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.345Please respect copyright.PENANAljXlmQIGqe
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANAWEDpA1jhYQ
"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.345Please respect copyright.PENANA13bKikhzrK
"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.345Please respect copyright.PENANAItzB9S8hwB
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.345Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZsvrjWYUN
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." 345Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZhOwfqsiZ
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANAkA4IrajlB4
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)345Please respect copyright.PENANAbt1sbOKQka
"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!"345Please respect copyright.PENANAVjvdfFQkto
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)345Please respect copyright.PENANAWVM8u7dBmU
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 345Please respect copyright.PENANAajPSqwkj23
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 345Please respect copyright.PENANAMNFCnpBDS4
[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.]345Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZQNIyHu7e
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 345Please respect copyright.PENANAwnf21GpQ6Q
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.345Please respect copyright.PENANAOpXUHQS1vX
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 345Please respect copyright.PENANAJVBoWKO1DV
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANA9IufcAjNqO
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.345Please respect copyright.PENANAxTQz6qjOpx
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANAnIO5RWghFq
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!345Please respect copyright.PENANAj4a8ltcj8K
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.345Please respect copyright.PENANArd5wAqQNOd
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.345Please respect copyright.PENANAUt37GhDevC
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.345Please respect copyright.PENANAKleCYt4hFJ
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.345Please respect copyright.PENANAgrfk7yoSMG
Doom: Ow! That hurt!345Please respect copyright.PENANAs5bjA5XId5
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.345Please respect copyright.PENANAqpGQjy24CG
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.345Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6p5sArN1l
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.345Please respect copyright.PENANApDzO0ttGG5
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANAJWDx9yZPaP
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.345Please respect copyright.PENANAexkWDW8lL2
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANAMZMLB1ftNB
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.345Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2xC8laAi9
Spiderman: (agitated)345Please respect copyright.PENANAOUmhPel8dD
"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.345Please respect copyright.PENANACsbxHqPsLi
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.345Please respect copyright.PENANAFrGAzS6dzG
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.345Please respect copyright.PENANA17QaYiyBoF
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.345Please respect copyright.PENANAUVgqaVThTs
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.345Please respect copyright.PENANAmDwIze24Wd
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANA4taQuQljaW
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.345Please respect copyright.PENANA31DhPYFgiH
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.345Please respect copyright.PENANAb6jD0XsCoW
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.345Please respect copyright.PENANAyAWCC1CESW
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANAAZGZ9k7yjg
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.345Please respect copyright.PENANA6lR4ofAdqj
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.345Please respect copyright.PENANAzQheFgeCTf
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANAilLyZhW1fl
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.345Please respect copyright.PENANAUmalM64o0d
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.345Please respect copyright.PENANAVypJOsJoPI
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.345Please respect copyright.PENANAeSrMZz4mYv
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.345Please respect copyright.PENANA2MmD5eq3Do
Hawkeye shrugged.345Please respect copyright.PENANAu0fsrUd33N
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.345Please respect copyright.PENANAvD1bYQLxnS
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.345Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ2pxWO3r4
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.345Please respect copyright.PENANArHkthq5T6B
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.345Please respect copyright.PENANAaBgy4sColT
"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.345Please respect copyright.PENANAmLQgFOfkZP
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANANmWNZfLfse
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANA8v71fEesvC
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.345Please respect copyright.PENANAhI4wwWkzQL
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.345Please respect copyright.PENANA1h7ZNG0mbJ
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.345Please respect copyright.PENANAsCvQEZzhzQ
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.345Please respect copyright.PENANAGSX6fnn3o9
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.345Please respect copyright.PENANAE6fhSzcPfl
