character’s past we have chosen to
primarily follow the storyline that
unfolded in 1977 British anthology
magazine 2008 dnumber – which was
expanded upon in its 2006 origin story
arc in his debut appearance Judge Dredd
was introduced as the most famed and
prestigious of the elite police force
known as the street judges from the 22nd

devastating firepower and advanced
computer AI just as justice has no
identity dreads face is never revealed
in the comics as he is always wearing
his helmet interestingly in the early
adventures his artists kept changing the
proportions of his lips and jaw as each
envisioned him with a different racial
background in mind the comics creators
also chose to name their hero Dredd in
order to reflect the fear and panic he
would have oak in the hearts of
criminals you want to be afraid of
somebody from a while Dredd has remained
a mysterious comic-book hero his origin
has been revealed to be the product of
cloning created alongside his twin
brother Rico he is the heir and DNA
equivalent of Chief Judge Fargo the
first chief judge growing up in the
Academy of law he was conditioned to
spend every waking moment on patrol this
makes him a unique hero that never takes
a break when not fighting crime he
returns to the Grand Hall of Justice
only to spend ten minutes in a sleep
machine and to rearm before returning to
his never-ending duty as a subject of
genetic manipulation and conditioning
Dredd is unable to ignore any crime and
goes as far as to address even the most
minor of offenses what I don’t believe
it

this is your fourth violation of our
breath you are minute how do you plead
not guilty I knew you’d say that hey
what do you do it good night captain
motor a law enforcement officer with
advanced skills and an unstoppable
nature he has had to deal with such
events as a robot uprising and the
disgrace of his brother Rico who
revealed himself to be a dirty judge who
sought to frame dread and ruin his
career
I shouldn’t put you down my son
throughout the years and his countless
adventures Dredd has come to question
his existence and role in the dystopian
future even sometimes sympathizing with
the plight of the downtrodden citizens
and muse but has always maintained the
law throughout the flagship entry in the
sci-fi comic compilation 2000ad Dredd
has increasingly continued to be
featured prominently and is even aged
with the comic books in real time just
as his first comic appearance was in
1977 and that story was set in 2099 the
real world and fictional timelines have
continued to advance in step with one
another the no-nonsense character has
received two feature film adaptations
one in 1995 starring Sylvester Stallone
as well as a 2012 remake starring Karl
Urban that tried to stay closer to the
gritty comic book simply titled Dredd
