Kraken

A clone of Judge Dredd engineered by the rogue geneticist Morton Judd, Kraken was raised among the Judda — an army of Dredd clones — and groomed to infiltrate Mega-City One's Justice Department, secretly serving as a sleeper agent within the very institution he was designed to destroy.

Few characters in the Judge Dredd universe carry quite the weight of Kraken, who first surfaced in the pages of 2000 AD #583 in 1988 — right in the thick of British comics' most creatively explosive era. Published by Fleetway, this figure has kept genuinely formidable company across nearly three decades, sharing the page with titans like Judge Dredd himself, the terrifying Judge Death, and Judge Fear. Collected across Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files and the Judge Dredd Megazine, Kraken's presence in Mega-City One's brutal world stretches all the way to 2016, a testament to lasting impact in one of comics' most uncompromising universes — and well worth hunting down for any serious 2000 AD devotee.
