Stan Lee was in a comic book in which he was hosting a popular television show that exists in real life. Then something happened which put Stan in danger and Spider-Man saved him.

The thing about Lincoln entering a wrestling match and kicking ass is that he totally did that all the time. Lincoln has a weird history.
4:40 Fun fact about that sleeping guard. THAT'S HISTORICALLY ACCURATE THAT MAN EXISTED. John Frederick Parker was too drunk and passed out to stop the assassination.
So Abe Lincoln fights werewolves and vampires plus he's a zombie??!?!?! Also he beat chuck Norris, Obama, and Romney in a rap battle!!!! Lincoln's badass
Yes. Yes he is. Haha
Antonio Diavolo amen
Antonio Diavolo im voting for him i guess
Am I the only one who noticed that the Deadpool movie was released on Abraham Lincoln's birthday?
Just noticed this guys last name sounds like "Nice wander", which I think is cools because it's an allusion to how he, with his talking about comic stories, helps us pleasantly wander around the realm of comics in our imaginations.
I am surprised there is no mention of The New Adventures of Abraham Lincoln by Scott McCloud, 1998

Can you do a Deadpool video? You could do it on his various coustumes he's worn over the years.
Do you have any recommendations for reads?
Do a video on cool people who could become the new Robin
SNL
THE PRICE IS RIGHT.
This video was super weird because my name is Bryce (clearly) and it felt like you were asking me about Assassin's Creed
Lolz
Bryce Bowman
DO you know the answer to his question?
check out Time Lincoln! its a pretty wild and fun comic, it basically features Abraham Lincoln traveling though time in the final hour before his assassination
***** Thanks for the suggestion!
Superboy # 85, "The Impossible Mission" was IMHO the best Superboy story ever told. Superboy attempts to prevent the Assassination of Lincoln, but he encounters an adult Lex Luthor already there. This Luthor, used to fighting the adult Superman is equipped with some red kryptonite and uses it to stop Superboy temporarily. Luthor realizes only too late that he has prevented Superboy from saving Lincoln. He is filled with remorse because even he admired Lincoln. He said, "Why did fate choose me to me to prevent Superboy from saving the life of Lincoln, a great man? I'm responsible for many crimes, but this is the worst of all! Lincoln's blood is on my hands..." Distraught, the adult Luthor flees into the past to escape.
This was one of the earliest stories to show that there was way more to Lex than being a pure villain. As the years rolled on, we got to know the pre-Crisis Lex as a tragic figure who could easily have been a good guy, but fate kept intervening to cast him as the villain no matter how hard he tried to reform. Even though the old stories were from a simpler time, over time Lex became more complicated than most modern comics villains. He had a sister whom he wanted to hide his villainy from. He tried repeatedly to retire to another planet where he wouldn't have to be a villain anymore. He even reformed more than once, but fate always ruined things for him. Perhaps, it was a curse from the blood of Lincoln on his hands?
In the amazing Rob Kirkman comic book 'Invincible', there is a character called The Immortal, a superhero who at one point in his life was actually Abe Lincoln. If you haven't already read every single issue of that book...I implore that you do! Just revisiting some of your old videos because weekly new ones just aint enough! Keep up the awesome work Scott.
This episode was un-PRESIDENT-ed!
you're**
I'll add my two Lincoln coppers, because that's what I do.
One instance I remember is West Coast Avengers/Avengers West Coast under Byrne, the story arc that did the damage that drove Wanda to Avengers Disassembled much later on. So Immortus is bouncing around multernity, erasing alt-timelines like Mary Queen Of Scots triumphing and executing Elizabeth, JFK's assassin is confirmed as being from the Grassy Knoll, and like that. Sure enough, one of these has old rail-splitter Abe sensing something is wrong, turning in time to seize Booth's wrist and have him fire up before the guards can grab him. Immortus, who has ingratiated himself up to Lincoln's circle in that time-traveler way, comments on how he admired Lincoln and this was the toughest timeline he had to do in, while a Crisis-like wave erases that reality. BTW, after this story arc did all this, brought back the Android Torch, rewrote the Vision and spat (or worse) on the Engelhart arcs before this, and Wanda was built up as Immortus' time/space pawn, Byrne left or was fired from the book, which means all this stuff led to, ya know...not nothing, but close.
One comics-related was in the very last Brave and Bold episode, with full-on awesome goofiness. Batman fights by Lincoln's side against Booth and his men (He brought men, here), until a disgusted Booth turns into a cyborg steampunk mecha till Batman blows him up real good. The time traveling Batman then reveals he is also universe-jumping, and thanks President Lincoln of Earth-Number Not Remotely Ours.
