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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAOSuDNa2BaH
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAaE1N1omIFr
"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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAB1XviIAdkG
"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.128Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZLE3VC6wj
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.128Please respect copyright.PENANAkqSAQtbXJU
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." 128Please respect copyright.PENANA6STDf4Coe9
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAoFxYCXqosN
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)128Please respect copyright.PENANAqB0fos29oV
"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!"128Please respect copyright.PENANAjnLNZjLYsv
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)128Please respect copyright.PENANAHIMoLbpCea
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 128Please respect copyright.PENANAnOl0wo2A8w
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 128Please respect copyright.PENANAR5By8veIqd
[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.]128Please respect copyright.PENANAT4ucSOLeiU
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 128Please respect copyright.PENANAqXGTGn5C9A
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.128Please respect copyright.PENANAAB4rBggA3z
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 128Please respect copyright.PENANArAr56tClm7
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANA2uZEBl5hAJ
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.128Please respect copyright.PENANAoYAEP8TVNg
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANA2q4nFwVFMy
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!128Please respect copyright.PENANAVg5hNuqDGc
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.128Please respect copyright.PENANA3uFytFyjwH
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.128Please respect copyright.PENANAPBSLPk1f5y
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.128Please respect copyright.PENANAWDOcR4r3PO
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.128Please respect copyright.PENANAqkB3TGNrDO
Doom: Ow! That hurt!128Please respect copyright.PENANAWYtQTavyRq
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.128Please respect copyright.PENANAV9d4kOx0Qi
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.128Please respect copyright.PENANAu5z2AqRPUm
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.128Please respect copyright.PENANAtiidmey4gf
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANA8REAXLDntL
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.128Please respect copyright.PENANA8en8kTfwSN
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAL5KxSYDjE7
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.128Please respect copyright.PENANAaX6QV4fcvW
Spiderman: (agitated)128Please respect copyright.PENANAyARU3y5SJU
"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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAtQMa4xEVuB
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.128Please respect copyright.PENANAYg2Ykn9hun
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.128Please respect copyright.PENANAYbX1hcl5S0
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.128Please respect copyright.PENANAQleFqM8Yip
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.128Please respect copyright.PENANAtsdIxX5GWR
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAQhPOyB2ImJ
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.128Please respect copyright.PENANA37bM39OSsn
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.128Please respect copyright.PENANA5h0jkwTqiE
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.128Please respect copyright.PENANAReGUq4vreb
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAOvflY4vFIw
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.128Please respect copyright.PENANArNjWyQ2Vqb
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.128Please respect copyright.PENANAcNkavASkGr
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAYD5G5qhUMZ
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.128Please respect copyright.PENANAdCnw5kWkOq
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.128Please respect copyright.PENANAFYSTIFREov
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.128Please respect copyright.PENANAPA1x7qtMoU
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.128Please respect copyright.PENANALgM9vUz21n
Hawkeye shrugged.128Please respect copyright.PENANAitUMcw7c0X
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.128Please respect copyright.PENANATsWAsRtsDO
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.128Please respect copyright.PENANAhcvwtXZhw0
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.128Please respect copyright.PENANAkz0PbF6wZy
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.128Please respect copyright.PENANA0nPY5PomVt
"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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAlzIyEHkvjX
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAoxDEaQQ5KU
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANATNahNcb1Vg
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.128Please respect copyright.PENANACBZBsnXbuT
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.128Please respect copyright.PENANAXVICz1DqrH
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.128Please respect copyright.PENANABsniZsicuE
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.128Please respect copyright.PENANAVYo5HZDSFn
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.128Please respect copyright.PENANAmUhySSu4C1
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.128Please respect copyright.PENANAja3nugbKv8
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.128Please respect copyright.PENANAoQJIiTNNRZ
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.128Please respect copyright.PENANAyefFgPESba
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.128Please respect copyright.PENANAW1ATba855j
Hawkeye nodded proudly.128Please respect copyright.PENANA8poFY6FLcS
"Yup. I did." He said.128Please respect copyright.PENANA1Wn3Wfp6Hb
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.128Please respect copyright.PENANAOMVNUl2sSM
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.128Please respect copyright.PENANAwJNW9KKpb4
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.128Please respect copyright.PENANAEQijO8Bjm1
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.128Please respect copyright.PENANA08Gtcihi4c
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.128Please respect copyright.PENANA9S6Lzp3HtU
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.128Please respect copyright.PENANAcQGiosuS0K
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.128Please respect copyright.PENANAHWbrRNT4Oq
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.128Please respect copyright.PENANAG9M5aVJ4T3
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.128Please respect copyright.PENANAOM1UfZjtXo
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAuYYIGMsNVW
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.128Please respect copyright.PENANAF0FPSWKisv
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAyxil8f4khq
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.128Please respect copyright.PENANAFhG16Dob6g
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?128Please respect copyright.PENANAePQ0QfSi6G
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAzhs7yvyqVi
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.128Please respect copyright.PENANACTMm5ACwwt
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.128Please respect copyright.PENANAitzPDzGDqk
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.128Please respect copyright.PENANA0YUP8IlnVP
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.128Please respect copyright.PENANAOx4gSXNVGm
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.128Please respect copyright.PENANAPFTQhPHR2B
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!128Please respect copyright.PENANAsAUWGfZU7t
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAFCKIrGqIl7
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAOkObY2R2lI
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!128Please respect copyright.PENANAGJnqqTeL51
Batman: Oh, no it can't128Please respect copyright.PENANAv2ERa8ai1L
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.128Please respect copyright.PENANAB15Tk73G2w
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?128Please respect copyright.PENANAGSZA3Q5K5e
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.128Please respect copyright.PENANAyJqvrqsJiL
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.128Please respect copyright.PENANAQqTQm73AJH
Batman: Oh crap!128Please respect copyright.PENANA1U66dG9jLs
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.128Please respect copyright.PENANAUwD3aWVqBZ
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!128Please respect copyright.PENANABEopNJzO8V
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.128Please respect copyright.PENANANhfHtoxaIS
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.128Please respect copyright.PENANA11o3FxGij6
Galactus: What is this?128Please respect copyright.PENANAFmiCihuILX
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.128Please respect copyright.PENANAQQa25WxVyb
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!128Please respect copyright.PENANA8u6WvaKfDZ
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.128Please respect copyright.PENANACJWGtWrxjK
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!128Please respect copyright.PENANAsWuOauJjap
Galactus recognized him as well.128Please respect copyright.PENANAxaNpP8mX9I
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!128Please respect copyright.PENANAYiwJaYx5Gv
Doctor Strange: Yes!128Please respect copyright.PENANAXAIZ2QhbIo
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?128Please respect copyright.PENANAxJhApDJult
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.128Please respect copyright.PENANAKpYlwoiLPf
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!128Please respect copyright.PENANADLNqElk3QN
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.128Please respect copyright.PENANAxdpg7v4PEH
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.128Please respect copyright.PENANAJWe5FpDsbd
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!128Please respect copyright.PENANAJkOgJIae2z
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.128Please respect copyright.PENANAfQmambBNKq
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?128Please respect copyright.PENANAkEKc1nCE5C
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA24VQdewxG7
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 128Please respect copyright.PENANAPdKICAtfS2
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.128Please respect copyright.PENANAtWT2X7WyNF
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!128Please respect copyright.PENANAV9LTidvSTR
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.128Please respect copyright.PENANA5vI2b0uvpV
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.128Please respect copyright.PENANA2tAKZ0flpa
Galactus: What is that?128Please respect copyright.PENANAynICQHDSSy
