Who is Chopper?

Chopper is a character from the 2000AD series - Judge Dredd (created by writers John Wagner / Alan Grant and artist Ron Smith ). Chopper was a typical Mega-City One juve - bored and restless with no future. So he broke out by being a wallscrawler, challenging the Judges with his own brand of graffiti. He was eventually caught by Judge Dredd , but not before making his mark on the big Meg. While being rehabilitated, Chopper took up skysurfing, took part in illegal Supersurfs and become World Champion. This set him up against Oz skysurfer Jug McKenzie . The pair were initially bitter rivals, but eventually became friends. Several times Chopper outwitted the law (and Judge Dredd), but he couldn't repeat his success in subsequent Supersurf races.
