Tombstone

History

Lonnie started off life at quite a disadvantage. Being Harlem's only black albino, he was bullied often at school. He eventually became a bully himself, taking protection money from other kids. Robbie Robertson was the editor for the school paper, and was going to publish a story about Lonnie's criminal acts, but Lonnie "persuaded" him that this would be a bad choice.

This eventually led Lonnie to much more serious crime, and he used his unusual appearance to his advantage. He filed his teeth to points, combined with his albino complexion, he appeared to be very Vampire-like in appearance, which helped in catching marks off-guard for an easy kill.

While working for Hammerhead, Lonnie decided to set a trap for Robbie at the Osborn Chemical Plant. Unfortunately, the trap was set off early by Spider-Man, the Molten Man, and the Green Goblin (Harry Osborn). Face-to-face with Lonnie, Robbie shot him, and Lonnie fell into a chamber filled with Diox-3, an experimental plant preservative. The gas entered Lonnie's bloodstream and altered his chemical make-up. The preservative gave Lonnie super strength, made his skin impervious to most attacks, and lightning-fast reflexes. Due to these changes, Lonnie took the title 'Tombstone', since it not only describes his appearance and powers, but also works well in his chosen profession as hitman and enforcer.  

Tombstone has battled Spider-Man on numerous occasions.  In their final encounter, Spider-Man was only able to KO him with a full strength punch to the face with a fist layered in webbing.  Tombstone also battled Daredevil in France.  He bested the hero easily, and the battled him a second time.  He was defeated when the man without fear struck him with a sledgehammer across the face.  He was also a member of the Sinister Tweleve.  He recently battled Deadpool.  He defeated him, but then Deadpool recovered, and threatened to stab Tombstone in his eye with a katana.

Its revealed in the episode "The Invisible Hand" that the "Big Man" is apparently L. Thompson Lincoln, a.k.a. Tombstone.  He made an offer to Spider-Man that he'll stop using Oscorp to create metahuman's as long as Spider-Man keeps his nose out of his affairs he even pays Spider-Man in advance. Obviously Spider-Man refuses and will keep fighting him inspite of the super villain onslaught coming his way sooner or later. 

Unlike his comic-book counterpart who's just a hired muscle, this Tombstone is a cunning and intelligent criminal mastermind.

In many ways, Tombstone is used as a surrogate Kingpin.  Due to Wilson Fisk's heavy involvement in the Daredevil series, the rights to the Kingpin character were stripped from the Spider-Man franchise.
