Shiva is the Hindu god of destruction and meditation.

Pennywise is the demonic clown from the iconic American horror novel It (Stephen King).

Shiva represents the calm use of power, while Pennywise represents the angst associated with criminal anarchy.

This is a story of these two avatars coming to life and affecting humanity's attitudes towards comic books.

A group of young Americans, all comic book fans and Ouija fans and part of a secret club called the Dark Crystal, decided to use their Ouija board one Friday night and state the following incantation, "We request the spirits of Shiva and Pennywise come to life and make society more excited about comic book superheroes and super-villains." To their amazement, Shiva and Pennywise appeared and said, "We'll see what we can do."

Shiva and Pennywise noticed that Hollywood (USA) was making countless comic book adapted films such as "Iron Man" [2008] and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" [2014]. Shiva decided to transform himself into a real Spider-Man, and Pennywise, to serve as the Devil's Advocate, decided to transform himself into Spidey's nemesis, the unpredictable and terrifying Carnage.

The Dark Crystal club members were walking around New York City on Saturday night, when suddenly they realized that someone (or something) that looked like the real Spider-Man was soaring around on spider-webs across the city skyline. They were shocked, but one member said, "I bet that's Shiva! He's transformed himself into Spider-Man. Where's Pennywise?"

A moment later, they realized that someone (or something) that looked like the real Carnage (Spidey's most terrifying nemesis) was leaping across the city's building rooftops. They wondered what would happen as crowds and news crews gathered around the scene. Spider-Man (Shiva) noticed Carnage (Pennywise) leaping across the rooftops, so he started soaring towards the ghoul.

As soon as Carnage saw Spider-Man, he jumped up and wrestled him to the ground. Spider-Man got back up and shot webs all across Carnage's face. Carnage was full of energy and began running at Spider-Man, swinging his claws around, almost as if he didn't care that he couldn't see through the thick layer of webs across his face and eyes.

Spider-Man jumped up and grabbed Carnage by the shoulders and swung him around and dropped him to the ground. Carnage got back up and scratched the webs off his face and then lunged at Spider-Man's legs and began clawing away. Spidey was scratched up but managed to shoot webs to tie up Carnage's arms and legs.

Spider-Man then hoisted Carnage to the top of a building and tied him up in a thick web cocoon. He then grabbed a megaphone and said, "This little feat is to remind you that comic book films are meant to stir excitement and dissuade people from terrorism and vigilantism." Just then, Carnage swooped by, grabbed Spider-Man's megaphone (having somehow freed himself from the web cocoon) and used it to state, "This little feat is also to remind you that comic book films are meant to stir the dark side of the imagination." Then, the two disappeared.

The Dark Crystal members promised never to do their Ouija incantation again. One member decided to begin working for the New Yorker and published a series of pieces about the Shiva-Pennywise/Spidey-Carnage incident titled, "The Gargoyles that Changed Comic Book Fanfare." The pieces became very popular.

Years later, Pennywise visited Shiva high on his mountain and found the god sitting and meditating. Pennywise asked Shiva, "Should we have interfered in the ways of men with that comic book avatar stunt?" to which Shiva replied, "All we did was provide a vigilantism illusion."
