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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAPzuB7YWmok
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAOjSynQfJL3
"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.354Please respect copyright.PENANA1RtVBWx84x
"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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAWNWVXzYndq
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.354Please respect copyright.PENANA6lzVYUKPxL
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." 354Please respect copyright.PENANAmgqEH1XW3Q
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANARNWmLmpjpq
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)354Please respect copyright.PENANAvcaUuVeOHW
"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!"354Please respect copyright.PENANAQmnzqVe2tE
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)354Please respect copyright.PENANAnqxRqx7xi9
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 354Please respect copyright.PENANAcfz114RfT9
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 354Please respect copyright.PENANAQsE6CFF1e3
[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.]354Please respect copyright.PENANA2uQhUOzpMk
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 354Please respect copyright.PENANAZUbn2S8SWu
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.354Please respect copyright.PENANAzybKVQAPOL
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 354Please respect copyright.PENANAXiHDrqiSvU
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAsU581CA2yo
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.354Please respect copyright.PENANAsaZWXDTkId
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANA9upKZrB0PK
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!354Please respect copyright.PENANARNFXKD4ZHp
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.354Please respect copyright.PENANA6KWgiH1Dci
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.354Please respect copyright.PENANAB2PRkMjFtQ
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.354Please respect copyright.PENANAH1Wlm4VjOo
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.354Please respect copyright.PENANAjv4wzErw6y
Doom: Ow! That hurt!354Please respect copyright.PENANAbJyKttGGtf
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.354Please respect copyright.PENANAc9nXMf4mYI
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.354Please respect copyright.PENANA9jpcSEeW84
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.354Please respect copyright.PENANAgi4YX0C5ZA
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAOckB1k45lq
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.354Please respect copyright.PENANA0GlaqMv5y1
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANATjKxPK1T12
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.354Please respect copyright.PENANAtgkcFCoAWq
Spiderman: (agitated)354Please respect copyright.PENANAwHid1LFWF6
"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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAjUDqVSi8sC
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.354Please respect copyright.PENANAbyhGOUAYrT
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.354Please respect copyright.PENANA86M7uKEU5z
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.354Please respect copyright.PENANAIOGSZ5glhw
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.354Please respect copyright.PENANAgGX4POBkI2
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAFqqdWK9yfx
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.354Please respect copyright.PENANAN2cLvhcKX9
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.354Please respect copyright.PENANAcM5qIE4dEa
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.354Please respect copyright.PENANAdOFhp9aM2y
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAn2at6IFa3j
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.354Please respect copyright.PENANA6fvh6Db5lb
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.354Please respect copyright.PENANAkleAHmhs2V
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANALpVeZOKv2o
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.354Please respect copyright.PENANAih2ytnwbQF
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.354Please respect copyright.PENANAi61RbVtM30
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.354Please respect copyright.PENANAGZZaQRiiG6
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.354Please respect copyright.PENANAbwSo6wwvta
Hawkeye shrugged.354Please respect copyright.PENANAEglBDzx9pM
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.354Please respect copyright.PENANAJiGozWERed
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.354Please respect copyright.PENANAYCHXKer8M9
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.354Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ8u5Vc1Gi
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.354Please respect copyright.PENANATwDlTQTce9
"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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAfqimNBadXP
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANA371szfQhLf
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAa9Wb3eR1Ii
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.354Please respect copyright.PENANARjyRDILtkj
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.354Please respect copyright.PENANAkuASmxH1JP
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.354Please respect copyright.PENANA7iCuXhR4q8
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.354Please respect copyright.PENANAHk2f4HCcHV
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.354Please respect copyright.PENANA5hvLv32SeL
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.354Please respect copyright.PENANAwYBHRUXQaE
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.354Please respect copyright.PENANApF0boER0Gf
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.354Please respect copyright.PENANADoSk1dCTJA
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.354Please respect copyright.PENANAfUGmxhRoi0
Hawkeye nodded proudly.354Please respect copyright.PENANAq2oS3bjtPw
"Yup. I did." He said.354Please respect copyright.PENANAsjOHG6DZaf
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.354Please respect copyright.PENANAsO7gJGJIs3
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.354Please respect copyright.PENANAcPyzyS37DV
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.354Please respect copyright.PENANAwKLqPfcVhD
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.354Please respect copyright.PENANA17WYFVBifA
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.354Please respect copyright.PENANAZHsV1gHPaC
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.354Please respect copyright.PENANAzb31JUqq0M
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.354Please respect copyright.PENANAoi1sAfkbe6
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.354Please respect copyright.PENANAmHmXsRa41Q
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.354Please respect copyright.PENANAPtxdfyyqXH
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. 354Please respect copyright.PENANAB2qCvI8bzP
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.354Please respect copyright.PENANA8ibXKkvvCC
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAmmSjNDPV4z
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.354Please respect copyright.PENANAsgX8OPZORu
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?354Please respect copyright.PENANAppS0UkqvIw
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAfLQA0c8mo5
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.354Please respect copyright.PENANA4O2pv4GMjR
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.354Please respect copyright.PENANAVrx9IxXdCA
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.354Please respect copyright.PENANAAyFj55RBjk
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.354Please respect copyright.PENANAzW2wIQH8NS
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.354Please respect copyright.PENANAKjqW6ycOKX
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!354Please respect copyright.PENANANdVob77nkB
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANA9f10XCY5Zo
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAXUIHEyznsM
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!354Please respect copyright.PENANAwzGn1Msx1U
Batman: Oh, no it can't354Please respect copyright.PENANA5shCORurZc
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.354Please respect copyright.PENANAGwJB2uGaeM
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?354Please respect copyright.PENANAQkUNAM8NOn
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.354Please respect copyright.PENANArq0GqrXItX
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.354Please respect copyright.PENANA6IrdfZtroz
Batman: Oh crap!354Please respect copyright.PENANAqCbERGpHgY
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.354Please respect copyright.PENANAd2pr0p9TNV
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!354Please respect copyright.PENANA36xNkzfibu
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.354Please respect copyright.PENANAU9I0m4dFzc
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.354Please respect copyright.PENANAHYKmXWAE5d
Galactus: What is this?354Please respect copyright.PENANAf6IJncXRB2
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.354Please respect copyright.PENANAJKVgTd1dVp
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!354Please respect copyright.PENANACLrOOacBIa
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.354Please respect copyright.PENANAS8ouZVSDc5
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!354Please respect copyright.PENANAmOzWOP5piZ
Galactus recognized him as well.354Please respect copyright.PENANAIQu8IFRwWH
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!354Please respect copyright.PENANAKkhHAlDh6r
Doctor Strange: Yes!354Please respect copyright.PENANACs1GtCwGDd
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?354Please respect copyright.PENANAac3OBzs5Dm
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.354Please respect copyright.PENANAhT1qDBdPYe
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!354Please respect copyright.PENANAhPxNc4eHBh
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.354Please respect copyright.PENANAnDwGiOV5Os
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.354Please respect copyright.PENANACxh6e2GJU5
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!354Please respect copyright.PENANArEUCFC6rp2
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.354Please respect copyright.PENANAgDPTeE7tFd
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?354Please respect copyright.PENANAWGXMrK67fe
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 354Please respect copyright.PENANAGgtFpZcysL
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 354Please respect copyright.PENANAJAN7GrwJv0
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.354Please respect copyright.PENANAoNwo6TLPBJ
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!354Please respect copyright.PENANAIe7kTULEA3
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.354Please respect copyright.PENANAMwEZOTjhwx
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.354Please respect copyright.PENANAvP0qnboX2f
Galactus: What is that?354Please respect copyright.PENANATgWSJXtW7d
