Goodman succeeded Cheif Judge Fargo as Chief Judge of Mega-City One shortly after the Atomic Wars of 2070 and was well liked by his people. The years that followed saw the establishment of a firm but stable government, yet there were two major crises during his time in power.

The advent of the robots' rebellion saw Goodman change his mind extremely fast and Judge Dredd took up his badge once more to put down the revolt. The Chief Judge knew just how much the city owed Dredd and how much it depended on him, so when he was forced to convict Judge Dredd of murder after he was framed by Deputy Chief Judge Cal, Goodman found it very hard to come to terms with his decision. Even after Judge Dredd had demonstrated his innocence, the Chief Judge was a broken man and Cal was free to plot his demise.
