I have had a suspicion the mystery power is Alcohol Muscles. Is this suspicion correct?  You're getting close. But I already denied alcohol as a factor. Alcohol Muscles was actually the power I had in mind when I originally wrote the riddle. But I figured that one would be to easy, since the situation takes place in a bar.

So, is it something to do with strength or muscles?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Did his size have something to do with it?

[WonderDrow]

How many women have you seen lifting up a heavy guy and throw the sucker in the air?

Ok, maybe there are some exceptions who could.


It was just a hint to help consider super strength.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

So super-strength is a side-effect.

Something to do with Berserker Rage?

Something to do with Berserker Rage? It's not Beserker Rage but the power can make you go in berserker rage.

Is adrenaline a factor?
Does the user need to consume something to use this power?
Is it important that the power user is a woman?
Can the power user perform any feat associated with super-strength?
Is the difference in strength a factor?
Is it part of a series?

Sugar Rush?

Good guess!

Correct!  Dionne had served herself a sweet Daiquiri cocktail that first evening.  
Not enough to make her go berserk, but sufficient to let the guy become airborn.

Is it just me or do other people imagine Vespert's voice having a very calm, sophisticated tone to it, at least when asking these kinds of questions?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Well, I imagine him speaking in a calm French accent, probably deep.

In America, women would be drooling all over him.

[Vespert]

Great!

My turn, now. Hopefully, this one's not too hard.

"The FBI is investigating a triple case of theft, murder and attempted bank robbery. Each case occurred in the U.S. during a single week. And every evidence points to a single man, named Terry.

"In the first case, in Colorado, a woman's handbag was stolen in a snatch-and-run. Some people tried to catch the thief, but they lost him. Three lit cigarettes were found on the scene. Whether or not they belonged to the thief is unsure, but two of the cigarette butts contained Terry's saliva.

"In the second case, which happened in New York three days after the theft, a burnt corpse was found in an alley. The police couldn't identify it based on the dental records. However, they easily identified a suspect as a message was found in the vicinity. The message was shaky and written in blood, and spelled something like "Taeda" and "Tsyk". After analysis, the blood was found to belong to Terry.

"In the final case, two days after the corpse was found, someone broke into a bank in Utah, assaulted the security guard and made their way to the vault. No traces of effraction were found and it seems they failed to take any money. The evidence in this case was the fingerprints. They belonged to Terry and were nearly everywhere in the vault room: the vault door, the walls, the floor, the windows and the bars.

"So, in the end, it seems they found the perfect culprit. The problem is Terry has a perfect alibi. He lives in England, never travelled to the U.S., and during the whole week the three events took place, he was seen at a summer camp. Not to mention, he quit smoking two years ago and never relapsed.

"Nevertheless, the FBI issued an international warrant, arrested him and deported him to the U.S. A friend of his tried to defend him, but, after a two-day trial, he was sentenced to twenty years without parole."

Curse my dirty thoughts...

But, anywho, the power in question is obviously magical, or demonic in nature, no?

Yes, I'd say it's magical.

[WonderDrow]

Is the culprit in Colorado & New York & Utah the same person?

Is"Holmes" the last name of the guy in Colorado?

Can the power copy someone's fingerprints?

Was Terry split in 2 or more persons?

Is teleporting a part of the power?

Can the power create portals?

Is Terry guilty of the crimes?

Do you have ice cream?

[WonderDrow]

Does the word "Adeat" have any relevance in the power?

Can the power make books appear?

Did the culprit kiss Terry on the lips before his evil deeds?
