Judda

The Judda were clones created by Morton Judd, a genetic scientist. Judd first appeared in progs 559-563 of the British comic 2000 AD, in the story "Oz".

Judd was originally a Judge, Head of Genetics at the Justice Department, and a prominent member of the Council of Five. He had been the one to propose the idea of cloning Judges and began this program under Chief Judge Goodman - the most notable success had been Judge Joe Dredd, who had been cloned from the DNA of Chief Judge Fargo. He was heavily disliked by Judge Solomon for his amorality.

After the Atomic Wars of 2070, Mega-City One was left in turmoil. As a result, Judd proposed a radical solution to the problem of policing an overcrowded city, packed with 400 million potential criminals. The solution was to clone the citizens, as well as the Judges, to create a docile and obedient population. Although he had some support amongst many of his colleagues, Chief Judge Fargo rejected the idea, pointing out that the Judges' first duty was to serve the citizens, not to control them.

The Judda lair

The Judda and their master

After a failed attempt to assassinate Fargo, Judd and a number of his followers were scheduled for execution. However, they were rescued at the last moment and fled Mega-City One with a batch of genetic material.

Judd could not be found and was presumed dead until he reappeared almost forty years later. Judd and his followers had built a secret base inside the caves of Ayers Rock in the Radback (radioactive outback) of Australia, breeding their own army of 'Judges' called the Judda from the DNA stock he had stolen from the Justice Department. His plan was to despatch a group of them via sophisticated teleportation devices to Mega-City One in order to kill several key Judges, preliminary to his conquest of the city he regarded as rightfully his. This failed when Judge Dredd captured one of the group and used his teleportation device to return to Judd's base. Judd panicked and tried to accelerate his mass assault on the Grand Hall of Justice, but Dredd used Judd's device to get back there first. Forewarned, the Judges were ready for the onslaught and Dredd teleported an armed nuclear warhead back to Ayers Rock, destroying Judd and the remainder of his followers.[1]

One of the Fargo Judda would be captured alive by Justice Department - Kraken - and a deprogramming was attempted, in the hope of making him a replacement for Dredd.

Another Fargo Judda, Jonah, would survive but this would be kept secret by the Oz Judges. They tracked him for years but failed to stop him reaching Mega-City One where he would start the Judgementarian cult. In 2126, he would declare a jihad against the city and poison the Global Justice Summit in an attempt to force Hershey to hand control to him - leading to Dredd killing him.[2]
