Doom’s Arrival Through the Rift

A bolt of unnatural lightning tears the sky open, and the city lights flicker like reality

just blinked. Charles feels the shift instantly. Something powerful has crossed over.

Spider-Man swings in, chasing the crackling trail, but the air ahead

twists like a wound in space. From that tear, Doom steps out, silent,

certain, claiming the storm's energy as his own. In seconds, the streets turn

to rubble and the sky fractures wider, because this wasn't a strike. It was Doom's arrival.
