How does Sherlock Holmes conform to the generic conventions of a superhero?
He doesn't. Sherlock Holmes has no superhuman abilities.Holmes used science to solve his crimes, modern day forensics. In a Victorian age, this would have been seen as a superhuman capability to solve crimes throw blood matching, chemistry and fingerprints. He did not have superhuman powers but had capabilities that did not conform to Victorian conventions of the police detectives of the time.
How many times did Sherlock Holmes appear in serious crimes?
Of the sixty stories, there are eight where no crime is committed. In my opinion, of the 52 remaining cases, these are the crimes ranked by frequency of the most serious crime: Murder (30), Theft (6), Attempted murder (4), Fraud (4), Abduction (3), Blackmail (2), Attempted robbery (1), Espionage (1), Treason (1). I hasten to add that in many of these cases the crimes would have escalated without Holmes' intervention. Of course, there are those un-chronicled cases; I believe Holmes says in 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' that there are some 500 cases of capital importance which he handled, and there are over 100 that Watson mentions with few details given.
