It's such a long list of adaptations bastardizing the character of Irene Adler. She is a woman who gets married to her beloved in the Sherlock Holmes story, and almost every adaptation since has tied to make her a villain or in love with Holmes or both. Godfrey Norton is pretty much forgotten.
However iirc Moriarty the Patriot plays about as fast and loose with the canon material as they do with the English language making word vomit for their J-Pop songs.
Destiny from X-Men is literally named Irene Adler. Mystique shapeshifted into Sherlock Holmes to be the face of things while Destiny simply used her precog powers to solve everything.
This is despite the fact "the real" Sherlock Holmes somehow still also existed.

Moriarty is the good guy, it doesn't get much more fast and loose than that.
If you want, I can add one more you'll wish you didn't know about.
Sigh Do it

Nobody expects /fur. But the way the internet is, they probably should.
