Battle Terrain
Detective Challenge: Murder at the dinner party

[Peypeypeypey]

I can't find a lot of feats for Daddy Big Bucks, but it doesn't look like this should be much of a challenge for the Question. Again, I find this scenario to be one of the better draws for the detective, and the Question (at least the original one) is one of the top tier choices for pure detective skills in this slot

Gotta agree with Peypeypeypey here. Question(s) is/are good when it comes to solving stuff on the fly, and a random event like a dinner party seems like a good place as any other.

Admittedly, Daddy B. comes from a universe and a world, in which the rules and logistics are off kilter in some ways, however, Daddy B. is the type of villain that tends to plan his nefarious deeds through legal loop holes and the like.

To achieve his goal, of making Miniopolis into his own personal amusement park, Daddy B. plans on buying up all of the properties in the city one by one, until he controls the city as a whole, he does so by bribing people and intimidating them to either sell their property(-ies) to him, or intimidating them via sending muscle built goons, lawyers, or in a very strong case, the ninja, Heidi Shadows, to kidnap and imprison them so that they can't interfere with his plans. In these his feats mostly consist of attempts to purchase historical properties, such as Olde Salty's family river boat, so that he could make it his own personal clothing closet, farfetched to say the least, attempts to buy up a water bumper car park, demolish it and put a dam in the river where it was, which would dry up the river as a result, but he planned this anyway, attempts to outlaw running in the city, which he achieved though bribery and manipulation of the city council, albeit fairly briefly, and his attempts to demolish and reconstruct Splicer Island for his own devices, in spite of the fact that said island was mostly used by scientist to conduct genetic experiments in gene splicing for scientific research, all of which were done through mostly legal loopholes and his user m.o. of bribery and intimidation, not so much impressive feats, as much as much as Daddy B. throwing his weight around in a similar style to the Kingpin.

His most impressive feat by far, and his most intelligent one in terms of brilliance, is his creation of a time machine, supposedly by himself, not enough information is provided on that, to go back into the past up to about the Civil War era, to plant a flag and sign a land deed in his name, that granted all of the properties and land that the city is on in the present, to him. The genius in that lies in two parts, 1) the practical nature of the crime and its resulting aftermath, as most people would find it hard to argue with a land grant to someone, written well over a century ago in the past, though that could be debated on, and 2) perhaps even more so than the first reason is based on the simple fact, that if he created the time machine, by himself, or even assisted in its creation scientifically, he would need to have at least some idea of quantum physics, mechanics, legal treatises, and history in order to pull something like that off. So by leaps and bounds the time machine scenario is one of his most impressive showings of his intelligence and cunning, based on all of that alone.
