Realising The Mutant was too powerful to destroy, Anderson and Dredd then used Proteus to return to 2107 and destroy Krysler before his powers could manifest. Further investigations by Dredd and Anderson revealed The Mutant to be a failed clone of Owen Krysler, the so-called ‘Judge Child’ who had previously been identified by Fey as the only being powerful enough to save MC-1 from The Mutant. Arriving in 2120, the pair discovered MC-1 has been destroyed by a creature known only as The Mutant, and all the city’s Judges had been turned into wanton vampires. With the invention of the time-machine Proteus, however, Chief Judge McGruder was able to order Anderson and Dredd to travel into the future and see if the destruction of the city could be averted. In the year 2107, Psi-Judge Fey predicted that Mega-City One would be destroyed in the year 2120 by an unknown creature of immense power. 60 million citizens, however, died before they were vanquished. Only a further intervention by Dredd and former Chief Judge McGruder-both returning from the Cursed Earth together with the wounded Anderson-saw the Sisters banished back to Dead world and the Dark Judges defeated once again. Once again unleashed on the city, they turned it into a necropolis and took control of the Justice Department, bending its Judges to their will. Then the Dark Judges’ acolytes, the Sisters of Death, manipulated both Judge Kraken (a clone of Judge Dredd) and Psi-Judge Agee (Anderson’s colleague), using them to locate the lost Dark Judges and return them to MC-1. First, they tricked her into providing a means for them to return to Mega-City One, only to be outwitted and trapped in limbo by Anderson and her fellow Judges.


NecropolisĪnderson’s incursion into Dead World was not the last time Anderson would face Death and his cohorts, however. There Anderson channelled the vengeful spirits of the Dark Judges’ victims, giving her the power to destroy them, at least temporarily. Together with Dredd, she forced the creatures back to their benighted home planet of Dead World, itself purged of all life by the Dark Judges. Anderson once more proved instrumental in the defeat of Death and the Dark Judges. Rescued from his imprisonment by his fellow Dark Judges Fear, Fire and Mortis, Death unleashed a fresh wave of terror on MC-1, this time accompanied by his undead brethren. Together they thwarted the Dark Judge by destroying his corporeal form and trapping his fleeing spirit inside Anderson’s body, itself sealed in the ‘miracle plastic’, Boing.ĭeath would, however, return once again.

With the Justice Department’s initial attempts to stop the Death failing, Psi-Division assigned Anderson to team up with Dredd. Anderson rose to prominence during Judge Death’s first incursion into Mega-City One.
