For over a century, Sherlock Holmes has been one of the icons of English-language mystery fiction, and the character's popularity has spread around the world and through multiple media. Not surprisingly for such an influential character, Holmes has become a Fountain of Expies. Most post-Holmes Great Detectives have some Holmesian influence, but in the case of the Sherlock Homage this is particularly blatant. Sherlock Homages are intelligent, cerebral, eccentric characters who solve mysteries and are very good at it. They may be heroes or antiheroes, but are never outright villains. While they often have a keen understanding of human behavior in a Guile Hero sort of way, the typical Sherlock Homage is not a people person - whether due to introversion, Intelligence Equals Isolation, or being a bit of a jerk. Sherlock Homages favor logic over emotion, and if they do have unexpected reserves of feeling they tend not to be gushy about it. They often have other traits inspired by aspects of Sherlock Holmes' character, such as: Deadpan Snarker tendencies Being a Badass Bookworm, often with martial arts skills Eccentricity, perhaps (especially in more recent adaptations) to the point of disorder Substance abuse issues Being a Celibate Hero Hyper-Awareness or unusually keen senses Wearing a deerstalker hat or smoking a pipe (sometimes producing them out of nowhere) note that in the iconic Sydney Paget illustrations, Holmes is depicted as a conventionally dressed gentleman-about-town, only wearing a deerstalker or smoking a pipe where it would be usual to do so Having a sidekick, who may be a Watson homage Having an Evil Counterpart, who may be a Moriarty homage In series in which the original Sherlock Holmes stories exist, the Sherlock Homage may be an Ascended Fanboy and fully aware of their similarities. It isn't rare for a character who's not a Sherlock Homage all the time to spontaneously adopt Holmesian traits if the plot ever requires them to solve a mystery. Parodies of this trope, in which a character has the appearance of a Sherlock Homage but the skills of a Clueless Detective, are also common. |

The Great Mouse Detective: Basil is a detective mouse living beneath Holmes' apartment in Baker Street. He dresses like Holmes and has a similarly-eccentric personality. His sidekick Dawson is, of course, a mouse counterpart to Watson. Likewise Professor Ratigan, Basil's Arch-Enemy, is a Captain Ersatz for Sherlock's famous rival, Professor Moriaty. | |

The premise of House is basically Sherlock Holmes as a Medical Drama, where the eponymous Dr. Gregory House is an expert at solving medical mysteries. House has the snark, the genius, the substance abuse issues, and a nicer Heterosexual Life-Partner who's (also) a doctor. House and Wilson's surnames are even plays on Holmes ([[Fun with Homophones sounds like "homes") and Watson. | |

Psych's cast mirrors the Sherlock Holmes ensemble, but it's a funhouse mirror, if you get our drift. To wit: Shawn, like Holmes, is an eccentric private detective with a strong knack for observation. Unlike Holmes, he's immature and lazy. Gus, like Watson, is the detective's trusty sidekick who is more orthodox but less insightful. Both work in the medical industry: Watson's a doctor, Gus sells pills. Mycroft Holmes' counterpart is Shawn's father Henry. Shawn comes to him for advice on cases he can't solve. Whereas Mycroft is too lazy and unambitious to solve crimes, Henry's just retired and loving it; the man taught Shawn everything he knows. Lassiter, analog to Lestrade, is a dogged policeman who is highly skeptical of Shawn and his methods, yet is constantly forced to work with him. But while Holmes and Lestrade at least have mutual respect, Shawn and "Lassie" bicker like toddlers. |

Assassin's Creed Syndicate takes place in Victorian London, so it's a given. The "Dreadful Crimes" set of side missions has you help solve murder mysteries in the style of Holmes, accompanied by a Penny Dreadful writer and a young boy who is strongly implied to be a young Arthur Conan Doyle. If you know history, you might realize that the Penny Dreadful writer is in fact Adam Worth, a criminal and major inspiration for Professor Moriarty. To complete the homage, Jacob's wardrobe can include a deerstalker cape. | |

In the Bernice Summerfield novel Ship of Fools by Dave Stone, Benny finds herself in a Closed Circle space cruiser with multiple Clueless Detectives, all based on different fictional characters. Sandford Groke has the look ("a wiry human dressed in an archaic-looking herringbone suit") and attitude of Holmes, but is "a pig-ignorant, xenophobic, bumptious little tit", who turns out to be an artificial assassin programmed to believe he's a 1920s detective who was transported forward in time. | |

Basil of Baker Street is a Rare Rodent Example. He's a Badass Bookworm Great Detective who even wears a version of Sherlock Holmes' Iconic Outfit and has a doctor for a sidekick. It's a bit of an Invoked Trope in Basil's case, since Sherlock Holmes is a real person in this universe and Basil is a fanmouse who lives in his wainscotting. Not only does he have Professor Rattigan as a Moriarty countepart, but Mlle Relda for Irene Adler. | |

Nero Wolfe plays with this trope, since while he's definitely a Holmes Homage he's less Sherlock and more Mycroft. While he has as many nods to the Great Detective as any other other classic mystery investigator (and there's a persistently popular fan theory that he's Sherlock's son with Irene Adler), his general laziness, obesity and stubborn refusal to leave his house or break his routines for all but the most diabolical of situations are more reminiscent of the older Holmes than the younger. | |

Apart from the French accent and being serially married to multiple versions of the same woman, Sherloque Wells in The Flash (2014) is a Holmes homage. He's a brilliant detective. he's snarky and not great with people (although those are also common traits of Wells counterparts), he used to have an assistant called Watsunne and his one true love is Renee Adler. And the alternate universe he's from? Earth-221. | |

