 Judge Dredd himself was prepared to treat mutants decently when he met them in the Cursed Earth, so long as they behaved themselves.In early issues Dredd believed mutants were inherently hostile to norms  but would rather avoid conflict in the Cursed Earth, feeling that "those crazy devils" "deserve "pity"... not vengeance".He came to realise mutants weren't all "crazy and evil" early into "The Cursed Earth".
