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.366Please respect copyright.PENANA1w8VK9VVFs
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAQmBtEnvuiZ
"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.366Please respect copyright.PENANASFwz0igyaj
"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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAtWYaT8kslf
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.366Please respect copyright.PENANAEwiTgvWmAj
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." 366Please respect copyright.PENANA4cZQqAF8hc
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAdEw6kCPCQH
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)366Please respect copyright.PENANA3vAUBQPR2d
"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!"366Please respect copyright.PENANAivHoHXmL7Q
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)366Please respect copyright.PENANAdaheifdxA0
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 366Please respect copyright.PENANA5F6BA26HIv
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 366Please respect copyright.PENANA09p4Ws8lQ5
[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.]366Please respect copyright.PENANAVxJA9YveKy
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 366Please respect copyright.PENANAdPfo9O6s74
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.366Please respect copyright.PENANAoP0eYwGCe5
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 366Please respect copyright.PENANAnyfhRJNXME
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAkbIHPlJGGv
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.366Please respect copyright.PENANAlXPinzF5h2
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAtqu2G14K1o
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!366Please respect copyright.PENANAJ65uSL3Sxw
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.366Please respect copyright.PENANAaC4ZSvOV37
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.366Please respect copyright.PENANA2NnIvBELQ9
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.366Please respect copyright.PENANA1YHfbaVgvi
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.366Please respect copyright.PENANAuJM0OaVDgn
Doom: Ow! That hurt!366Please respect copyright.PENANAiXIJZvexuH
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.366Please respect copyright.PENANAiqmsRl0FeS
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.366Please respect copyright.PENANANM4BQS8UTA
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.366Please respect copyright.PENANAE6rC6aLMsb
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAndWVd815YY
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.366Please respect copyright.PENANA9zPdhwFgAx
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAOFO4VYXdVU
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.366Please respect copyright.PENANA1KEde3H0kX
Spiderman: (agitated)366Please respect copyright.PENANAlSrHv2Ezac
"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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAfem5aSX3M0
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.366Please respect copyright.PENANAFi9dSZAamA
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.366Please respect copyright.PENANA52cuexpALv
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.366Please respect copyright.PENANAl7JzNWDP53
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.366Please respect copyright.PENANAyozduJSdcr
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAr5YqSOPjZv
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.366Please respect copyright.PENANAXaU03BvDQU
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.366Please respect copyright.PENANA1d35sHiDJP
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.366Please respect copyright.PENANA47RSZQPD4n
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAKIZLmg9SWD
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.366Please respect copyright.PENANACUhwm0YuFy
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.366Please respect copyright.PENANAsnkoA3JVPl
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANATF0y1suuF1
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.366Please respect copyright.PENANAjMMShjZyN2
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.366Please respect copyright.PENANAPmPZh1ahZT
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.366Please respect copyright.PENANAsqjpBCdg7d
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.366Please respect copyright.PENANAgncMSp9vSd
Hawkeye shrugged.366Please respect copyright.PENANA6AmPAoQMq5
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.366Please respect copyright.PENANArRB8RHfZ0a
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.366Please respect copyright.PENANAqZwK4Ppfq4
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.366Please respect copyright.PENANAERpE9uxHu8
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.366Please respect copyright.PENANA66Tp7kPrhj
"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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAxzjOqMWfI8
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAv8QUIMBWBG
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANA2nIOxesRBm
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.366Please respect copyright.PENANAO3cV6qb26C
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.366Please respect copyright.PENANA5pBHIoQkOV
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.366Please respect copyright.PENANAvZjEOim9G4
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.366Please respect copyright.PENANA089LcriFER
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.366Please respect copyright.PENANAtWQImjzrrM
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.366Please respect copyright.PENANAeHpCaoc6zs
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.366Please respect copyright.PENANAhOlSNBMUsQ
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.366Please respect copyright.PENANALEe2hLTKEq
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.366Please respect copyright.PENANANsTrKHGOtY
Hawkeye nodded proudly.366Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4MM13J5Ys
"Yup. I did." He said.366Please respect copyright.PENANAyYBgOvWUiH
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.366Please respect copyright.PENANAtvxSxna0tW
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.366Please respect copyright.PENANAFwi2No9aoG
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.366Please respect copyright.PENANA25SFAC8eno
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.366Please respect copyright.PENANAF3QoqbEpoH
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.366Please respect copyright.PENANAvKJcFZRX0Y
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.366Please respect copyright.PENANAGe98VhjKPL
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.366Please respect copyright.PENANAajkciLyAeI
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.366Please respect copyright.PENANAWb13gaVHgm
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.366Please respect copyright.PENANAgKu8MM5N2G
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. 366Please respect copyright.PENANA075hqf8GAY
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.366Please respect copyright.PENANAsJVS0cT2W6
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAZFsoLgTaYk
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.366Please respect copyright.PENANAMbxRgWvfuK
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?366Please respect copyright.PENANAXugueeLk3D
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANApy1foJOBJy
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.366Please respect copyright.PENANAN386SPwdn8
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.366Please respect copyright.PENANA0XnhdOnfir
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.366Please respect copyright.PENANAEqopeo3IZ5
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.366Please respect copyright.PENANArwWRqRRrvi
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.366Please respect copyright.PENANAHDcQMWJDei
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!366Please respect copyright.PENANA7xRFhcGrYK
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAaYh4qTyt2x
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAv41xRhupt9
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!366Please respect copyright.PENANA2HsMupsiS0
Batman: Oh, no it can't366Please respect copyright.PENANAI53iI6ao9A
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.366Please respect copyright.PENANApnPzfvvX6B
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?366Please respect copyright.PENANAwMRjos0jEy
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.366Please respect copyright.PENANAhOyKRyxp4j
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.366Please respect copyright.PENANAP8X55UQOgh
Batman: Oh crap!366Please respect copyright.PENANAM5VajxBwbd
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.366Please respect copyright.PENANAJmztLBfTWt
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!366Please respect copyright.PENANAhTJKK9c2rL
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.366Please respect copyright.PENANAnqlAj6cbof
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.366Please respect copyright.PENANAZz2HPvxq7T
Galactus: What is this?366Please respect copyright.PENANAklySP6cxmm
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.366Please respect copyright.PENANASEbUw3ttfp
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!366Please respect copyright.PENANAAfXKnww4OO
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.366Please respect copyright.PENANAV0mDBpJgHT
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!366Please respect copyright.PENANAVwjTpEnKyT
Galactus recognized him as well.366Please respect copyright.PENANAhKiaFGkTNt
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!366Please respect copyright.PENANAGkvzvGV8zY
Doctor Strange: Yes!366Please respect copyright.PENANA8yaA84Z9Qi
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?366Please respect copyright.PENANAdQniRpSebX
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.366Please respect copyright.PENANAXu8pUJ19PS
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!366Please respect copyright.PENANAh1WQdsedCn
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.366Please respect copyright.PENANAoU55Nf7Nrn
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.366Please respect copyright.PENANAvAAyJ7pjOp
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!366Please respect copyright.PENANANqqFegno73
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.366Please respect copyright.PENANAOeyEE8PUQJ
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?366Please respect copyright.PENANAF6tLK622WC
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 366Please respect copyright.PENANAUMkIHgDRr2
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 366Please respect copyright.PENANAfvVhBvJLuO
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.366Please respect copyright.PENANAtk6JavFVTr
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!366Please respect copyright.PENANAh0M3cSjTl1
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.366Please respect copyright.PENANAtwbRILTkt3
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.366Please respect copyright.PENANAt67t16wHqV
Galactus: What is that?366Please respect copyright.PENANA6YHQyX3bR1
