Rogue Trooper | 2000 AD

Introducing Rogue Trooper

He is the ultimate future warrior: the Rogue Trooper is the lone genetically-engineered soldier stalking the poisonous, war-torn landscape of Nu-Earth. With him travel three of his dead comrades – Helm, Gunnar and Bagman – their personalities transferred into bio-chips implanted into his rifle, helmet, and backpack. Their mission: hunt down the man who betrayed them!

Created in 1981 by writer Gerry Finley-Day and artist Dave Gibbons for the comic 2000 AD, Rogue stands alone in the middle of the bitter war between the Norts and the Southers, a desperate fight for control over the battle-blasted planet orbiting a vital space wormhole.

Nu-Earth: a world of war

Chemical and biological weapons have turned Nu-Earth one of the most dangerous planets in the galaxy, a “poisoned, polluted rock” where no human life can survive.

Although Rogue is designed to be immune to the toxic atmosphere, every step on the surface of the planet could be his last. In order to track down the Traitor General he will have to endure the perils of this hellish world, from living barbed wire to acid rain, from viral weapons to poison clouds, and more – all while staying one step ahead of the death-dealing troopers stationed on either side of this vicious war – if he has any hope of completing his mission…

Norts vs. Southers

This place of endless war sits in the centre of a vast conflict between two factions: the Norts and the Southers. In an attempt to sway the war in their favour, the Southers created the GIs – “Genetic Infantryman”, impervious to the poisonous atmosphere and trained to be the ultimate warriors. Yet on their very first mission the GIs were betrayed by one of their own, who warned the Norts in advance – from the subsequent massacre, only Rogue survived.

He and his dead companions strike out on their own with one goal in mind: track down the man who betrayed them and bring the Traitor General to justice!
