Hieronymous Alloy posted:One of my personal pet theories is that Doyle didn't so much invent the detective as invent the superhero. Holmes has all the hallmarks -- he's got a superpower (observation and deduction), he fights crime, he has a sidekick (Watson) and a nemesis (Moriarty), he "dies" and returns from the dead, he was published in a monthly illustrated magazine (the Strand), he had a distinctive costume (pipe and deerstalker), etc. & so forth.
