Mad Murdoch: Superhero extroardanaire

If you have not seen the A-team (as in the old show) go out and do so immediately as it is fantastic. Over my viewing career of the show I have come to one undeniable truth. Murdoch is actually both a superhero and completely sane. Now you might be asking yourself "If he is a superhero and sane, why does he act the way he does?". The answer is simple, he's become bored of being indestructible and so he has decided to challenge himself. Murdoch does something new on every mission simply to see if he can do both it, and complete the mission without using his superpowers (this would also explain why he will take such big risks,he doesn't have too worry about being hurt). This also explains one other thing, the reason BA has not beaten Murdoch senseless. Murdoch actually told BA about his superpowers a long time ago (either that or BA just figured it out) and BA is trying to keep up his manly image so he will threaten Murdoch but he won't him as there would be no point. Finally, on one mission Murdoch actually dressed up as a superhero, he was dropping subtle hints to other members of the team to see if they would figure it out. I'm assuming that Hannibal also knows but just likes having Murdoch around and doesn't want too scare him off by telling him he knows he's secret. Also, Hannibal is hoping that if they are actually about too get shot Murdoch can save them as a last resort. Murdoch also hangs out in an insane asylum as the peoples behavior amuses him. Finally, I also believe that the only reason some of Hannibal's plans actually work is that Murdoch uses super speed to beat up a few people before they actually arrive.
