judge anderson

A fictional Science fiction Cyberpunk character from the 2000 AD and the Dredd 2012 film.

Like her mythical namesake Cassandra (the character from The Iliad that could see the future), Judge Cassandra Anderson has psychic powers. In addition to being able to sense approaching danger and foresee events of the near future, as did her namesake, she also has telepathy. This allows her to read other people's minds and use mental attacks. These abilities allowed her to be a member of Mega-City One's corps of "Judges" as member of the Psi Division, which includes all Judges possessing psychic abilities.

Anderson started as a supporting player in the comic stories of Judge Dredd from 2000 AD and eventually rose in prominence and became the star of her own series, which are entitled Anderson: Psi-Division.

She was created by writer John Wagner and artist Brian Bolland in 1980. Since 1988, Anderson has been written almost exclusively by Alan Grant, often working with artist Arthur Ranson.
