Fictional character biography


In Turpin's first appearance, he is one of the few citizens of Metropolis aware that a secretive war is taking place in the city between super-powered beings. When this war turns violent, Turpin's boss tries to take him off the case, but Turpin ignores him. Turpin leads the fight against the rampaging Kalibak, using the city's energy to assist Lightray and Orion in defeating him. Turpin is injured, but survives.
He keeps his job and becomes Lieutenant Inspector of the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit. In the third Superboy series, Turpin is sent to Hawaii to investigate whether they need a Special Crimes Unit of their own. While initially skeptical, a visit from the Female Furies convinces Turpin that the islands need an SCU. In current Superman titles, Turpin is extremely loyal to Maggie Sawyer before her transfer to Gotham City. His romantic feelings for her fall apart when he learns she is lesbian. Turpin has a daughter named Maisie.
He has spent a long time fighting threats in Metropolis; such as the rampaging group of mutants called the 'Underworlders'.
In Final Crisis, Turpin investigates the case of several missing children and Orion's death. He is possessed by Darkseid, but freed after Batman shoots him with a poisonous Radion bullet.
