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.130Please respect copyright.PENANA3YXBXJm2Np
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAcEG1c9RoC8
"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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAJyFwDBVOrG
"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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAq6nasLukQZ
Doom replied, turning his attention to Spider-Man.130Please respect copyright.PENANA7dCXu3ZUm0
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." 130Please respect copyright.PENANANURkwMJ9HQ
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAidKX9p0Zqe
Spider-Man: (said, trying to stall him)130Please respect copyright.PENANAeLwC4ND1tw
"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!"130Please respect copyright.PENANAcYxf1zQRzo
Doom: (firing another beam at Spider-Man.)130Please respect copyright.PENANAdbOAcPuQai
Oh really? And who are these friends of yours? The Avengers? The Justice League? The X-Men? The Teen Titans?
The Powerpuff Girls? 130Please respect copyright.PENANAX9oMnwNTcw
Ha! They're no match for me and my cosmic power! Bring them on! I'll destroy them all!" 130Please respect copyright.PENANA3X5RFC2LiF
[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.]130Please respect copyright.PENANApAauAcfEff
Spiderman: "Spider-Man to Avengers Tower. Come in, Avengers Tower. Do you copy?" 130Please respect copyright.PENANA34z7isNM7p
He said into the device.
"This is Iron Man. What's up, Spidey?" A voice answered.130Please respect copyright.PENANAJncvfPDIJo
"Iron Man! Thank goodness! Listen, we have a situation here. 130Please respect copyright.PENANA9ceUsUYpmL
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAd6y3PKyiKO
"Thanks, Iron Man. Hurry!" Spider-Man said.130Please respect copyright.PENANArH3CfDoc9b
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANABXOjG1Au5j
"Hey, Doom! How about you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted firing a mass of spider web at him!130Please respect copyright.PENANAfwRsazVmiO
Doom ripped off the webbing and glared at Spider-Man.130Please respect copyright.PENANA0L3h7ybI0p
"You insolent insect! You dare to interfere with my plans? You'll pay for that!" He roared.130Please respect copyright.PENANAZx6Bq1VZYp
He charged at Spider-Man with his metal fists clenched.130Please respect copyright.PENANAf6YJvTc6Gw
Spider-Man dodged his punches and kicked him in the face.130Please respect copyright.PENANAMyRX8YbOv1
Doom: Ow! That hurt!130Please respect copyright.PENANAe8oZw4X3E8
Spiderman: You know what else hurts? This!" He said, shooting webbing into Doom's eyes.130Please respect copyright.PENANAE4JS3hg57B
Doom screamed and tried to wipe off the webbing.130Please respect copyright.PENANA7vmVb1s6A0
"Get this off me! You'll regret this, Spider-Man!" He shouted.130Please respect copyright.PENANAwAWsRZHPVT
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAwdzfE3YasR
"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No, it's, it's Superman!" He hollared.130Please respect copyright.PENANAOgoVSeYzXO
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANANdKA2gJbqA
"Spider-Man, are you okay?" Superman asked.130Please respect copyright.PENANAzmosavkYyW
Spiderman: (agitated)130Please respect copyright.PENANAjEJf4NDSeX
"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.130Please respect copyright.PENANADeXP40a42Y
"Great! The more the merrier!" Spider-Man said.130Please respect copyright.PENANAQETQJ5IKBP
He turned to Doom, who had recovered from the webbing and was staring at the newcomers with rage.130Please respect copyright.PENANAHfY8IKxr82
"Doom, meet the Justice League. Justice League, meet Doom. He's a jerk." Spider-Man introduced.130Please respect copyright.PENANAdL595JPwRc
"Doom does not care for your introductions. Doom only cares for your destruction!" Doom yelled.130Please respect copyright.PENANAc5klpSw2LY
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANApmJXfNFYDR
"My mask! You ruined my mask! You'll pay for that!" He screamed.130Please respect copyright.PENANATON29hMvI5
He threw his device at Superman, hoping to hit him with it. But quickly, Superman caught it and crushed it in his hands.130Please respect copyright.PENANARdUeFV4x6b
"Sorry, Doom. Your toy is broken." Superman said.130Please respect copyright.PENANAwjkjpUR2aK
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAHLBKppDXfq
"Give up, Doom. It's over." Superman said.130Please respect copyright.PENANAl84sWjsulX
"Never! Doom never gives up! Doom never surrenders! Doom will fight to the end!" Doom shouted.130Please respect copyright.PENANANogMDJbXF2
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAlncNKmlcbL
"Sorry, Doom. But I don't like loose ends." Hawkeye said.130Please respect copyright.PENANAixFmJxIQVW
Doom gasped and fell to the ground, dead.130Please respect copyright.PENANAGXfaLSvBCY
