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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAvLxP5lc8Me
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANADN4M0bfGgr
"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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAYSB12dXdTK
"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.346Please respect copyright.PENANARiPGRIoibI
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.346Please respect copyright.PENANAuVkaQF7uzG
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." 346Please respect copyright.PENANAwE4HQ7gQbl
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANA9BZCUP80Fl
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)346Please respect copyright.PENANAuXMP63Phhx
"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!"346Please respect copyright.PENANA2HJM9s8dwW
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)346Please respect copyright.PENANA3PkLdqbJEC
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 346Please respect copyright.PENANABqT9QPBkYn
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 346Please respect copyright.PENANAs8ClG7VKKu
[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.]346Please respect copyright.PENANA2BhM6hwpM9
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 346Please respect copyright.PENANAjofHSqXDmD
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.346Please respect copyright.PENANAHUFUWNjsHN
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 346Please respect copyright.PENANAm5YKclYPUz
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANANTZPBOaeFJ
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.346Please respect copyright.PENANAd74I67eDDM
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAScKDcTvYc0
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!346Please respect copyright.PENANAeYiTMTDfoC
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.346Please respect copyright.PENANAvu0nbxIJwj
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.346Please respect copyright.PENANAA7zEF5kPJQ
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.346Please respect copyright.PENANAzrC1uvZv6q
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.346Please respect copyright.PENANA14jLYWt36b
Doom: Ow! That hurt!346Please respect copyright.PENANACFbbQK0M0K
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.346Please respect copyright.PENANAEycizV1zVD
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.346Please respect copyright.PENANAqCOrBQHrHG
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.346Please respect copyright.PENANAvzwtQRv5Vg
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAnH0MlbMTsd
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.346Please respect copyright.PENANA3HinKPCdF8
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAwCSHYyq2FT
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.346Please respect copyright.PENANAiWOQDfA0hJ
Spiderman: (agitated)346Please respect copyright.PENANAxqwjPZVKYu
"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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAXU1s2y6wjM
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.346Please respect copyright.PENANAFdOthjFbJz
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.346Please respect copyright.PENANAN51pylsLm8
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.346Please respect copyright.PENANAbJiOHSVJIc
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.346Please respect copyright.PENANAVceBgf6U8v
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAxKIrCCIpZ7
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.346Please respect copyright.PENANAObEx8cIRpl
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.346Please respect copyright.PENANAmGvlx3u5gm
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.346Please respect copyright.PENANAQYThVeF9X9
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANA6AEUHpnanE
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.346Please respect copyright.PENANACOwbfsO0V0
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.346Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3AMBowA5M
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANASctMyuX6TP
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.346Please respect copyright.PENANA1aTiUAgyjQ
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.346Please respect copyright.PENANAUbi7vARbAX
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.346Please respect copyright.PENANAslZQX3FTXN
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.346Please respect copyright.PENANARLwn59vkb3
Hawkeye shrugged.346Please respect copyright.PENANAFBnw74Wp7R
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.346Please respect copyright.PENANA50TD0spRWK
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.346Please respect copyright.PENANAYpm9W6Rx3c
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.346Please respect copyright.PENANAfgQLaLbQbv
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.346Please respect copyright.PENANAvU78WxpTwl
"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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAVwg8WBqp3m
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAV4HLuK56z9
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAVOkhD9itwV
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.346Please respect copyright.PENANAA9rP4N7DKN
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.346Please respect copyright.PENANAki9m5YfAt3
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.346Please respect copyright.PENANAZvEc5v7mFk
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.346Please respect copyright.PENANAlbfyoENwAA
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.346Please respect copyright.PENANAslAXvhB7uD
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.346Please respect copyright.PENANAm4T3asU2p1
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.346Please respect copyright.PENANASMfyU6x4sT
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.346Please respect copyright.PENANAvpCcBHZ6QS
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.346Please respect copyright.PENANALQQUVeAzFh
Hawkeye nodded proudly.346Please respect copyright.PENANAcT2WaSN6Uq
"Yup. I did." He said.346Please respect copyright.PENANANaZqG5bJMO
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.346Please respect copyright.PENANAx6QyYGymmo
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.346Please respect copyright.PENANAS3j8Nnleub
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.346Please respect copyright.PENANArVP3ruv7MK
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.346Please respect copyright.PENANAkP4RbMdFyR
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.346Please respect copyright.PENANA89Rmvw1hrf
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.346Please respect copyright.PENANAVl7WTpNipY
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.346Please respect copyright.PENANAUQeDuNPv1g
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.346Please respect copyright.PENANAffuQBnNxPq
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.346Please respect copyright.PENANAhcRfHgKKZE
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. 346Please respect copyright.PENANA6MTaWCud8S
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.346Please respect copyright.PENANAEnYa5cXxPY
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAZjVaGknjlP
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.346Please respect copyright.PENANAga0q7ko98g
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?346Please respect copyright.PENANA7zAIIz8Qwb
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAMDklnIyx4U
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.346Please respect copyright.PENANAsQLLlRibDI
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.346Please respect copyright.PENANAclIojOdKoG
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.346Please respect copyright.PENANAKQXuBsnoMS
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.346Please respect copyright.PENANAwDU5m5kS9n
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.346Please respect copyright.PENANABSSCWAsp0y
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!346Please respect copyright.PENANAalXsSa8Qz1
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANA0PNYxak3FS
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANA6PrD29vxrG
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!346Please respect copyright.PENANAYgqiIgj6xL
Batman: Oh, no it can't346Please respect copyright.PENANAgFbMc5FqLE
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.346Please respect copyright.PENANAtZXlTFX7Z1
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?346Please respect copyright.PENANAkVKJt81dl6
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.346Please respect copyright.PENANAchPlU0ya0e
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.346Please respect copyright.PENANAYPxnuQ9DYb
Batman: Oh crap!346Please respect copyright.PENANAcDNwoKs5IU
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.346Please respect copyright.PENANANyZxbNXATI
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!346Please respect copyright.PENANA7QrR0G2HGl
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.346Please respect copyright.PENANADB7N7PYJq5
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.346Please respect copyright.PENANAo2hwoF6wCR
Galactus: What is this?346Please respect copyright.PENANAS1IJLofMhc
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.346Please respect copyright.PENANAEwWefXpaxo
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!346Please respect copyright.PENANA8P922wXjSX
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.346Please respect copyright.PENANAYSZV1oQpA7
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!346Please respect copyright.PENANAwzhFTxb1bJ
Galactus recognized him as well.346Please respect copyright.PENANAHwx2m8xULH
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!346Please respect copyright.PENANAXcGCYkpNLA
Doctor Strange: Yes!346Please respect copyright.PENANAbDtRYnRIEJ
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?346Please respect copyright.PENANAU67JxcBcZH
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.346Please respect copyright.PENANAf8VMGBwbkV
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!346Please respect copyright.PENANA73VIRsSr6l
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.346Please respect copyright.PENANATgaT12Ivz1
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.346Please respect copyright.PENANAmkxdnIsDKE
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!346Please respect copyright.PENANApyOxqChpri
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.346Please respect copyright.PENANAl95tVnet74
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?346Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7M94n7Bsk
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 346Please respect copyright.PENANAY5ObzTM32Y
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 346Please respect copyright.PENANAghcT8E9qAi
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.346Please respect copyright.PENANAaWjMhMSETo
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!346Please respect copyright.PENANAnCZVjpGzVe
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.346Please respect copyright.PENANAWxjwjsRpYV
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.346Please respect copyright.PENANAw8SSL1pwz5
Galactus: What is that?346Please respect copyright.PENANA0GieF0mPcA
