* IdealHero: The case ''could'' be made that he's one of these instead of a Type 2 AntiHero; the strongest supporting evidence toward this argument lies in the finale of "The Blue Flame of Vengeance" where he [[spoiler:tries to talk one of the villains into walking away from the fight and from the evil men he has aligned himself with. When the villain refuses and subsquently dies, Solomon is visibly grieved and exits the story in a somber mood]].

** The stories are peppered with them, but there's a wonderfully understated "boast" from Solomon, always a man of few words, in one of his first spoken lines in "Red Shadows":
--->[Solomon] eased her to the earth, and touched her brow lightly. "Dead!" he muttered.... A dark scowl had settled on his somber brow. Yet he made no wild, reckless vow, swore no oath by saints or devils. "Men shall die for this," he said coldly.