Spider-Man stared at Hawkeye in shock.130Please respect copyright.PENANAN1SQKMechg
"Hawkeye? You killed him?" He asked.130Please respect copyright.PENANAB5jfzo9R8k
Hawkeye shrugged.130Please respect copyright.PENANAeOZQQvADYE
"What? He was going to blow us all up anyway. I just saved us some time." He said.130Please respect copyright.PENANAJfrY1lPORV
Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief.130Please respect copyright.PENANA5ErQIu3ApB
"That's not how we do things here. We don't kill our enemies. We capture them and bring them to justice." He said.130Please respect copyright.PENANA4jAVJ4FQZ8
Hawkeye rolled his eyes.130Please respect copyright.PENANAdh0uW4W53G
"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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAYkfuBZieJE
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAJnDIMQbSrm
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAjKjqlFn8zK
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! We had some traffic issues." Iron Man said.130Please respect copyright.PENANAPC6cPN9PD2
Spider-Man smiled and waved at them.130Please respect copyright.PENANACmLcI30nCr
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming! We could use some help here." He said.130Please respect copyright.PENANAwH4N8Cg7fv
Iron Man looked around and saw the dead body of Doom and the now destroyed device.130Please respect copyright.PENANAn0efd8pKvJ
"Wow. Looks like you guys handled things pretty well without us." He said.130Please respect copyright.PENANAJTmBB4oNVp
Spider-Man pointed at Hawkeye.130Please respect copyright.PENANAEkzkhyF3JT
"Well, actually he did most of the work." He said.130Please respect copyright.PENANAUbFXzMXVIn
Iron Man looked at Hawkeye and raised an eyebrow.130Please respect copyright.PENANA0dz2iMSS2i
"Hawkeye? You killed Doom?" He asked.130Please respect copyright.PENANA369eh1C6p3
Hawkeye nodded proudly.130Please respect copyright.PENANAWNENyBSxa3
"Yup. I did." He said.130Please respect copyright.PENANASMNJbPb4Zu
Iron Man shook his head in disapproval.130Please respect copyright.PENANAEAOxS8n2mK
"Hawkeye... You know we don't kill our enemies." He said.130Please respect copyright.PENANAxWTFavKvFA
Hawkeye sighed and repeated what he had told Spider-Man earlier.130Please respect copyright.PENANAVXk82TMnVe
"Oh please. Don't give me that moral lecture..." He said.130Please respect copyright.PENANATiduRGreBg
Iron Man: Hawkeye, I'm serious. Killing is not our way.130Please respect copyright.PENANAh6cB2AEOSU
Hawkeye: Well maybe it should be.130Please respect copyright.PENANAeGtSK12cef
Iron Man: Hawkeye, it shouldn't. Killing is wrong. It's against the law. It's against our code of honor.130Please respect copyright.PENANAzbmSg5hEM0
Hawkeye: Code of honor? What code of honor? We're not knights in shining armor. We're soldiers. And soldiers kill their enemies.130Please respect copyright.PENANAr1xThfc8qp
Iron Man: We're not soldiers, Hawkeye. We're heroes. And heroes don't kill.130Please respect copyright.PENANAroYxv2FsoE
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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAeFcSv8BTY9
Tell that to the people who will die tomorrow because of villains we let live today.130Please respect copyright.PENANAnvlw6cANwG
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANA26jBHQqH18
Hawkeye: No, it will make us better than them. It will make us stronger. It will make us feared. It will make us respected.130Please respect copyright.PENANAw1IWHnMceZ
Iron Man: Feared? Respected? Is that what you want, Hawkeye? To be feared and respected? To be a killer?130Please respect copyright.PENANA8rWD426E4p
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAPCLvhTW3Nf
Iron Man: War? What war? There is no war, Hawkeye. There is only peace. And we're here to protect it.130Please respect copyright.PENANABKJzwLYdth
Hawkeye: Peace? There is no peace, Iron Man. There is only chaos. And we're here to end it.130Please respect copyright.PENANAn5FChemYyo
Iron Man: Hawkeye, you've lost your mind. You've gone too far. You've crossed a line you can't uncross.130Please respect copyright.PENANA9cUHCViunM
Hawkeye: No, Iron Man. I've opened my eyes. I've gone far enough. I've crossed a line you can't cross.130Please respect copyright.PENANA7LcAY5gcdN
The two heroes glare at each other, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.130Please respect copyright.PENANAhkQ53qLZEx
Spider-Man: Guys, guys! Calm down! This is not the time or the place for this! We have bigger problems to deal with!130Please respect copyright.PENANA8fj5YbORyt
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAqAtr9FcSmY
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANA8pCL4ZH7rW
Spider-Man: Look! Up in the sky!130Please respect copyright.PENANAMew5LZEaMi
Batman: Oh, no it can't130Please respect copyright.PENANAxcGw1hVN8a
be, not again!
