Honestly this character has always been interesting to me. And the fact that Spider-Man has often hurt his hands when trying to hit him shows that Tombstone is not one to be underestimated
This was expanded upon in recent comics as him doing it as a gang initiation (along with luke cage villains: Cottonmouth, Pirahna Jones , and Mr.Fish).
This character is one of my favorite underrated Spider-Man villains, from His badass design, terrifying personality, and connection with one of Peter’s friends, he’s essentially the perfect villain. I feel like he should have more stories as the main villain, and be the main villain in a Spider-Man movie or video game. i’ve always preferred a mix between his classic version and the spectacular version, A powerful and intelligent bruiser, Who runs his own gang, but doesn’t mind working for others. Plus Dorian Harewood and Kevin Michael Richardson, are the definitive voice actors in my opinion, nothing wrong with the into the spider verse version.
Tombstone should get his own solo movie. Show his rise in the criminal underworld. Killing crime boss after crime boss. Maybe have Hammerhead as the main antagonist?
Always one of the cooler villains that rarely gets explored. I lost my shit when he showed up in Spider-Man(PS4). I think Michael Jai White would make a good Tombstone for a live action movie.
Try Brock Lesnar, his beastly appearance would be perfect for the role of Tombstone and just as well, they should bring the Kingpin back and have him played by the Big Show
I want to personally THANK the creators of this video. Since the 1980's I have read numerous comic books with Tombstone in them as a character. I never EVER knew he was a black man EVER until 2:28 a.m. 3-11-2022. (the time I am watching this video). God Bless you all for this. I grew up reading the Punisher and Tombstone was in many comics with the Punisher I never knew his back story NOW I DO!!
Tombstone used to be really cool . He’s passed his hayday after Conway got done with him, but hopefully he becomes a real threatening adversary again. I also remember him from the 90’s cartoon (Which, sadly, does NOT hold up well!).
Tombstone in the M.C.U. should totally be played by actor/rapper Marvin "Krondon" Jones III. Why not? Krondon totally did great playing as the Freeland mob boss Tobias Whale in DC's Black Lightning show!
I always liked how he was like a zombie that kept his mind. Doesn't feel pain, doesnt tire, can't be hurt by conventional means, etc. Not super strength or powers or gadgets, just a guy who keeps coming at you and you know won't stop. I feel like they should play into that more, maybe even make it so he doesn't sleep anymore either, so just always slowly getting closer to you no matter what you throw at him
THE STORY OF ROBBIE ROBERTSON & TOMBSTONE AS ONE OF THE GREATEST STORIES OF AMAZING SPIDERMAN & ITS CONTINUATION STORIES PUSHED FURTHER IN THE SERIES. BECOMING ICE COLD WASN'T WHAT HE WANTED, IS WHAT HE HAD TO BECOME. MICHAEL JAI WHITE THE PERFECT TOMBSTONE.
We need more characters like this introduced into the MCU.. These hardcore street level thugs were always the best part of Marvel Comics to me. We need Tombstone, Hammerhead and the like.. Michael Jai White could play Tombstone easily.. All he would need is a great makeup artist.
I like street level villains and heroes, make the fights more easy to carry without recurring to ludicrous super powers that might do more harm than good in a narrative level.
There was a time when I had thought kingpin and tombstone were the same person I think I was around 7 or 8 then, I didn't realize they were different people until 6th grade
FUN FACT: In The Spectacular Spiderman cartoon, the Kingpin was supposed to be the Big Man. But due to legal issues, they decided to choose Tombstone instead.
Wesley Snipes would make an excellent live action version of Tombstone; afterall his portrayal of Simon Phoenix from "Demolition Man" would be adequate proof.
Spiderman the animated series was my favorite show as a kid lol 😆 eating cereal watching it with my spiderman action figure in my hand life was so simple as a kid
I preferred his original origins over the 90s cartoon version of him. I guess because I am not exactly the "normal" in looks partially due to me being mixed race and.. Sticking out is not exactly a good thing where I originally lived.. 出る釘は打たれる Not an exact translation but it is the same as the saying "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down". It was one of the sayings my mom taught me as a kid, since she insisted I learned some English, along with some other languages.

