  • Judge Death, born Sidney De'ath, is an undead supervillain from the 2000 AD comic strip Judge Dredd and is the leader of the Dark Judges - he is also in many ways what Dredd could of become if taken to the most extreme as he too is a merciless enforcer of law, however his version of the law is at odds with that of Dredd's world and thus makes him one of Dredd's many enemies - due to his popularity however Judge Death has taken on more than just Judge Dredd and was the antagonist of a Judge Dredd / Batman crossover as well as other tales that range from dark and sinister to downright comedic.
  • Judge Death is a fictional character of the Judge Dredd universe recounted in the UK comic 2000 AD. He is the leader of the Dark Judges, a sinister group of undead law enforcers from the alternate dimension of Deadworld, where all life has been declared a crime since only the living commit crimes. After years of appearing in Judge Dredd stories, he later got his own series in the Judge Dredd Megazine and in 2000 AD.
  • Judge Death's main means of attack is his "death touch", an ability inherent to his corporeal form that allows him to cut through human flesh with ease to deliver fatal injuries. His proper bodies are always made from fresh corpses, with their rate of decay accelerated by mysterious chemicals called only "dead fluids". In the past he has often employed the use of a dimension jumper and personal teleporter, stolen and reverse engineered from travelling aliens and Mega City One's Tek Division respectively.
  • Originally from a parallel earth, he joined the judges of his world so that he could kill people legally. His extreme measures in dealing justice earned him the nickname "Judge Death". After meeting the Sisters of Death, Phobia and Nausia, he and three other judges were transformed into the Dark Judges with uniforms that reflect their personalities. This is to carry out his vision for his world - the destruction of all life. He reasoned that since crime was committed only by the living, all life is a crime. They destroyed all life on their world with the help of the still living judges before they themselves were killed by the Dark Judges.
  • Judge Death was a Judge from an alternate dimension where all life was a crime. He first appeared in Mega-City One when he killed Tiny the Tap and was sighted by the judges when he began massacring clubgoers at The Rabbit Hutch. After Dredd burnt his body with incendiary, his spirit escaped, only to be reached by Judge Anderson so that Dredd could interrogate him. He later visited Anderson to possess her body in order to restore his skeletal remains. Anderson managed to send a message to Dredd to trap Death in her body, encased in a cocoon of [[Boing]].

HistoryText
  • Judge Death is a character from the 2000 AD strip Judge Dredd who occasionally has his own strip, Judge Death, in 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine. Born on a parallel Earth, Sidney was a sadist who joined the Judges purely to indulge his obsession with killing. His father was a dentist who used to torture his patients and then started murdering them, explaining to his son that "their brains are full of worms." Sidney ratted him out to the Judges and was allowed to execute him as a special treat. The dentist's last words were, "Good boy." Sidney's hard-line stance against lawbreakers earned him the nickname 'Judge Death', which he adopted as his own. After graduating from Law School he hunted down his mother and sister so he could kill them, and then had a happy career executing citizens for crimes such as untied shoelaces. Encountering the witches Phobia and Nausea, the Sisters of Death, he and three of his fellow Judges had themselves transformed by black magic into the four Dark Judges. Death became the leader of Judge Fear, Judge Fire and Judge Mortis. The Dark Judges reasoned that all crime was committed by the living and that therefore, life itself should be a crime; they duly passed sentence on every living thing on their world, which they renamed 'Deadworld'. In 2102, Death managed to cross over into the dimension where Judge Dredd's Mega-City One existed, and massacred the citizenry until he was stopped by the sacrifice of Judge Anderson, a psychic who effectively trapped his spirit form in her own body and was then voluntarily encased in the impenetrable miracle plastic called Boing® in a state of suspended animation. He was eventually released by the Dark Judges, who had followed him. Death and the Dark Judges have since attacked Mega-City One several times both together and separately, on one occasion effectively conquering the city for a time with the aid of the Sisters of Death. He also told his life story to a journalist, Brian Skuter, because he was annoyed that the citizens didn't appreciate the 'gift' he was offering them and he wanted to set the record straight. Judge Death eventually embarked on a trek through the Cursed Earth, and decided during his journey that he needed some weapons of mass destruction in order to carry out his mission properly. He found an old Bush class missile silo and used the nukes in it to destroy Las Vegas. Judge Death was then attacked by the vengeful spirits of all those he had killed, led by the lone ranger Hocus Ritter, and his spirit dragged down to Hell.

abstract
  • Judge Death's main means of attack is his "death touch", an ability inherent to his corporeal form that allows him to cut through human flesh with ease to deliver fatal injuries. His proper bodies are always made from fresh corpses, with their rate of decay accelerated by mysterious chemicals called only "dead fluids". If this corporeal form is destroyed, he can eject his spirit form a powerful spectral and psionic entity that is capable of possession of living and dead bodies. Judge Death's spirit is assumably immortal, and has only ever been contained and never destroyed. As he is deceased, he is incapable of feeling any kind of pain, emotional or physical. In the past he has often employed the use of a dimension jumper and personal teleporter, stolen and reverse engineered from travelling aliens and Mega City One's Tek Division respectively. After receiving a Black Power Ring from Black Hand he gained impressive regenerative abilities, as well as the ability to manifest dark matter constructs and see the emotional spectrum within a person.

They destroyed all life on their world with the help of the still living judges before they themselves were killed by the Dark Judges. When dimensional travellers visited "Deadworld " as it was after the Dark Judges succeeded, Judge Death "judged" them. He then travelled to Mega-City One in order to continue his crusade in that world, only to be contained by Judge Dredd, but not without heavy civilian casulties. Each time he and his fellow Dark Judges escaped, they inflicted a huge death toll on Mega-City One before they are captured again usually involving Judge Dredd.
