Lonnie Thompson Lincoln. Formerly an expert hitman, and currently the most wanted crime boss in America...

But he wasn't always a monster.

He was once an innocent boy, treated terribly wrong.


(Harlem, NYC....1983)

(2nd Grade)
"Look....it's that boy. He gives me the creeps.."
"My Mother told me not to play with him."
"He doesn't even look human..."

Young Lonnie ran down the halls of his school, he was chased by three older boys, he ran into the bathroom and locked himself in the stall. The bullies grabbed his ankles and pulled him out from under the stall and dragged him across the contaminated floor. Lonnie was a sweet boy who had a hard life, He was born albino, and kids picked on him for it relentlessly, and the school he went to was so horrible that he was actually picked on by teachers as well. The three bullies kicked him in the stomach and stomped on him

"Little cr*ker-ass bitch! I thought I told your freak ass not to come to school again. You're a little vampire ass freak!" *KICK "WASTE OF SPACE" KRUNCH- "I ain't wanna tell you this again cuz, you need to leave. In fact, just die already, nobody likes you..We all hate you."

They beat him to a pulp and shoved his head in the toilet, then left the bloody child in the bathroom.


(3rd Grade)

"Come here freak, don't worry. We're just gonna beat you senseless. You shouldn't feel a think little alien face bitch."
The same three boys cornered him at the back of the school during recess...He was beaten and bullied for his appearance, It got so bad that he was suspended for his own safety. A year, He came back...he was taller and large for his age. He decided that if he was going to be a freak, then he'd own it. He wasn't gonna be bullied, he was gonna be the bully.



( 5th grade.)
Lonnie walked into the bathroom and saw the same three boys picking on another kid. They took the small kid's wallet and grabbed the cash, tossing the wallet into the toilet. The kid was punched over and over in his stomach, then Lonnie grabbed the bully from behind and slammed him onto the ground, punching him in the teeth and breaking his teeth after the blow. The other two bullies were frozen and stared at Lonnie, he stood up and licked the blood off of his fist. The little kid ran out of the restroom and then Lonnie punched one of the bullies in the balls and then grabbed him by the collar and stomach, tossing him and making him bust his face on the tile. The last one screamed and begged for mercy but Lonnie was bigger than them now. He laughed and grabbed the last one by the hair and slammed his face repeatedly on the counter, giving the kid a concussion and breaking his nose.



Lonnie beat the shit out of them every day of elementary. And when in middle school, the first thing the tall albino boy did was find the worst guy there and beat him senseless. He went as far as to sharpening his teeth to make himself seem even more intimidating. And when freshman year came, Lonnie beat on seniors so bad that he crippled one of the football players. No one wanted to mess with him. He'd even make the toughest guys piss down their leg.


He grew older and began to work for the Mob. Becoming a hitman, and one of the deadliest. After working his way up through the ranks he had been the victim of an accident at the Oscorp chemical plant. He was shot and locked in an airtight chamber. The gas he was exposed to gave him abilities, Superhuman Strength, Stamina, and superhuman durability, making him able to withstand high caliber bullets. He became the sword of the Kingpin, Wilson Fisk, an enforcer of Fisk's laws. He ran half the underworld, he killed to get to where he is today, he murdered families, He did unspeakable things to his victims...and earned the name:

"TOMBSTONE."

Cause messing with him meant that's where you'd end up, buried.



(Present day.)

"Black Widow..... What a thorn in my side." Lonnie looked at the news as he worked out in his safehouse. His veins were visible and he had the physique of a hulking god. He stood 6'7" and weighed over 400lbs. He walked into his closet and put on his casual business suit. He knew how he could get out of the city, he had a plan for a distraction, he wasn't afraid of Black Widow, or the feds.


Deathlock was the distraction, and the Cyborg had arrived at the airport, looking for trouble. He waited for the signal from Lonnie, then when he was prompted he stood up in his seat after takeoff and began to walk to the pilots. He choked the flight attendant to death and then dropped her, stabbing both pilots and taking control of the airplane. The feds were now less worried about Tombstone and more concerned with Deathlock. Lonnie thought he had it all planned out. He thought he could get in his van and head out..


But his van was destroyed and Jessica stood before him, wearing her red suit.

"You're done....It's over..What do you have to say for yourself?....For the people you killed...?" Jessica clenched her fist.

"You ever hear the story of Cain and Abel?" He replied and took off his jacket, tie and shirt, preparing to fight. "Well have you?" He asked again.

