Comic Book Fight Club!!!

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team...

John "Hannibal" Smith vs Rick Flag
Templeton "Face(man)" Peck  vs Plastique
Bosco Albert "B.A." Baracus vs Deadshot
Howling Mad Murdock vs Captain Boomerang

What am I talking about????

If you like The A-Team or The Suicide Squad you definitely want to check check this out...
