Issue 1: Quest for Power

Manhattan, New York (One month before "The Pulse" event)

In the middle of the proud and busy city of New York, everyone from humans to mutants are enjoying a nice, relaxing afternoon. People are chatting with their friends and family. Small-time crooks are effortlessly beaten by the police. And best of all, no superpowered threat that could determine the fate of the entire planet. Even if there was one, the world's mightiest heroes ranging from the Avengers to the largest military faction that is S.H.I.E.L.D. will always be there to answer the call to protect their planet and the universe.

Right now, a small group of those famous heroes, the Fantastic Four, are currently racing through the skies of Manhattan in their Fantasti-Car to chase their arch-nemesis, and possibly the most dangerous man in the entire world, Doctor Victor von Doom, or Dr. Doom for short.

"Let me drive, Stretch!" Ben Grimm, also known as the Thing, ask Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, to let him drive the hover car to chase Doom.

"Leave him alone, Ben." Sue Storm, also known as the Invisible Woman, said to Ben.

"What is Doom thinking? Attacking us in our own home?" Johnny Storm, better known as the hot-streak Human Torch, wonders about his own question and Doom's motives.

"Doom is one of the smartest people on the planet," Reed Richards answered the hot-streak. "He knew the only way past my high-tech security was a surprise mystical attack like this. He took something of mine, and I'd like to know what." He said as they continue chasing Doom through the Big Apple.

"Reed, babe, let me go for it. I can do it." Johnny requested to take on Doom by himself.

"Be careful!" Reed advised him, knowing his cocky recklessness.

"Be MORE than careful!" Johnny's older sister further advised her brother.

The Human Torch turns up the heat with his signature catchphrase, "Flame On," and quickly catches up to Doom, only for the Latverian Monarch to easily hear him coming and divert him away from his trail, leading the idiot FF hero to hit the side of a building.

"Great job yelling 'Flame On' so he knows you're coming." Ben sarcastically congratulate his dim-witted flame friend.

"Don't lose him." Susan said, with her family continuing the great chase of Dr. Doom throughout the city, but still isn't making any progress in catching up with him.

"Ah, excuse me, he's getting away!" Ben told the others of Doom's escape.

"I got this." Sue uses her cosmic invisibility powers to mentally blow up Doom's small air-cycle. "I believe a 'boo-yeah' is in order." She said with a fist bump.

The Latverian King tries his best to regain control over his air-cycle but fails and is blown out of the air, with some additional sun burn to the back thanks to Johnny, "I did say 'Flame On', so don't act all surprised." As Doom is falling to his defeat, he cast a quick mystic spell that temporarily turns off Johnny's flames. "Flame on, flame on, FLAME ON! I-HELP!" He screams for his life when he notices he's falling to his doom. Thankfully, Reed and his big, elastic hand catches him before that happens.

"Gotcha!" Richards said.

"Freakin' black magic, it is not fair!" Johnny complained.

Doom falls to the concrete hard on his back but was able to brush it off, with the Thing jumping out of the Fantasti-Car to finish the job. "Guess what time it is?" He asked the supposed beaten Doom.

"Prattling moron." Doom said, unamused. He effortlessly uppercuts the walking orange brick in the stomach, knocking him straight through a nearby glass window. "You insipid trolls. I was born of-." And was then cut off by a surprise light blue barrier made by Susan Storm as she and the rest of the Fantastic Four land next to metal face.

"Force field. You're under arrest, Dr. Doom." Susan said to Victor.

"Do you, uh, have the authority to arrest him, sis?" Johnny asked her sister.

"Sure, why not?" Susan replies.

"You break into our home. You attack us in front of our children." Reed starts a conversation with his nemesis in science and other things.

"I am your superior in EVERY conceivable way, Richards. You will learn to respect me, even if it's with your dying breath." Doom threatened the elastic man, even though he can't do much inside that force field.

"Speaking of breath, have you tried flossing?" The Thing made a clever quip towards the evil doctor.

"Ah snap!" Johnny commented.

"Children!" Doom insulted his arch-enemies, using his mastery over magic to unleash a powerful explosion that knocks away the superhero family and leaves him to escape with a teleportation spell undisturbed.

"Uh! Get ready for it. He's around here somewhere." Johnny said when the four gets up from the ground.

"He's gone." Reed said, noticing that Doom is long gone from the area now.

"Good." Ben remarked.

"Did he kill himself, because really that would be awesome." Johnny wondered.

