Rico Dredd

History
Edit
Rico was the brother of Judge Joe Dredd, and like Joe was actually a clone of Chief Judge Eustace Fargo. The brothers graduated from the Academy of Law at the same time, with Rico actually achieving higher grades than Joe. Within a year of graduation though, Rico had become disillusioned with the justice system and entered an illicit relationship with a citizen (something totally forbidden) who subsequently had a daughter, Vienna, by him. He also began accepting bribes and demanding protection money, and eventually murdered a citizen. Joe Dredd arrested his brother for murder and corruption, and Rico was sentenced to twenty years on the Judges penal colony on Titan; as part of his sentence, he was surgically altered to be able to work in a vacuum, and his nose and mouth permanently sealed up, leaving him speaking through an artificial voice box and taking nourishment intravenously. These modifications were apparently not reversible.
Twenty years later, Rico returned to Mega City One to get revenge on his bother, challenging him to a gunfight, but twenty years accustomed to the weaker gravity on Titan had slowed his reflexes down and Joe Dredd shot him dead.
NotesEdit
Though Rico first appeared in 2000AD #30 in 1977, the story was retold in 1995 to tie-in with Rico's appearance in the Judge Dredd movie.
