-->--'''Sabbat the Necromagus''', ''Judgment Day'' part 5 (''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' prog 789)

* ''The Apocalypse War'' (includes ''Block Mania''):
** [[DiscOneFinalBoss East-Meg One Supreme Judge Josef Bulgarin]] first appears in ''Pirates of the Black Atlantic''; when a Sov-Blok plot to [[NukeEm nuke]] Mega-City One is found out--after several million deaths--Bulgarin, to avoid a war they would lose, has a Sov sektor destroyed with a nuke. Next, before the Apocalypse War itself, Bulgarin, who with his fellow Judges Vlad and Snekov form the ruling Diktatorat, has agent Orlok the Assassin [[WaterSourceTampering contaminate Mega-City One's water]] with a HatePlague, resulting in chaos and softening up Mega-City One; at this point, Bulgarin implements the next steps, which include a nuclear strike and space, air, and land invasion. This kicks off the Apocalypse War, which eventually results in hundreds of millions of deaths on both sides. Bulgarin is [[LackOfEmpathy apathetic]] about the massive number of potential East-Meg One casualties, and later plans to invade other cities despite promising otherwise.

* ''Judgment Day'' ({{Crossover}} with ''ComicBook/StrontiumDog''): [[{{Necromancer}} Sabbat the Necromagus]] is a [[OurLichesAreDifferent lich]] who seeks to conquer the universe with [[NightOfTheLivingMooks an army of zombies]]. Born Soppi Walters, Sabbat murdered a friendly witch to learn her magic, then killed and resurrected his schoolyard bully to torment him for eternity. Sabbat killed all 2 billion settlers on the planet Bethsheba, but managed to escape into the past when [[BountyHunter Johnny Alpha]] tracked him down. Sabbat unleashes a ZombieApocalypse in Judge Dredd's world, which would also erase Alpha's timeline, while having all planes in the world instantly crash to quarantine the cities from each other. Sabbat manages to wipe out five mega-cities with three billion people inside them, and when he captures Judge Dredd and Johnny Alpha he proceeds to torture them to death, assuring them that they'll be the last living humans when he ends their lives.
* ''Helter Skelter'': [[TheCaligula Chief Judge Cal]] differs from his mainstream counterpart from ''The Day the Law Died'' in that he's not insane, [[AdaptationalVillainy just evil]]. Originating from a VillainWorld where he murdered Judge Dredd and has ruled Mega-City One as a despot ever since, he invades the Prime Universe with an alliance of other supervillains whom he all intends to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness dispose of when opportunity permits]]. While taking over the Justice Department, he has any Judge who is immune to his brainwashing either immediately executed or crucified. However, Cal's worst crime is knowingly escalating the Helter Skelter effect, tearing apart entire universes to enable multidimensional travel and thereby recklessly condemning billions of people to a FateWorseThanDeath just so he can kill a version of Judge Dredd whom he's never even met.
* ''Origins'': [[PresidentEvil U.S. President Robert Linus Booth]] is a hardline imperialist who starts bloody wars of conquest and unleashes a global nuclear war that claims the lives of billions after murdering a potential whistleblower, deluding himself that America's missile shields would protect it. Booth orders the massacre of hundreds of protestors and provokes a CivilWar when the Justice Department moves to depose him on tyranny charges. Resurfacing in the Cursed Earth after spending years in hibernation, Booth spits on the mercy Judge Dredd shows him and instead forms an army to retake America, sating himself with trying to have Dredd executed after a [[KangarooCourt show trial]]. As the man who is most responsible for creating the DeathWorld of the comic, "Bad Bob" Booth shows absolutely no regret for his actions and [[ItsAllAboutMe is only concerned with his own power]].
* ''ComicBook/AndersonPsiDivision'' {{spinoff}}: [[ImmortalitySeeker Judge Elan Fauster]] is the head of the occultist department within Psi-Ops. When Judge Anderson is infected with Half-Life, a [[MindVirus psychic virus]] from Deadworld, Fauster volunteers one of his men to act as his mole during the rescue mission inside Anderson's mind. The mission succeeds with high casualties, with Fauster ensuring that another Judge will be killed after being falsely identified as a carrier for the virus. He links the virus to his own nanomachines so they can repair his body and grant him immortality, causing the virus to spread out to the Psi-Judges before an outbreak in the general population occurs. The victims of Half Life become both homicidal and suicidal, slaughtering themselves and other people en masse through immensely brutal ways. Almost all of Mega-City One is affected before the Judges can deactivate the bots, ultimately causing at least a million deaths citywide. Fauster merely considers all the carnage he caused an acceptable sacrifice for his own {{immortality|Immorality}}, boasting that he can afford to outlast any punishment that's in store for him.

