DC & Marvel: Overpower Issue #2 -

It was a normal day in New York City as the Teen Titans Superboy, Spiderman, and Raven scanned the downtown area for any criminal activity. Superboy expressed his feelings to Spiderman that Superboy wanted the Spiderman to stay at the Titans Tower in Fawcett City. Spiderman's symbiote suit had been 'mutating' and Superboy was concerned for the endurance of his long-time partner.

Superboy felt alright, though, when the Spiderman spotted the body of a dead thug on the streets of Time Square. The Titans descended onto the streets to investigate it, but things turned awry when Spiderman attacked Superboy. Spiderman then went on to attack the new Titan Raven. After a brutal assault on Raven Superboy took action and began a battle with his best friend.

The battle took place in the streets of Time Square as Superboy attempted to subdue, not hurt, Spiderman. Superboy and Spiderman continued to attack each other while Raven recovered from her assault. The Spiderman put Superboy into a 'coccoon' of web as the mutated symbiote incited another attack on Raven.

After Superboy escaped from the web coccoon, he and Spiderman had one last scuffle before the mutated Spiderman disappeared into the darkness. Superboy confessed the fact that the Titans would need some help as the Spiderman, a long time ally and friend, was now his biggest enemy.





After the Symbiote Suit took over Spiderman, the mutated hero took a strange turn by attacking his former allies Superboy and Raven. After a grueling battle on the streets of New York City, the Titans warded off the Symbiote Spiderman and headed back to California to spearhead the search for their ally.

With 24 hours gone by, the Superboy realized that if he ever wanted to see his best friend, Peter Parker, again, he would have to travel to Gotham. There he saught the wisdom of the Batman. After locating the Batcave the Superboy and Iceman met up with the Dark Knight in his own abode.

The Batman cut straight to the point when it came to the Spiderman. During an earlier battle with the menacing Venom, the Batman had managed to get a tissue sample of the 'suit' Venom and Spiderman shared. Using the bottomless funds of the Wayne family Batman performed many diagnostic tests on the piece of suit. The Batman had found out one thing: It was not from Earth.

After a meeting with the Batman, Superboy was most concerned to hear that Venom and Spiderman would be coming after the Symbiote Suit. Keeping the Batman's safety in the back of his head the Superboy took Iceman for one last sweep of Manhattan before maximum carnage erupted.



The deranged symbiote-controlled Spiderman has been in hiding ever since brutally attacking his fellow Titan members as it seems as the piece of the symbiote that Batman stole is "calling" for him...and the other symbiotes. Spiderman was quickly attacked by a violent Venom in a deadly sneak-attack as the two clashed until the short brawl was broken up by Cletus Kassidy...now known as Carnage.

This was indeed a deadly family-reunion of symbiotes as Carnage as felt the "calling" from the missing symbiote as well and has decided its time to have his sibling returned. "The Teen Titans will lead Batman to us...then we shall strike...but he will not be alone...we shall bring forth his weakness...his fear of losing yet another sidekick to boot...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

A sense of animosity could be sense between Carnage and Venom as it truely seems deep down inside the symbiotes do hate eachother...but it wouldn't matter as dark times are ahead this deadly alliance quickly begins to take shape...




The bizarre activity of the captured symbiote shard worried Batman as he decided to assemble Batgirl and Nightwing as they would travel to New York City to face the symbiote trio before they could bring the danger to Gotham. By air using the Batwing, Batman also brought with him the prototype sonic rifle developed by WayneTech since he will use there weakness of sonic waves against them. New York City was under the fear of the chaos as Venom, Carnage and Spiderman were terrorizing downtown Times Square.

They quickly engaged taunts with the Bat-Family but Batman’s skill of intimidation drove them into battle. Venom and Nightwing engaged in a brutal fight as both adversaries were evenly matched. Batgirl and the Symbiote Spiderman fought it out as well as Batgirl hoped to prove Batman that there was much more to her than meets the eye. The fight between Batman and Carnage quickly ended as Batman surprised the symbiotic psychopath with a blast from the sonic rifle as it tore the living suit apart. Nightwing quickly used the chance to attack Carnage after knocking Venom off a building and used his amazing fighting skills to knock around the weakened Kassidy. Batman then focused his efforts to the ailing Batgirl who was pinned down by Spiderman’s webbing as Batman attacked the possessed web-slinger with a sonic blast. The shed of humanity left in Spiderman was shown but the blast wasn’t strong enough to destroy the symbiote suit as Batman quickly slammed a kick into the gut of Peter Parker before the symbiote could regenerate and pinned him against a wall continuing the fight with a few fists to the adolescent hero-turned-villain. Batman was caught off guard as Venom took the sonic rifle from his hands and fired it at Batman, slamming him through a store window. Spiderman attacked the downed Batman, quickly seizing the moment.

