Everyone knows Hannibal Lector was based off of Col. John "Hannibal" Smith of the A-Team. The same as Dexter Morgan is based on Dexter Holland, noted molecular biologist and lead singer of "The Offspring", Patrick Bateman was based on British caricaturist H.M. Bateman, and Ed Gein and Ted Bundy were based on Buffalo Bill Cody from the Wild West show. ("Silence of the Lambs" author Thomas Harris was a buffalo, and thus considered Cody to be history's greatest monster.)

Arguing otherwise is just silly.
