Line 6: Played by Idris Elba {{quote\| "Why did I come here? 'Cause I wanted to tell you I know you kept the gun, and sooner or later I'll find it."}} * [[Anti -Hero]]: John is probably a type III, where he's relatively good but dangerous. John has proved that he will go beyond the law and beyond 'good' to do what he needs to ultimately. * [[Badass]] * [[Badass Bookworm]]: In episode two, John tells the shooter that he loved to read books growing up - while his dad wanted him to get interested in sports and other things. Line 16: * [[Fearless Fool]]: Big time. You could say it almost overlaps with [[Death Seeker]], because he almost always arranges situations were he's alone with the suspect with little backup. * [[Genius Bruiser]]: He's not making a lot out of Alice's and Owen Lynch's attempts at killing him. And Henry Madsen is running from him for a reason. * [[Grey and Gray Morality]]: He will bend rules to the breaking point. {{spoiler\|Help bury bodies and frame other criminals. Threaten witnesses to protect someone under his care.}} Hence his [[Anti -Hero]] status. * [[Guile Hero]] * [[Hero ~~With~~with Bad Publicity]]: John is helping people but all the people he works with just see rage issues and unreliability... ** [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: ...and yet, he manages to [[Averted Trope\|avert this trope]]. Everyone acknowledges that he's a brilliant cop - his boss responds with "he's back" when Luther sees through Alice in one conversation; Schenk admits that while he'll sack him on charges of improper conduct without blinking, he'll also do that to a good man and policeman; and Zoe immediately thrusts him when told that she's in danger without any evidence at all, solely based on Luther being Luther. * [[Odd Friendship]]: With both Alice, [[For the Evulz\|the woman who murdered her parents to see if she could]] and Mark, the man who used to sleep with John's wife. * [[Papa Wolf]]: Has shades of this with Jenny Jones. * [[Scary Black Man]]: Over 6 feet tall and with some serious anger issues just waiting to get out. Henry Madsen tried to escape him at all costs for a reason. * [[True Companions]]: By the end of the second series, he's one with [[Sociopathic Hero\|Alice]], [[The Lancer\|Justin]], [[Fire -Forged Friends\|Mark]] and [[Da Chief\|Schenk]]. * [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: With Alice. Line 31: [[File:tvtropes_3179.jpg\|frame\| The Black Hole to his Burning Sun ]] {{quote\| '''Luther:''' I'm coming for you.~~<br />~~ '''Alice:''' Not if I'm coming for you first. }} Line 47: * [[Odd Friendship]]: Considers Luther her only real friend. * [[The Sociopath]] * [[Stalker ~~With~~with a Crush]]: Maybe. Her expression when she looks up Luther's background suggests that she's getting off from it. * [[Token Evil Teammate]] * [[Undying Loyalty]]: She flat out admits that she would never betray Luther.