"What does a story from the bible have to do with any of this?"
She was confused and the two enemies squared up against one another finally, they were in a parking garage underneath the safehouse/building that Tombstone was hiding inside of.


"God created Adam and Eve, and when they sinned? He banished them from the garden they once lived in..And they had two sons. And they loved their sons. they really did. But they loved the prettier and younger one better. Even though it was the younger one who was the real villain."


Jess was confused. "Didn't Abel get killed by Cain?"
Lincolin shook his head. "Yes. But that was after what Abel did.."

"I'll explain. God rejected Cain's offering and accepted Abels. The world rejected me and accepted everyone else.."
He glared at Jessica. "You don't know what it's like to be a monster...an abomination. Cain murdered his brother because he wasn't going to let the world treat him unfairly, so if someone got in his way he just killed them. That's why I kill anyone who stands in my way, Like your precious little techie, Bart...That's why I'm gonna put your ass in the dirt right next to him. That's why I'll never stop. Cain won. He defeated his obstacle... Now I'm going to beat mine."


He threw a punch at Jess and she dodged it, He punched fast and she continued to dodge, block and counter, then landed a kick to his chest but he only stepped back a bit and smiled with his sharp teeth. He grabbed her wrist and the two struggled against one another, Tombstone was STRONG. He was generating 6 tons of resistance. Jess was actually impressed and then she pulled him toward her and punched him in the neck. Lonnie held his neck in pain and then growled in anger, his rage gave him the edge and he grabbed both her wrist and began to headbutt her over and over, kneeing her in the gut and then slamming her head down on his knee. She shouted in a high pitch, she was in pain... Lonnie was not done. The giant grabbed her and slammed her back and forth on the concrete. She tried shooting a web but he grabbed her wrist and squeezed. "AHHHH-AHHHH!!!!!" She shouted and he bent her arm backward. She kicked him and broke out of his hold, staggering back a bit, but she then ate his uppercut and she was sent flying backward and landing on a hood of a van, shattering the windshield.

"Cain saw the world for what it truly was. He saw the truth. Life ain't fair...It's people like you..who make it unfair, Spider. You're a vigilante, you're breaking the law, but you wear a mask and they call you hero?..." He grabbed her hair and lifted her by it as she tried to get free. "You're no hero." He tore off her mask, she closed her eyes and he punched her in the face repeatedly until she was a bloody mess "You're just a pretty faced ballerina. Or you were. You will never dance again after tonight...You'll be ugly like me."

She kicked her legs, her hair felt like it was being ripped from her scalp, her scalp was bleeding because of some of it actually was. Her face was bruised and bloody and the odds had shifted, not in her favor either. He slammed her into a wall and then peppered her with punches, She was taking roo many blows and she felt her bones nearly crack. "You fall. Just like Abel. YOU FALL!" He punched again to end her and she grabbed his large fist, glaring at him with the only eye she could still open.

"A strong woman falls seven times.." She pushed him back and rose her hands in a boxing guard. "But she gets up eight times..." Jessica's legs wobbled a bit.


Tombstone paused and lowered his fist... "Who taught you that nonsense?..."


Jessica smiled and felt the spirit of her former teacher over her. Giving her the strength to beat him. "My Mother."


She punched him in the face and followed up with an uppercut. *K-TWACK!!!! POW!! BAFF!!

Lincolin tried to grab her again and she webbed his arm up and connected it to the ceiling, jumping on his large chest and latching on, she shot webs all around the room and attached them to him, swinging around him swiftly and wrapping him up, spinning webs faster then she had ever done before. She actually overdid it and left only his head visible as he was in a giant cocoon.

" Abel was never the problem. It was Cain's sense of entitlement. Life sucks, not just for you, but for everyone. It's how we respond that differentiates us from one another. That's why I'll never stop fighting you. You can escape, but I'll be out here waiting...The world does not owe you anything..."

"All my life..I've faced inner demons. I was created in a lab...I lost my home. But I never took it out on the world. Instead, I make it a safer place..Never compare me to you. I'm stronger than you could ever be."

She punched him one last time and knocked the villain out. She gave up the location of Tombstone so he could be detained...but then saw the news...it was worse than what she had thought. She had to hurry. There was no time. She grabbed her mask and limped. It would be a long swing tot he airport so she stole a motorcycle from Tombstones garage. He wouldn't be needing that until after 40 to life anyway.


"Now I believe I have a plane to catch..."
