Judge Dredd would later put an end to the war by giving East-Meg One and its no-good Soviet Judges a taste of their own medicine. The ensuing radioactive fallout, nuclear winter, and starvation of this event (dubbed the Apocalypse War) would further inflict a massive death count. But that is actually just a diversion manufactured by the Soviet Judges of East-Meg One in Russia to launch a nuclear attack on the southern sectors of Dredd’s home turf, taking 150 million lives. In 2104, several block wars would erupt across the megalopolis, resulting in major casualties. Going into the 22nd century, however, the already hardened population would be further traumatized. By the mid-2100s, however, that number would be reduced to half its size.ĭue to the high crime rate within Mega-City One, death is almost like a daily occurrence for its citizens. Block construction over the next 30 years causes Mega-City One’s population to reach 800 million by the start of the 22nd century. The situation forces the city to resort to building towering apartment blocks that can house more than 50,000 people. But it soon finds itself attracting millions of refugees from less fortunate American cities. Mega-City One survives the nuclear war because of its experimental laser shield technology. In 2070, the global Atomic War transforms the majority of the United States into radioactive wasteland. It would quickly expand in size to accommodate the unstoppable growth of its population, enveloping Massachusetts (and beyond) in the north, Florida in the south, and parts of Ohio in the west. Its population would balloon in the next few years, laying the foundation of what would become the first American mega-city. It was intended as a metropolitan area that connects the nation’s capital to New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and other East Coast states, providing housing and work for those living in and around the region. ![]() Judge Dredd’s city started as an extended urban area stretching from Washington, D.C. ![]()
