Judge Dredd Respect Thread

Dredd is a future cop with the legal powers of Judge, Jury, and Executioner, according to the ancient Egyptian Mummy, Ankhor, and his followers, Dredd is descended from a pure bloodline of peak genetic material.

Judge Dredd is a clone of a man named Eustace Fargo.

Judge Fargo was seen as the most talented, fittest, and most competent Judge who ever existed, so well respected was he that he was cloned 6 times to carry on his bloodline. The 6 children were trained immediately from birth, out of the 6 only 2, Joe Dredd, and Rico Dredd reached adulthood. Joe later killed Rico in self defense after he went rogue.

Fighting Skill

Dredd defeats Stan Lee in H2H, who is described as a martial arts master and the greatest martial artist to have ever come out of the Radlands of Ji (China) (Meg 3.62)

Pics in Reverse Order

Dredd fights Orlok, one of the best trained and most dangerous assassins in the world. Orlok was Eat-Meg One's greatest operative, he was given over to the state as a child and every year he and the other children would be dumped in a Gulag 100 at a time with only enough food to feed 50, only the strongest survived.

Dredd beats the 4 year-running Daystick fighting champion.

For backstory - Dredd suspects this Judge to have used excessive force on a civilian resulting in her death (which he did), but Dredd can't prove it so the guy's basically gotten away with it.

Shooting Accuracy

Dredd shoots the communicator switch on a Lawmaster on so that he can order it to pick him up when he's suffocating.

Dredd shoots through a wire that Stan Lee is swinging from to stop him without injuring him. (2000ad 541)

Dredd kills a group of mutants instinctively (he has amnesia, his face has been burned beyond recognition).

(The Dead Man tpb)

The boy mentions that nearly every shot was a head or heart shot.

Dredd outdraws a robot, his draw time is faster than 0.002 of a second (2000ad 43)

Dredd reacts quickly to an oncoming missile, pulling a shield off of a nearby statue and wheeling around in time to block.

Intelligence

Dredd is street smart and thinks on his feet, people rarely manage to trick him, and he is often able to come up with novel ideas to get himself out of difficult situations

Dredd wrote a book on Judging named "Comportment", which is highly regarded.

Often cautious, and not jumping to conclusions he double checks all the options and works out that Mayor Ambrose is PJ Maybe in disguise. (Tour of Duty: MegaCity Justice tpb)

Dredd using prep here when coming up against the superhero Fairly Hyperman. The only thing which can harm Fairly Hyperman is Green Kapokite, Dredd has bullets made up from this substance and then shoots the hero, who doesn't know they pose a danger to him and therefore doesn't bother dodging them. (Prog 530)

Dredd's bullets do nothing to Dracula so he changes tactics

Resiliency

Dredd is crucified for 7 days, living off the blood of the Dog-Vulture's that are unwise enough to get too close.

(Goodnight Kiss tpb)

After finally pulling himself down in pain-wracked delirium he immediately tracks down the guy who did it to him and still manages to win the fight.

Pics in Reverse Order

Here we see Dredd taking what looks like a superhuman level punch (he's flying backwards at an upwards angle) knocking him through a window and dropping down out of a building to street level (his fall is broken multiple times though), this seems to have little to no affect on him (Book of the Dead TPB)

Dredd's has an above average immune system, he contracts and survives the Sin City Plague, a Virus which reportedly kills over 89% of people infected with it. (Satan's Island TPB)

Pics in Reverse Order

This frame details the 89% mortality rate (note, Dredd was also one of the first to catch the virus as he was present at the source of the contagion when it was originally unleashed)

Dredd is blind after having his eyes gouged out, surrounded by monsters, and crawling through fire towards an enemy he knows he has pretty much no chance of beating. (City of the Damned tpb)

An injured Dredd stabs himself in the hand to stop from falling (Raptaur tpb)

Other Abilities

Dredd has bionic eyes (the originals were gouged out).

His bionic eyes give him -

1. 20/20 night vision

2. Enhanced Clarity over Distance

3. 50% less blinking time :lol:

(City of the Damned tpb)

Dredd is resilient to psychological attacks and completely immune to fear attacks.

Here, in this classic strip Judge Fear uses his power on him, a power which terrifies anyone who witness it to such a degree that it ordinarily kills them instantaneously, it barely effects Dredd at all. (Four Dark Judges tpb)

And again, Dredd is shot with a Nightmare gun (which is always fatal), and nothing happens -

A lot of Judges go crazy due to the constant stress of their lives, Dredd is amongst those who are completely unaffected, mainly due to the fact that constant danger is their natural state of being -

Pics in Reverse Order

Dredd is resilient to many kinds of psychic attacks and immune to telepathy.

