Mr. T is back, fool.

The muscled and heavily accessorized actor who helped lead television's ``The A-Team'' has lately popped up in TV ads for 1-800-COLLECT, Lipton foods and Nick at Nite.

``This is my comeback,'' he told Time magazine for its March 19 issue. ``I'm here to entertain the people like no one else can. But you have to have a setback in order to have a comeback.''

That came six years ago when he was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma. Mr. T, whose real name is Lawrence Tureaud, kept news of the disease quiet, but soon decided to strike back.

``I decided to bring cancer out of the closet,'' says the 48-year-old former Army officer, bodyguard and professional wrestler. Now I wear my cancer like I wear my blackness - I'm proud!''