* 1994-1996 run:
** Issues #6-7--"Malice in Wonderland" & "Heaven is Hell": [[WardensAreEvil Warden Clarence Suskind]] is the revolting head of Mega-City One's Department of Incrceration, who always looks for a way to [[{{Greed}} get himself more money]]. Having his former prisoner develop a VR machine that created a virtual world with people feeling like all the things in it were real, Suskind first sold it to a gang, which used it to plug innocent people into the virtual world, causing them to be reduced to barely-sapient madmen, if they ever were removed from the machine. After Judge Dredd busted this operation, Suskind found another use for VR machine, making the virtual world a living hell and plugging all the prisoners in it, so all of the them would be [[AndIMustScream tortured for eternity]] to the point of [[DrivenToMadness insanity]].
** Issues #9-11[[note]]"By Dawn's Early Blight", "Dredd End", "Dredd Again"[[/note]]: [[CorruptPolitician Vice President Robert Booth]] is a power-hungry madman who desires to be {{president|Evil}}. Joining in on [[WellIntentionedExtremist Chief Judge Fargo]]'s scheme of manipulating the population in giving Judges all the power, Booth, after learning that Ministry of Sin failed to kill President Frankowski, simply walked into the White House and [[TheStarscream murdered him personally]], convincing Frankowski's butler to work for him and give him the code to the safe containing the control system to all the country's nuclear warheads. Later growing paranoid and mad with power, Booth [[NukeEm unleashed all the nuclear warheads]] upon the world, reducing everything to a wasteland, aside from a few Mega Cities, with hundreds of millions of people either dying or getting horribly mutated. After people demanded his resignation for this, Booth ordered his troops to massacre them, killing thousands, leading to a war with Chief Judge Fargo, in which he has his troops kill thousands more.

Keeping all his captured victims [[AndIMustScream alive]] until there is nothing left of them, Bliss disposes of the people who died from his operations by dumping them into a hole, which causes them to merge into a mutated blob. Rigging all his henchmen to [[ExplosiveLeash explode]] if they ever talk, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Bliss]], while talking about his supposed good intentions, showcased nothing but sadistic glee and greed during his atrocities, revealing himself to be nothing but a vile criminal out for himself.
** Issues #11-13--"Dredd of Knight": [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Victor Van Petten]] is an ancient vampire who [[TranshumanTreachery relished in the carnage he caused]], brutally slaughtering many people, causing his vampire mentor Giorgio to leave him in disgust. Many years after the Nuclear War, in which he was seemingly killed, Victor was able to resurrect himself, setting his way to Mega-City One and massacring the mutant village along the way. Starting off his killing spree in Mega-City One, Victor sadistically murders countless people, before transforming them into his loyal ghouls and using their energy to block out the sun. Bringing on the [[TheNightThatNeverEnds eternal night]], Victor transforms thousands more into his undead slaves, planning on feasting on the entire population of Mega-City One.

At one point setting up the "Four Mothers" scam, he brainwashes Psi kids into attacking Mega-City One in the other dimension and reducing it to ruins, while also trying to do the same in his own world.