Galactus, the world-eater, had arrived on Earth, looking for his stolen power.130Please respect copyright.PENANAIft6ZuSOq2
Galactus: Who dares to steal from Galactus? Who dares to defy Galactus? Who dares to face Galactus?130Please respect copyright.PENANARwthThj4b2
The heroes looked at each other in wonder and awe.130Please respect copyright.PENANALufwuh6nwz
Spider-Man: Uh-oh.130Please respect copyright.PENANArsV4izUa79
Batman: Oh crap!130Please respect copyright.PENANAx5Nf8WCH3K
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on the planet.130Please respect copyright.PENANABRp8IHKtRj
Galactus: Prepare to die, Earthlings!130Please respect copyright.PENANA9P8W6CLeoR
The superheroes braced themselves for a battle to the end.130Please respect copyright.PENANAkfulH62iP8
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of them.130Please respect copyright.PENANAYXr732OHYf
Galactus: What is this?130Please respect copyright.PENANAIRqx3nRwFP
A portal opened in the air, and a figure stepped out of it.130Please respect copyright.PENANAQWNDAB0n4g
Figure: Greetings, Earthlings!130Please respect copyright.PENANAXPboIBj5eE
The heroes recognized him as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.130Please respect copyright.PENANAH6IbYMJJVK
Doctor Strange: I'm here to help!130Please respect copyright.PENANAintdl0wjRc
Galactus recognized him as well.130Please respect copyright.PENANAbVJDiyqlCe
Galactus: You! You are the one who stole my power!130Please respect copyright.PENANAmpN6FaXe0m
Doctor Strange: Yes!130Please respect copyright.PENANApqQcYPFpVL
Galactus: I am Galactus, why did you do it? What did you want with it?130Please respect copyright.PENANANcRmHJ3Ivy
Doctor Strange: I did it to save the world, Galactus. I did it to stop you.130Please respect copyright.PENANAVbKDH4h8PE
Galactus: Stop me? How dare you try to stop me? You are nothing but a speck of dust in my eyes!130Please respect copyright.PENANAjDg00pcSq1
Doctor Strange: Maybe so, Galactus. But even a speck of dust can cause irritation.130Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ3DRSUXL1
Doctor Strange raised his hands and chanted a spell.130Please respect copyright.PENANAneQp9wwD0b
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!130Please respect copyright.PENANAl1ENTpewSx
A blast of mystical energy hit Galactus in the face, making him stagger back.130Please respect copyright.PENANAoVSeUAFuTG
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?130Please respect copyright.PENANAPUUBRR0Clr
You think you can banish me with your pathetic words? You are sadly mistaken, Doctor Strange. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAFGp1RVuMa1
You are doomed, Doctor Strange. You are dead! 130Please respect copyright.PENANADM7SsT58rI
Galactus raised his hand and prepared to unleash his cosmic wrath on Doctor Strange.130Please respect copyright.PENANATgqprCnoKl
Galactus: Prepare to die, Sorcerer!130Please respect copyright.PENANAtXAH0kBfgb
Doctor Strange braced himself for the blow.130Please respect copyright.PENANAziLdpkRvpQ
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the air.130Please respect copyright.PENANAZpmLcOrzmD
Galactus: What is that?130Please respect copyright.PENANAZP1pFElGmb
