Created by writer Brian Pulido and artist Steven Hughes, Evil Ernie is a psychopathic undead killer with one goal; wipe out all life on Earth.
Born Ernest Fairchild, Ernie was heavily beaten as a child by his mother and father. After undergoing several experimental psychiatric treatments, he gained the ability to communicate with the woman of his dreams, Lady Death, who encouraged him to wipe out all life on Earth, and imbued him with the necromantic abilities to do so.
