The Shadow Spider

ARC SEVEN · AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY, PART 2. The suit comes back. The name comes with it. And for the first time, Doom turns his head.

THE BLACK CAME UP HIS ARMS LIKE COMING HOME. THIS TIME — HE WAS IN CHARGE.

"Rules. One: we don't kill. Two: we let go when the fight's done. Three: I name us, not you."

// THE SUIT

"…name. us."

The Shadow Spider stands tall in his black suit at sunset on a Brooklyn rooftop, silver spider emblem
HE LIFTED THE TRUCK. THE KID RAN HOME. AND ZACHARY SILVA STOOD UP AS SOMETHING NEW.

"Tell the Avengers — Spider's down. Tell 'em the SHADOW SPIDER is up."

ROOSEVELT ISLAND. THE SHADOW SPIDER HIT DOOM SO HARD THE BRIDGE RANG.
DOOOM!
// DOOM

"…you. Doom SEES you now, child. Good. Doom prefers his insects with teeth."

// NARRATION

He fought for six hours. He held a line on the FDR with Cap and Storm and a frost giant nobody had introduced him to. The black suit kept his ribs in place. The black suit caught a Doombot fist that would have ended him.

THE LINE HELD. UNTIL IT DIDN'T.

"Shadow Spider — listen to me. Doom is folding the universes. Anyone we lose tonight is gone EVERYWHERE. Get the civilians off the island. NOW."

// NARRATION

He got 8,114 people off Roosevelt Island. The suit purred the whole time. Pleased. Useful. Patient.

// NARRATION

Then the sky tore one more time. And the world Zachary knew — folded shut.
