The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Evil Ernie: The Resurrection mini-series was Ernie's first Chaos! Comics appearance in which he was again subjected to psychological experimentation. This time, Dr. Mary Young zapped him with a so-called Neurotech, which she claimed would purge his psychotic inclinations, making him a model citizen. Instead, it killed him, but gave him the power to re-animate corpses, including his own. From then on, he's not only been unkillable, he also commands an army of similarly undead minions. Somewhere along the way, his Smiley Face button came to life, to function as a combination advisor, cheerleader, and Greek chorus.
