@FDS You act like Lincoln hasn't used the Batman Gambit before to get his sisters out of the way when he wants to do something. Left in the Dark, Project Loud House, and even The Green House are good examples of this. It doesn't extend to just his sisters either. In Shell Shock he made a fake egg to give to Ronalda so he could keep the real one (despite forgetting which egg was which), he and the rest of the family convinced Lynn Sr to get a new van, in No Such Luck he spread the lie about his false luck to get alone time, and in Fed Up he and his sisters worked their butts off to get their dad to order pizza. Also, in Health Kicked he comes up with the idea to trick the parents into thinking they reached their fitness goals.

To say his plans always fail is completely false. Lincoln's plans do work to a degree. He convinced his parents to let him babysit Lily to avoid going to Aunt Ruth's, he got Lana to win a beauty pageant on her first try, he covered for all of his sisters in Cover Girls while they were out, Lincoln helped Clyde learn some facts about being an older sibling, tried to mold Lily to be just like him (until his sisters decided they wanted the same thing), plotted to overthrow Lori when she was in charge, and he came up with the idea to make a good family photo for their parents' anniversary. His plan in Room With A Feud did work until the girls started arguing again, so Lisa just used a machine to find perfect matches. Then, we have TyeDye's examples where he taught Leni how to drive, plotted to get revenge on Luan in Fools Paradise, and the numerous times he had gotten himself out of a tight spot. If Lincoln didn't plan anything, he'd be a stale character.

You say the sisters never fail like their plans work flawlessly, which is also false. Lori realized that she could've put Leni in serious jeapoardy in Driving Miss Hazy, Lola's prank literally blew up on her and the others at the end of Sound of Silence and Lincoln found dirt to blackmail her with to level the battlefield. Lisa didn't really intend to enjoy the snow, but she did anyways. Lucy thought she put a silent spell on her siblings, but saw how much it was making them suffer and tried to undo it (despite the fact all of it was due to sheer coincidence). Also there's Back in Black where the girls tried to change Lucy but failed, and it was Lincoln's advice that helped her with Rocky. You can argue that Lincoln did the same thing in Making the Grade, but in that case it actually worked for both Lincoln and Lisa until it became apparent that the characters needed Lisa for handling trivial things (besides the strep throat incident). In a Fair to remember, the only reason Lori's plan worked was because Lincoln saw how upset she was since Bobby was spending time with him now (doesn't excuse her for being petty) and the only sister whose plan worked without much issue was Luan's April Fools Rules (which is still the worst thing to happen to her character).

As for Funny Business, Lincoln got too big of an ego and was inexperienced with handling teens, so of course he'd fall short on that end. Luan admitted even she had a hard time at first. As for Hand Me Downer, Lincoln could've thought to remodel it, but because of peer pressure due to those boys suddenly showing up out of nowhere, he needed to find a way to impress them, and since Lynn happened to arrive at that moment, taking the time to remodel the bike was the furthest thing from his mind understandably.

Now, onto the strength aspect. The examples you listed are those where Lincoln wouldn't even put up a fight. Lana unexpectedly jumped him, he was too upset to resist Lola calmly pushing his head back out the door, he was too afraid of Lola's wrath that he let himself get pushed down like he did, and you can suspend someone in the air if you anchor yourself properly. My brother weighs more than I can lift but I can keep hims suspended if I have a good grip. He's gotten into numerous sibling fights will all of his sisters and everyone came out with the same amount of injuries.

I'm sure Haiku knows about Jack and Jill given how often its talked about in the poetry aspect of elementary school English.

Also...ear pulling? Really? Have you ever had your ear pulled? That's a flimsy, thin piece of cartilage full of nerves sticking out the sides of your head. If pulled hard enough, it can make anyone wince in pain. It's not like arm pulling since your arm is a sturdy structure. I've had it done to me before and I'm sure you have too.

Lastly, hate to bring this up but I know you edited your post a bit since I was writing.

"You give Lincoln more credit than I do. I know how it is to be overshadowed from my own experience and I see Lincoln as overshadowed sibling and being no match for his sisters is a true pity."

I think you hold Lincoln a bit too close to home. I like Lincoln, but I understand he has his strengths that make him on par with the rest of his sisters. His plans do work, for a while. It's just that something always comes up to make it backfire, as it's the show's running gag. The sisters have the same issue as I stated before when it came to their ideas. Biggest example would be Brawl in the Family where, even though Lincoln was holding the Idiot Ball, the girls went through extreme lengths to avoid talking to each other which wasn't working out well when multiple sisters had beefs with each other.

Lincoln isn't some sad sack whose just the black sheep of his family, he's the brother of several sisters who love him dearly despite having odd ways of showing it.
