Nero Narcos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nero Narcos is a fictional character from the Judge Dredd comic strip in British comic 2000 AD.

Narcos was the leader of the criminal syndicate called the Frendz, who was a recurring villain in late-90s Judge Dredd stories. He was responsible for employing Vitus Dance and Orlok to assassinate a rival criminal, and instigating the events of the Doomsday crossover.

In the story The Narcos Connection, Narcos sabotaged a new batch of upgraded lawgivers by programming them to self-destruct when used by their authorized users (once they received a radio signal, so the rogue command took effect in all weapons simultaneously). This resulted in large numbers of judges being crippled or killed at the precise moment they were attacked by Narcos's Assassinator robots at the beginning of the Second Robot War in 2121. Nero Narcos was swiftly able to conquer Mega-City One and drive the Judges underground, but once he actually had the city conquered he found himself unable to actually run it. After a team led Judge Dredd, with assistance from Brit-Cit, were able to cripple his robotic army, Narcos was defeated and executed.
