WHAT IF

VOLUME I

BY yodaman

Life. What is life? Is it the thing that makes us what we are? Is it some supernatural force that creates and destroys us? Or is it the chain of events that make up each of our days? Either way, life goes on and on and the events that happen to and around you happen and never change. But, what if they changed? What if the world you knew had been "re-imagined"? Would it be for the better? For the worse? Would the whole entire world be at stake or would nothing at all change at these courses of events? Some people wonder. And this is for those people who wonder. Today's question is: "What if the heroes we know and trust became the villains we hate and despise?" I am here to answer this question in this special edition of "What If". So sit back. The nature of the universe waits.

Issue I

Mirage

Nick Rogers was your everyday policeman. He spend every single day guarding the doors to Spyder electronics, a large, skyscraper sized building smack in the middle of New York City. His job was to guard the doors of the warehouse. He didn't know why anyone would want to guard the warehouse, but he did his job like always, which was really boring.

"Tom", said Nick to his partner. "Anything new happening?"

"No", said Tom. "Today's a sale, though".

"Spyder always has sales", said Nick. "That's why they had enough money to make the store a skyscraper, you idiot.'

"Sorry", said Tom. "What about the baddies?"

"Nothing special", said Nick. "Spider-Man killed Electra, though. I think it was a gunfight or something"

"No way", said Tom. "Elektra has those gun things".

"Oh", said Tom. "Well, it's not like they're going to come get us or anything". Then, almost right on cue, two arrows shot through the room. One hit Tom in the throat, and the other hit Nick in the forehead. They both died instantly. Then Hawkeye, member of the Avengers, walked into the room.

"All clear", said Hawkeye. Then the rest of the present Avengers (Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, and Ant Man) walked into the room.

"Spread out", said Captain America. "Make sure no one else is alive. Expect company soon as well. You know what to do." Black Widow and Ant Man walked into the warehouse, while Hawkeye guarded the place and the Captain and Thor looked out the window. Then several screams were heard inside the warehouse (in which Black Widow and Ant Man were killing everyone), but another faint noise could be heard. It sounded like the sound of an army approaching.

"The enemy doth approach", said Thor. Captain America and Hawkeye then took defensive positions. A few seconds later, they then made the sound out as a bunch of police officers heading towards them, ready to arrest them. Captain America then picked up his shield and threw it. It knocked down about ten of the officers, but more kept coming.

"Don't worry", said Hawkeye. "I'll pick 'em off before they get a cha- " Then, out of nowhere, bullets flew everywhere, hitting each of the Avengers. Then the policemen disappeared and in their place came Dr. Doom, Deadpool, Sabretooth, Mysterio, and Shocker.

"Doom", said Captain America. "This ends now".

"Yes", said Doom. "It will". The two groups then just stared at each other without blinking or making a single sound.

"WE FIGHT!!!" yelled Thor. Then each of the superheroes clashed in a big super powered fight. Now, you might think these are the characters you know and read about in those comic book things, but these are not them. This story is set in another dimension, where the heroes you've grown to love are the villains you hate and the villains you hate are the heroes you must trust. This world is a cruel and vile world that most people would not be fond of staying or visiting. The world is run by a corrupt Peter Parker who is warring with other superheroes for ultimate control of the world, and there is a rebellion (as you already know). So anyway..

As the group fought with each other, Deadpool sneakily walked away from the brawl and into the storage room. As he walked in, he saw blood and gore everywhere from the job that Black Widow and Antman did. He didn't care about the gore, so he just ran up the steps that obviously led to the technology that they were trying to get. He then walked into each of the dozens of rooms on each floor to look for the technology, but he was unsuccessful. He then walked to each floor and finally he reached the top floor, which only had one room.

"Bingo", said Deadpool. He then walked in and saw a big machine. This had to be the one Doom talked about. It was so huge and beautiful. He walked up to it to touch it but he felt a punch from behind. He then turned around and saw Black Widow. He then unsheathed his swords and slashed them and her. She used her enhanced reflexes to dodge all the slashes, so Deadpool got tired after a while, so he threw his blades at her while drawing his gun. While she dodged the swords, he aimed at her forehead and shot her. She died instantly. He then walked up to the machine and looked at all the switches. There was a bunch of different colored ones that surrounded one big one. He was about to push the big one when he heard a voice.

"Deadpool", said the voice. It was Captain America. "Don't push the button. You don't know what you're doing".

"Like I'd listen to you?" asked Deadpool. He pushed the button and then the world went blank for a few seconds. Then it went un-blank and realized he was in the middle of New York City, but it wasn't the New York City he knew. This one was cleaner and had more buildings. It wasn't the war-ravaged New York he was used to. He then realized what the machine was for. It was a dimension-traveling machine.
