“	Out of my way, little man--Tombstone's* back to stay!*	„
	~ Tombstone

“	I'm not worried about you getting hurt. I'm worried about what you'll see. You're the reason I bought that mansion. Capped my teeth. I wanted to be a calmer man. I wanted to be your dad. But now I gotta protect what's mine. The only way I know how to do that is ugly. You think you wanna stick around to help me, but the man who's gonna handle this... he'snot your dad.	„
	~ Tombstone

Biography[]

Lonnie Lincoln was born an albino, and therefore received much ridicule at high school. However, one student did not ridicule him, and this was Joe "Robbie" Robertson. This made him strangely loyal to his "friend", but did not stop him from intimidating Robertson, who planned a story that for the school paper exposing Lonnie as an extortionist. After High School Lonnie and Robbie separated. Lonnie filed his teeth to points to add to his already intimidating image, he also crafted his fighting skills in numerous street fights. Lonnie was now known on the street as Tombstone. During this time Robertson had became a reporter for a local paper.

After they parted Robertson went to meet an informant for a story, only to see him killed by Lincoln. Once again he was threatened by Lincoln, and as before, kept silent. After 20 years, and discovering that Tombstone was operating in New York, Robertson testified against Tombstone and had him incarcerated, but not before having his spine severely injured by the criminal. However, Robertson was also sent to prison for withholding evidence, and to make matters worse for him, he was put in the same cell as Lonnie. Tombstone later broke free from prison and took Robertson with him. In a later meeting Tombstone arranged an ambush for Robertson at the Osborn Chemical plant, but the trap was discovered by Spider-Man. During the incident Robertson shot Tombstone, sending him into a room with the experimental chemical Diox-3, which gave him superhuman abilities.

Since Tombstone has worked for bothKingpin andHammerhead, and was recently a member of theSinister Twelve group.

Trivia[]

The 1990s series version of Tombstone is presumably a zombie or undead since in one episode he claims that he doesn't need to breathe.
