The Angel Gang
Used as something of a throwaway foil in The Judge Child quest, Dredd (once he catches up with them) makes short work of this evil, self-serving Cursed Earth family (made up of Pa, Junior, Link and Mean). But, the idea of the Angel Gang refused to die and was first expanded upon, with the addition of Fink Angel, before The Mean Machine was fully resurrected - going on to have many of his own antagonistic adventures in head-butting. The gang themselves are rarely seen together, although there's been an effort to rethink the legend in the modern (yet both historical and revisionist) Angelic.
