Judge Doom

 "Remember me Eddie!? When I killed your brother, I talked, Just, Like, THIIISSSS!!!!!!!!"

- Judge Doom revealing his true form as a Toon.

Judge Doom is the main antagonist in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. He was posed as a high-ranking judge for the majority of the film - however he employed tactics that were at odds with traditional views of justice such as the employment of a mob of weasel gangsters and the execution of toons via a chemical solution he named "The Dip" which was said to be the only way to truly kill a toon forever.

Judge Doom wished to destroy Toon Town in order to build a motorway over the entire area and was happy to commit the equivelent of mass genocide to do so, building a huge machine by which to literally erase Toon Town from existence via the use of high-powered cannons filled with Dip - however his plans were in danger of being foiled if anyone found the will to Toon Town, which gave the toons rightful ownership of the land.

In an attempt to stop this happening, Doom murdered several prominent figures that could potentially foil his plans and framed the troubled toon, Roger Rabbit, for one of the murders - in desperation, Roger went to the private detective known as Eddie for help, despite Eddie's reluctance to get involved in another case involving a toon.

For the majority of the film, Judge Doom was portrayed as being almost xenophobic and merciless towards toons and regarded them as vermin (despite hiring some as henchmen) - by the end of the film, however, Judge Doom revealed that he was a toon himself, one that was murderously insane and had been responsible for the death of Eddie's brother years previously - an event that had hardened the once fun-loving detective and made him extremely cynical of toons.

Judge Doom met his demise at the end of the film via being drenched in his own Dip. As he melted he showed more of his toon nature as he couldn't resist doing a parody of the Wicked Witch's death as he melted - screaming in pain "I'm melting" as he slowly died, the other toons wondering what he might of looked like.

Trivia

 * There are in reality many times throughout the movie in which leads to the fact Judge Doom is a toon.


 * In the bar, he backed away from the Dip, though in the end it was shown not to effect regular people. Also, he is shown to detest laughter, as it is a toons role to be funny, too much comedy might have made Doom lose his cover