Two honorable mentions go to comic books based on other media. In the last issue of Bill + Ted from Marvel, they find out their bud Lincoln is going to be killed, and save him to the result of a bad future where America never reunited after his death, and he has to go back. Abe, for his part, nervously wonders if this is really necessary.
Didn't really read through it, but a Movie-Era DC Star Trek comic had Kirk and company once more encounter the Excalbians, those volcanic-rock life-form funsters who staged a battle between good and evil with Lincoln and Surak on Kirk and Spock's side during the TV series ep 'The Savage Curtain'. To wit, Kirk at one point encounters the being Lincoln had been crafted from in its natural form.
Unrelated, but if you haven't seen the mockbuster 'Abraham Lincoln versus Zombies', do so. It's actually halfway decent, with good production values, although a Herc/Xena use of history on some levels.
It's amazing how classic comic writers very bluntly write themselves into corners and fumble trying to backpedal.
I love the batman brave and the bold Lincoln batman team up against John Wilkes "Doom".
Luigiperps Nice!
***** you should so do a video based on marvels what if series
There was a spiderman and captain america team up ajd you could see abraham in the cover
I think stan lee was saved by spiderman in spiderman the animaded seris
Luigiperps I remember that! Booth was a Cyborg, right?
I love watching old Nerdsync episodes.
HOW ARE THESE VIDEOS NOT MORE POPULAR?! i give up on the internet
Paul Massores Probably because nobody knows what's good for them. Haha
*****
welp youve got my subscription, time to start binge watching all your videos :)
Paul Massores Make sure not to judge me too hard on the older videos. Past-Scott had no idea what he was doing. haha
as someone who wants to get into youtubing/ video making checking out the older videos could be a learning experience. as in what to avoid lol
Best Abe Lincoln appearance in comics is in Plastic Man (2004) #8-9 where Plas has to assassinate Lincoln after John Wilkes Booth is thrown into the future which messes up the DC continuity. Best part of it is that Plas is distracted by something else when back in time and Woozy Winks has to shoot Lincoln.
That pic of Bryce was funny. Lol!! :)
3:57 i thought even superman's hair was "made of steel"
You should do Uncle Sam (and his civil war counterparts Johnny Reb and Billy Yank) in comics.
If the question is ever a variation of "which one of superman's friends.... somehow screwed something up terribly" The answer is ALWAYS 'Jimmy Olsen' :D
My favorite comics meet real world story is for sure Superman Secret Identity. I love the premise of a boy finding out he has Superman's power inside a world where Superman is a comic book character.
Another good one is The Amazing Screw-on Head from Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy. It's a short one shot but still awesome.
Regarding the part sttarting at around 4:00 - I haven't seen any comment where anyone answers your question about Jimmy Olsen's time travel experience, so having read that issue when it came out I'll answer it for you. The machine in question was supposed to enable Jimmy to relive previous incarnations of himself (as in reincarnation) not his ancestors, and he experienced them firsthand in their own bodies but with his own memories instead of theirs. The story involved three different incarnations but the relevant one was the third and last.
He wound up being the guard who was assigned to guard Lincoln's balcony seating arrangements from outside. Aware of Lincoln's fate and determined not to let Booth get past him... he fell asleep. He wakes up to the sound of the gunshot and is prepared to go after Booth to make amends - only to wind up returning to the present before he can even make the attempt.
So he blamed himself for messing up.
However, the story concludes with the BS explanation that it was discovered that he (the guard) was *supposed* to let Booth slip past so that Booth could be caught (and stopped) in the act of *attempting* to assassinate Lincoln, only someone else who was *really* supposed to stop Booth was the one who messed up. This is of course nonsense as no such thing has ever been established in reality; it was just as keep Olsen from feeling like a failure because of what he did (or failed to do) in a past life... as if anyone would care.
You probably learned this afterward, but just in case anyone seeing this video is curious, that's the story. I was 11 years old when this story was published and read it a number of times... though i confess I'd forgotten what his other two incarnations were about (only that they also involved some major history-changing failure in a past life).
Note: I wrote this right after I watched you asking the question; pausing the video before watching the rest of it.
