Chapter 38: Full Thanos Mode
The battlefield was chaos.
The Kaiju roared, its glowing spines flashing violently as it reared back, preparing to unleash an apocalyptic-level blast. The dimensional rifts above pulsed, growing wider, as if reality itself was on the verge of collapse.
Homelander? Furious.
Alex? Panicking.
Deadpool? Loving every second of this.
And then—
Alex clenched his fist.
As soon as he did, the Infinity Gauntlet flared up, the stones humming with immeasurable power.
WHOOSH.
The wind shifted. Reality tilted for a second. The ground cracked beneath his feet.
Alex didn't even need to think.
He just… acted.
His mind screamed to stop the Kaiju's attack—
The Gauntlet listened.
The Snap (But Not That One)
With zero experience, zero training, and 100% raw instinct, Alex did the first thing that came to his mind.
He swiped his hand.
BZZZZZZZT.
The Space Stone flickered.
And just like that, the Kaiju's mouth snapped shut.
Literally.
Like an invisible force had slammed its jaw closed.
It stumbled back, confused.
Homelander, watching from a distance, lost it.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! HE CAN DO THAT?!"
Deadpool was on the ground laughing.
"HAHAHAHA! HE JUST MUTED THE MONSTER! THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!"
Alex, still wide-eyed, looked down at the Gauntlet.
"...That worked?"
Then—
The Kaiju's eyes burned brighter.
And the sky itself trembled.
The Kaiju's Revenge
It reared back, its entire body glowing red-hot.
And then—
It slammed both hands into the ground.
BOOOOOOOM.
A shockwave of pure destruction erupted outward.
Buildings collapsed instantly. The ground split open. Fire and debris shot into the air like a volcanic eruption.
Every single person—Avenger, Supe, Anti-Hero, or Psychopath—was sent flying.
Deadpool screamed as he was launched through the sky.
"NEW YOOOOOOORK, I'M SOOOORRRYYYYY!"
Steve barely managed to dig his shield into the ground to stop himself from being blasted away.
Tony's suit systems overloaded. His HUD flickered violently as he tumbled through the air.
Butcher slammed into a flipped-over car, groaning. "F*** me sideways…"
Homelander? Still floating.
Still angry.
Homelander's Tantrum, Part 2
"NO. NO! THIS IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS!"
Homelander blitzed toward Alex again, glowing eyes locked on him.
Alex barely had time to react.
WHOOSH.
The Time Stone pulsed.
Homelander suddenly stopped mid-air, frozen once again.
His expression was pure rage.
Alex, panting, stared at him.
"...Dude. Chill."
And with a casual flick of his wrist—
Homelander was yeeted backward at Mach speed.
CRASH.
Deadpool landed next to Alex in a superhero pose.
"Bro. Bro. You just reverse-uno'd Homelander."
Alex ran a hand down his face. "This is too much power for me."
And Then, Out of Nowhere—
A voice.
"Uhhh, hey. What the actual hell is going on?"
WHOOSH.
A figure zipped down from above, landing effortlessly on the broken remains of a streetlight.
Red and blue suit.White eye lenses.Signature web shooters on the wrists.
Spider-Man.
Everyone froze.
Even Deadpool.
Spidey stared at the battlefield.
The Kaiju.The burning city.The Avengers, The Boys, and The Seven all looking like they'd been through ten rounds of hell.
And Alex, just… standing there, glowing like a cosmic god.
Peter pointed at Alex. "Yeah. No offense, but who the hell are you, and why do you look like Thanos went to Comic-Con?"
Alex blinked. "Oh, um… hi?"
Tony, still recovering, groaned. "Oh great. Now the kid shows up."
Peter gestured wildly.
"Okay, so let me get this straight—"
"—There's a kaiju in the middle of New York—"
"—The city is literally on fire—"
"—And I just watched Homelander get punted across Manhattan by some random guy with a glowing space mitten?" (comic reverse sh*t, told ya!)
Deadpool popped up next to him.
"YES. ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?!"
Spidey sighed. "Man, I was just gonna grab some pizza…"
The Kaiju, still standing, let out another ear-splitting roar.
The battle wasn't over.
But now?
They had one more hero in the mix.
Peter cracked his knuckles. "Alright, guess I'm doing overtime."
He pointed at Alex.
"You. Shiny hands. We're talking later."
And just like that—
Spider-Man was in the fight.
