First Appearance
 Status

Galen DeMarco is a private investigator who used to be one of the Judges of Mega-City One until she had to leave the force because she fell in love with Judge Dredd.

## Personality

Galen is hardbitten and cynical, but not quite as hardbitten and cynical as Dredd. Barbara Hershey thinks of her as a "quitter" because she left the Judges, but in fact she has a strong work ethic and will do whatever it takes to get a job done. She is currently in a relationship with Jack Point.

## History

Galen DeMarco came from a very rich family, but chose to join the Judges instead of living a life of luxury. She was a highly competent Judge, but couldn't help falling in love with Dredd, despite the fact that he has all the warm lovability of a plascrete wall. She even kissed him.

After resigning from the Justice Department, Galen became a private investigator. She used to be assisted by a talking gorilla called Travis Perkins until he was killed, possibly because the writers realised that as a character he was extremely lame. Dredd trusts Galen and occasionally enlists her help when he needs the assistance of someone who has law-enforcement skills but isn't part of Justice Department.

## Trivia

'Galen' is the name of a famous ancient Greek physician. This would have been kinda cool if Galen DeMarco had been training to be a Med-Judge, but she wasn't.

## History

Before her transformation, Sister Despair was a Judge with a twisted personality who had caught the attention of the then Judge Fuego. After Fuego is turned into Judge Fire, he petitioned for Sister Despair to also become a Dark Judge. After her transformation she assists in the extermination of the living, wiping them out by the masses. Atone stage however, she decided to betray her cause and fled with Judge Reaper (who, like Fire, had fallen in love with her) to a base at the bottom of the ocean, allowing her to operate on her genetic experiments.

Having been responsible for putting her forward, as well as feeling a deep sense of betrayal, Judge Fire plunged into the ocean depths to find her, eventually coming to her base. He broke inside only to come into confrontation with Despair's genetic experiments. After fighting off the experiments and executing Judge Reaper, Fire confronts Despair, only to have her mock him and as a final way to mess with him, she blows herself to pieces before he had a chance to slay her. Afterwards, Fire retains a deep mournful passion for her, burning deep within his heart.

## Trivia

* While Judge Reaper was the first Dark Judge to be completely killed, Sister Despair shows that the Dark Judges can also be killed if they choose to self destruct.
* Despair's attire and genetic experimentation suggest she may have been a Med-Judge before her transformation.

War Games

**War Games**were a future replacement for real wars, involving less mass casualties and broadcast on television as bloodsports.

Presumeably after the Atomic Wars, the  idea of war was abolished and instead War Games were put in its place, at least was the case on the multi-national owned Luna-1. One known War Game was in 2099 after the accidental killing of Sov-Judge Kolb at the hands of Judge Dredd. The Sov's were better equipped the the MC-1 forces and cut down most of the team until Judge Dredd himself stood in and used their own weapons against them, forcing the Sov's to surrender.

Whilst a much less catastrophic alternative, it seems the War Game solution was only temporary with the Apocalypse War occurring just a few years after 2099.

Years after the Power Tower had been rebuilt, and remained the main source of Mega-City One's power. It had also come under attack several more times, however many of these were just by environmental groups.
