THE MIGHTY FIST:1000 HITS STRONG
This here is my 1000 hits spectacular. Well over 1000 people have visited my site since I put in my hitcounting apparatus, and I like to think that at least 900 of them aren't me. Well you at home (or at work, or school, or wherever you might be enjoying my site) might be saying: "Jeremy, I've read all of your Mr. T vs X comics, seen your link buttons, gone to your forum, visited all of your links, and you may be the father of my baby. There's nothing I don't know already." Well you're probly right, but what the hell, you've read this far.
MAD PROPS
Before I get into the history of this site, I guess I better thank the little people who have helped me along the way. First and foremost, Mr. T vs Everything. Without this site, I wouldn't have made it nearly this far, so to them I give mad props. And of course, no Mr. T site webmaster could be without The Mr. T Resource Archive and their many, many Mr. T pictures. Also, I'd like to thank all of the various sites from whom I've pilfered pics from along the way. You know who you are, and if you don't, that's probly better because chances are, I didn't ask for them. I also thank my school for offering a webmastering class, where I learned HTML, and gained my admiration for the helluva tough Mr. T. I guess that's it. Oh yeah, and I'd like to thank you the viewer too (aww...idn't dat sweet?).
THE HISTORY OF T, ACCORDING TO ME
It all started in Webmastering class, where me and Wad were blowing off the class by searching the internet for amusing pics. Eventually, as all things do, our searching turned to Mr. T. I've always thought Mr. T was funny, and always liked gold chains and milk (at least in cereal), but the world of Mr. T vs X really opened it all up. Before long, I decided to create a T vs X of my own. The guy who played Chewbacca in the Star Wars movies just happened to live in the same town that I did, so he seemed to be the natural target. Creatively and technologically, it wasn't too bad, for a first effort, and would probably still make me laugh. Sadly, the page in it's entirety dissapeared under mysterious circumstances, and I already deleted the pics off my hard drive, so they're gone forever. Next came Mr. T vs Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter; and Mr. T vs John Wilkes Booth. With Mr. T vs Fidel Castro I decided that it would be best if I had a page to link all my Mr. T vs X sites together, so thus, The Mighty fist of Mr. T was born. Initially I only made the sites to amuse myself and my friends, so they were the only ones really to visit it. Naturally, hits were low. Soon I decided that I must promote my site, or else it may go the way of Mr. T vs Chewbacca, never to be seen again. So I hit the figurative pavement, whoring out my site to whoever might listen, and I submitted it to all kinds of search engines, but still I got few hits. I was about to give up, and just go play battletoads for a while, when I remembered that I had a few T vs X's on Mr. T vs Everything, and they haven't dissapeared, so I submitted The Mighty Fist itself, rather than the individual pages, and hits increased exponentially, and I had a drunken orgy to celebrate. No wait. That last part was a lie. But the point is, I owe all my success to Mr. T vs Everything.
THE INDIVIDUAL COMICS (WITH PICTURES!)
This is the only remaining picture from Mr. T vs Chewbacca. In it, Chewbacca planned to take over the local youth center in Granbury Texas to make a Star Wars and Junk Food store, and Mr. T wouldn't hear of it. There was no fight scene to speak of, and most of the comic was Mr. T looking for Granbury. After being thrown by T, Chewbacca hit the Millenium Falcon, Han Solo's spaceship.
Mr. T vs The Crocodile was my second effort. The Croc Hunter happened to be my favorite show at the time, and I realized that both Mr. T and Steve Irwin were tough. Who would win if they were to fight? Well, obviously the answer would be Mr. T, or else I would be doing Steve Irwin vs X comics (Hey, not a bad idea!). The major innovation in this one was that Steve actually fought back. And I still think that Rocky pic is funny.
I liked this one a lot. The innovation in this one was that Mr. T actually had a plan, rather than just running in and fighting. The hard part was fixing the b&w pics, as white shows up as clear in paint, my pitiful photoshop buddy. I refused to do any research for this one, but it didn't seem to hurt. However, I doubt John Wilkes Booth actually said, "EAT LEAD, LINCOLN!" Although I could be wrong.
An interesting fact is that as far as I can find, there are no pictures of Fidel Castro from below the upper chestal area. Thinking quickly, I simply photoshopped Fidel Castro's Head on Skeletor's body. The result: Really stupid pictures.
This one could have been great. Could have been one of the best. Sadly there are next to zero pictures of smokey the Bear on the internet. No joke. The only innovation in this one as far as I could see is that it's the first comic I've made to have a swear word in it. Unless you count helluva, which I don't.
After T vs Smokey, I was kind of bummed, and didn't want to make another. However, The evils of Ronald McDonald were too many to ignore. He has clogged far too many arteries with his "food," polluted the earth far too much with his non-biodigradable containers, and, lets face it, clowns are pretty frickin scary to begin with. This one seemed pretty short to me, so I added an A-Team adventure with Jason. As a result, this one became the longest comic I've made. On a related note, the McDarkzone was created because I was too lazy to photoshop in backgrounds.
After my satisfaction with Mr. T vs Ronald and Jason, I was motivated to create a follow-up. That follow up is Mr. T vs the Evil Dead. This one was centered around action, and action movie one-liners, and I thought it worked well for the format. Surprisingly long.
This one beat Mr. T vs Ronald and Jason as the longest comic I've made. I liked having all those guest stars, because the different personalities was a refreshing change. Sometimes I feel constricted by the limitations of Mr. T's character, as strong as it is. Storywise, Mr. T didn't really have much of a good reason to fight Barret. Just that Barret looked a lot like him, and his swearing ways were a bad influence on the kids. The last three comics came out so close together that it seemed like I was just churning them out with no real innovations, so I hit a massive writers block. I am just now coming out of it.
THE FUTURE OF THE MIGHTY FIST
It's been a long time since I've updated, but rest assured, there will be more. In fact, I'm about to start work on Mr. T vs Krang:
And after that, I plan to do something epic. I haven't ironed out any of the details yet, except that the story will be called Foolquest: The Pitying. In the future I hope to add some more features, and some games. If you have any to contribute, feel free. My e-mail address is in the feedback area.
Keep coming, I'll keep updating.
