History:
(Web of Spider-Man I#68/Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Update '89#7 (fb) - BTS) - Born albino, Lonnie Lincoln often felt like a freak growing up, being a black man in white skin, with a disfigured nose, damaged vocal cords that required he speak in only whispers, and filed pointed teeth (which he may have filed himself).
(Amazing Spider-Man VI#3 (fb)) - As a young albino child, Lonnie was frequently beat up at school who grew accustomed to being hungry and never being heard, so he stopped speaking. After a time, he filed his teeth to points, then began whispering to get people close enough to hear him, so that he could bite them. He bit the ear off a bully, then began taking from others as he aged.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#139 (fb) - BTS) - Lonnie Lincoln developed a reputation at Harlem High School for being a bully. He ran an "insurance" scam, beating kids up unless they paid him. The kids called him Tombstone, partly due to his appearance.
(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Update '89#7 (fb) - BTS) - The name Tombstone was also partially selected as a play on his middle name, Thompson. He often felt like Joe Robertson was his only friend, as he was the only person to show civility to him.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#139 (fb) ) - When Lincoln heard school reporter Joe Robertson was going to write a story about his bullying, Lincoln beat Robertson up to get him to drop the story.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#139/Spectacular Spider-Man II#149 (fb) - BTS) - A few years later, in Philadelphia, Tombstone murdered a crime-boss, Isadore Kipper, an employee of Oswald Montana.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#139 (fb) ) - An informant called Joe Robertson at the local newspaper to say he'd witnessed the murder, and Robbie rushed to the informant, but Tombstone had already killed him. Joe fled from Tombstone, who later called Joe at home with a subtle warning.
(Superior Foes of Spider-Man#7 (fb) - BTS) - Lincoln fathered a daughter, Janice, with a Dominican woman, but he spent part of Janice's childhood in jail.
(Superior Foes of Spider-Man#7 (fb) ) - When she was a young girl at a birthday party, she distracted the other kids with a dog while she stole all of the presents. Her father drove her away, praising her crime. Another time, Janice interrupted Tombstone's meeting with the Fixer in the backyard.
(Amazing Spider-Man V#26 (fb) - BTS - Growing up, Janice watched her father fight in never-ending gang wars, and she noticed he never came across a female mob leader.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#139 (fb) - BTS) - Over the following 20 years, Tombstone developed a lethal reputation as a mob enforcer in Philadelphia. Despite a dozen arrests, no evidence seemed to stick as witnesses constantly recanted their testimonies or disappeared altogether.
(Superior Foes of Spider-Man#7 (fb) - BTS) - Tombstone paid for Janice to attend Columbia Law School to get her degree. She wanted her father to give her a super-villain costume upon graduation.
(Superior Foes of Spider-Man#7 (fb) ) - Tombstone attended Janice's graduation, where he was proud of her for being the valedictorian (though she'd caused the accident of another student to get there). Tombstone gave her a fancy car as a gift, but she still wanted to be a super-villain. Over pancakes, he told her that she shouldn't wear a costume, and that a woman could not be an effective boss. He told Janice to go get a job if she wanted to work her way up as a criminal.
(Superior Foes of Spider-Man#7 (fb) ) - Five years after she got a job as a lawyer, Tombstone called Janice at her firm and reminded her that it was the anniversary of her first crime. He told her how proud he was of her.

Tombstone recommended they all file their teeth and call themselves the Fang Gang, but they argued when Tombstone called Mariah fat, and the group broke apart.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#141 (fb) - BTS) - Tombstone murdered Harold Ullman, a man investigating the mobs.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#138 (fb) - BTS) - The Arranger, working for the Kingpin, hired Tombstone (who had a reputation as the "most feared hitman in the midwest"), to come to New York and watch Ronald Rayburn, a man on Wall Street who had powers to persuade others to do what he wanted.

(Spectacular Spider-Man II#139) - The hitman was defeated by Spider-Man.

Robertson called Tombstone there, asking for a meeting in Battery Park, and Tombstone sent in the nurse Shiella to tend to Rayburn as he left. In Battery Park, Robertson drew a gun on Tombstone, determined to arrest him, then he fired when Tombstone advanced on him, but Tombstone was wearing Kevlar. Tombstone then squeezed Robbie's back and left him lying there in the park.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#140) - Tombstone showed up at the hospital to taunt Robertson, who assumed he had a broken back. Hearing that Spider-Man was after him, Tombstone checked in with the Arranger, who was keeping Rayburn sedated there.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#141 (fb) - BTS) - Getting word that the Punisher was in town, Arranger sent Tombstone and his men, including Willis, to lure Punisher in near Rayburn, who was now operating as the costumed villain Persuader.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#141) - Tombstone, reminding his men not to call him "Mr. Tombstone" or he would break their legs, saw Spider-Man visit Punisher and he electronically eavesdropped, learning that Robertson had made a cassette tape about him.

In Atlanta, Tombstone lured Spider-Man into a construction building and the two battled, with Tombstone initially getting the upper hand. Spider-Man used his enhanced strength and agility to defeat Tombstone, who admitted that he hadn't killed Robertson because he considered Robertson his friend. Spidey knocked Tombstone into a truck of wet concrete.

