Best Answer

Mycroft Holmes

In the books, he had an older brother called Mycroft Holmes who was said to be even smarter than Sherlock himself.

There was also a film called "The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes's Smarter Brother" where Gene Wilder played younger brother "Sigerson Holmes", the name "Sigerson" taken from the alias Sherlock used abroad after the events of "The Final Problem" and before "The Empty House" while he was playing dead.

He had one brother named Mycroft Holmes.

Why, that would be ol' Mycroft, smarter than Sherlock but insufferably lazy, preferring to hang out at the Diogenes Club rather than run around solving problems like his younger brother. Doctor Watson meets him in The Greek Interpreter, never having heard about him before.

Yes.

Both Sherlock and Mycroft contend that Mycroft was the more intelligent and more properly socialized brother while Sherlock was the better detective and less socially acceptable.

Did Sherlock Holmes have friends?

His brother, Mycroft. Sherlock Holmes had one brother. His name was Mycroft Holmes. He was smarter than Sherlock, but did not like moving around the way Sherlock always did. Sherlock Holmes's grandmother was the sister of the French painter, Vernet. Towards the beginning of 'The Adventure of the Norwood Builder' we find this passage: At the time of which I speak, Holmes had been back for some months, and I, at his request, had sold my practice and returned to share the old quarters in Baker Street. A young doctor, named Verner, had purchased my small Kensington practice, and given with astonishingly little demur the highest price that I ventured to ask - an incident which only explained itself some years later, when I found that Verner was a distant relation of Holmes', and that it was my friend who had really found the money.