Herlock Shomles of The Great Ace Attorney is Sherlock Holmes in the original Japanese version, but due to copyright, the English localization was forced to use an expy. He is a (wannabe) Great Detective who solves crimes with Dr. Iris Wilson. In-game, he's more of a parody of the character who frequently gets the facts wrong, forcing Ryunosuke to correct him. | |

Detective William Murdoch of Murdoch Mysteries has the stellar record of solving cases (which he himself cites in his promotion interview in "The Glass Ceiling"), as well as being an autodidact (self-educated) whose studies are largely scientific. He keeps a selection of reference books in his office, but is also known to send out for research materials—or even conduct experiments—when needed. In an episode revolving around a talented "idiot savant", Julia speaks of him as also being disconnected from his emotions to no one in particular as she stands by her office phonograph, while William himself is standing in the background. On occasion, he can be a first-class Deadpan Snarker: a particularly good example (from "Holy Matrimony, Murdoch!") is his epic takedown of a judge who's convinced a woman killed her husband—the same judge mistakenly thought the same thing about Julia, and Murdoch points this out to his face. He generally avoids alcohol due to his father's alcoholism. Other characters echo those of Doyle's stories: Crabtree is the mundane assistant who also pens fiction (like Watson); medical services and expertise come from Drs Ogden, Francis, Grace and Roberts; various people (including Constables Crabtree and Higgins and Inspector Brackenreid) act as The Watson in having things explained to them; and James Gillies and Sally Pendrick bear striking resemblances to two of Holmes' most famous adversaries (Professor Moriarty and Irene Adler Norton). As revealed in the two episodes featuring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Murdoch is in fact a huge fan of Holmes. | |

Monk. Adrian Monk has excellent observational and deductive skills, but also has severe OCD, germophobia, and several other phobias which all make him very socially awkward. His Watson-analogue is a nurse/caretaker (Sharona in the first season, Natalie in later seasons) primarily concerned with helping Monk function in society. Captain Leland Stottlemeyer is the Lestrade-analogue, a by-the-book cop who makes the actual arrests, who often doubts Monk's logic and pursues the wrong suspects until the episode's end proves Monk correct. (As the series went on, Stottlemeyer came to trust Monk more.) There's even a Mycroft-analogue—Adrian's brother Ambrose, who's agoraphobic and hasn't left his house in years—and a Moriarty analogue (sort of)—Dale "The Whale" Biederbec. | |

The main character of Case Closed is Shinichi Kudo, a snarky young detective with an insanely keen eye for detail and an extensive amount of esoteric knowledge. He's a huge fan of Holmes himself, thinking of him as a role model despite being fictional. He'll often refer to Ran as "Watson". Shinichi's pseudonym as his child self is Conan Edogawa, a combination of the names of Arthur Conan Doyle and Ranpo Edogawa (another mystery writer). Most of the promotional art for the series has him wearing a deerstalker cap and pipe◊. | |

The Sliders episode "Murder Most Foul" sees Professor Arturo being brainwashed into thinking he is a Holmesian detective named Reginald Doyle, on the hunt for a Victorian serial killer named "Jolly Jack". Like Holmes, "Doyle" uses keen deductive reasoning and forensic methods, has a Watson-like sidekick named Marple, who he believes Quinn to be, and even wears the classic deerstalker cap/inverness cape ensemble. | |

Pokémon Looker, who is a reoccurring character in the main series of games. His general design is similar to Sherlock, he shows Hyper-Awareness, and while he's not a Private Detective (he's a police agent) but he uses it as a cover-up at least once. Looker also shares several traits with the Tenth Doctor from Doctor Who. The eponymous Detective Pikachu is a talking Pikachu who is a Private Detective. He wears a hat similar to Sherlock's but his general behavior is a bit different. It is an unusual premises but it is also getting a live action movie. |

Jago & Litefoot: The setting and tone of the audios bring to mind Sherlock Holmes though with a more supernatural angle. Jago at one point insists that Holmes and Watson are based on himself and Litefoot, though when they later meet Arthur Conan Doyle this isn't brought up. Hilariously in the story when they meet Doyle, they have to disguise themselves as Holmes and Watson, getting into a brief argument over who would fit the role of Holmes best. Generally speaking, Professor Litefoot, the well-educated pathologist, fits the Holmes role, while Jago, the bombastic theater man, is The Watson, but there's some flexibility there, and whenever the Doctor comes to visit, they both serve as his Watson like they did in their introductory story. | |

Invoked in the Albert Campion novel Police at the Funeral, which begins with Campion arranging to meet a potential client in a crypt while he's wearing a Holmes-style deerstalker, partly because he finds it amusing and partly because he's trying to indulge his client's impressions of detectives as derived from mystery novels. Outside of this, however, beyond shared similarities possessed by any Golden Age of Mystery detective Campion isn't particularly a homage towards Holmes (he's more an Affectionate Parody of Lord Peter Wimsey). | |

He is super intelligent, has senses that nobody else has (for instance: he is able to discover all kinds of absurdly detailed information about suspects from just looking at a cigarette stub) and much like Holmes he once died during a story, "De Gouden Patatten", but was revived by readers' support. In the color albums creator Marc Sleen also gave him a Sherlock Holmes hat at one point. | |

Forever: Henry often does Sherlock's trick of speaking or acting based on information not obvious to those around him. He can often tell what killed someone even before the autopsy. In the pilot, he greets a young woman on the subway in Russian and wishes her luck with her performance that night, all based on his observations sitting a couple of seats away. Word of God confirms if there had been a second season, there would have been an indication Henry helped inspire the literary character himself. | |