After being driven off Mega-City One for [[WouldHurtAChild experimenting on orphans]], Niels set up a laboratory in Wildlands, where he grew an army of [[HalfHumanHybrids animal-human hybrids]]. Discovering the Xenomorphs and capturing a Yautja warrior and the Judges, Niels immediately experimented on them, implanting a FaceHugger on the Yautja and one of the Judges, while transforming another Judge into a mindless abomination. Later on taking control over the Yautja ship and using his remaining hybrids as hosts for Xenomorphs, Niels unleashes them in Mega-City One, leading to a slaughter, while he transforms himself into a Xenomorph Queen and plans to [[OmnicidalManiac kill off the entire population of Mega-City One]].

* ''Judgement on Gotham'': ComicBook/TheScarecrow is a sadistic criminal obsessed with [[MindRape terrifying others]] and spreading widespread fear, and is thus ecstatic when meeting Judge Death.

* ''Die Laughing'': ComicBook/TheJoker is as usual portrayed as a lunatic who wants nothing more than to torment and kill everything he can as a form of entertainment and "humor". Infiltrating Mega-City One, Joker kills numerous people to enable the release of Judge Death and his Dark Judges, and, requesting to be made a Dark Judge himself, Joker uses his new abilities to go on a slaughter spree with Death. Personally using his new power of screeching laughter, Joker kills dozens of people at a time by making their [[YourHeadAsplode heads explode]], and, after wiping out every man, woman, and child at an amusement park, proclaims his intentions to head back to Gotham and showcase his new powers to its millions of inhabitants.

-->--'''Sabbat the Necromagus''', ''Judgment Day'' part 5 (''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' prog 789)

''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' takes place AfterTheEnd, but in a {{dystopia}} such as [[{{MegaCity}} Mega-City One]], which is a ViceCity, PoliceState, and CrapsackWorld, [[AntiHero Joseph "Joe" Dredd himself]] is [[BlackAndGrayMorality an angel]] compared to [[CompleteMonster several of his adversaries]].

Groups, and works within groups, are roughly arranged by publication date.

