Túrin does come across as something of a bully, basically using his fighting prowess as a tool to pretty much take over Nargothrond and Brethil. Physically powerful, emotionally weak, lashing out at those who remind him of his own failures, such as Brandir.
I see an echo of that later in Boromir, though obviously without the connections with "disabled" individuals.
