[edit] History
Daniel Turpin was a cop from the street who worked his way up in the SCU. He always liked Superman, but did not always want him to interfere in police business, and this sometimes got him in trouble with Maggie Sawyer, who supported Superman and sometimes even wanted to bring him in on cases. However, Turpin even once saved Superman from Bruno Mannheim and Kanto earning the Man of Steel's respect. Turpin was also involved in the fight against the Parasite and Earl Garver. Turpin continued his career of fighting crime until his death.
[edit] Last Days
Turpin, along with the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit, resisted Darkseid's invasion of Earth.
Dan Turpin was killed by Darkseid out of spite after being driven from Earth by Highfather and the New Gods.
A large memorial service was held for Turpin, with attendees including Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, Maggie Sawyer, Emil Hamilton, Lex Luthor, Mercy Graves and many others. After the memorial service ended, Superman personally stood in front of Turpin's grave and bid farewell to his old friend, concluding that "In the end, the world didn't really need a Superman, just a brave one."
Daniel Turpin's grave, which proclaims him as "Earth's Greatest Hero", lies on the sunny hillside of Metropolis, visited by friends in life and watched over by longtime ally Superman.
