"The city formed out of a growing urban sprawl and became partially self-governing under the Autonomy Act of 2052, with its own Chief Judge. It later became America's second city (nicknamed \"the Second Meg\") after the Atomic Wars of 2070, which killed Chief Judge Gabe Suarez, and closely allied itself with Mega-City One and Texas City. Although Mega-City Two owed its very survival to a mission of mercy carried out by the Judges of Mega-City One when it was afflicted with the deadly Virus Strain 2T(FRU)T in 2100, Mega-City Two refused to intervene in the Apocalypse War between its sister city and East-Meg One. This was because they could not attack East Meg One when it was protected by its force field, and they would be destroyed by a counter strike. The late 80s and early 90s used Mega-City Two in two stories, Chopper: Song of the Surfer (progs 654-665) and Judge Dredd: Babes in Arms (progs 776-9). The city was shown to be a brighter, more colourful place than Mega-City One, with an unpolluted ocean along its coastline and a less oppressive atmosphere. Under the Death Game Amendment of 2104, violent televised \"death games\" were legal and hugely popular; Supersurf 11 was brought to the city and deliberately made so violent by the organiser that most of the contestants were slaughtered. (The organisers StigCo had been bribing the Judges, as their plans hadn't quite matched the law; heads rolled in Justice Department when the news broke). The citizens resembled contemporary parodies of California. In 2114 Mega-City Two was completely overrun by zombies unleashed by the evil Necromagus Sabbat. With the city beyond hope of rescue, the place was nuked out of existence on the orders of a council of Judges from all over the world at the suggestion of Judge Dredd. A second incarnation of Mega City Two was later built by the Hondo City Judges and run by acting-Chief Judge Tokugawa, and held the Supersurf 13 contest in 2117 to draw attention to the new city. The Hondo Cluster was soon abandoned due to the cost, a series of strange murders and disappearances, and the sheer difficulty of getting people to move thousands of miles from friends and family. The story \"California Babylon\" in progs 1731-4 showed that the city remained in ruins in 2133, dominated by mutant gangs that had moved in. A few remaining Judges were trapped in a Tek bunker but were swiftly slaughtered when the gangs found them, with only Judge Siobhan Garrison surviving to seek aid from Mega-City One. Outside of the comic, the editors later explained that the Hondo MC-2 related to a planned storyline which was then discontinued, and the next mention of the city was as ruins in \"California Babylon\". When a reader question the continuity clash in 1738, the editor (as Tharg the Mighty) said he would made \"an emerald executive decision\" that the Hondo story did not count, because nobody had paid any attention to it since; in 1741 he had say he would \"rather forget the idea was ever mooted\", viewing it a mistake. \"Babylon\" Michael Carroll would later write into a story that revealed that the Hondos did rebuild part of the city calling it the Hondo Cluster but had abandoned their attempt after a series of strange murders and the population being upset at being moved hundreds of miles from friends and family, bringing the reconstructed city back into the canon. In 2135, Mega-City One deported its Sov-immigrant citizens to the Mega-City Two ruins, as an alternative to sending them to East-Meg Two or keeping them in internment camps. An area was reclaimed and named \"Sovsec\", policed by an understaffed Judge force run by Judge Garrison. (In the former story, artist Andrew Currie mistakenly drew it as East-Meg Two with Sov-controlled city; this was explained away later as the Sov Judges being there to help transfer the citizens.) The reclaimed area was under constant mutant attack, supplies were rationed, and construction of housing was slow (homes were given by lottery), with the Judges undermanned; a visiting Galen DeMarco viewed it as \"a stop-gap solution that's only going to blow up in everyone's faces\"."@en . . .
