Judge Guthrie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Judge Guthrie is a fictitional character from Judge Dredd.

He first appeared in the comic strip as an undercover judge in City Sector 301. The criminal gang he infiltrated had corrupted some of the judges in that sector, including Guthrie's handler, and when his investigations became too successful she exposed his identity, knowing that the criminals would murder him. Guthrie managed to escape, and so his handler tried to kill him herself. Guthrie killed her and two other rogue judges in self defence, but not knowing who to trust he became a fugitive hiding in the underworld. Judge Dredd eventually arrested Guthrie and cleared his name (by which time they had killed two more corrupt judges between them). Guthrie returned to uniform duties, and his inside knowledge of the mob helped to bring them down.

In 2127 Guthrie was severely wounded by a bomb, losing most of his limbs, and was unable to return to normal street duty. He became despondent and asked Judge Giant to help him die, but Giant was able to convince him to live. Guthrie was later fitted with a new cybernetic body, enabling him to return to active duty as a catch-wagon driver, transporting newly-arrested criminals from arrest scenes to holding cells. Although his duties no longer routinely involve investigating crime or making arrests, his body suit is equipped with a variety of weapons systems.
