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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAEA1uP09K6f
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ0LOIZr91
"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.322Please respect copyright.PENANA5fbYD22uNk
"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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAIbQ238auNB
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.322Please respect copyright.PENANAjxsSRpxSJv
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." 322Please respect copyright.PENANAnNxVsukMlP
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAU9wdMfdJi5
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)322Please respect copyright.PENANA96m8dPXc2n
"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!"322Please respect copyright.PENANAu68d0f6DWT
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)322Please respect copyright.PENANArQzmKw5FqP
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 322Please respect copyright.PENANA2MaJ7jRxzU
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 322Please respect copyright.PENANAd36Okxw9vk
[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.]322Please respect copyright.PENANAzH6olGFeeb
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 322Please respect copyright.PENANAnF6w2JQ33R
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.322Please respect copyright.PENANAq59tWJmajt
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 322Please respect copyright.PENANAMPeDyfKeYt
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAfejFK1HP0l
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.322Please respect copyright.PENANAdyB6UXCoi2
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANA0KLaf5ngeJ
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!322Please respect copyright.PENANAe8DDnbnzaZ
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.322Please respect copyright.PENANA7wRPWPq2hi
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.322Please respect copyright.PENANA5W1IQpU1da
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.322Please respect copyright.PENANAP9Br9dNW99
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.322Please respect copyright.PENANARvD3EBYyF8
Doom: Ow! That hurt!322Please respect copyright.PENANAF7OnaRYUlX
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.322Please respect copyright.PENANAL2N7sn9A9c
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.322Please respect copyright.PENANAFWE8FHEjMt
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.322Please respect copyright.PENANAwC2ED3cqHD
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAlqmN6RvLzF
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.322Please respect copyright.PENANAKh7FbzWSzB
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAEcyytNOk1k
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.322Please respect copyright.PENANAVy4mXTNFaL
Spiderman: (agitated)322Please respect copyright.PENANAbySc4mvxPi
"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.322Please respect copyright.PENANA3xJGJ7yVW1
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.322Please respect copyright.PENANAdXAv91DGJZ
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.322Please respect copyright.PENANAGvnYcZmX97
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.322Please respect copyright.PENANAoPh1ePySq7
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.322Please respect copyright.PENANAcGUfxIIE40
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANA2t4YDdLvtT
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.322Please respect copyright.PENANA3Tg3RnXjd3
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.322Please respect copyright.PENANA2RnmbgLagL
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.322Please respect copyright.PENANAiWt94UBpUE
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAOohJKtXgMt
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.322Please respect copyright.PENANAOaA9rZ6eaA
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.322Please respect copyright.PENANAbKCDKOH8so
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANA3zmLYQ0gMT
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.322Please respect copyright.PENANAMEgSbHddeU
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.322Please respect copyright.PENANAnEMINYy8Fy
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.322Please respect copyright.PENANAK8li2Ufhm5
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.322Please respect copyright.PENANAVWR2Rjblo0
Hawkeye shrugged.322Please respect copyright.PENANA0oka3p8dyz
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.322Please respect copyright.PENANAWvPMGlLahl
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.322Please respect copyright.PENANAGcWuHdcLWj
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.322Please respect copyright.PENANApYqOOZJueZ
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.322Please respect copyright.PENANAe08dpJPVW1
"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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAoFmNHsuRRa
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAfS5TJ5CAp6
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANA9oECKp3kZM
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.322Please respect copyright.PENANAvtzc4DXcuh
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.322Please respect copyright.PENANA1Wa3CdPTli
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.322Please respect copyright.PENANApQzTzZvdKA
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.322Please respect copyright.PENANA8VmzVrBI0E
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.322Please respect copyright.PENANAif7OyyhcW9
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.322Please respect copyright.PENANAUOPWmCceEa
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.322Please respect copyright.PENANA9QvgwnAwCv
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.322Please respect copyright.PENANAllssuXGPlw
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.322Please respect copyright.PENANA5zd4bgPC51
Hawkeye nodded proudly.322Please respect copyright.PENANATzwOt3KO9y
"Yup. I did." He said.322Please respect copyright.PENANAq6FKk69AFj
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.322Please respect copyright.PENANAiqIB1srgSG
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.322Please respect copyright.PENANAIk1Uz3zuWf
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.322Please respect copyright.PENANAjVqykEMBj9
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.322Please respect copyright.PENANAJXBDNrl2mj
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.322Please respect copyright.PENANAhDtrLly7ol
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.322Please respect copyright.PENANAb1NzOyYrYN
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.322Please respect copyright.PENANAtK2fc0Q7m0
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.322Please respect copyright.PENANAhllM5jvNoy
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.322Please respect copyright.PENANAKXXnlgq7VY
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. 322Please respect copyright.PENANAu4zBtXIZl9
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.322Please respect copyright.PENANAfN07XR2exJ
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAfCkt2yEEM8
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.322Please respect copyright.PENANAkc9TVxH7i8
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?322Please respect copyright.PENANAdGDWz10uZO
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAMgfO5DXonf
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.322Please respect copyright.PENANAZctuYcxeyz
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.322Please respect copyright.PENANAwMeG1mAhUL
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.322Please respect copyright.PENANAOsFx917M49
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.322Please respect copyright.PENANA78vQuV80iw
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.322Please respect copyright.PENANACwi3W38KQg
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!322Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ479jGbgc
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAoZolVDFUVM
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAHmTaq0V09H
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!322Please respect copyright.PENANAJOIPM0s04o
Batman: Oh, no it can't322Please respect copyright.PENANARwTprCOL7n
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.322Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xj9itQxDK
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?322Please respect copyright.PENANANdqMvZAuDh
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.322Please respect copyright.PENANAR8NHo2Diqc
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.322Please respect copyright.PENANASrWlh9O2aX
Batman: Oh crap!322Please respect copyright.PENANA8PUV4nGtNU
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.322Please respect copyright.PENANAZPwKNLU28Q
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!322Please respect copyright.PENANAjluxQNMEaB
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.322Please respect copyright.PENANAgmklslLxxc
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.322Please respect copyright.PENANAG2FJXJqPGq
Galactus: What is this?322Please respect copyright.PENANAschiaq7TX0
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.322Please respect copyright.PENANAZWgUbOiC60
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!322Please respect copyright.PENANACBH7W0eAv9
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.322Please respect copyright.PENANALIJReARPpL
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!322Please respect copyright.PENANAMvwRzUO5pb
Galactus recognized him as well.322Please respect copyright.PENANA0zC3dv3a6n
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!322Please respect copyright.PENANAXfZM8utIa3
Doctor Strange: Yes!322Please respect copyright.PENANAdW26Nat5VD
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?322Please respect copyright.PENANAw1zIfD5Mfv
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.322Please respect copyright.PENANAwQICiXTbcM
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!322Please respect copyright.PENANAT85nN2IUJt
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.322Please respect copyright.PENANAlNSTltNE9m
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.322Please respect copyright.PENANAFgLGhndAA1
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!322Please respect copyright.PENANAV16PWESi0p
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.322Please respect copyright.PENANAGh6Fj3DDJu
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?322Please respect copyright.PENANAUtOyOCfbYV
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 322Please respect copyright.PENANAWbXYHYAsap
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 322Please respect copyright.PENANA18fROICFHs
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.322Please respect copyright.PENANAXEFzplvlgk
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!322Please respect copyright.PENANAX7FAXnWfbj
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.322Please respect copyright.PENANArmDoTbq2nA
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.322Please respect copyright.PENANAjwogM6x3l2
Galactus: What is that?322Please respect copyright.PENANAOxAeDFBgfM
