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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAhcec77PamE
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAlNlE39f6s1
"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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAf1w6wW5uuW
"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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAAp85Zp7Imd
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.349Please respect copyright.PENANAwFJzXT7Kyb
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." 349Please respect copyright.PENANAU1Of4Or0oX
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANA33hrU5brJx
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)349Please respect copyright.PENANA26apSwKE6q
"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!"349Please respect copyright.PENANAkISF5RPHti
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)349Please respect copyright.PENANAIA3G5xzKDa
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 349Please respect copyright.PENANAhbYTPp706y
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 349Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8fp7zABn2
[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.]349Please respect copyright.PENANA7zZI225NBV
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 349Please respect copyright.PENANANcU161zWlf
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.349Please respect copyright.PENANAkv5c7EF7N8
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 349Please respect copyright.PENANA5KK7bD7Pnb
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANACuWu0gPqUX
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.349Please respect copyright.PENANAyKtfBwet1O
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAG9bkFOMNvU
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!349Please respect copyright.PENANAoLOiTzOUJY
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.349Please respect copyright.PENANAesrN20WRho
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.349Please respect copyright.PENANAPd66QO4jJo
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.349Please respect copyright.PENANACCIGpWRIX6
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.349Please respect copyright.PENANA5l6ytyUnhl
Doom: Ow! That hurt!349Please respect copyright.PENANAL7YWb60cPW
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.349Please respect copyright.PENANAJHnkCBHuQw
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.349Please respect copyright.PENANAqYsem9mbqG
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.349Please respect copyright.PENANAVtkaBAZZPM
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAU75bq0O7qD
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.349Please respect copyright.PENANA1PMoG5hHUg
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAGiBlXUyfXS
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.349Please respect copyright.PENANASSC4DDZaAy
Spiderman: (agitated)349Please respect copyright.PENANAt7wqUhDwtb
"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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAxKOxKxgn7O
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.349Please respect copyright.PENANAIKy7rUsNzR
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.349Please respect copyright.PENANAlNmdct4i7p
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.349Please respect copyright.PENANA3X5bZb4zjV
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.349Please respect copyright.PENANAeDJkPlf506
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAmGgBJk1mTr
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.349Please respect copyright.PENANAzzW68NbIxB
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.349Please respect copyright.PENANAnoItl7kdcf
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.349Please respect copyright.PENANACREIBedPb4
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAweZGBWwRSK
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.349Please respect copyright.PENANAI7zKEXI7jg
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.349Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ocjk0Pt3p
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAigyTDPjwmP
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.349Please respect copyright.PENANAVpitDXRwzp
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.349Please respect copyright.PENANA8n8fXiefh3
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.349Please respect copyright.PENANAPljoXQjtBS
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.349Please respect copyright.PENANAAGvsYw3iX7
Hawkeye shrugged.349Please respect copyright.PENANAi3cM9SScYd
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.349Please respect copyright.PENANAX9f9uJ5iib
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.349Please respect copyright.PENANASW2ef4HL6G
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.349Please respect copyright.PENANAPXMRRke775
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.349Please respect copyright.PENANAvvDsrfA6aY
"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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAHlVkaIenpZ
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANA5avdCozbG8
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAHgAkUBOL34
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.349Please respect copyright.PENANA4MceexMllW
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.349Please respect copyright.PENANANreec8tgWH
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.349Please respect copyright.PENANAqEtrkMWi5q
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.349Please respect copyright.PENANA7PpxM0osjN
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.349Please respect copyright.PENANADH9J77rpiM
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.349Please respect copyright.PENANASoHfsYG2aL
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.349Please respect copyright.PENANAibFzRoHwDA
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.349Please respect copyright.PENANApeh5yqcHLT
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.349Please respect copyright.PENANARWMqR7KtTS
Hawkeye nodded proudly.349Please respect copyright.PENANAT76Q4dFxW5
"Yup. I did." He said.349Please respect copyright.PENANA9Me7JWcwYi
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.349Please respect copyright.PENANA5yKLe47bZM
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.349Please respect copyright.PENANAPoJB4QBwOq
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.349Please respect copyright.PENANAoTdhmzJpCy
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.349Please respect copyright.PENANAUAygZa8Gow
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.349Please respect copyright.PENANAUKc6X8cC3j
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.349Please respect copyright.PENANAM0TOTGjs7a
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.349Please respect copyright.PENANAnF6wB5Eb5P
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.349Please respect copyright.PENANAj1i2Dp7flj
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.349Please respect copyright.PENANAMgLViNn9a2
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. 349Please respect copyright.PENANAI8KmJpzsUe
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.349Please respect copyright.PENANAjNLiJDjnkq
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAjYexvS88G4
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.349Please respect copyright.PENANAhlmzo0Ol8Z
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?349Please respect copyright.PENANAcNp2AtJjLH
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAA30ytASUtJ
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.349Please respect copyright.PENANAQYi2PmWNTg
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.349Please respect copyright.PENANAdM0UFVhd7B
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.349Please respect copyright.PENANAFN4zsgx5CH
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.349Please respect copyright.PENANABXNJJ6l4is
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.349Please respect copyright.PENANAjd17GRingG
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!349Please respect copyright.PENANAFLwrbdyo1j
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANACddwzdOn9V
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAfFtQRkMiuT
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!349Please respect copyright.PENANA1kWs1cbYNP
Batman: Oh, no it can't349Please respect copyright.PENANAUoEsFXKKVz
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.349Please respect copyright.PENANACUpiKSsyDw
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?349Please respect copyright.PENANAMbXZf3gY70
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.349Please respect copyright.PENANAgH8XnWXTv0
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.349Please respect copyright.PENANAOc0o3t0SnC
Batman: Oh crap!349Please respect copyright.PENANARhfoA2YI2v
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.349Please respect copyright.PENANA5E31Nu5P9W
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!349Please respect copyright.PENANAoxq7qiyFnE
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.349Please respect copyright.PENANAxoq1dbuNZQ
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.349Please respect copyright.PENANAtzYAox999M
Galactus: What is this?349Please respect copyright.PENANA5I6LMyQ2Ge
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.349Please respect copyright.PENANAv6vqJke0iu
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!349Please respect copyright.PENANAtEKibGM4cQ
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.349Please respect copyright.PENANAzzh1OckIrz
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!349Please respect copyright.PENANAegX4Vqmsxz
Galactus recognized him as well.349Please respect copyright.PENANAeYEkfVGyX3
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!349Please respect copyright.PENANAnnBoVvgYqB
Doctor Strange: Yes!349Please respect copyright.PENANAZYhdLp198R
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?349Please respect copyright.PENANAogs4rwSCat
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.349Please respect copyright.PENANAaWVxGnjXA9
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!349Please respect copyright.PENANAkOtqKHbYHR
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.349Please respect copyright.PENANAU0YrLB9oHJ
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.349Please respect copyright.PENANAhIBFXHycly
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!349Please respect copyright.PENANAZoYmROhL5h
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.349Please respect copyright.PENANArC8KlIelPl
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?349Please respect copyright.PENANAMYzaowZgkd
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 349Please respect copyright.PENANAaAgEMnHQsP
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 349Please respect copyright.PENANAH56ePrcCLS
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.349Please respect copyright.PENANAvwLfxNV1X4
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!349Please respect copyright.PENANAamnPr5ltEk
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.349Please respect copyright.PENANA1m2kyAhmCW
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.349Please respect copyright.PENANAYKfc1Lniv3
Galactus: What is that?349Please respect copyright.PENANAaExrWhucvO
