Plot
"I've had masked visitors before, but they came either to kill me or have sex with me. On one memorable occasion, both, but you are my first superhero." — Sherlock
|
At The Brownstone, as Watson leaves to run a charity clothing drive at the 11th Precinct, she finds the library filled with members of Everyone who donate the clothes they are wearing as payment for Sherlock getting them out of trouble with the NSA. At the precinct, as Detective Bell brings Watson some donated clothes, her friend Tammy gleefully tells her that Morland made a large donation to the charity which Watson is hesitant about. Outside a bakery, two workers wake the homeless sleeping on the sidewalk and discover a dead man wearing a superhero costume. At the Morgue, Bell notes that the unidentified man was a street vigilante and was wearing a Midnight Ranger costume with body armor. Hit by armor piercing bullets, Sherlock sees that the man's costume was professionally tailored and asks Bell to question tailors near the murder scene.

Having found that the creator of the Midnight Ranger, Superlative Comics, were not happy that the vigilante was dressed as their character and were trying to identify him, Sherlock and Watson head to their office. Watson knows all Superlative's characters since her brother was a fan and they meet editor Al Baxter and CEO Eddie Eichorn. Eichorn says that they foresaw that harm would come to the vigilante which they worried would damage a movie deal that is in the works. Indicating that the movie would see a reimagining of the Ranger into a darker, more violent character, they haven't been able to identify the vigilante but provide everything they've learned on him. Bell finds the tailor who made the vigilante's cape who tells Bell that crime went down in the neighborhood due to his efforts. Reluctantly, he provides the vigilante's name, which is the Ranger's real name.

Trivia
- As Holmes describes to Watson the five ways the Midnight Ranger has died in the comics, his personal favorite is "pushed over a waterfall, locked in the embrace of his nemesis." This is the same manner in which Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes "died" in The Final Problem.
- The company that delivers the Midnight Ranger comics to Holmes is "APD" (Axiom Parcel Delivery), the same delivery company whose truck was used to steal two pregnant zebras. ("The Female of the Species")
Quotes
I was bitten by a radioactive detective.
— Sherlock to Ben Garrett
I ask you, is there anything more quintessentially American than being gunned down in a place that you're meant to feel safe? Sometimes I think it should be on U.S. currency.
— Sherlock to Al Baxter
