History
In life, I tried to destroy my enemies by making friends of them... but making corpses of my enemies is so much more fulfilling.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States of America, he was a self-taught Illinois lawyer and legislator with a reputation as an eloquent opponent of slavery.[2]
American Civil War
His election that November pushed several Southern states to secede by the time of his inauguration in March 1861, and the Civil War began barely a month later. Contrary to expectations, Lincoln proved to be a shrewd military strategist and a savvy leader during what became the costliest conflict ever fought on American soil. His Emancipation Proclamation, issued in 1863, freed all slaves in the rebellious states and paved the way for slavery's eventual abolition, while his Gettysburg Address later that year stands as one of the most famous and influential pieces of oratory in American history.[3]
Assassination
In April 1865, President Lincoln was shot and killed by John Wilkes Booth; his untimely death made him a martyr to the cause of liberty and Union. Over the years Lincoln's mythic stature has only grown, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest presidents in the nation's history.[1]
Gorgilla
While taking a tour of Washington, D.C., Gorgilla along with the "The Man in the Blue Pajamas" at the Lincoln Memorial he noticed how the statue of Abraham Lincoln was transformed into a statue of Zarrko the Tomorrow Man. Moments later, Zarrko himself teleported in and Gorgilla heard the time-tossed tyrant say his plan to become president of the world had worked. Angered by this, the man-ape threw a giant slab of pavement at Zarrko, thereby apparently killing him. Gorgilla found Zarrko's time glove and by accident was teleported to April 15th, 1865 where he inadvertently prevented John Wilkes Booth and Zarrko from killing president Lincoln. While grabbing Zarrko he was teleported back to the present creating Earth-97666. It is in the new timeline he noticed the statue of Lincoln was now holding a puppet. In this timeline Gorgilla had become the president himself, he figured he should let the Man in the Blue Pajamas fix this, but only after he enjoyed being president for one day.[1]
Zombie
As a Zombie
President Lincoln was later raised from the dead as a Zombie along with George Washington. Together they planned to burn the US to the ground in hopes of starting from scratch. Deadpool tried to stop them at Independence Hall. Deadpool then made a joke about how he was "killed by an actor", in response Zombie Lincoln shot Deadpool in the back of the head, through the left eyeball, "John Wilkes Booth style".[4]
