Maggie Sawyer is a fictional character that appears in stories published by DC Comics, and has been a supporting character in both Superman and Batman comic books. ==Fictional character biography== Maggie was introduced in ''Superman'' (2nd series) in April 1987, as Captain Sawyer of the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit, a special branch of the Metropolis police force that handles superpowered menaces when Superman is unavailable. Maggie mostly replaced Inspector Henderson from the previous comics as Superman's main police contact. She was added to the Superman canon following the 12-issue maxi-series ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' and the 6-issue miniseries that rebooted the comics, ''The Man of Steel''. She tries to prove the police force is more efficient than a vigilante in fighting crime, and so becomes a constant thorn in Superman's side during the early days of his career, even trying to apprehend him occasionally. Eventually, after being injured and saved by Superman during a terrorist plot, her attitude towards him warms up. Later stories revealed that she originally came from Star City, and was married to another police officer until she realized she was a lesbian. The two had one daughter named Jamie.〔 Since her divorce, Maggie has been in a relationship with Toby Raines, a reporter for the ''Metropolis Star''.〔 Maggie has a close working relationship with Dan Turpin, the second-in-command of the SCU. Henderson, however, resents the fact that she gives orders to officers who outrank her and, when he becomes Commissioner following the ''Death of Superman'' storyline, resolves the situation by promoting her to Inspector. In the aftermath, Sawyer becomes involved in a covert 'war' between Superman's allies and Project Cadmus. The group, led by the evil Paul Westfield, has stolen Superman's body for their own ends.〔"Superman The Man Of Steel" (March 1993)〕 Sawyer's close friendship with injured ex-police officer Eddie Walker is examined in flashback as Walker becomes the hero Loose Cannon.〔''Superman In Action Comics'' #5 (1993)〕 Inspector Sawyer is the main character in the 1998 comics limited series ''Metropolis SCU''. In mid-2000s comics, Maggie has been transferred to Gotham City's police force as the head of the Major Crimes Unit, and is a significant character in the comic ''Gotham Central''. The move has placed some strain on her relationship, since Toby did not follow her to Gotham. Following the events of ''Infinite Crisis'', Harvey Bullock discovers corruption in the GCPD apparently all the way up to Commissioner Michael Akins. In the end, James Gordon returns to his former position as commissioner. Maggie Sawyer, however, does not appear to be involved and is still a Captain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maggie Sawyer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
