Mr. A (Comic Book) | comment |
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.Philosophical elements aside, Mr. A marked Ditko's shift from working on contract for mainstream publishers like Marvel and DC to more creator-owned projects; Mr. A was first published in the Wallace Wood founded Underground Comics series witzend and was later collected in self-published comics Ditko distributed himself.Alan Moore disliked this character strongly and portrayed this type of character in a rather twisted way as Watchmen's Rorschach. | |

Secret Identity: One that's every bit as much a champion of objectivism, journalist Rex Graine. | |

Gentleman Thief | |
Mr. A (Comic Book) / int_20d965e | comment |
Gentleman Thief: Deconstructed in the story "Count Rogue". The titular Count Rogue acted Affably Evil toward his marks (while insulting all of them in his head) as part of a complicated plan to embarrass a rival at his day job who had been promoted before him. Mr. A is the only person who doesn't buy into the mystique of the Count as a noble thief, except for a burglar who randomly breaks into the Count's home at the end of the story, and gives an oddly on-the-nose "Not So Different" Remark while trying to blackmail his way into a "partnership". | |

Black-and-White Morality: The driving force behind the comic. Mr. A's entire outfit is portrayed as pure white because of this, and his "calling card" is half-black, half-white. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
Mr. A (Comic Book) / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: A rare heroic example. In the very first Mr. A story, the protagonist forces an excessively gullible and naive woman to choose whether he should save her or her friend the villain when both are in grave danger, in order to prove that her philosophy doesn't work. Made somewhat more reasonable by the fact that the bad guy is a complete Card-Carrying Straw Hypocrite and murderous psychopath, who had also stabbed the woman in the guts moments before, which was the reason she urgently required medical attention in the first place. | |
