He forced his "father" into the drivers seat as he began tearing up the highway's, killing as many people as he could. After tiring of hearing his "father" protesting, Elvis ejected him from the drivers seat and caught him with his bonnet, snapping his  neck. He then continued his happy massacre until he noticed the approaching Judges, thinking quickly he drove into a garage and began rewiring other cars so they would be like him.

Elvis made his escape as the Judges fought the other cars and made his way to a shopping mall, quickly heading over to the toy store and looted the place. After the other rouge cars were dealt with, Elvis became a fugitive and decided to hide up in a couples apartment where he stayed for several days until he saw a news report of Judge Dredd calling Elvis a coward, spurring the killer car into action.

A chase began for Elvis, however the car managed to sneakily get the upper hand on Dredd and captured him in his apartment. Holding Dredd ransom in his cockpit, Elvis went to the Hall of Justice and demanded his requests be made, this included songs about him, a parade and a marching band. Begrudgingly the Judges comply and an hour later the celebrations go underway. Dredd stirs awake and quickly lights a fire, causing him to eject Dredd accidentally. As soon as he was clear, a nearby  Riot Squad. doused Elvis in dissolveant, melting the killer car into nothing more then sludge.

Gideon Otomo

First Appearance
 Status

Gideon Otomo was the professor who taught Junko Asahara how to perfect her psychic powers.

## Personality

Outwardly charming and helpful, Otomo skilfully concealed his ruthless nature and lack of humanity.

## History

In 2109 AD, Hondo City academic Gideon Otomo was teaching marine biology when he was caught up in a tsunami that left him and three of his students marooned on an uninhabited island for three months. It later emerged that when they were there they encountered a crashed alien spaceship which contaminated them with extraterrestrial DNA and gave them paranormal abilities. Otomo gained psychic powers, but kept them hidden from the rest of the world.

After being rescued from the island, Otomo returned to Hondo City and founded the Otomo Institute for Human Advancement. The Institute was ostensibly meant to shape the city's bright young things into the leaders of tomorrow, but Otomo was actually looking for congenital psychics whom he could form into living weapons. His graduates would enter the highest ranking organisations in Hondo City, thanks to the Institute's stellar reputation, and remain under Otomo's psychic control, ready to wreak all sorts of havoc whenever he gave the command.

Otomo overreached himself when he collaborated with the Academy of Justice to train a new type of Judge Inspector: one with awesome psychic and telekinetic powers. The first graduate of the 'Otomo programme', Junko Asahara, helped her mentor Aiko Inaba to discover what Otomo was really up to. When forced to choose between her teacher Otomo and her idol Inaba, the city's first female Judge Inspector, she broke free of Otomo's control and made his head explode. This marked the end of what may actually have been an inconspicuous alien infiltration/invasion: it is unclear to what extent Otomo's actions were determined by the extraterrestrial DNA in his body. He could have been like one of those ants that gets a fungus in their brain that makes them climb up a tall stalk so that the fungus can spread its spores more widely. Perhaps the ant thinks that it's *choosing* to climb up the stalk.

## Trivia

* The character of Gideon Otomo was created by Robbie Morrison, Neil Googe and Gary Caldwell.
* 'Gideon' is a Hebrew name from the Book of Judges.

As the two stood over Dredd's body however, Corden worriedly informed Mayhew that Dredd had already regained consciousness. As if on cue, Dredd grabbed Corden by the throat and knocked her out. After doing the same to Mayhew, Dredd used his bed-sheet to detain them, tearing off a rag and stuffing it in Corden's mouth before keeping it in with a longer layer, effectively gagging her and then tightly tying the rest of her body in long strips, leaving her for the authorities.

Players would be split into three categories; the Cavemen, who acted as goalkeeper and would use a large club to deflect the ball, Flyers acted as strikers and used jet-packs to fly around, Bikers acted as defenders and used projectile grappling hooks to hold down the opposing teams Flyers.

Later on after Joyce had filled in Detective-Judge Armitage about McKlusky, Armitage responded saying that McKlusky was likely working for Judge Mayhew, a high ranking Brit-Cit Judge that would benefit from political downfall of both Mega-City One and Murphyville. Armitage's hunch proved right when the two arrived at Mayhew's camp at the same time as McKlusky who immediately outed him as a spy.

Hilda Margaret McGruder

First Appearance
 Status

**Hilda Margaret McGruder** was one of Mega-City One's most famous Chief Judges, having held the position twice and guided the city through some of its greatest trials.

## Personality

McGruder had a tough, uncompromising personality, and was prepared to sacrifice the individual lives of citizens to serve the greater good. She was a hardbitten, no-nonsense person who got her hands dirty when necessary and had little time for manners or protocol when they got in the way of getting things done.

## History

Hilda Margaret McGruder used to be the head of the Special Judicial Service or SJS, "the Judges who judge the Judges." She helped to defend the city during the Apocalypse War, rallying the troops with a memorable battle cry: "Give 'em JUSTICE! GIVE 'EM HELL!" After the war she was chosen to be the new Chief Judge, Chief Judge Griffin having been killed by Dredd after being brainwashed by the invaders. In her new role she wore earrings bearing the skull symbol of the SJS to remind her of where she had come from.

Durign this term as Chief-Judge, McGruder oversaw several damning situations includeing the second retrun of the Dark Judges and the spread of the fungal Grubb's Disease. She also helped to stop the return of Owen Krysler a.k.a The Judge Child. Sadly however, an oversight on her part saw the city attacked by the Seven Samurai, a group of towering stone golems all specialised in killing. The threat was stopped, but it cost the life of Psi-Div head Judge Omar. Despite years of honourable service, McGruder felt she had failed in her actions and chose to take the Long Walk into the Cursed Earth to bring law to the lawless, unto death.

The death that ended McGruder's Long Walk was not hers but that of millions of Mega-City people during the disaster known as Necropolis. Judge Dredd, who had taken the Long Walk himself owing to doubts about the Judicial system, had premonitions that something awful was about to happen and returned to the city, picking up McGruder on the way. Years of living in an irradiated waste land had caused her to grow a beard and to apparently develop a split personality — she now referred to herself as "we." Despite these oddities, McGruder was still a force to be reckoned with, and she helped Dredd and his other allies to rid the city of the Dark Judges who had been terrorising it.

Since Chief Judge Silver had been turned into a zombie during Necropolis, McGruder became Chief Judge again. (When zombie Silver returned to the city and tried to reclaim his position, Dredd executed him for having helped to cause Necropolis.) McGruder served the city for several more years until she developed symptoms of senile dementia and had to step down. Hearing that she was to be euthanised, Dredd abducted her and left her in the Cursed Earth. That way she would die kicking ass and righting wrongs, rather than at the end of a needle.

## Trivia

* McGruder was named after British prime minister Margaret Hilda Thatcher.
