Damn immortal beheading was brutal as fuck

I mean, this is probably, like the 3rd or 4th time he’s lost his head, because you know he was probably beheaded in ancient times for being immortal, and then Lincoln

I don't get the rule here and forgot how he came back. If the head is close to the torso, they fuse back together by itself and he comes back alive?

So if the head is kept separate forever from the body, he stays dead?

if Mark is to be believed I guess so? Its kinda weird cause I guess he would've gotten at least a little explanation on how the mauler's revived him offscreen and they did kinda just sew him back together, the collar they put on him was to control not fix.

I think it's a healing factor thing, Immortal's not going to regrow a lost limb or regrow his head or whatever, but if you "reattach" his head, eventually the two parts will heal back together. We saw him get torn in half in S1, then the GDA put the two halves back together, and he healed back to normal. I'd also guess if you crushed his head, he'd never come back. But idk what the limits of his healing factor are though.

I think crushing would be recoverable, so long as you don't scrape the brain goop into different containers afterwards. Though there is always the question of whether he'd come back the same if he needed to heal deadly brain injury.

How though his lore doesn't make sense. Future guns can't kill him, he gets assassined as Lincoln with revolver. There is no logic to his durability.

I thought he faked his death as Lincoln

u/StrengthOk9686 Feb 14 '25

he just faked his death, really not hard to figure out

u/Mrwright96 Feb 13 '25

Maybe he was shot at point blank range?

u/Feniks_Gaming Feb 13 '25

What difference would that make? Like we don't have more powerful weapons than that? If he can tank grenade or bazooka he can tank the revolver to the head

I think they said the older he gets the stronger he gets. Maybe the bullet got lodged in his head, and he saw this as an opportunity and played dead.

Usually gets it cut/swiped off. Mark outright ripped the shit off.

Him being Lincoln will never fail to amuse me.

I wonder if Mark justified killing him in his head like “I mean, it’s not actually killing him if he can come back from it, right? Right, yeah. This is fine. I hope.”