[[AC:''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' continuity]]
[[folder:Examples]]
* [[HangingJudge Judge Death]], born Sidney De'ath, is the leader of the [[EvilCounterpart Dark Judges]] and the ArchEnemy of Judge Dredd and Judge Anderson. Originating from a MirrorUniverse known as Deadworld, he [[SelfMadeOrphan murdered his entire family]] and became a Judge simply to be able to legally kill people for the flimsiest of reasons. Regarding life itself to be the source of all crime and gathering several like-minded followers, he allowed himself and his "brothers" to be transformed into undead monstrosities by his allies the Sisters of Death before murdering the Chief Judge and slowly killing off their homeworld through weapons of mass destruction, plagues, and death camps. Death then purged his fellow Dark Judges except Fire, Fear, and Mortis. Since then, the Dark Judges have invaded other dimensions as well to spread their creed, killing millions more in the process. Judge Death himself has engaged in innumerable crimes, including regular mass murder and torture; the [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashing of others to kill in his name]]; and even the happy slaughter of [[WouldHurtAChild children and babies]] to serve his dark purposes. By zombifying or inhabiting the bodies of those he's killed, Death and company always return to continue this twisted nihilism by sadistically murdering those who cross his path while [[OmnicidalManiac seeking the destruction of all that lives and breathes]].
* ''The Apocalypse War'' (includes ''Block Mania''):
** [[DiscOneFinalBoss East-Meg One Supreme Judge Josef Bulgarin]] first appears in ''Pirates of the Black Atlantic''; when a Sov-Blok plot to [[NukeEm nuke]] Mega-City One is found out--after several million deaths--Bulgarin, to avoid a war they would lose, has a Sov sektor destroyed with a nuke. Next, before the Apocalypse War itself, Bulgarin, who with his fellow Judges Vlad and Snekov form the ruling Diktatorat, has agent Orlok the Assassin [[WaterSourceTampering contaminate Mega-City One's water]] with a HatePlague, resulting in chaos and softening up Mega-City One; at this point, Bulgarin implements the next steps, which include a nuclear strike and space, air, and land invasion. This kicks off the Apocalypse War, which eventually results in hundreds of millions of deaths on both sides. Bulgarin is [[LackOfEmpathy apathetic]] about the massive number of potential East-Meg One casualties, and later plans to invade other cities despite promising otherwise.
** [[InsaneAdmiral War Marshal "Mad Dog" Kazan]] is the barbaric and merciless commander-in-chief of the East-Meg One military who, on Bulgarin's orders, led the ground invasion and captured and brainwashed Mega-City One Chief Judge Griffin. Kazan subsequently [[TheStarscream assassinates the Diktatorat to seize power]]. Kazan also [[BadBoss treats the men under his command horribly]], from exiling them to Siberia without clothing, forcing them to play RussianRoulette, or executing one of his generals for simply suggesting surrender. Kazan, continuing the war beyond any rational point, becomes more determined than ever to continue the war after East-Meg One is devastated in a nuclear counterattack, until even his own soldiers mutiny and permit Judge Dredd to execute him, with Kazan dying while [[IRegretNothing regretting and apologizing for nothing]].
* ''Judgment Day'' ({{Crossover}} with ''ComicBook/StrontiumDog''): [[{{Necromancer}} Sabbat the Necromagus]] is a [[OurLichesAreDifferent lich]] who seeks to conquer the universe with [[NightOfTheLivingMooks an army of zombies]]. Born Soppi Walters, Sabbat murdered a friendly witch to learn her magic, then killed and resurrected his schoolyard bully to torment him for eternity. Sabbat killed all 2 billion settlers on the planet Bethsheba, but managed to escape into the past when [[BountyHunter Johnny Alpha]] tracked him down. Sabbat unleashes a ZombieApocalypse in Judge Dredd's world, which would also erase Alpha's timeline, while having all planes in the world instantly crash to quarantine the cities from each other. Sabbat manages to wipe out five mega-cities with three billion people inside them, and when he captures Judge Dredd and Johnny Alpha he proceeds to torture them to death, assuring them that they'll be the last living humans when he ends their lives.
* ''Helter Skelter'': [[TheCaligula Chief Judge Cal]] differs from his mainstream counterpart from ''The Day the Law Died'' in that he's not insane, [[AdaptationalVillainy just evil]]. Originating from a VillainWorld where he murdered Judge Dredd and has ruled Mega-City One as a despot ever since, he invades the Prime Universe with an alliance of other supervillains whom he all intends to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness dispose of when opportunity permits]]. While taking over the Justice Department, he has any Judge who is immune to his brainwashing either immediately executed or crucified. However, Cal's worst crime is knowingly escalating the Helter Skelter effect, tearing apart entire universes to enable multidimensional travel and thereby recklessly condemning billions of people to a FateWorseThanDeath just so he can kill a version of Judge Dredd whom he's never even met.
* ''Origins'': [[PresidentEvil U.S. President Robert Linus Booth]] is a hardline imperialist who starts bloody wars of conquest and unleashes a global nuclear war that claims the lives of billions after murdering a potential whistleblower, deluding himself that America's missile shields would protect it. Booth orders the massacre of hundreds of protestors and provokes a CivilWar when the Justice Department moves to depose him on tyranny charges. Resurfacing in the Cursed Earth after spending years in hibernation, Booth spits on the mercy Judge Dredd shows him and instead forms an army to retake America, sating himself with trying to have Dredd executed after a [[KangarooCourt show trial]]. As the man who is most responsible for creating the DeathWorld of the comic, "Bad Bob" Booth shows absolutely no regret for his actions and [[ItsAllAboutMe is only concerned with his own power]].
* ''ComicBook/AndersonPsiDivision'' {{spinoff}}: [[ImmortalitySeeker Judge Elan Fauster]] is the head of the occultist department within Psi-Ops. When Judge Anderson is infected with Half-Life, a [[MindVirus psychic virus]] from Deadworld, Fauster volunteers one of his men to act as his mole during the rescue mission inside Anderson's mind. The mission succeeds with high casualties, with Fauster ensuring that another Judge will be killed after being falsely identified as a carrier for the virus. He links the virus to his own nanomachines so they can repair his body and grant him immortality, causing the virus to spread out to the Psi-Judges before an outbreak in the general population occurs. The victims of Half Life become both homicidal and suicidal, slaughtering themselves and other people en masse through immensely brutal ways. Almost all of Mega-City One is affected before the Judges can deactivate the bots, ultimately causing at least a million deaths citywide. Fauster merely considers all the carnage he caused an acceptable sacrifice for his own {{immortality|Immorality}}, boasting that he can afford to outlast any punishment that's in store for him.

