Second set of votes coming up this morning and while the first vote dealt some of Mega City Ones vilest, this one deals with some of their finest... so that's totaliatrian supporters of a fascistic state... hmmmm there's nothing more interesting here than how we define a 'hero' in 2000ad is there! Which of these gun toting law enforcer are your favourites?... and remember we're talking characters, not controversial recent series!...
Pop the names if the two characters you'd like to progress into Round 2 in a reply to this thread and I'll count up early Thursday 23rd July.

Judge Anderson & Dirty Frank.
Anderson & Hershey
Judge Hershey and Judge Anderson
Judge Giant Jnr - the greatest Dreddworld character of them all (and that includes Dredd.) Once there was a time when it genuinely looked like he was being primed to inherit the strip - now he's in Rob Williams stories, so if he keeps his limbs, it'll be a victory.
Judge Anderson - she's had her ups and downs, but sassy Cassie remains 2000AD's most iconic woman (yes, even more so than Ms Jones.)
Giant and Dirty Frank.
Point and Giant
Anderson Frank
Judge Anderson and Dirty Frank.

Judge Anderson & Dirty Frank.
Whilst Hershey fell to whatever the most recent mega-crisis was, Anderson saw it coming and took another galactic vacation.
That same mega-crisis saw the heroic end of both Giant Jr. (assassinated by Orlok's son's nano-satelat) and Jack Point (who sacrificed himself to save DeMarco), whilst Dirty Frank absentmindedly played with the fairy-lights in his hair and was utterly overlooked by the combined invasion force of Kleggs & East-Meg die-hards.
JUdge Giant and Dirty Frank
Anderson and Frank for me please!
Judge Hershey and Judge Anderson
Anderson's had her fair share of both highs and lows, but she' s still an iconic character - as Greg says, maybe still the iconic female character of Tooth. Certainly the first to be anything like equal to the males of the time.
And... Dirty Frank. So nearly voted for Giant, but it's hard to resist a character who refers to themselves in the third person, and Frank's endearingly vulnerable and broken, too.
Anderson and Jack Point.
I have the feeling this one is close... well for runner up. So get your votes in as they could swing this on the final day as this vote closes first thing tomorrow morning.
Anderson and Giant for me, please.
Anderson and Giant Jnr for me too, please!
Dirty Frank and Jnr Giant. One because he embodies how crazy the world of Dredd can be, without being ridiculous, and the other because he exemplifies the depth of character development and time spent doing so over the decades.

Judge Anderson & Dirty Frank
VOTING CLOSED - But as ever keep the conversation going. This one fascinates me.
Well there was never a doubt on the winner here, surely one of the favourites to get into later rounds, if we read your mind correctly. The winner of the group was
Psi Judge Cassandra Anderson
Runner up was far more keenly fought, Hershey recent controversy might have done for her, I wonder how she'd have done if they'd leff her for dead... as it is she and the Simping Detective never really got going. There was however a Giant battle for runner up spot, but you me Frankly you got this one right as there's few Judge with as much character as
Dirty Frank
who will go under cover into the second round as runner up.
Anderson and Giant please.
Mrs Anderson's little girl and Mrs Frank's lumbering freakosaurus.
