History[]
Judge Lopez is a character from the 2000 AD strip Judge Dredd. He was the engineer assigned to Judge Joseph Dredd's special squad aboard Justice One during the Judge Child Quest. He was good at his job, but unfortunately managed to get up Dredd's nose by having something below his own: a moustache, which Dredd disliked as he considered facial hair a sign of vanity unbecoming in a Judge.
Lopez resented Dredd's disapproval and there was considerable friction between them. However, this in no way contributed to Dredd's decision to order Lopez to be the crew member to take the dangerous mind-expanding drug known as Oracle Spice in the hope that it would help lead them to the Judge Child — a decision which unfortunately resulted in Lopez's death after a terrifyingly bad trip. Dredd would never be that petty! Nuh-uh, no way!
