Biography[]
Early Life[]
Lonnie Lincoln was born in Harlem, New York. And sometime after he grew up, he was being exposed to either to a serum that made his skin light grey and gave him superhuman abilities, becoming the gangster known as Tombstone, as well as one of the many supervillains that Spider-Man has fought in his ten years as a superhero. He was also, at some later point in time, recruited by the Kingpin to be his second-in-command and empirical bodyguard, as well as chief of security at Fisk Industries, and to assist him in his plan with the Super Collider.
Collider Crisis[]
Following Alchemax's construction of the Collider, Tombstone was seen in the testing area's control room with the scientists when Kingpin arrived and introduced the machine to Spider-Man (who was trying to stop it, fearing it would end up destroying the city if used) and had it activated while the latter was fighting with the Green Goblin and the Prowler inside of the testing room. However, as a result of Green Goblin shoving Spider-Man into the Super Collider's energy in an attempt to kill him, the machine overloaded, throwing Kingpin, Tombstone, and the scientists back in the resulting explosion, while Green Goblin was simultaneously killed in the latter with Spider-Man being mortally wounded as a result. Tombstone, Kingpin and Prowler confront the gravely injured Spider-Man shortly afterwards (following him giving the USB drive designed to destroy the Collider to Miles Morales, entrusting him to destroy the machine) and he bears witness to Kingpin killing Spider-Man in response to him stating that Kingpin's plans for the Collider won't work.
Later, Tombstone joins Kingpin on his visit to Alchemax, where the latter pressures Olivia Octavius to fix the Super Collider, regarding the restoration of the collider when three Spider-People escaped the facility with Doc Ock's computer. Seeing Fisk's expression, Tombstone was quick to draw his guns on Doc Ock, who immediately retaliated by choking Tombstone with her mechanical claws in defense. Tombstone only stood down at Fisk's silent command.
The next day, Prowler led them to a house in Queens to ambush the Spider-Gang to retrieve, or destroy, the goober. Prowler managed to track down their location through the new Spider-Man, which Tombstone pointed out and mocked the boy for. This led to a battle, and the owner of the house, May Parker was furious and kept trying to kick them out to prevent further destruction of her home, at one point hitting Tombstone with a baseball bat, catching him off guard enough that he fell and was pushed out of the house.
Later that night, he was at the party thrown by Fisk at Fisk Tower, serving as security for Fisk and the Super-Collider which they intended to run again that night, having correctly anticipated the interception of the Spider-People. Once their arrival in the underground location of the collider was announced, he, Scorpion, and Doc Ock arrived and fought them back. Tombstone went up against the Noir Spider-Man and was quickly overpowered, and Tombstone was no longer able to fight back when he was hit by a stray car from another dimension in the chaos.
Tombstone survived the blow and after the destruction of the collider, Tombstone was found, arrested and placed into a patrol car by Officer Jefferson Morales.
Personality[]
As Kingpin's right-hand man, Tombstone is shown to be generally stern and silent, only ever standing by his side to intimidate and serve as muscle. Despite his general stoic nature, he seems to take pleasure in his violent work, mocking Miles for leading them to the rest of the Spider-Gang.
Abilities[]
- Nigh invulnerability: Though still seemingly susceptible to some pain, Tombstone is highly resistant to physical injury, having survived having a car crashing into him and quickly recovering from blows dealt to him.
- Expert combatant: Tombstone is a skilled fighter, enough to be hired by Fisk for protection, despite the man's own strength. He was able to hold his own against Spider-Man Noir in hand-to-hand combat.
Equipment[]
- Twin pistols : A twin pistols he used to fight.
- Brass knuckles : A brass knuckles he used to fight.
Trivia[]
