However, the fashion designer who created the uniform gave it a personality similar to his own and [[AIIsACrapshoot began executing perps for "crimes against fashion."]] When Dredd disagreed with this, the uniform removed itself from Dredd's body and went on a rampage until Dredd was able to bring it down.
