Lets Face IT!

This Detective, did more than solve crimes and bring criminals to justice:

He faced down the biggest peril to all Americans,
He Arrested his so many fears. In many cases he caught the bad guys and at same time defeated his fears.

Which detective, crime fighter would you say is a superhero?

The Mentalist because with all the shit he pulled off he must have had actual superpowers.

Yeah, I think his superpower was being insufferably smug. Still...Robin Tunney!

Then you could also pick Shawn Spencer from Psych for his psychic abilities. Although I'e heard it both ways.

Speaking of insufferable… at least this one does have a legit superpower:
FOREVER

It would have been better with a hot female protagonist. Probably would have lasted more than one season

With a bit of shame - I agree. I watched nearly every episode!

I also own the entire series of Monk. I believe choosing Tony Shalhoub to play Monk was the most inspired casting choice in the history of television.

Bert, you're my hero in this thread. Do you recall when Monk tried to find murderer of karate champ and is buried alive. Trudy comes to him and he fins solace while entombed in the casket.

Don't you think perhaps Trudy was the real heroine as though the truth cost her her life, she in the afterlife continued to strengthen and encourage Monk to be the hero he was meant to be?

I love that they had unique music just for Trudy's appearances.
