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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAK4AKEwWdcm
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAfA7C5o4hP9
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAmBK44vBdUw
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAEnMfrEzLSF
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.193Please respect copyright.PENANAQmfRJBFstR
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." 193Please respect copyright.PENANACUOPeuiajY
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAAYV2z3JD9D
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)193Please respect copyright.PENANA9OmGTAL8oz
"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!"193Please respect copyright.PENANAb5Zg7bq0FW
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)193Please respect copyright.PENANAE0RAinBbCH
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 193Please respect copyright.PENANAaNulCZN4Re
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 193Please respect copyright.PENANANDkfsS84zJ
[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.]193Please respect copyright.PENANAoGDh9SZkkg
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 193Please respect copyright.PENANAsf0Si3gF6r
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.193Please respect copyright.PENANA9R6DyxFRcP
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 193Please respect copyright.PENANAU4um4ceK7n
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAMeOwuCrPws
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.193Please respect copyright.PENANAs69BPnwU24
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAAIraEAsV7R
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!193Please respect copyright.PENANAX9myfMZhCT
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.193Please respect copyright.PENANAgadlz23cyH
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.193Please respect copyright.PENANApJoeSpR333
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.193Please respect copyright.PENANAmVY38GDfo1
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.193Please respect copyright.PENANAGn18FudHWn
Doom: Ow! That hurt!193Please respect copyright.PENANA62Yl05FTDd
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.193Please respect copyright.PENANA97AMGoWnTv
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.193Please respect copyright.PENANAPGOI1z0NSP
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.193Please respect copyright.PENANArlcUgBtXFp
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAwXHS8WW6jf
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.193Please respect copyright.PENANAqU0JdHrmv0
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAyItWDcIO7a
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.193Please respect copyright.PENANAsSbDYiZ7UN
Spiderman: (agitated)193Please respect copyright.PENANATWAketqDc3
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAMljq2wnUlx
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.193Please respect copyright.PENANATJ9H3TdKyA
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.193Please respect copyright.PENANAQtO1s7pZdS
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.193Please respect copyright.PENANA9usg0fsEf9
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.193Please respect copyright.PENANAFc4h9SqRHD
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAHFvZbZZWXL
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.193Please respect copyright.PENANAopnlnI2Xcm
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.193Please respect copyright.PENANAcrmaGGaYpt
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.193Please respect copyright.PENANAgdQtuN0YhZ
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAaHAAipv1PX
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.193Please respect copyright.PENANATUBwrhwflz
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.193Please respect copyright.PENANAyMp8cYKuND
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAmmFyZ4YhWb
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.193Please respect copyright.PENANAt1BpW7Rf3r
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.193Please respect copyright.PENANA9sjUgVrrXm
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.193Please respect copyright.PENANA8Eb2oMvRks
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.193Please respect copyright.PENANAJHe8lRxPbu
Hawkeye shrugged.193Please respect copyright.PENANAEqIPl5TfiY
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.193Please respect copyright.PENANA4LB8qG8ipl
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.193Please respect copyright.PENANA3umUXfzbEY
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.193Please respect copyright.PENANADxBil8lHbm
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.193Please respect copyright.PENANA0yf1higMvT
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANA32kErhceeg
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAWbK0Jo9SqY
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAVas5eEZhSC
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.193Please respect copyright.PENANAfIKxrqtzUD
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.193Please respect copyright.PENANAWVB8sLsFJy
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.193Please respect copyright.PENANAbq9In6z0Hz
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.193Please respect copyright.PENANAhObevUhInC
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.193Please respect copyright.PENANAKP3o0EhsJF
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.193Please respect copyright.PENANATZC5uqaLf0
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.193Please respect copyright.PENANAiFKtBEkP96
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.193Please respect copyright.PENANAq9kXlVz4MC
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.193Please respect copyright.PENANASovt54VJGJ
Hawkeye nodded proudly.193Please respect copyright.PENANA7LSn4HZKEr
"Yup. I did." He said.193Please respect copyright.PENANAQnqMufVI1V
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.193Please respect copyright.PENANAq25RcX2pzp
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.193Please respect copyright.PENANAqqewYBYzK2
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.193Please respect copyright.PENANACFGeHKDQJw
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.193Please respect copyright.PENANAIEGhNK1alE
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.193Please respect copyright.PENANAfnQmxIvCHy
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.193Please respect copyright.PENANAgR6FwDy9Xd
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.193Please respect copyright.PENANAP2OhW0CLce
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.193Please respect copyright.PENANAX0y8sWEoas
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.193Please respect copyright.PENANAL3Lli4XkAs
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. 193Please respect copyright.PENANAjdNTFKGYzE
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.193Please respect copyright.PENANA8W1wNi2cFW
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAbDPfE8Twix
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.193Please respect copyright.PENANAtFJmsQWLrD
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?193Please respect copyright.PENANAlk5iU6uMHI
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAycE3r9XRmE
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.193Please respect copyright.PENANA5C9f2IE2jS
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.193Please respect copyright.PENANAoIE6eKoFx7
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.193Please respect copyright.PENANAQuSe7WB9xs
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.193Please respect copyright.PENANA97mfxzY153
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.193Please respect copyright.PENANAYuJU0al27Z
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!193Please respect copyright.PENANAyGTWUJ32lc
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANABQQL7c0Vah
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAddKtrRvmUE
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!193Please respect copyright.PENANA3HiqBIn3ZH
Batman: Oh, no it can't193Please respect copyright.PENANAJI6vWHLzsL
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.193Please respect copyright.PENANAiqFQJINe99
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?193Please respect copyright.PENANAqvdxJNeKjh
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.193Please respect copyright.PENANAls3uG8BZ16
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.193Please respect copyright.PENANAcd0cQcRykB
Batman: Oh crap!193Please respect copyright.PENANAA5UM2Lu3is
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.193Please respect copyright.PENANAI2jJhYuhhE
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!193Please respect copyright.PENANAJJ8ceF3uh8
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.193Please respect copyright.PENANA2foz4Odugo
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.193Please respect copyright.PENANAEcvMy1ysEM
Galactus: What is this?193Please respect copyright.PENANA5zHGJLab1u
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.193Please respect copyright.PENANAXdch5UUb0n
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!193Please respect copyright.PENANAlTP90UMOv3
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.193Please respect copyright.PENANAzvCbNQrYeQ
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!193Please respect copyright.PENANAT7M96uvU6K
Galactus recognized him as well.193Please respect copyright.PENANAxqusc64wWU
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!193Please respect copyright.PENANA4stkwnkv7F
Doctor Strange: Yes!193Please respect copyright.PENANAcGmqBchFZL
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?193Please respect copyright.PENANA6cbUG9ffyR
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.193Please respect copyright.PENANAdEdE2l1JXh
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!193Please respect copyright.PENANAx5QZsTSdEg
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.193Please respect copyright.PENANA6SBcVhvRUR
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.193Please respect copyright.PENANARu5xKPvGqR
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!193Please respect copyright.PENANAE6GjtzCBTm
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.193Please respect copyright.PENANAT2aMnkHo08
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?193Please respect copyright.PENANApw5lhRnd2L
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 193Please respect copyright.PENANALga0C0qL3c
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 193Please respect copyright.PENANAKtl7cOVnia
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.193Please respect copyright.PENANAzHYUOlnrHF
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!193Please respect copyright.PENANAS9N7XA0U5w
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.193Please respect copyright.PENANAQitKtD68x4
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.193Please respect copyright.PENANAOnI4wD7xBy
Galactus: What is that?193Please respect copyright.PENANAMZqADxllL6
