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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAKzypggLdic
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANArqHHcfkWcN
"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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAj39lTKYADB
"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.338Please respect copyright.PENANA6079O1SnRh
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.338Please respect copyright.PENANAvkhGz3Ker4
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." 338Please respect copyright.PENANAOxXGNjvoiL
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANALJFZk91HJQ
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)338Please respect copyright.PENANARaVUj4PxXA
"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!"338Please respect copyright.PENANArRO6gJ2mi5
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)338Please respect copyright.PENANAYIRbubD3aH
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 338Please respect copyright.PENANArP1FZT1LLT
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 338Please respect copyright.PENANANmPxg0Kvyt
[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.]338Please respect copyright.PENANAGRNxGD2j27
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 338Please respect copyright.PENANApLdoBN3cHO
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.338Please respect copyright.PENANAvhOmxOgdfC
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 338Please respect copyright.PENANAcxMfAjEJuY
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAOdmYEcPf9d
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.338Please respect copyright.PENANAvxrvwzkW7m
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANASEQy8OID6K
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!338Please respect copyright.PENANA3YkTUxdm7E
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.338Please respect copyright.PENANAOxmi6pcMmw
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.338Please respect copyright.PENANA6ICrwtBc5b
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.338Please respect copyright.PENANAzK9Ae44oQV
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.338Please respect copyright.PENANApBBMhRDK5z
Doom: Ow! That hurt!338Please respect copyright.PENANAifqS0VhEMx
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.338Please respect copyright.PENANAUt9rUYIbCw
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.338Please respect copyright.PENANAbLwjiJjwmB
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.338Please respect copyright.PENANAi7wJ2HJPZZ
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAIe09WOmh5x
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.338Please respect copyright.PENANA0ViDu08G4w
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAC4BNjQxjDT
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.338Please respect copyright.PENANA6eCzSXA00N
Spiderman: (agitated)338Please respect copyright.PENANA0WtizWa2nh
"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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAc7lSejga6h
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.338Please respect copyright.PENANAi0hpwOBeiZ
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.338Please respect copyright.PENANA7TdfPaRD4M
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.338Please respect copyright.PENANAT964gjnHjo
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.338Please respect copyright.PENANAi5I0rLjXpG
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAcRcnjWfSoX
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.338Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ryqaqprve
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.338Please respect copyright.PENANAby5OutdWdC
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.338Please respect copyright.PENANAfTD7wOrXkr
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAN5xtbFQQKA
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.338Please respect copyright.PENANA02mND51mYs
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.338Please respect copyright.PENANASXwM1vmyLf
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANA9zuvA7e0pA
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.338Please respect copyright.PENANAzJLLihz8dn
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.338Please respect copyright.PENANAjHFyob4ynO
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.338Please respect copyright.PENANASnnMgfKWqz
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.338Please respect copyright.PENANAnrhYyKsWnE
Hawkeye shrugged.338Please respect copyright.PENANAFql46xANin
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.338Please respect copyright.PENANApQ0xbdZBka
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.338Please respect copyright.PENANADWwwhFbU1p
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.338Please respect copyright.PENANAjNNRyRR7M7
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.338Please respect copyright.PENANATQz5mOK4Fr
"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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAPTiXuxd6fH
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAkJsfoWu53f
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAGINsmIHYLT
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.338Please respect copyright.PENANAcZQEHkObTN
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.338Please respect copyright.PENANAZSkH1eRUGY
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.338Please respect copyright.PENANANbXbZPFpiO
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.338Please respect copyright.PENANAtzJJj6pblu
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.338Please respect copyright.PENANAPpa0TYyF5C
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.338Please respect copyright.PENANAYWB7CkZSBJ
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.338Please respect copyright.PENANA5JUyuUPuiJ
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.338Please respect copyright.PENANAvixRU0WeCV
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.338Please respect copyright.PENANAjzlFY4P796
Hawkeye nodded proudly.338Please respect copyright.PENANAYbC4MjCIkl
"Yup. I did." He said.338Please respect copyright.PENANAxlGmj96j7z
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.338Please respect copyright.PENANAKW1F8yLT3h
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.338Please respect copyright.PENANAyyIGN2C4In
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.338Please respect copyright.PENANAftrUHAMF3k
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.338Please respect copyright.PENANAMlK6401yzi
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.338Please respect copyright.PENANAjrAV5o7xl6
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.338Please respect copyright.PENANAzKUbPasUoG
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.338Please respect copyright.PENANAvdzkLEtTw2
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.338Please respect copyright.PENANATgve6IoYfi
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.338Please respect copyright.PENANAtxlTfnXO4H
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. 338Please respect copyright.PENANAmvopH3jh3t
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.338Please respect copyright.PENANAjGXI9wCj0C
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAcfCxb9xI7u
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.338Please respect copyright.PENANAYObGePmTY2
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?338Please respect copyright.PENANAo61JbrBBXn
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ9KHdiWKJ
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.338Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZFk2YymIE
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.338Please respect copyright.PENANAw5U5qn1oTe
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.338Please respect copyright.PENANA5uVPosJ6x6
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.338Please respect copyright.PENANAdYsyAWOdbh
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.338Please respect copyright.PENANAIFNWkWgUcf
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!338Please respect copyright.PENANAqC35CK3rrN
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAloTKb7acQ4
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.338Please respect copyright.PENANAUmVegL1aTU
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!338Please respect copyright.PENANADtIcZuhtvw
Batman: Oh, no it can't338Please respect copyright.PENANAEfer6Lj2MK
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.338Please respect copyright.PENANA8Rag4iTxr2
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?338Please respect copyright.PENANAdU1Hdf4hnC
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.338Please respect copyright.PENANAAhP6ylnCFc
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.338Please respect copyright.PENANAFVUWPCsHhv
Batman: Oh crap!338Please respect copyright.PENANAntePPCMgDL
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.338Please respect copyright.PENANA46OVhWDZgg
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!338Please respect copyright.PENANAHLSXhkeJ7B
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.338Please respect copyright.PENANAFu8AYbOFVH
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.338Please respect copyright.PENANAECwHRc65pL
Galactus: What is this?338Please respect copyright.PENANAWgbq2bzUDc
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.338Please respect copyright.PENANAOZvamJxy2x
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!338Please respect copyright.PENANArVw9Qa6PuY
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.338Please respect copyright.PENANArz5KJD43kE
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!338Please respect copyright.PENANAayb9JTC812
Galactus recognized him as well.338Please respect copyright.PENANAZoeBIyjt4t
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!338Please respect copyright.PENANASwxCIf3CfC
Doctor Strange: Yes!338Please respect copyright.PENANAAIm8HapPkF
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?338Please respect copyright.PENANAss3dx9d5eO
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.338Please respect copyright.PENANApcvmEJCCv1
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!338Please respect copyright.PENANA4TWuz3s8Ou
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.338Please respect copyright.PENANALhq3YdEaPs
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.338Please respect copyright.PENANAEEKeJHZqNj
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!338Please respect copyright.PENANAZaG4tKP7F9
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.338Please respect copyright.PENANAUG8OSOOsOd
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?338Please respect copyright.PENANAjTOl6PLP02
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 338Please respect copyright.PENANAGx6xiJeTtU
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 338Please respect copyright.PENANATQ0NCyyWze
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.338Please respect copyright.PENANAAcSlrof7Kf
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!338Please respect copyright.PENANA51b2epLAN2
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.338Please respect copyright.PENANAsQet4P15dg
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.338Please respect copyright.PENANA5jLtbXEEXN
Galactus: What is that?338Please respect copyright.PENANAxQAyB0eHX3
