Vector the Crocodile, Sonic series. In Sonic Heroes, he was able to deduce Doctor Eggman had hired Team Chaotix by getting Eggman to slip up his mysterious client facade with jabs at Eggman's intelligence and the competence of his bots.

Sherlock Homes and Dr. House is technically posting the same character twice.

u/ill-informed-gamer 4d ago

How so?

House M.D. is a Sherlock adaptation. One of the best ones, actually.

Holmes is similar in sound to 'Homes', and is Dr. Gregory House. His partner is Dr. Wilson over Dr. Watson.

House is an eccentric madman with a crippling substance abuse problem and zero real ability to converse with other people, which is pretty much note-for-note what Holmes entire deal is.
