Mega City One = setting of Judge Dredd
... and these guys have been 'shopped to resemble various characters from Dredd.

except they aren't, they're characters from 2000AD
only Dredd, Death and Mean Machine inhabit mega city one, the Cap'n has clearly taken leave of his senses in the title ;)

and death inhabits the parallel dimension
but they pop in on the city every now and then, which is more than Slaine and co does.
Speaking of Death, I didn't know there was a Stallone universe version: Following the release of the Judge Dredd movie, a comic set in its continuity, entitled Judge Dredd: Lawman of the Future, was published, and soon featured a story introducing this continuity's version of Judge Death. He remains a death-dispensing monster from another dimension, but in this storyline, he is actually an alternate-dimension incarnation of Dredd himself, who died in the line of duty, but was supernaturally resurrected through his undying desire to dispense justice.

That actually makes sense*
Seeing as Dredd was always supposed to be the uberbastard.
*In a comic book kinda way.
