The verdict: Spider-Man wins most nights

Fight rules: both fighters at their peak, no preparation, no allies, only their own powers and personal gear. A win is a knockout, a restraint they can't escape, or a forced surrender. The percentages are fan estimates, not official information.

Spider-Man's edge

Faster and more agile, and spider-sense keeps him out of Tombstone's grip.

Tombstone's edge

Superhuman strength and toughness after a chemical accident, filed teeth, and a gangster's ruthlessness.

Who is Tombstone?

Lonnie Thompson Lincoln is an albino gangster who grew up alongside Robbie Robertson, later the Daily Bugle's editor, and became a feared enforcer for the Kingpin. Exposure to an experimental gas later gave him superhuman strength and rock-hard skin. His filed teeth, chalky skin and whispering voice make him look like death itself. He debuted in Web of Spider-Man #36 (1988).