Here Dredd shields important information from a high level telepath who's scanning him for weeks so that their plan is not discovered. Everyone else in on the plan has had a memory wipe and doesn't know anything about it, a code word spoken to them returns their memories when necessary.

Dredd is the only one who doesn't need the wipe, and so is in charge of speaking the code word when needed, he shields the info form the telepaths, and then activates the sleeper agents.

(Trifecta TPB)

Dredd fights against the illusion of the Sisters of Death, illusions that can kill people.

The Sisters of Death can take control of people in, and create illusions over a City-wide area.

Pics in muddled order, Pic 1 -> Pic 3 -> Pic 2

Raptaur's have a hypnotic attack, Dredd manages to fight it

The high level Psiker Vitus Dance takes control of Dredd, but Dredd stops himself from shooting another Judge and fights his control until the other Judge gets a shot off

Lawgiver

Fires 6 Different Types of Bullet and a Stun shot, also has a built in motion detector

Pics in Reverse Order

1. Standard (Tour of Duty: MegaCity Justice)

2. Heat-Seeker/Hot-Shot (Tour of Duty: The Backlash)

3. Ricochet (Tour of Duty: The Backlash)

4. Incendiary (Tour of Duty: The Backlash)

5. Armour Piercing (Meg 206)

6. Hi-Ex (Tour of Duty: The Backlash)

There are also some optional variants, you can swap Incendiary or Heatseeker for Gas Rounds.

There is no "Double Whammy"

The Lawgiver has a palm-print ID check, if it detects an unauthorized user attempting to fire it, it self-destructs (usually taking the user's hand and forearm with it). (Necropolis tpb)

Judges also carry Stumm gas grenades on them.

Lawmaster

Essentially its a 4000cc armor-plated motorbike with guns, GPS, and AI (Dredd can tell it a route and send it on without him, often doing this to distract perps whilst he creeps up on them).

Here, in this early-ish story you see Dredd give it basic instructions to follow. (The Judge Child tpb)

Here we see Dredd giving the Lawmaster orders on the fly.

He tells it to run this rogue Judge down until he's nothing but a smear on the ground -

The Bike also has a motion detector

It also has a Turbo boost

It can't fly though ;)

Uniform

The Judge Uniform is completely Shock-Resistant

And again here -

Bump

...Ah, I was going to create this myself, but this thread is amazing! :D

Thanks, I did a lot of it at the beginning of the year for KMC, I searched through issues for a few weeks.

I've been on a Judge Dredd binge this year so I've been keeping my eye out for feats, I had a huge backlog since the KMC thread but I stopped adding to it as there didn't seem like much interest (much like here seemingly).

@silent_bomber: I could tag people if you want more traffic.

Yeah, why not, could help.

I just ran into this very good strength scan on KMC that I must've missed -

Dredd stops a car of 4 very overweight people toppling off a road -

and just because

@silent_bomber: Being on my phone, I can't tag people now, but I will when I get on a desk top.

I came in here expecting the IDW Dredd and was pleasantly surprised, cool stuff.

nice thread man

Just thought I'd add this in case it was missed earlier, and go into some more depth.

Dredd's is not a normal human, and is not cloned from a mildly impressive normal human either, as mentioned earlier Ankhhor and his followers say that Fargo was part of some kind of fictional perfect genetic bloodline.

and

There's little mentioned about Fargo unfortunately, but everything about him is shown to be extremely impressive, and people who knew him seemed to be in awe of him. Before creating the Judge System itself and bringing law and order back to America, he had been an American Football star during his younger days.

Dredd was cloned from Fargo. Whilst in the vats he was already being taught by the machines, and was said to have more knowledge of the law than any street judge out there at the time even before he was born -

After being born he was trained day and night, Judges are allowed no social lives at all, and they didn't need to sleep at night either, as sleep machines would give them a full night sleep in a matter of minutes.

Dredd first saw active duty at physical age 12 (he was actually ~6 years old, but as mentioned above when they were born they were already a physical age of 6). This happened when the Judges first took control of the US after the Nukes were dropped, at this age he and his brother Rico could easily dispatch army soldiers with very little difficulty and no mercy

Speed and Accuracy

A group of crooks try to think of a way to deal with Dredd, they decide to send 1000 homing missiles keyed into his brain pattern.

Dredd runs, and then rides a Lawmaster whilst shooting them out of the air until he manages to get to cover, by the time he reaches cover he has dealt with ~100 missiles.

Intelligence

Here's Dredd thinking outside of the box again in a bid to deal with some smart crooks.

Uniform

The uniform affords protection against extreme temperatures

Here we see it protecting Judges from "Phosphor drops" which have set them on fire

and here we see Dredd running into a burning building that other Judges describe as a "blast furnace"

The SOVs are trying to destroy all evidence of their activities, Dredd wants to find out what's been going on there before its too late.

Dredd is essentially walking through fire here at some stages.