SPOLIER ALERT FOR SPIDERMAN 2 (ps5) tombstone did show up in the second game...but no longer a biker or criminal they made him a changed and reformed criminal that works at the fair. You even have to save him from kraven 😂 I was so dirty they made him good😢
He is as once when he got possessed by doctor ock and punched scorpion jaw off with one punch and he held up a part if a building and acting as as landing gear for a plane
Incorrect, he didn't merge those two depictions. Both characters you mention were created after the creation of tombstone. Saying he wanted to merge the two depictions is blatantly inaccurate. Perhaps you meant to say those qualities or character aspects are also present in the character Tombstone, but that isn't what you said.
I personally don't like ps4 spiderman's depiction of tombstone, being the leader of a biker gang seems too low down the totem pole of crime for him and there's just something about his design that doesn't feel right. My favourite depiction of tombstone the spectacular spider man.
I truly dont remember seeing tombstone in, In to the spider-verse! And that shit about spider man hurting his hand is kinda stupid. I had a giant size spiderman Vs superman comic where spider man hit super man countless times and never hurt his hands. So tombstone is harder than the man of steel!? Stick to the script why don't cha! That kinda hype kills me when a writer throws the already established comic lore out the window to give a new/subpar villain more notoriety. Can we say hype boys and girls? It's like when they stripped (Godzilla verse)Kong of his weather manipulation ability to give Godzilla more edge going in. Even in king kongs solo films it was mentioned that he kept skull island shrouded in a deep fog. Yet, Godzilla can now hold enough nuclear energy that should've destroyed half the PLANET!? Hackey AF. But that Mothra finish move was hard. Also, dead pool comes to mind; I couldn't read a comic book if deadpool was featured let alone his solo issues. Total new comer hype but the films change my opinion, they were amazing. I'm a huge deadpool fan now. Thanks Ryan, i appreciate your work. Oops, I just did what I accuse fans of the dark night version of bat man of doing. they aren't actually Real Bat Man fans they're Nolan fan boys. That's why they tried so hard to destroy Afflecks version...BvS f'n RULED!!! I was on the edge of my seat. Imho, Bat man begins was superb but that's were i drew the line with that series. That was just his take on batman and the other installments were waaay to soap-operaish for my taste, simply, I'm a bat man fan first so give me... The BATMAN!! Like I want...The WOLVERINE. You can keep Logan. was totally turn off when that version hit the comics. And I could've swore his name was different when he first joined the X-men.

Fun fact:In the comics Tombstone sharpened his teeth on purpose so everyone would fear him more.
creepy
Not surprising

Shit musta hurt
@UnownDepth it's not creepy it looks pretty fun😂
he was a scary villain in the animated series due to his amazing voice actor Dorian Harewood still gives me goosebumps
And being cellmate to the Kingpin's son really gives him extra props
They never seem to get the whisper thing right. I guess he's kinda whispering in the animated series, though it was more of a rasp than a whisper.

A live action Tombstone would be terrifying
Have him played by Krondon (the guy that played as Tobias whale).
@@cosmicghost811 Yes and it has to be a R Rated movie. The brutality he can inflict deserves it.
@@poteetang yep
@@cosmicghost811 Michael Jai white would be a superior tombstone
Tombstone should get his own solo movie. Show his rise in the criminal underworld. Killing crime boss after crime boss. Maybe have Hammerhead as the main antagonist?
Just started reading the Zeb Wells Amazing Spider-Man run and made me an instant tombstone fan
One of Spider-Man's scariest villains!
Sonys is making a movie about tombstone
Love the cold calculated depiction.
Always one of the cooler villains that rarely gets explored. I lost my shit when he showed up in Spider-Man(PS4). I think Michael Jai White would make a good Tombstone for a live action movie.

