Junko Asahara

First Appearance
 Status

A powerful psychic from Hondo City, **Junko Asahara** is Aiko Inaba's cadet.

## Personality

Junko is bubbly, enthusiastic and keen on her job. It is almost impossible to dampen her spirits.

## History

Hondo City has the highest occurrence of children born with psychic powers in the world. One of them, Junko Asahara, entered an institution run by the mysterious Gideon Otomo which was aimed at improving humanity and moulding the movers and shakers of tomorrow. She then entered the Academy of Justice, who were liaising with Otomo in order to create psychic law-enforcement officials who would be as powerful as a whole team of normal Judge Inspectors. (Presumably this would save money on uniforms, hover bikes and other materiel.)

Despite her rigorous training, designed to be akin to that of a samurai, Junko retained her naturally cheerful demeanour. She graduated *summa cum laude* and was thrilled to be assigned as a cadet to her hero Aiko Inaba, Hondo City's first ever female Judge Inspector. Fortunately, Aiko quickly warmed to her new trainee and wasn't bothered by all the media attention she was getting.

Junko and Aiko almost immediately discovered that Otomo was, in fact, a bad guy using alien technology and possibly under the influence of malignant extraterrestrial forces. His pupils were intended to infiltrate important Hondo City institutions and carry out strategic assassinations when so commanded. This meant that Junko was a human bomb who might one day destroy the Justice Department itself. However, her paranormal abilities proved stronger than those of her teacher (which shows that, despite everything, Otomo was an excellent pedagogue). She broke free of his control and killed him.

This contretemps didn't stop Junko from continuing as a cadet (hopefully after she'd had an extensive examination by an expert psychic to check that she was no longer a potential threat). She went on to enjoy a good working relationship with Aiko Inaba, helping her to fight giant mutant lizard-monsters and zombie warriors.

## Trivia

* The character of **Junko Asahara** was created by Robbie Morrison, Neil Googe and Gary Caldwell.
* Like Aiko, Junko carries a gun, but she doesn't really need it because she use her psionic abilities to cause explosions or turn criminals' weapons on themselves.

Nosferatu

First Appearance

**Nosferatu**are a species of insect-like aliens from the planet Garlock. They sustained themselves on blood and worshipped the warped deity Ragnok, they were also capable of changing their appearance to match that of their prey and could cast hypnotic illusions. Because of their deadly tendencies they had been hunted down to near extinction and spread across the galaxy. Male and female Nosferatu differ greatly with the male looking like a large tick and the female looking more arachnid. They also may be the source of vampire myths.

## History

At least two Nosferatu have been recorded to have been seen in Mega-City One. The first arrived in 2109, disguising itself as a young man it made refuge in the city before going out and killing various people. It claimed nine lives and made three people irredeemably insane before Dredd finally killed it.

Years later a second Nosferatu was discovered, but only after it had been in the City for several years previous. The creature was dubbed The Black Widow as it preyed primarily on desperate men at singles bars. It was located by the Judges and was badly wounded in a confrontation but managed to escape to Texas City before they could kill it.

The same Nosferatu returned to the City years later shortly after the attacks by Total War. It began to prey on civilians at a refugee camp, however it was sloppy in its work and the victims were quickly discovered. A mass panic spread, but Dredd managed to track down the creature and kill it, kicking it in a fire were it burnt alive.

Giant Jr

First Appearance
 Status

**Judge Giant,** the son of the previous Judge Giant, is one of the best Judges in Mega-City One.

## Personality

Giant combines a humane and cheerful disposition with first-class combat skills and a keen intellect. He can take down the city's hardest criminals, but he's also the sort of Judge you wouldn't be afraid to approach on the street to ask for directions.

## History

Judge Giant's father was a respected Judge who nevertheless had a relationship with a female citizen, Adele Dormer, even though Judges are supposed to be celibate (except in the Wally Squad). Giant Jnr was the couple's only child, born shortly before his father was shot in the back by Orlok the assassin. It is doubtful whether he has any memories of his father, but there is probably quite a bit of Justice Department footage of him.

Giant witnessed his mother being shot in front of him when he was still a child. Afterwards he became a cadet Judge at the Academy of Law, performing very well in all areas of the curriculum. He understandably had anger issues, but he managed to move on from them after Judge Dredd took him under his wing. Dredd was disappointed when he discovered that Giant Snr had had an extra-judicial liaison, but he has never held Giant Jnr's parentage against him.

After graduating at the age of fifteen, Giant went on to solve or help solve a number of cases and become one of Dredd's most trusted lieutenants. His reliability and expertise are needed by the city more than ever as it struggles to survive in an increasingly hostile world with a population hugely diminished by the Chaos Bug.

## Trivia

* The younger Judge Giant was created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra.
* Giant was born in 2101 AD, two years before the Apocalypse War.

First Appearance

**Judge Fire**is one of the four original  Dark Judges. The flame engulfed skeleton origonally hailed from Deadworld and cast down death and destruction upon the citizens of Mega-City One several times.

Even amongst his brothers, Fire has been said to be the cruelest and humorless, and even before becoming a Dark Judge he sealed off an entire school full of children and burnt it to the ground for breaking noise regulations. Like the other Dark Judges, he believes that life was a crime and the only acceptable punishment was death.

## Trivia

* Greg Staples has stated Fire to be the most difficult Dark Judge to paint during Dark Justice, "I hope to never have to draw Judge Fire again in my life. Having to paint fire. Moving Fire. Constantly. And setting things on fire? It'll be like my Speilberg "Jaws" moment. I'll just wake in the middle of the night in stone cold sweat.
* Ironically Judge Fire was designed as a burning skeleton to make at least one of the Dark Judges easy to draw.
* Fire is one of two of the original Dark Judges to have been named before their transformation, the only other being Death.

Amongst the escapes were the Tentatee's.

When the Judges came to try and resolve the matter, one of the first species they came across was the Tentatee's dancing very awkwardly.

Judge Dredd resolves the problem by lightly punching himself in the face, which the Tentatee's copy, and end up knocking them selves out in doing so.

Alpha suggests to pretend that Dredd had been captured by him, in order to learn who had placed the bounty. Taking Dredd with them to the future, they rendezvous with two Stixes who quickly betray the group and take Dredd as their own quarry. Dredd is taken to Calcorp HQ and, much to his surprise, is taken to trial before a large number of clones based of the insane Chief Judge Cal.

As the Cal clones come to the unanimous decision to execute Dredd, the Judge knocks down one of the Stix brothers before snatching his weapon and ducking out of the way as a hail of bullets kills both brothers.

Dredd, refusing to accept his intended fate, looks to clear his name. His informant Max Normal informs him of Parker's illegal endeavours and Dredd investigates only to find his body and the robot duplicate waiting for him. The two fight, but Dredd tricks his double to walk under a magnet before duping its body into a smelter, destroying the robot.
