Judd was originally a Judge, Head of Genetics at the Justice Department and a prominent member of the Council of Five. His Tek-Judges had perfected cloning with a number of successes - most notably Judge Joe Dredd, who had been cloned from the DNA of Chief Judge Fargo.

After the Atomic Wars of 2070AD, Mega-City One was left in turmoil. As a result Judd proposed a radical solution to the problem of policing an overcrowded city, packed with 400 million potential criminals. The solution was to clone the citizens, as well as the Judges, to create a docile and obedient population. Although he had some support amongst many of his colleagues, Chief Judge Fargo rejected the idea, pointing out that the Judges' first duty was to serve, not control.

In a failed attempt to assassinate Fargo, Judd and a number of his followers were scheduled for execution. However, they were rescued at the last moment and fled Mega-City One with a batch of genetic material.


Unable to apprehend Judd, he was presumed dead until he reappeared almost forty years later. Judd and his followers had built a secret base inside the caves of Ayers Rock in the Radback of Australia, breeding their own army of 'Judges' called the Judda from the DNA stock he had taken from the Justice Department. His plan was to despatch a group of them via sophisticated teleportation devices to Mega-City One in order to kill several key Judges. This failed when Judge Dredd captured one of the group and used his teleportation device to return to Judd's base. Judd panicked and tried to accelerate his mass assault on the Grand Hall of Justice, but Dredd used Judd's device to get back there first. Forewarned, the Judges were ready for the onslaught and Dredd teleported an armed nuke back to Ayers Rock, destroying Judd and the remainder of his followers. Uluru (also Ayers Rock or The Rock) is a large rock formation in central Australia, in the Northern Territory. ...
