Dan Turpin

Dan “Terrible” Turpin is a fictional character from DC Comics. He is a police inspector in Metropolis.

He was a tough, no-nonsense cop nicknamed “Terrible” Turpin a member of the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit. He was extremely loyal to Inspector Sawyer, before her transfer to Gotham City, and was romantically interested in her before learning she was a lesbian.

Possibly inspired by his attitude, and the fact he always wears a derby hat, later writers have revealed him to be the adult version of Kirby’s Golden Age “kid-gang” character Brooklyn, of the Boy Commandos.

Turpin was sent to Hawaii to investigate whether or not they needed a Special Crimes Unit of their own. While initially skeptical, a visit from the Female Furies convinced Dan that the islands needed an SCU.
