'''Abraham "Abe" Lincoln''' was the King of [[Mars]] who debuts in the original [[animated short]], where he encourages [[Finn]] to believe in himself after warping his brain in the past and to [[Mars]].

Abraham Lincoln is a notable figure outside of Mars and many refer to him on Earth. In "[[Business Time]]," Lincoln is seen as a character included in a game on [[BMO]]. He is mentioned in "[[Crystals Have Power]]," when [[Jake]] states, "If I had a penny for every time someone went crazy hopped up on magic energy... I'd be Abraham Lincoln!" He is also referenced in [[Issue 3]] of the [[Adventure Time (comic)|''Adventure Time'' comic]]. When Finn is telling everyone how to beat [[The Lich (character)|The Lich]], he says that just like Abraham Lincoln said in the past and on Mars, "you need to believe in yourself," however it is highly unlikely that he intended to quote Lincoln.

==Appearance==
  +
Abraham Lincoln is modeled closely after the {{w|Abraham Lincoln|Abraham Lincoln}} in real life. He wears a black suit with a black bow tie. Two major differences from his real-life appearance are that, in the show, he has the ability to float, like [[Marceline]], and he has a yellow light surrounding his head (only in the animated short). He also doesn't wear his famed stovepipe hat. Unlike most characters, his hands have five fingers. He sits atop a throne that is engraved with the symbol ♂, the astrological symbol of Mars, which has come to also represent "male" in contemporary popular culture. This symbol can also be found in the arena in which Lincoln sits nearby at.

This article is about the character. You may be looking for the Real Person.

Abraham "Abe" Lincoln was the King of Mars who debuts in the original animated short, where he encourages Finn to believe in himself after warping his brain in the past and to Mars. His first appearance in the official series is in one of the framed pictures in Hunson Abadeer's house. Lincoln plays a major role in the episode "Sons of Mars," where he loses his immortality (and seemingly his life) in order to save Jake after he was accidentally killed and sent to the 37th Dead World. As a result, Lincoln turns to stone and becomes a statue for all of eternity.

Abraham Lincoln is a notable figure outside of Mars and many refer to him on Earth. In "Business Time," Lincoln is seen as a character included in a game on BMO. He is mentioned in "Crystals Have Power," when Jake states, "If I had a penny for every time someone went crazy hopped up on magic energy... I'd be Abraham Lincoln!" He is also referenced in Issue 3 of the Adventure Time comic. When Finn is telling everyone how to beat The Lich, he says that just like Abraham Lincoln said in the past and on Mars, "you need to believe in yourself," however it is highly unlikely that he intended to quote Lincoln.

Lincoln is shown to have ruled Mars for thousands of years in "Orgalorg." It is unknown if he ever lived on earth as the real Lincoln did.

Appearance

Abraham Lincoln is modeled closely after the Abraham Lincoln in real life. He wears a black suit with a black bow tie. Two major differences from his real-life appearance are that, in the show, he has the ability to float, like Marceline, and he has a yellow light surrounding his head (only in the animated short). He also doesn't wear his famed stovepipe hat. Unlike most characters, his hands have five fingers. He sits atop a throne that is engraved with the symbol ♂, the astrological symbol of Mars, which has come to also represent "male" in contemporary popular culture. This symbol can also be found in the arena in which Lincoln sits nearby at.

Lincoln speaks in a colloquial vernacular of the late 20th century, much different from his published speeches in the 19th century. He uses phrases such as "bums me out" and "I remember when you were really cool" and is extremely expressive and emotional, especially during his sentencing of Magic Man. He is not without subtlety, however, such as the private joke he shared with Death.

Quotes

Pen, your mind has been transported back in time, and to Mars.

Animated short

If you had just learned to care about living things again you could have come back whenever you wanted, instead you bummed around Ooo acting like a jerk for 200 years.

—"Sons of Mars"

Magic Man I give you two choices: one is total annihilation. The wand will touch you and your soul will meet with Death; the second is to use the power of the wand to convert your body to living stardust where your consciousness will be jettisoned in the infinite cosmos on an endless journey of wonder and discovery!
