Does Mahdi stand for a particular person, or for a category of person.

As you mention, I recall Gordon fighting against the Mahdi, and Corporal Jones in Dad's Army (if you know the classic British comedy series) is often speaking of fighting the Mad Mahdi in the Sudan.

Was and is that Mahdi considered by some Muslims to be THE Mahdi?

Which Mahdi are the Muslims reported in the press expecting?