(Spectacular Spider-Man II#149) - On trial for the Kipper murder, Tombstone admitted that he did it, but he wouldn't admit to attacking Robertson. The prosecutor considered holding Robertson accountable for not reporting the murder years before.

(Spectacular Spider-Man II#151 (fb) - BTS) - In prison in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, Tombstone warned Robertson to keep quiet about him to his friends and family.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#151) - When Spider-Man showed up at Robertson's prison window, Robertson refused to tell the hero about Tombstone, as Tombstone eavesdropped in the next cell. Later, Tombstone influenced the guards into turning away while he and his thugs in prison threatened Robertson in the prison lobby. Tombstone grabbed Robertson around the neck, but a muscular prisoner named Bruiser choked Tombstone back, warning him to stay away from Robertson.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#152) - Tombstone sent a few prisoners against Bruiser, who fought back and defeated them all. As Bruiser was taken to solitary, he warned Tombstone not to touch Robertson while he was gone.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#153) - For weeks, Tombstone watched Bruiser train Robertson in the gym. One night, Tombstone and his men, including Armand, staged an attack on Bruiser, shooting him with a nail gun to the heart. Robertson rushed and got Bruiser confined in a cell in solitary confinement for safety. Tombstone got the keys and entered the cell, where Bruiser, despite being wounded, traded blows with the villain. Robertson was held back while Tombstone beat Bruiser to death, then Tombstone rushed back to his cell when the alarm sounded.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#155 (fb) - BTS) - Tombstone forced Robertson to lure Spider-Man to the jail, where he told Robertson to inject the hero with an experimental virus in a syringe. Tombstone arranged for the guard, Otto, to help stage the breakout, and some of his contacts in New York wanted Spider-Man dead.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#155) - When Spider-Man arrived, he was shocked to see Tombstone, then Robertson injected the hero. Tombstone began beating Spider-Man, then he chained him up and beat him more, careful to keep him alive so the hero could help them escape. Otto triggered the breakout as helicopters arrived, but Spider-Man broke out of his shackles and held on to the helicopter that Tombstone and Robertson were seeking to escape on. Tombstone tried kicking Spidey free, but Robertson grabbed Tombstone around the neck, choking him, and they both fell from the helicopter and to the ground far below, where Spidey expected they had been killed in the fall.

(Spectacular Spider-Man II#157 (fb) - BTS) - Over the following few weeks, Robertson's leg healed as they stayed with Aaron and his wife on their farm. Robertson remained silent, worried Tombstone would hurt the family if he spoke up.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#157) - Tombstone gave Robertson a subtle threat, then told him they needed to talk soon, now that the leg was healed up. Later, Tombstone attacked Robertson, telling him he planned to kill him now that he was healed. Robertson got a punch in then ran into the corn fields. Tombstone beat Robertson until he managed to grab a pitchfork and stab Tombstone in the chest. Saying how cold it was, Tombstone went wandering into the cornfield. Bleeding, Tombstone soon joined up with Hammerhead and Chameleon.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#161) - With chauffeur Roscoe, Hammerhead drove Tombstone back to the prison, where Robertson was receiving a full pardon inside. Hammerhead reminded Tombstone that he was a wanted man, and suggested they make things right. Later, at the club, Hammerhead had Hobgoblin come in and he offered him $25000 to kill Robertson, ignoring Tombstone's protests that he should be the one to do it.

Tombstone arrived that night with a squad full of armed men, but they found Molten Man had brought in Spider-Man to stop them, then Green Goblin (Harry Osborn) worked with the heroes as well.

Tombstone nearly attacked, but remembered the rules that he wasn't to touch other assassins. Daredevil jumped in, pushing Tombstone and Taskmaster aside just as Punisher opened fire on them. The villains fled as the two heroes sparred. Taskmaster and Tombstone jumped on a bus and killed the driver, and Taskmaster got behind the wheel.

Comments: Created by Gerry Conway, Alex Saviuk & Keith Williams.
Tombstone may be one of Marvel's most consistent villains. His appearance, powers, and motivations have remained relatively unchanged over the last 30 years, and he shows up pretty often. He is a power-hungry mob boss who is ruthless and deadly, unforgiving and lethal. He makes big bids for power, takes impossible assignments for cash, and has a twisted sense of justice. He loves basically no one except himself and his daughter.
Marvel Knights: Spider-Man II#3 may not have been in continuity, or the Tombstone presented here may have been some sort of illusion or hallucination.
(Marvel Knights: Spider-Man II#3 (fb) - BTS) - Growing up, Lonnie thought the world revolved around him and that he was the hero of his own story, destined for greatness.
(Marvel Knights: Spider-Man II#3) - Aboard a submarine, Spider-Man faced off against villains who seemed overwhelmed by his own fears. Tombstone cried about once thinking he was the most important person before realizing other people felt the same way.
Markus Raymond added Tombstone's cameos in Captain America I#413, Alias#26, Dark Reign: Cabal#1/3 and Punisher VIII#4.
Thanks to Mike Castle for pointing out that Tombstone first name Alonzo was revealed in Amazing Spider-Man VI#3 (July, 2022).
