The man called Strange picked himself up and spoke an incantation under his breath calling his staff to him. Crouching he said another small inaudible spell and his staff lit up a bit brighter healing the wounds he had taken with mystical force. The guy in the helmet showed up at the right time and place. Strange hadn't seen this one on the news like some of the others, but noted the dark clothes meant he probably avoided cameras. Marcus Dane stood, completely healed, and dusted his shoulder off. His eyes crackled white hot with mystical energy.

"It's okay, I remembered that teleportation spell." Strange spoke with a hand movement that sent the Thing into the Badlands with several savage Hulk type creatures around. 

"So... they call me Strange. Thanks for the assist." Dane said approaching the guy who'd just put down what was left of the remains of the last car he was beating the Thing with.

Spiderman got his game face back on and recovered from the attacks by the Vision android. Another player had hit the seen. Some guy with heavy artillery and a skull on his chest. Spiderman liked him already. Firing a few web lines at the Vision had him phasing out for a few moments and put his attention towards Spiderman. 

The Punisher broke out what looked to be a recalled nail gun from three decades ago that was taken off the shelf due to it's power being able to shoot a nine inch nail seventy-five feet. A few shots fired left the Vision in need of time to repair his robotic shoulder but Spiderman dealt a crippling blow nearly removing the arm completely. 

"You were supposed to send that back to Home Depot in the 70's," Spiderman said thwipping webs and swinging around the man clad in black, "...but this android must be something new Alchemax cooked up while I was away." 

"And you've gotta materialize to heal your robotics apparently, so I'll go ahead and make sure you're stuck there for at least..." Spiderman began taunting the grounded android and blasting him with net webbing before his wounds were healed enough to go intangible and escape. 

"Alchemax will be pleased to know you are not dead yet. We will be in touch, and next time I will not be alone." the Vision said disappearing through the cold streets of downtown NY.
