Born in 1967 of [[Steve Ditko]]'s fascination with [[Objectivism]], Mr. A is a 'superhero' without observable powers aside from his steel gloves and mask, similar to the first incarnations of [[The Question]]. [[Alan Moore]] disliked this character '''strongly''' and portrayed this type of character in a rather twisted way as ''[[Watchmen]]'''s Rorschach. In ''[[Street Fighter]] 3'', a character named Q also appears to be based on him.
 
Philosophical elements aside, ''Mr. A'' marked Ditko's shift from working on contract for mainstream publishers like Marvel and D.C. to more creator-owned projects; ''Mr. A'' was first published in the [[Underground Comics]] series ''witzend'' and was later collected in self-published comics Ditko distributed himself.