Batgirl quickly tried to help her mentor by wrapping up Venom with a grapple launcher but Carnage threw a parked car towards her but Nightwing quickly moved her out of the way from its path. Nightwing used his skillful escrima skills and bashed and battered Venom but Carnage and Spiderman quickly took Batgirl hostage demanding there “brother” back. Batman expressed to them that if they were to harm her there would be no deal as the memories of Jason Todd’s death plagued his mind. Batman held back the enraged Nightwing as the symbiotes took off with Batgirl but Nightwing ran off after them disobeying Batman’s orders. Batman stood there beaten…realizing he cannot do this alone…




It was a normal evening in New York City as the Dark Knight of Gotham City called a meeting with the members of the Teen Titans. Within minutes the Superboy and Iceman met with Batman and were filled in of the dire situation regarding Batgirl’s kidnapping. The Batman entered the Batwing and the took to the sky with the Teen Titans as they searched for the Batgirl. Using the LexCorp technologies to locate the signal of the Batgirls’ communicator. Having a little more luck then Nightwing, who had been searching for Batgirl since her disappearance, the Batman and the Titans locked in on the commuinicator of Batgirl.

Heading to lower Queens New York the Batman, Superboy, and Iceman were ambushed by Venom and Spiderman. A fight broke out between the Titans and the Symbiote Monsters as Batman fired HS-Missiles from Lexcorp at Venom. Venom retreated into the rafters for a small time as Superboy grappled with Spiderman. As Iceman attempted to save Batgirl, who was trapped in a web-coccoon, the Spiderman grabbed a hold of her. Threatening to answer any movement by the Titans with the death of Batgirl the Spiderman dropped Batgirl to the ground...




Acting quickly the Batman flew down the building-side using his Batwing as he desperately attempted to save his apprentice and friend. Batman quickly saved the Batgirl using the Batwing as he retreated to Wayne Manor, concerned with the safety of Miss Gordon. The Superboy and Iceman fended off the Symbiote creatures as Superboy faught with the Spiderman over the streets of Queens... Spiderman prooved too good for Superboy as he decimated the artificial Kryptonian.

After a death-defying battle with Spiderman and Venom the Teen Titans retreated. Batman engaged in battle with Venom and with Venom caught off guard the Dark Knight subdued Venom. Leaving Venom, the Batman regrouped with the Teen Titans and informed them that Batgirl would be fine. The Superboy was hot from the battle with Spiderman as he was very angry that he wasn't able to bring Peter Parker back to Titan's Tower with his team. Little did they know that Cletus Kassidy, better known as Carnage, was watching from overhead. He gave a piercing laugh and swore to himself that the battle for the symbiote was not over...


It was an early evening in New York City. The Dark Knight and his disciples had returned to the Big Apple to aide the Teen Titans in the capture of Spiderman, who had recently gone AWOL. The Batman and Batgirl stood atop a building in Times Square while Azrael and Nightwing searched the city for the symbiote monsters.

It was the symbiote that would come to them, though, it seemed. After a quick talk on the roofs of Manhattan, the group of heroes were somewhat shocked to hear police sirens going off in the distance. The Superboy, hoping for another chance to subdue his partner, flew off toward the sirens without a word to Batman or his female counterpart. Suddenly the Batmobile leapt onto the building that Batman was standing on and the two got into the car and headed toward the sirens at speeds of about 250 mph.




As the Batmobile headed toward the scene of the crime, Superboy discovered that Cletus Kassidy, better known as Carnage, was killing policemen in the streets. The Superboy and Carnage exchanged blows but Carnage quickly leapt on top of Superboy. Carnage fashioned a spiked tentacle out of his stomach and sent it into Superboy. The Superboy was shocked that Carnage could hurt him and was quickly defeated. Carnage threw the Superboy at the Batmobile, but that didn’t stop it from landing on Carnage.

After examining the battlegrounds, Batman saw no sign of Carnage. Carnage was quickly re-animating behind the Batman and soon the symbiote attacked both Batman and Batgirl. Batgirl went down quickly and Batman put up as much of a fight as he could before evading Carnage and calling for his teammates Nightwing and Azrael.

With no response from Nightwing or Azrael the Batman and Superboy continuously attacked Carnage one after another. Superboy was being reckless and was subdued by Carnage. After a heroic battle with Carnage, the Batman was in a tight spot. The Superboy with one lasting effort tackled Carnage into a car and rescued the Batman. Carnage lashed out at Superboy and defeated him, leaving Batman as the lead role in the fight against Carnage. The Batgirl used a medical kit on Superboy which gave him enough strength to live and fight again.

At this point the reinforcements arrived for Batman, Batgirl, and Superboy. Raven, Nightwing, and Azrael appeared and each of them took a turn fighting with Carnage, each of them doing great but in the end, being defeated. Azrael used his flaming blades against Carnage but it just wasn’t enough. Raven’s powers over inanimate objects also wasn’t enough. Nightwing attempted to fight but he was subdued by Carnages’ tentacles. Shortly after this Carnage escaped, having his fill of mayhem for the evening…

Though Carnage was gone, Nightwing (much to the dismay of Batman and Co.) decided to go after the creature Venom. After tracking down Venom, Nightwing fought with Venom. The battle took place in New York City and the blows dealt by the opponents were strong enough to quake the city. In the end, both of the fighters were near death and the Batman told Venom to back off and lick his wounds. Although they had all survived, Batman and Co. still were holding what would be the object of their demise; The single piece of symbiote suit…
