.PENANA6RG8eXT9bj
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.422Please respect copyright.PENANAjKwaq7NXyw
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.422Please respect copyright.PENANAELCCDFcHOz
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!422Please respect copyright.PENANA11zTc3DEbd
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.422Please respect copyright.PENANAeNImnAY6SO
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?422Please respect copyright.PENANAOtRT70nWuB
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 422Please respect copyright.PENANAKvd50tBYbr
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 422Please respect copyright.PENANAuRJ4xuo82h
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.422Please respect copyright.PENANATY8SoyZCqu
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!422Please respect copyright.PENANAN87LaXU6gj
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.422Please respect copyright.PENANAz4Pjk5LZPP
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.422Please respect copyright.PENANANFaVBa0Y8b
Galactus: What is that?422Please respect copyright.PENANAY5k6zCjjlB
