Powers and Abilities[]
Super Powers[]
- Muppet Physiology: As a Muppet, he wasn't...exactly...Human....not in the strictest sense at least. He had orange skin and a red nose on his face...still, he had didn't really have any real super powers as a result of being a Muppet...he just looked different.
Abilities[]
- Imagination: He was very creative. And he loved games and toys and anything associated with the concept of having fun. His favorite toy was a rubber duck, which he would take baths with. He also loved watching Batman on TV.
- Music: He enjoyed playing the saxophone, at least if he could "put down the duckie" long enough to do it.
- Dancing: He enjoyed dancing in the bathtub with his rubber duck. That sounded way worse than it should have.
Weaknesses[]
- Practical joker: Ernie's endless playfulness often times got him into trouble. He was very impulsive and often pulled practical jokes on Bert, and might have been considered a bit of a party animal compared to the much calmer and quieter Bert.
- Lack of Empathy: Ernie wasn't remotely empathetic toward Bert, and as such, he was often completely oblivious to the hints and verbal ques that Bert tried to throw his way to show him that he was beginning to get annoyed with him.
History[]
Earth-72169[]
At their apartment, Bert and Ernie were in an argument over what to watch on TV. Bert wanted to watch The Man from Alphabet and Ernie wanted to watch Batman. After the argument persisted for a little while, Batman finally interrupted them, speaking to them through the TV screen and asking them who they watched yesterday. They both admitted that it was Batman, and so Batman told them they might as well take turns...telling Ernie that it's only fair to watch The Man from Alphabet today, and they can both watch Batman tomorrow. Ernie immediately changes the channel on the TV.[1]
