As the Daily Bugle is about to print a story about how Alisha Silvermane is the new leader of her father's criminal empire, Alisha hires Tombstone to stop the story from being published. Tombstone plans on accomplishing this task by using Robbie, whom he was childhood friends with, as well as get revenge on his former, by using Robbie's son, Randy.
This episode provides examples of:
- Adaptational Backstory Change: In the comics, Tombstone had albinism, giving him pale skin and hair from birth. Him being ostracized for his condition is what led him down the path of crime. In the animated series, he was a normal-looking Black guy to start off with who became a criminal after getting arrested for trying to rob a grocery store as a child, only getting his pale skin and hair from falling into a vat of chemicals.
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: He and Robbie Robertson knew each other in the comics, but that was after Lonnie became Tombstone. In the cartoon, the two knew each other before as children.
- Adaptational Villainy: Lonnie was always a bad guy in the comics, but that was because he was born with albinism and bullied, which resulted him turning into Tombstone. In the cartoon, he was always a bad person as far back as a child stealing from stores.
- Connected All Along: The street gang that Randy joined, the Bandanna Gang, is later revealed to be working for Tombstone.
- Continuity Nod: Due Silvermane's current predicament from being turned into a baby by the Tablet of Time, Alisha has become leader of her father criminal empire in her place. Peter even mentions how he once wanted Alisha before he learned the truth about her.
- Revenge: When they were kids, Robbie left Lonnie in the lurch following a corner store robbery; Lonnie went to juvie. As an adult he tried to frame Robbie for a crime he didn't commit in order to get back at him.
- Revenge by Proxy: Following his transformation into Tombstone, Lonnie tries to frame Robbie's son in order to get back at him, as well as force drop the story Alisha has become acting leader of Silvermane's empire.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Robbie during a confrontation with Lonnie Lincoln, before he became Tombstone, Lonnie tripped on a catwalk over a chemical vat. Robbie tried to save him, but the glove slipped off and gravity took effect. Robbie thought Lonnie was done for, but he later emerged as Tombstone.
- Wrong Side of the Tracks: Lonnie Lincoln and Robbie Robertson were childhood friends until one day Lonnie got arrested for trying to steal ice-cream after the store window broke. While Lonnie was in juvie, Robbie became studious and eventually graduated from college before working as an intern at the Daily Bugle. Lonnie would eventually walk back into Robbie's life and try to frame him by breaking in to the chemical plant for abandoning him all those years ago (Robbie left his fingerprints in the plant), but fell into the chemical vat and became Tobstone, the underworld hitman.
