Judge Dredd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3649 words)
Joe Dredd, one of a number of clones of Chief Judge Fargo, is the most famous of the elite corps of Judges who run Mega-City One with the power not only to enforce the law, but also to instantly pass judgements on criminals and (if necessary) execute them.
Dredd has a large, computer-driven "Lawmaster" motorbike, a Lawgiver handgun coded to his palm-print that fires six types of bullets, a daystick, bootknife, and a uniform with a helmet that obscures all of his face except his mouth and jaw.
Dredd was the leader of the rebel Judges who overthrew Cal; after Cal's death at the hands of Fergee, a dweller of the Mega-City's undercity, he was offered the job of Chief Judge but refused it, as he believed he was needed far more out on the streets.