Lee was an executive producer of the 1990s animated TV series Spider-Man. He appeared as himself in animated form in the series finale episode titled "Farewell, Spider-Man". Spider-Man is transported by Madame Web into the "real" world where he is a fictional character. He meets Lee and the two swing around until Spider-Man drops him off on top of a building.
You're welcome Scott
i love the irony with bryce. was that intended from the start or just super funny by acident?
Happy late BDay Abe
How about Suberboy #85, "The Impossible Mission". Another story where Kal-El (as Superboy this time) goes back in time to try to stop Lincoln's assassination. He meets (an adult) Lex Luthor, who paralyzes him with Red Kryptonite, preventing him from saving Lincoln, and so he learns that history can't be changed. I'm not sure if a living Lincoln is shown in that story, or only his corpse.
Avoiding Atlantis from sinking?
Woudnt that have influence on aquamans history or did he not yet exist in the DC comics universe back then?
In Image's "Invincible" we find out that in a previous life Immortal was Abraham Lincoln: www.comicvine.com/the-immortal/4005-41141/
Did you know that Abe actually knew how wrestle before he became president
THE MORE YA KNOW!
In a mini issue of The ASM cap tells Spidey how he got transported to the past and watched the Gettysburg address
Trivia challenge- THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER MAN!!!! WOO!!
Surprised this hasn't been mentioned, but Abraham Lincoln appeared in Batman Brave and the Bold, the animated TV show from the late 2000's. In the cold opening to Mitefall! Batman goes back in time to save Honest Abe from a steam punk John Wilke's Booth. After saving him, Batman accepts Lincoln's thanks for saving his life, before Batman reveals he is in alternate universe 5501. Wish this would happen in real life!
One of the first people to be recruited by apocalypse as a horseman in X factor was a guy called Abraham Lincoln *karros*
(I think) who lived in an iron lung machine
Dude no love for Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter yes it sounds like the most we todd did premise ever but its surprisingly good. Next up Ghandi vs godzilla or ben franklin vs mechazombies
the animus works like in the comic, but its interactive. like playing a game as opposed to watching a movie.
Abraham's Bodyguard didn't fall asleep... He went to the bar across the street...
Dude, you missed the superhero leader of the Guardians of the Globe: The Immortal! From Image comics. No big deal, it just would have been cool to see the Invincible comic on your show.
LOL @ that Horse.
holy mother of god... thats scott 2 years younger... (scarred for life)
Captain American heard the Gettysburg Address
In Justice League of America actor Abraham Lincoln kills president John Wilkes Booth on earth 3, with first showing of the crime syndicate (Supervillains similar to Justice League but Ultraman instead of Superman, Power Ring instead of Green Lantern, Super Woman instead of Wonder Woman and Owl Man instead of Batman and Johnny Quick instead of Flash and also had the Justice Society of America in that issue.
Scott Niswander A.K.A Rat-Man
I will looking for the deadpool comics you mention here thanks
Not sure about the TV show that Stan Lee appeared in, but I do know that there is a comic where Spidey saves Stan Lee, inspiring Stan the Man to write comics about Spider Man! Which puts Stan in a lot of danger and Spider Man saves him another time telling Stan making his Spider Man comics will continue to endanger Stan, convincing Stan to stop writing comics for Spidey
Scott...what about the Superman issue with JFK learning Clark Kent was Superman...that came out circ November 1963.

The SpiderMan show in a different universe that is almost destroyed by carnage. That is my guess. Even though this episode is really old and has probably been shared to everyone in your next video.

In Invincible Abraham Lincoln somehow becomes immortal and becomes the superhero The Immortal. In an alternate future he even becomes king of the

Why not have your 3 distraction friends come join for some nerd talk! make a series called Nerd Quad Sync!
There's one comic hanging on the wall behind you that I can't make out very well. It's also in other videos, but in this video we see it straight on, instead of at an angle, but I still can't make out the title. It's the primarily pink and black cover,and it looks like Caulder or Collider or Childer, or something. Please, tell me what the title is, before it drives me crazy!
I found it! It's Collider #1, a Vertigo comic that ties into the FBP, The Federal Bureau of Physics. I downloaded and read it. It's interesting, but like too many new issues, it's way too "introductory" to have a real story in it--it's just setting things up for future issues.
Scooby doo rules
The best Abraham Lincoln in the comics, is the Immortal from the Invincible.