"No one with the ego of Victor von Doom would EVER kill themselves." Susan told her younger brother.

"Well…no, that's true." Johnny responded.

Meanwhile, Reed is looking back at a holographic image of the Baxter Building from his tablet, still trying to figure out what and why Doom invade their home, "He took something from me. I know it."

Latveria, Doom's Castle

Later that afternoon, far away in the country of Latveria, ruled by their king that is Doctor Doom, the egotistical monarch retreated back to the insides of his medieval-styled palace to his medieval-styled laboratory.

"That egotistical fool thought it would be simple enough to attack him. I was there searching. Searching to see if Richards have what I need in his possession, but I see he does not. Everything he has, I have," Doom said while looking at a holographic image of the Baxter Building from his armor's gauntlets. "Why? Why does this power elude me?" He brings up pop-up screens of the many countries and famous locations in the world, including many Hydra bases, the Savage Land, and high-security prisons. "I have searched the world. I have studied magics that do not exist anymore. I have conquered EVERY science. All I see are these artifacts…" All the screens are replaced with images of ancient relics of great power. "Powerful as they are, they will not bring me my heart's desire…but they could defeat me if in the right hands. They must be dealt with. It is time to look past this dimension."

With his incredible magic, Doom teleports himself to a strange, cosmic dimension where everything looks unnatural and makes no sense whatsoever, but the person, or demon, who rules this dimension wouldn't have it any other way.

"Dormammu!" Doom calls out to the ruler of this 'Dark Dimension'.

Rising up from the great flames of the Dark Dimension, the Dread Ruler, Dormammu, appears right a couple feet tall before the wicked doctor of Earth. "Mortal…"

"My name is-."

"Victor von Doom." Dormammu finished for Victor.

"I come here offering trade." Doom proposes to the cosmic demon.

"And what is it you have to offer?" He asked.

"I can offer you your earthbound enemies. I can give you Dr. Strange, or anyone else that has kept you from seeking your fortune." Doom offered to the flaming ruler of this wacky dimension.

"And in return?" Dormammu asked.

"Power."

"What kind of power?"

"The kind of power you possess. The kind of power that would make the earthly plane tremble." Doom explained.

"I must say it is interesting that you come to me with this, because I cannot think of anything I would like LESS than YOU with that kind of power." The Dread Lord said to Doom, knowing that it is a very BAD idea to give someone like him that kind of power.

"Speak wisely, demon." Doom warned him with an imposing tone.

"How would helping you, the most power hungry mortal in the earthly plane, how would giving you access to that kind of power being my best interest?" The Fire Lord questioned the not good doctor.

"Because of what you get in return." Doom told him.

"I'll be honest with you, Victor, I don't see this happening." Dormammu charges up a red mystical beam of energy in his left palm and fires it at Doom, who managed to defend himself and counter with his own green mystic magic, but the attack barely fazes the Dark Lord. "I wonder, Doom. Is this still about your poor, dead gypsy mother?" That question angered Doom to new heights, attacking Dormammu with an even stronger mystic wave, which starts to irritate the evil one despite not doing any damage. "It takes a special kind of mortal arrogance, to think so well of yourself, when there is so MUCH evidence to the contrary!" The cosmic demon attacks Doom with another mystical attack, weakening the man's armor and mystical defenses to the point of kneeling to the ground, wounded, while Dormammu charges up one, last attack to finish him off. "As much as I would like to see you flail in agony for the rest of your days…" He attacks Doom with his dark magic, causing him to scream in great pain as he feels himself slipping away. "I believe I will cast you out whence you came, with a lesson…"

Instead of killing him, Dormammu sends Victor back to his throne room in Castle Doom, weakened and could barely stand on his two feet, but could still hear the words of the demon talking inside his head, 'Learn your place, doctor, or it will be the end of you.'

"NO!" Doom shouted and screams in anger to the ceilings of his giant throne chamber, in the back of his mind wondering what in the world he should do next to gain power to control all life in the Earth.

KFX here: Here's a short, 4-issue, prequel story of what's going to happen in the next main story in the United Heroes series, "D-Avengers: Spider Island DX", giving us a glimpse of what Dr. Doom's been doing before and during the events of my previous entries. Yes, I know this entire first chapter, and a bit of the later chapters, are almost one-for-one of the official Marvel Motion Comic, "Marvel Heroes: The Chronicles of Doom" that you can find online on YouTube, but I loved them and I promised later chapters will be more original.
