Lonnie Lincoln, also known as Tombstone, is a supervillain hitman.
Biography
He briefly worked for Silvermane. Tombstone was a childhood friend with Robbie Robertson before he was sent to Juvenile Hall for attempted robbery. After setting Robbie up at a chemical plant, he slipped into a vat of acid and his skin was bleached chalk white and his strength was greatly increased while his teeth became pointed.
He later tried to blackmail Robbie into killing a story that exposed his boss, Alisha Silvermane as a crime lord with by turning his son into a gang member. After Spider-Man defeated Tombstone, he was later sent to Ryker's Island, where he and Richard Fisk tried to frame Robbie. Spider-Man and J. Jonah Jameson later proved Robbie's innocence and Tombstone was left to rot in jail.
Background

His backstory for the series may be inspired by the 1989 Batman film. That film, like the episode "Tombstone", featured the hero failing to save a common criminal from falling into acid thus turning him into an albino supervillain. Spider-Man also makes a remark about Tombstone's hair turning green if he fell in again, alluding to Joker's hair color.
