* How about Irene Adler? Think for a minute about Irene Adler as a character from the context of the time of the story's release: Holmes is a master detective (and in this story a kind of PunchClockHero working for a self-interested monarch who just wants to make sure he doesn't lose out on a sweet deal), while she's just an ordinary opera singer. Not only does she end up fooling him despite his best efforts but also ''[[KarmaHoudini completely gets away with it]]'', fleeing the country with a man she married out of love and admitting in her last note that she wasn't going to ruin the king and just wanted to move on with her life. No other character in the Sherlock Holmes canon has outsmarted Holmes and gotten away with it. No wonder Holmes held her in such high regard. Holmes, one of the greatest RatedMForManly {{Guile Hero}}es in history, ''lost to a woman in a story written in 1891'' and had to learn a lesson from it. There's a good reason why Irene Adler appears in pretty much every adaptation of Sherlock Holmes despite only being in one of the original stories.

We said 'original'. That means the 60.

* He also knocks out Sir Gervase, a boxer, with a single punch, and then proceeds to smoothly order some breakfast in ''The Adventure of The Wax Gamblers'' (a non-canon story by Creator/JohnDicksonCarr). It's particularly enjoyable to see Watson being ice cool and [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee Holmes going into full fanboy mode over]] ''[[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee him]]'' for a change.
