The only people who can say for sure who is the top 3rd character (after Tharg and Dredd) are the truly dedicated
2000 AD make so many series which start and end
For some It will be Slaine, Nikolai Dante (Long Run), Rogue Trooper (Long Run), Robo Hunter, The V.C.s, Kano & Bad Company, Strontium Dog (Long Run), Durham Red (Long Run), Nemesis The Warlock (Long Run), The A.B.C. Warriors (Long Run), Zenith (Long Run)
There are so many Thrilling characters and series which have appeard in the pages of 2000 AD from the fertile imagination of Pat Mills, John Wagner, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Garth Ennis, Gerry Finley Day and Robbie Morrison.
Everyone will have their favorites (you can not have just 1... its impossible)
One of the reasons Judge Dredd totally stomps the vote is even if you don't like the character.... The World His Stories are set in has so much depth.
also
2000 AD really used to stretch the 'all likenesses to actual real life people and events is purely co-incidental' defense to the fullest (and break it) publishing brutal side splitting parodies (brutal as in you'll cry laughing, once you figure out exactly what they're doing and keep on laughing until it hurts to laugh any more, or you need a drink of water because you're so dehydrated) where Judge Dredd has more of an investigative role in the story.
Okay I'm going to call upon one of the few 2000 AD Crossovers which are Official Canon in 2000 AD For the benefit of all those who can not understand why Dredd Is On A Completely Different Level to Guys Like Blade
2000 AD Dark Horse Comics Crossover
Written & Produced by The Old Gang - So Its 1000% Dredd Canon
Mega Spoiler Alert:
After a Ton of Action Dredd To Save His City Seals Himself Deep In An Underground Tunnel With Thousands of Xenomorphs. There is no place for him to hide or retreat. The Xenomorphs have filled the tunnel he's in. Sorry for the Spoiler, When You read that story you will be like No Dredd Nooooooooo! Don't Do It. He's Making The Ultimate Sacrifice. But The Situation He Is In And The Judges at Central Are In - As Usual its a worse than hopeless situation. It's so sad. John Wagner is a writer who has the ability like James Cameron to run a knife through the heart of the reader.
Like any John Wagner Story, There Is The Story and Then There Is Another Story... You'll love the ending.
And when you think surely it can not get any worse for Dredd surely.... It gets worse. And he still fights.
We all know Xenomorphs Right. We all know how tough it is to have to battle just one of them in the open.
The tunnel system is full of Xenomorphs. There are enough to terminate every one of the Hundreds Of Millions Of Citizens In Mega City One.
Thats Typical Dredd - How Can You Explain What He Does.
Put Blade In The Same Situation. Put Spider-Man In The Same Situation. Swimming In Xenomorphs.
Judge Dredd - You have to read if for yourself - Its impossible to explain. He fights Dimension Destroying Sorcerers, Advanced Alien Lifeforms, Invading Armies, Mutants, Monsters, AI, Telepaths, Ghosts / Paranormal Spirit Beings (With His Gun and His Utility Belt And Sheer Force Of Will), Omniscient Omnipotent Beings and Kills Them Dead. Has a shave, a change of uniform and a synthi caff and goes back out on patrol like its nothing.
...back down from what? You? I don't care about you. Like I said at first and will continue you say, you're deflecting because you can't make an actual point. Either address the topic of the thread or maybe lot off for a bit, because you're making the thread worse.
Nice try. It was a link to a spam video that had absolutely nothing to do with this discussion. You've already been told not to post that type of stuff here, but you did anyway. Hence the edit.
Continue the BS you're pulling now, however, and the consequences will be greater than me just editing one of your posts.
Thanks.

I don't want your thanks. I don't want your warnings.
I was never warned about links. It was about something totally different. This is bordering on harassment. Stop abusing your power. I don't need to hear from you.
You were warned about posting spam links and such in another thread. By me.
That said, telling you to stop posting off-topic spam links does not constitute "harassment" by any stretch of the word. If you didn't post that type of stuff in the first place, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Again, I suggest you just drop it and move on.
Thanks.
