I...
Just found something I missed in my initial read of the old EE comics.
And it's kind of important.

Well, Ernie's possession doesn't work the way I initially thought it did.
The reason the specific people in the comics ended up being possessed was because they attempted to pick up Smiley from the ground. Ernie's consciousness apparently only finds its way into people when the button sticks them with its pin after (I'm guessing?) hypnotizing them into trying to pick it up.
It's basically the same as Jason possessing people by hypnotizing them into eating his heart. Except the "heart" in this case is capable of surviving Low 2-C destruction.
Anyway, this means I ****** up when I said he could maybe possess one of his undeads to restore himself in another thread. He can't actually do that.

In regards to the match, I do have a question though.
As far as the spatial attacks go, what are their mechanics, exactly? Can Hexus summon them with a thought, or does he need to do some sort of hand motion in order to do so? And do they have enough AoE to affect Ernie's entire body at once?

Well, it takes a fair bit longer (we're not given an exact timeframe) for Ernie to regenerate his entire body than it does for him to regenerate, say, some missing flesh or severed limbs. But once he does pick himself back up from that, he'll probably resort to mindhax right after, seeing as he isn't the kind of person to play games with people who wield those kinds of powers.
As far as what he starts off with, he's a lot more likely to use energy attacks in the beginning, which in this case are more likely to get him obliterated than anything else.

Well, seeing as the time needed for win via incap is 24 hours IIRC, I dunno. I say Ernie takes longer to regen his entire body, but on the occasion where he did that, he was still back up and running before the night was over.
Is Hexus's causality manip thought based as well?

Well, if that's the case, I think it's inconclusive then. Even if Ernie gets himself completely blown into vapor the first time around, he'll be back in shape in enough time to fight again, in which case it more or less comes down to which one of them can manage to hax the other first. (Isn't that always fun?)
