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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAkpi4ZBBHEB
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAMHaHhpqRrl
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAmKN7acfvOb
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAp8hbIpjfkY
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.163Please respect copyright.PENANACe6D2RJDs4
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." 163Please respect copyright.PENANAvuf6hH3OHR
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAFDrVJpPQNG
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)163Please respect copyright.PENANAv6qNxrW7qp
"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!"163Please respect copyright.PENANAHFfnSUa4DA
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)163Please respect copyright.PENANAV4ATFn0YBH
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 163Please respect copyright.PENANArgW7CojPUa
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 163Please respect copyright.PENANAnI6lfMYq2d
[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.]163Please respect copyright.PENANAohEjrYNuyS
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 163Please respect copyright.PENANArHHpKzIAN8
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.163Please respect copyright.PENANABoqKi9MGk3
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 163Please respect copyright.PENANA1DMekOJ4q4
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAbA5Y7lKwGc
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.163Please respect copyright.PENANAUnkcKctNQE
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAyK6uQfNojj
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!163Please respect copyright.PENANA21DtdaNEy9
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.163Please respect copyright.PENANAlehRxqcrIP
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.163Please respect copyright.PENANAlJIC9sLJsX
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.163Please respect copyright.PENANAWuXLbozAVC
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.163Please respect copyright.PENANAKn1JZeAccb
Doom: Ow! That hurt!163Please respect copyright.PENANAGwwTXNTDOM
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.163Please respect copyright.PENANAmTcmAwK0FR
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.163Please respect copyright.PENANARzEU5aj76b
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.163Please respect copyright.PENANAGYdW8xJJTo
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANA7hoVbRfsqt
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.163Please respect copyright.PENANAtAtUUp1hnh
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANANsxKSBdCMu
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.163Please respect copyright.PENANAgwkUV4SZB8
Spiderman: (agitated)163Please respect copyright.PENANA27WgJW125q
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAwi6z78AZG6
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.163Please respect copyright.PENANAiQAFaWQiR6
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.163Please respect copyright.PENANA9xPmWB8vkG
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.163Please respect copyright.PENANAD6aHV8vz0A
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.163Please respect copyright.PENANAi0oJKGuBMW
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAM1T1XR9gIH
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.163Please respect copyright.PENANANupfLkMZQe
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.163Please respect copyright.PENANA9cJzRq0Jd6
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.163Please respect copyright.PENANAnmRBAOsGYe
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANABeOiLvHPwW
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.163Please respect copyright.PENANADnSTyCmU7g
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.163Please respect copyright.PENANAqim9pHDG8u
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAoTSUXxtfzp
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.163Please respect copyright.PENANA3RUTXAPyMo
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.163Please respect copyright.PENANA6QD6sn5dTQ
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.163Please respect copyright.PENANAekL1zEggIO
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.163Please respect copyright.PENANATGPTjEbLKj
Hawkeye shrugged.163Please respect copyright.PENANApJrFJeDgEh
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.163Please respect copyright.PENANApcmQOX2ap2
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.163Please respect copyright.PENANAcoM6UMHovl
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.163Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ww3vUq1fV
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.163Please respect copyright.PENANAFlvmiOKQnJ
"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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAzpSCrDFBUT
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANA85I70ypDJa
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAegYNaxMQxM
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.163Please respect copyright.PENANAE6FCzG3ugL
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.163Please respect copyright.PENANA98CQYYnacZ
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.163Please respect copyright.PENANAARPqybdhHp
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.163Please respect copyright.PENANAt4ROEL1fcM
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.163Please respect copyright.PENANAVZw9yqyrS5
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.163Please respect copyright.PENANAQnel5yHlch
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.163Please respect copyright.PENANA9kRhjJBuaX
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.163Please respect copyright.PENANAcxcbKa61Bc
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.163Please respect copyright.PENANAnf5wqVgcVC
Hawkeye nodded proudly.163Please respect copyright.PENANA0IrMmouXyy
"Yup. I did." He said.163Please respect copyright.PENANA70jnugdLkv
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.163Please respect copyright.PENANAyuV8E51COV
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.163Please respect copyright.PENANAj0Or5WKu09
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.163Please respect copyright.PENANAlZFDS1lfIv
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.163Please respect copyright.PENANACJ5pnqOaBL
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.163Please respect copyright.PENANAi51uTkK3OZ
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.163Please respect copyright.PENANATrPtrHJFLL
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.163Please respect copyright.PENANAGnixT3iQ2z
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.163Please respect copyright.PENANAIJjeSbZUqI
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.163Please respect copyright.PENANAxNVlJQjTSO
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. 163Please respect copyright.PENANApKhoTaEmNg
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.163Please respect copyright.PENANAfrXNAEk0hD
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAjEzNpXHtFd
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.163Please respect copyright.PENANABdBEghYFcl
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?163Please respect copyright.PENANAY6gGAQPeU2
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAd4dugormBE
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.163Please respect copyright.PENANAyxp7ys8TyQ
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.163Please respect copyright.PENANAPxP6QSVkKx
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.163Please respect copyright.PENANAL5zqL2mOAR
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.163Please respect copyright.PENANACQCFA1sTWF
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.163Please respect copyright.PENANA8HFoVTiKDl
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!163Please respect copyright.PENANAmLtPDmPTSn
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAUIM1IQd9j2
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAgLHUzBALpY
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!163Please respect copyright.PENANA7klusihluW
Batman: Oh, no it can't163Please respect copyright.PENANAg9KFkFpYgL
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.163Please respect copyright.PENANAg3cI6BGQDt
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?163Please respect copyright.PENANAE9lKYi7Wgk
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.163Please respect copyright.PENANAbyclZG41jf
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.163Please respect copyright.PENANADSZsn0oem7
Batman: Oh crap!163Please respect copyright.PENANASbWdY15S9Y
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.163Please respect copyright.PENANAuLkSZCemtt
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!163Please respect copyright.PENANAbuxD3atwyW
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.163Please respect copyright.PENANAvhnLAEqoQV
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.163Please respect copyright.PENANAiBrre39AIc
Galactus: What is this?163Please respect copyright.PENANAoh3Fy2S3Rl
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.163Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ3zyVj14G
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!163Please respect copyright.PENANAgUWq339MFm
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.163Please respect copyright.PENANAhOAmzauf1D
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!163Please respect copyright.PENANAm2kxMNQWzl
Galactus recognized him as well.163Please respect copyright.PENANAMeGz9pI5KK
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!163Please respect copyright.PENANAeJEsbaNBSQ
Doctor Strange: Yes!163Please respect copyright.PENANATKcX65jEP6
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?163Please respect copyright.PENANAYuSDCuxd3S
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.163Please respect copyright.PENANAOMm3bgegNk
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!163Please respect copyright.PENANAr18Pk9A59x
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.163Please respect copyright.PENANAD7D2tDXBxB
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.163Please respect copyright.PENANA0ynaBscjKQ
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!163Please respect copyright.PENANAiNQ0dBM4Ai
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.163Please respect copyright.PENANAqXFuhtsf3a
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?163Please respect copyright.PENANApKF9gfaJnA
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 163Please respect copyright.PENANADXoottqtr4
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 163Please respect copyright.PENANA2r64Z0aMYD
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.163Please respect copyright.PENANAbEOKw1SnEb
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!163Please respect copyright.PENANA38Auk7TPgR
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.163Please respect copyright.PENANAEbjycTpbmV
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.163Please respect copyright.PENANAOyeqUMRF9q
Galactus: What is that?163Please respect copyright.PENANAw28ijPN7QO