[[AC:''Batman/Judge Dredd'']]
* [[OmnicidalManiac Judge Death]] is the ArchEnemy of Judge Dredd and, much like his original counterpart, presented as a psychopath who believes life itself is a crime deserving of death. Having kicked off his mission to purge the universe of all life by slaughtering his entire home world, Death arrives at [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Gotham City]] in ''Judgement on Gotham'' to continue his bloody rampage, killing numerous people before being stopped by Batman. Escaping in ethereal form, Death allies with the Master of Fear, Scarecrow, and, after failing to betray and murder the man when [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he outlives his usefulness]], teams up with him in massacring a rock concert of dozens of people in grotesque ways, planning to move onto the rest of Gotham afterwards. Later allying with the Joker in ''Die Laughing'', Death turns him into a Dark Judge and proceeds to butcher thousands of people in Mega-City One, and is stopped only after wiping out an entire amusement park of adults and children. With a love of killing and a philosophy to enable it, Judge Death is truly the worst foe in Dredd's [[RoguesGallery enemy line-up]].
* ''Judgement on Gotham'': ComicBook/TheScarecrow is a sadistic criminal obsessed with [[MindRape terrifying others]] and spreading widespread fear, and is thus ecstatic when meeting Judge Death. Watching in fascination as Death kills Scarecrow's own assistant, Scarecrow then cows Death with his patented Fear Gas, forcing the evil Judge to become his partner, and then, wanting Death to show him a "feast of fear", brings him to a highly-populated rock concert and watches in glee as he sics Death on the thousands of concert-goers, even videotaping the whole ordeal in sick amusement.
* ''Die Laughing'': ComicBook/TheJoker is as usual portrayed as a lunatic who wants nothing more than to torment and kill everything he can as a form of entertainment and "humor". Infiltrating Mega-City One, Joker kills numerous people to enable the release of Judge Death and his Dark Judges, and, requesting to be made a Dark Judge himself, Joker uses his new abilities to go on a slaughter spree with Death. Personally using his new power of screeching laughter, Joker kills dozens of people at a time by making their [[YourHeadAsplode heads explode]], and, after wiping out every man, woman, and child at an amusement park, proclaims his intentions to head back to Gotham and showcase his new powers to its millions of inhabitants.

