* Before the proliferation of [[Chuck Norris Facts]], there were the "[[Mr. T]] vs ______" websites. To quote from a [https://web.archive.org/web/20030414225930/http://members.aol.com/immurdoc/a-team/mrtvs.htm defunct Web site] describing the phenomenon:

{{quote|The ''Mr. T Vs'' character is an extremely simplified version of a complicated, and in fact deeply weird individual. It has some resemblance to the persona [[Mr. T]] has tried over the years, with varying degrees of success, to project to the public. The Mr. T of ''Mr. T Vs'' has more traits in common with the B.A. Baracus character Mr. T played on ''[[The A-Team]]''. He is afraid of flying. He drinks milk. He works at youth centers. He doesn't (usually) swear. He can make tanks out of toasters. He speaks ungrammatically. He has little tolerance for crazy fools. However the ''Mr. T Vs'' persona has exaggerated, in fact super-human, abilities. To be specific, he can "throw helluva far" and, unaffected by most weapons, is "helluva tough". Also he is almost always hostile towards his A-Team compatriots in the rare times they appear in the strips. And he speaks even more ungrammatically than the B.A. character. Of course, that could be due to the authors' personal disregard for the English language and/or inability to spell.}}
