He faked his death
Do you think he ever told his wife that?
Even if he didn’t his body was in one piece
only way he stops recovering is if his head is removed from his body.
he basically has the same kinda regeneration as Wolverine without the adamantium skeleton that keeps him from being decaptitated.
course considering how durable he is, its possible that gun had no acutal effect. was basically him ‘retiring’ in a dramatic fashion.
He’d be a massive asshole for letting Andrew Johnson take the reins.
The man let Reconstruction fall apart and the progress of black people getting equal rights be held back decades because he wanted to move onto a new persona.
be fair he might have misjudged how badly things would go without em.
He’s smiling and aware of the man behind him so your last statement is definitely true.
I wonder if that implies that John Wilkes Booth (an actor) was in on the ruse, or just that it happened to be good timing for The Immortal?
He mentions in the comics that he felt bad for John Wilkes Booth because he technically didn’t kill him but was still the subject of a manhunt.
I think it’s the latter
Or perhaps Mrs. Lincoln wasn’t as nice in the invincible timeline
Season 1 Episode 8 ending scene
In reality someone did try to steal his body so maybe it has to do with that?
It was just a gunshot. Realistically speaking, it wouldn’t have incapacitated him for that long. But because superhumans likely weren’t public at that time, Abraham Lincoln had to disappear.
The real Lincoln lived for several hours after the shot too. So it’s not like a head kaboom situation
Comic spoilers:
This didn’t hurt him, it was just too public for him to brush off as nothing happening.
The first time the Immortal took enough damage to actually die was when he met a traitorous Viltrumite. Human weapons of the time (and even in the future, we find out later) cannot kill the Immortal.
This didn’t actually kills him and he mentions feeling bad about John Wilkes Booth being arrested
I mean the bullet wouldn’t have gotten though his skin anyway so he probably just faked it
If I kinda assumed he just didn’t die here. I mean I get he can regen, but like, if his weakness was just getting shot in the head, then anyone on earth would’ve already beaten him.
