Who's Who in the Superman Comics

Turpin, Dan

Inspector with the Metropolis Police Department. "Terrible" Turpin has frequently worked with Superman and Maggie Sawyer's S.C.U. since Superman helped stop an alien assassin bought to Metropolis by the criminal group Intergang. Turpin admires Maggie Sawyer professionally and as a friend, and even once proposed to her, unaware of her sexual orientation.

Despite Maggie leaving the Metropolis SCU, Dan remains in Metropolis, although he is seen less in the comics, he is still in the background fighting for his city. He was last seen during the "Our Worlds at War" saga, and will surely surface again.

First Appearance: SUP #7 (July 1987)