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.345Please respect copyright.PENANAxxtMtvFOZ4
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.345Please respect copyright.PENANAtwtsarxc0y
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.345Please respect copyright.PENANARfbXbm5Q2u
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.345Please respect copyright.PENANAILwOadjqqv
Hawkeye nodded proudly.345Please respect copyright.PENANAuLrmv1NoOo
"Yup. I did." He said.345Please respect copyright.PENANAim2T8cN7c1
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.345Please respect copyright.PENANAwDvDq3pdkw
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.345Please respect copyright.PENANAytfpwR7FVo
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.345Please respect copyright.PENANAqEwfWQtPF7
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.345Please respect copyright.PENANAFU1SA9t5vg
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.345Please respect copyright.PENANAV1m8iwfqmw
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.345Please respect copyright.PENANAOxD8YwDZ4N
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.345Please respect copyright.PENANAT7XJps9jcg
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.345Please respect copyright.PENANAucOwOmk5KL
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.345Please respect copyright.PENANAqDybgZiYoS
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. 345Please respect copyright.PENANAlhysZM0c1w
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.345Please respect copyright.PENANAvVTlpeNMIM
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANAtD5L9E3VFZ
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.345Please respect copyright.PENANAty5Pnox14n
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?345Please respect copyright.PENANAwnWrhCvdyo
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANAtG0feLNAXl
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.345Please respect copyright.PENANAFiSniVnk7u
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.345Please respect copyright.PENANAJRPb9BdoEY
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.345Please respect copyright.PENANAh7WrcXszF0
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.345Please respect copyright.PENANAqHELJh7hTl
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.345Please respect copyright.PENANAbRwdYomgs9
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!345Please respect copyright.PENANAGM77fYHlCL
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANARK6LXU8z7q
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.345Please respect copyright.PENANAJHGoeeLZFW
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!345Please respect copyright.PENANAhVigb5eGh1
Batman: Oh, no it can't345Please respect copyright.PENANAfABxj8H7j1
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.345Please respect copyright.PENANA4xBmEyUGQb
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?345Please respect copyright.PENANAtwRUQ1TDbX
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.345Please respect copyright.PENANAUvjVlqq0Co
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.345Please respect copyright.PENANAr91fMsssLu
Batman: Oh crap!345Please respect copyright.PENANAkWNKNtfVTD
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.345Please respect copyright.PENANAI2IkZ6pGtI
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!345Please respect copyright.PENANA5nV6yxkcPa
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.345Please respect copyright.PENANAGIYT38rOON
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.345Please respect copyright.PENANAHz2eV5mgsL
Galactus: What is this?345Please respect copyright.PENANA3KXFMAQPKr
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.345Please respect copyright.PENANA8QxAyMRUqf
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!345Please respect copyright.PENANAHcnZ0bdzLD
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.345Please respect copyright.PENANAFMAIYxbOJf
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!345Please respect copyright.PENANANjNBonITB2
Galactus recognized him as well.345Please respect copyright.PENANA1f69Xot9Gv
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!345Please respect copyright.PENANAsSNl3qu0Js
Doctor Strange: Yes!345Please respect copyright.PENANAvxEtIDZdMi
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?345Please respect copyright.PENANAvzy2zeTUpI
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.345Please respect copyright.PENANAmJrCNZbiyS
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!345Please respect copyright.PENANAnVggPapv5z
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.345Please respect copyright.PENANAzgPV2Eo5k2
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.345Please respect copyright.PENANAS1tKZFap0W
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!345Please respect copyright.PENANANFyJAzJ0wS
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.345Please respect copyright.PENANAxFVoW1ogRb
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?345Please respect copyright.PENANADC0QBciuCb
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 345Please respect copyright.PENANAED9zGkYJDi
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 345Please respect copyright.PENANAoPEf9QIeyp
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.345Please respect copyright.PENANAb4pNmCwx5f
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!345Please respect copyright.PENANACxyL4Yq6U6
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.345Please respect copyright.PENANAGoBdIaWR6R
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.345Please respect copyright.PENANApQqpjILnNa
Galactus: What is that?345Please respect copyright.PENANAmgzt2ZBA8Y
