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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAssrTbdAbqQ
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANALAS30bKihz
"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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAgMDbLOYxYj
"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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAa4BC3AfQdY
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.393Please respect copyright.PENANAAwNlCuPFSB
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." 393Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9QAKDzZAN
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANA0flUuXRlgc
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)393Please respect copyright.PENANAU42ocJvSBw
"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!"393Please respect copyright.PENANAOCGBYzmomI
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)393Please respect copyright.PENANA2iQEukDpFN
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 393Please respect copyright.PENANAkKQsctQI1d
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 393Please respect copyright.PENANAzb6COvMMmD
[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.]393Please respect copyright.PENANAle7wOMDyn0
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 393Please respect copyright.PENANAeDjxFTngOK
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.393Please respect copyright.PENANAm0TG7GlOtS
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAN1XdpUtDFx
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAGdiFU7HRrk
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.393Please respect copyright.PENANAU0sc4YGX14
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAC0OCw3L9Qk
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!393Please respect copyright.PENANAiiHmsP0Eu9
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.393Please respect copyright.PENANAwxadlsmFmo
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.393Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4hiKuPdsZ
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.393Please respect copyright.PENANAoH9WwU92fe
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.393Please respect copyright.PENANA76OMn1tKe8
Doom: Ow! That hurt!393Please respect copyright.PENANAr7df1b5S16
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.393Please respect copyright.PENANAk0r6zfIXvZ
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.393Please respect copyright.PENANA7fjwkhP7E0
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.393Please respect copyright.PENANA82Szml12kG
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANA89Re0OL2WL
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.393Please respect copyright.PENANAtSGtSbB034
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANABIlniftMv3
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.393Please respect copyright.PENANAeAryyoObmd
Spiderman: (agitated)393Please respect copyright.PENANANt9xE1NOW3
"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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAL0FAmIVbAF
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.393Please respect copyright.PENANA3g1MZ1U2Mu
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.393Please respect copyright.PENANARVpVRHbvDH
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.393Please respect copyright.PENANA68A6bTIqxm
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.393Please respect copyright.PENANAC2eRMN5aFF
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAHKeyDbhMp8
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.393Please respect copyright.PENANAYRsbDTccGB
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.393Please respect copyright.PENANA4CSORiTLtv
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.393Please respect copyright.PENANAL8XcyfuNhp
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAfazA25tm0l
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.393Please respect copyright.PENANAp9Zy0unSWb
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.393Please respect copyright.PENANAEMehKRDYAP
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANASxHSBdbGZu
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.393Please respect copyright.PENANAlc4uw6Dmqc
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.393Please respect copyright.PENANAtUNyqtZfdx
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.393Please respect copyright.PENANACvV5vumWBT
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.393Please respect copyright.PENANArzwzqWe1E3
Hawkeye shrugged.393Please respect copyright.PENANAlcpfQEbemc
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.393Please respect copyright.PENANAmmeG7MdZTU
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.393Please respect copyright.PENANAgyMeYLejXe
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.393Please respect copyright.PENANAQHhcOFfzso
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.393Please respect copyright.PENANAG2UKx33oHe
"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.393Please respect copyright.PENANA5TctwKkp5r
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAH78FE9kREL
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAWXNX1LhKAA
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.393Please respect copyright.PENANAYlkL3nb78x
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.393Please respect copyright.PENANASO0y0s24eu
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.393Please respect copyright.PENANAqeWbiTFSjw
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.393Please respect copyright.PENANAbzCPGSeawV
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.393Please respect copyright.PENANACpKk11oL5z
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.393Please respect copyright.PENANAkxUZDpW7Ka
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.393Please respect copyright.PENANAS4Nb2UZ7hc
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.393Please respect copyright.PENANAoYHxG4LErt
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.393Please respect copyright.PENANACWIOBRhJv4
Hawkeye nodded proudly.393Please respect copyright.PENANAd6CGnTzJWm
"Yup. I did." He said.393Please respect copyright.PENANAznXu8N3cas
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.393Please respect copyright.PENANAT9gv4ET3Yi
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.393Please respect copyright.PENANAXkbrnxFpk5
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.393Please respect copyright.PENANAfhbg8gB2Qy
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.393Please respect copyright.PENANA0zJYyDkvn6
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.393Please respect copyright.PENANAbTOrWmNpyC
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.393Please respect copyright.PENANAMb63tBNs08
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.393Please respect copyright.PENANAOm0Q83DxSY
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.393Please respect copyright.PENANAfOthvCgI7A
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.393Please respect copyright.PENANA0pazXA4q1j
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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ot5ejKCrP
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.393Please respect copyright.PENANAMOe7fIT7kD
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANASdSUPGiKNP
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.393Please respect copyright.PENANAX2eNArqKEz
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?393Please respect copyright.PENANAvy4EI0Imxw
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAcTgyUFjZsZ
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.393Please respect copyright.PENANAxhoEsDsIGa
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.393Please respect copyright.PENANAmNX207JPVf
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.393Please respect copyright.PENANAOe6I8hUroH
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.393Please respect copyright.PENANAtGbXq2WX3w
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.393Please respect copyright.PENANAA1eVomeUdy
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!393Please respect copyright.PENANAgIdCkiujcH
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAkYbBGmLaYe
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAfZXlfQAu87
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!393Please respect copyright.PENANApokjdKgiDV
Batman: Oh, no it can't393Please respect copyright.PENANADvSCnrPYlL
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.393Please respect copyright.PENANA7ui7lor60c
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?393Please respect copyright.PENANAAywYtsi9c4
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.393Please respect copyright.PENANAmRxckUqd62
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.393Please respect copyright.PENANAgHhcgvGMrA
Batman: Oh crap!393Please respect copyright.PENANAU0LaVzPV6K
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.393Please respect copyright.PENANAWQp1wE1QBC
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!393Please respect copyright.PENANAbYrw54jBkl
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.393Please respect copyright.PENANA0BZmZhwN2e
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.393Please respect copyright.PENANAhtEaKVaRIR
Galactus: What is this?393Please respect copyright.PENANAQtlsPtEjyM
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.393Please respect copyright.PENANAeIJXp50smS
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!393Please respect copyright.PENANAX29L8q5Rb8
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.393Please respect copyright.PENANAXE0yaUQfs7
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!393Please respect copyright.PENANAYbEB4Z1vsc
Galactus recognized him as well.393Please respect copyright.PENANADcKDgB7h0a
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!393Please respect copyright.PENANAEL5XQdXpUX
Doctor Strange: Yes!393Please respect copyright.PENANAOM3y2yRERn
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?393Please respect copyright.PENANACd9C5RoEgD
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.393Please respect copyright.PENANAEIVghNrWHK
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!393Please respect copyright.PENANAGbSMtwmUXG
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.393Please respect copyright.PENANA6XHm2wTLZY
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.393Please respect copyright.PENANAoUgV079Cyw
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!393Please respect copyright.PENANAt6nDy86S7o
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.393Please respect copyright.PENANAmAkD1P7DT5
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?393Please respect copyright.PENANA33x41On9lT
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAuWMLlUcsJ2
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 393Please respect copyright.PENANAHTZZuty1S7
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.393Please respect copyright.PENANAh6pkc9GnX7
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!393Please respect copyright.PENANAMQzVfLU53t
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.393Please respect copyright.PENANAu83Lewg3uK
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.393Please respect copyright.PENANAh3wn19vBfP
Galactus: What is that?393Please respect copyright.PENANAEXuBYb2xYV
