Looks like Lonnie Lincoln's downfall has begun. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has established Lonnie as a talented, cool, and responsible young man who aims to be an NFL star. In the third episode "Secret Identity Crisis", he joins a dangerous gang named the 110th Street Gang. The first job that he is assigned by the gang leader is getting fast food from a rival gang's neighborhood.
Later, towards the end of the episode, Lonnie and the rest of the 110th Street Gang are involved in a fight with the Scorpions, the rival gang. In that fight, the leader of the Scorpions, Mac Gargan advances toward 110th Street Gang's leader Big Donovan with a knife. But Lonnie Lincoln saves Donovan's life, earning the latter's respect and he gives Lincoln a new nickname: Tombstone.
Who is "Tombstone" Lonnie Lincoln in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man?
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man introduces Lonnie Lincoln as a genuinely good person that one may not suspect to fall into a life of crime. However, in the third episode, he joins the gang to save his little brother's life and future, dooming his own. In the fifth episode, he is forced to give up football practice to join his fellow gang members in a street fight.
In that fight, Lonnie saves the gang leader's life, proving his loyalty to the latter. The leader also nicknames Lonnie "Tombstone", the character's monicker in the Marvel comics lore.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man adds a new storyline to the character that was absent in the comics. In the Spider-Man comics, Lonnie Lincoln is a strong henchman who later goes on to become a dangerous mob boss himself.
Who is Tombstone in Marvel Comics?
Created by Alex Saviuk and Gerry Conway, Tombstone is an intimidating supervillain is a superstrong mob enforcer with sharp teeth. Identifiable with his pale skin because of a pigment disorder, Lonnie Lincoln is a bullied man throughout the school and became a bully himself later in life.
In the comics, he is locked inside a chamber with mutagen, which, instead of killing him, gives him a bulletproof skin comparable to Luke Cage and super-strength. This makes him one of Marvel's most challenging supervillains, who is a thorn in the side of heroes like Daredevil and Spider-Man.
Will we see comic-book-accurate Tombstone in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man?
It is confirmed that two more seasons are already confirmed for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. In this show, we are told that several supervillains in the series are equipped by a mysterious scientist revealed to be Otto Octavius. So, maybe, in an upcoming episode of the series or, in future seasons, we may probably see Lonnie Lincoln transform into the Tombstone from the comics.
Considering he is also a Daredevil villain, and The Man Without Fear is appearing this season probably Lonnie will fight the character in the future. However, it might also happen that the character doesn't break badly and may even join Peter to keep New York safe. However, considering how the story is currently playing out, Lonnie may become like his comic book counterpart in this show.