* 1994-1996 run:
** [[WardensAreEvil Warden Clarence Suskind]], from issues 6 and 7, is the revolting head of Mega-City One's Department of Incrceration, who always looks for a way to [[{{Greed}} get himself more money]]. Having his former prisoner develop a VR machine that created a virtual world with people feeling like all the things in it were real, Suskind first sold it to a gang, which used it to plug innocent people into the virtual world, causing them to be reduced to barely-sapient madmen, if they ever were removed from the machine. After Judge Dredd busted this operation, Suskind found another use for VR machine, making the virtual world a living hell and plugging all the prisoners in it, so all of the them would be [[AndIMustScream tortured for eternity]] to the point of [[DrivenToMadness insanity]].
** [[CorruptPolitician Vice President Robert Booth]], from issues 9 to 11, is a power-hungry madman who desires to be {{president|Evil}}. Joining in on [[WellIntentionedExtremist Chief Judge Fargo]]'s scheme of manipulating the population in giving Judges all the power, Booth, after learning that Ministry of Sin failed to kill President Frankowski, simply walked into the White House and [[TheStarscream murdered him personally]], convincing Frankowski's butler to work for him and give him the code to the safe containing the control system to all the country's nuclear warheads. Later growing paranoid and mad with power, Booth [[NukeEm unleashed all the nuclear warheads]] upon the world, reducing everything to a wasteland, aside from a few Mega Cities, with hundreds of millions of people either dying or getting horribly mutated. After people demanded his resignation for this, Booth ordered his troops to massacre them, killing thousands, leading to a war with Chief Judge Fargo, in which he has his troops kill thousands more.
* ''Legends of the Law'':
** "The Organ Donors": [[MadDoctor Doctor Euphorian Bliss]] is a gifted surgeon who specializes in organ transplants. In reality just a remorseless, selfish psychopath, Bliss has his men kidnap countless innocent people, whom he painfully dissects in his secret laboratory for [[OrganTheft organs]]. Keeping all his captured victims [[AndIMustScream alive]] until there is nothing left of them, Bliss disposes of the people who died from his operations by dumping them into a hole, which causes them to merge into a mutated blob. Rigging all his henchmen to [[ExplosiveLeash explode]] if they ever talk, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Bliss]], while talking about his supposed good intentions, showcased nothing but sadistic glee and greed during his atrocities, revealing himself to be nothing but a vile criminal out for himself.
** "Dredd of Knight": [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Victor Van Petten]] is an ancient vampire who [[TranshumanTreachery relished in the carnage he caused]], brutally slaughtering many people, causing his vampire mentor Giorgio to leave him in disgust. Many years after the Nuclear War, in which he was seemingly killed, Victor was able to resurrect himself, setting his way to Mega-City One and massacring the mutant village along the way. Starting off his killing spree in Mega-City One, Victor sadistically murders countless people, before transforming them into his loyal ghouls and using their energy to block out the sun. Bringing on the [[TheNightThatNeverEnds eternal night]], Victor transforms thousands more into his undead slaves, planning on feasting on the entire population of Mega-City One.

[[AC:''Lawman of the Future'']]
* "Future Crimes": [[ImmortalityImmorality Jonas Bleeker]] is an elderly man who found a way to keep himself young and immortal. Capturing thousands members of a small sapient alien race called the Stookie, Bleeker put them in his giant cage in a farm, where he has them butchered and carved apart to create a [[FantasticDrug drug]] which halted the aging process. Killing thousands of Stookies this way, Bleeker tried to kill Judge Dredd when the latter discovered this operation.
* "Quake": [[FantasticRacism Shockwave]], real name Orion Gulch, was once the best demolition man in Mega-City One before he was replaced by a robot. Angered by this, Orion [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul enhanced himself with cybernetics]] and decided to force the city to destroy all the robots within it. Destroying the Jim Carrie Block of the city and killing most of its residents, Shockwave put forward his demand, threatening to destroy more city blocks if denied. As the Judges manage to save most of the residents of the Van Damme Block before he destroyed it, and send Dredd after him, Shockwave prepared to destroy the Jurgen Klinsmann Block, [[MakeAnExampleOfThem just to teach the Judges a lesson]].
* "Invasion": [[AliensAreBastards Lord Commander]] is the leader of a shapeshifting alien race, who decided to show humanity "who are the rightful rulers of the galaxy". Responsible for the events of "Monster" and "First Strike" stories by sending his spies to Earth to gather information, Lord Commander then has his agents sabotage the city defenses and create chaos on the streets, allowing him to [[AlienInvasion attack Mega-City One with his fleet]], bombing entire sectors of the city and killing thousands. Demanding surrender, Lord Commander openly intends to either destroy all the population of Mega-City One, if they refuse, or turn them into his slaves and [[ToServeMan food]] for his army, if they accept.

Adopting the name Death, Sidney orders three other scientists, who were given powers from the Dead Dimension, to kill as many people as they can, while he uses their physical bodies to bring the Dead World to Earth, [[OmnicidalManiac fully intending to kill everyone within Mega-City One]].
