Later still, Mean Machine Angel was resurrected by Krysler and teamed up with his brother Fink in another attempt on Dredd's life. On that occasion, Fink died too, but Mean survived and returned to bedevil Dredd on several occasions before apparently being cured of his homicidal tendencies, which were the result of unnecessary cybernetic surgery carried out on him as a child on Pa's instructions (he felt that the peaceful, gentle Mean was letting the side down). Years later, it was revealed that Pa and Junior had also survived their initial clash with Dredd, but they were subsequently jailed and haven't been seen since (writer John Wagner later admitted that resurrecting them was a mistake).