Read Spectacular Spider-Man #155.
Dude really isn’t that unique in terms of powers but his character is interesting enough by itself to make people pay attention to him
Was he a drug dealer like in the ps4 game
@@iseeopenings3921 more along the lines of a hired goon at the very least
He was in a game?
No, he’s more of a hireling. In the beginning he worked for The Kingpin.

In the more recent amazing spiderman run tombstone was beating the breaks off of spiderman had him chaind up and everything.
Wow im early. love tomb stone would be great to have his powers any way do more videos like this please!!!
What do you want on your tombstone?
PEPPERONI!
I really hate how no version of him outside of the comic speaks with a whisper
Tombstone backstory is so complexed and different, Sony could do a movie trilogy with just him as the main character.
Tombstone in the M.C.U. should totally be played by actor/rapper Marvin "Krondon" Jones III. Why not? Krondon totally did great playing as the Freeland mob boss Tobias Whale in DC's Black Lightning show!
I like Tombstone's portrayel in Spectacular Spider-Man.
This guy was always a favorite of mine, I kind of wanna see him brawl with Luke Cage now!
I think that he has.
@@matthewschwartz6607 huh, I’ll have to look into that!

You miss my favorite thing about him in the animation series when fighting spiderman he tells him that he doesn't breathe

In the animated series tombstone claims he doesn’t breath no more
Otherwise known as the "Prometheus that isn't Bald"?
Well I learn that I forgot he is a bleach black man. Thought he was just born pale kind of like killer croc.
He was born like that (in the comics). The chemical just gave him his powers.
Tombstone from into the spider verse truly had the gangster swagger. He was bad ass!! 👊🏿

I wonder if Luke Cage ever fought Tombstone
He also Immune to poison gas as well.
Watching this in 2022 in the month of July where spectacular Spider-Man just show up on Netflix!
Tombstone "the immortal king"
I like Tombstone as a character. New to the channel will like and subscribe
I used to know an albino. Surprisingly enough, he was nothing like Tombstone. He was actually pretty normal looking.
There was a time when I had thought kingpin and tombstone were the same person I think I was around 7 or 8 then, I didn't realize they were different people until 6th grade
The creators of Spectacular Spider-Man couldn't use Kingpin so they made Tombstone into Kingpin.
@@Raccon_Detective. well now it makes sense why I was so confused back then
FUN FACT: In The Spectacular Spiderman cartoon, the Kingpin was supposed to be the Big Man. But due to legal issues, they decided to choose Tombstone instead.
Tombstone, Hammer Head all these guys remind me of The Batman Villains that are Mobsters hmmmm Kingpin who did it 1st.
Wesley Snipes would make an excellent live action version of Tombstone; afterall his portrayal of Simon Phoenix from "Demolition Man" would be adequate proof.
Last time I checked, Wes' gonna reprise his role as Blade for the MCU
Spiderman the animated series was my favorite show as a kid lol 😆 eating cereal watching it with my spiderman action figure in my hand life was so simple as a kid
Great Video. Keep em up please, you got a subscriber and I’ll bring you more.
Sharpened his teeth...on purpose..right because the thug albino with stone hard skin and super strength wasn't scary enough ..
Tombstone vs Power Man
I love that even though he’s street level, he’s still a Avenger level threa.
I wouldn’t go that far. He wouldn’t last a second against Thor, Captain Marvel, etc. He’s basically on the same level as Colossus.
Now he definitely need to be in the MCU.
Yep, with Brock Lesnar playing him
I love tombstone!! A great black villian
I got a comic of daredevil vs tombstone daredevil knuckles were bloody cuz of tombstone hard skin crazy 😧
I preferred his original origins over the 90s cartoon version of him. I guess because I am not exactly the "normal" in looks partially due to me being mixed race and.. Sticking out is not exactly a good thing where I originally lived..

Who exactly?

All that stuff you mentioned about Harlem I have never heard of. Guess what everyone knows about Harlem?
DaVinci code was published in 2003. Tombstone was created in the 1980s. Unless Tombstone's creator is a time traveller...
