YMMV / Anderson: Psi-Division

• Complete Monster
  • 2000 AD continuity: Judge Elan Fauster is the head of the occultist department within Psi-Ops. When Judge Anderson is infected with Half-Life, a 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, boasting that he can afford to outlast any punishment that's in store for him.
  • IDW Publishing continuity ("The King of the Six Sectors"): Ashberry is the mastermind behind everything bad happening in the comic, and also orchestrated the events of Judge Dredd: Year One. Starting off as a common conman, Ashberry discovers a powerful Psi mutant, after which he killed the rest of his gang and had scientists transfer part of mutant's powers to him. Gaining Psi abilities, Ashberry uses his mutant to travel to other dimensions and manipulate the natives into killing each other, while he steals their valuables. 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. Wiping out the mutant village and transforming several Psi people into bombs, Ashberry uses them to kill his rivals, while intending on taking over Mega-City One completely.
