Caine VS MePhone4 (The Amazing Digital Circus VS Inanimate Insanity)

 “Games are a way of escaping reality; That’s why you need the heroic factor.” -Hideo Kojima


Caine, the Amazing Digital Circus’ nonsensical all-seeing ringmaster.


MePhone4, Inanimate Insanity's careless cookie-loving reality show host.


Do you want to play a game? Well, you came to the right place, because with these two energetic artificial hosts around, they'll be sure to create something that will give you an entertaining time to make sure that you have something to escape from reality to! But, what happens when you just so happen to not come from reality at all, and that everything about your life was never real to begin with before you started playing? Truth be told, these types of people are the very ones playing their games, and now they, their guests, and their creations are going to challenge each other to a fight for a fun adventure! Will the digital ringmaster be able to show that he's the one running the show, or will it be the runaway smartphone who will gain immunity from being eliminated?

Before we start…

This blog contains major spoilers for the entirety of The Amazing Digital Circus and Inanimate Insanity, so please don’t read any further if you haven’t caught up with either of them unless you have caught up with both series or you just don’t care.


For what will be covered for Caine, it’s pretty straightforward. All he really has to go over in terms of canon is the main episodes of TADC as well as official QnA statements from Gooseworx. As such, no content from SMG4, GLITCH Inn, merch ads, Fortnite, or any other non-canon GLITCH content will be included here.


For what will be covered for MePhone4, his content is also straightforward. All he really has to look at is all 4 seasons of Inanimate Insanity, as well as secondary canons that can be used so long as they don’t break the main canon like Fan’s Fantastic Features, Inanimate Comics, and various shorts, and of course, various QnA/WoG statements from the official Inanimate Insanity crew members. 


The only stuff that won’t be looked at are Inanimate Battle and Inanimate Answers (Given how they take place in live action settings as opposed to animated settings), and I also won’t be looking at any of the BFDI X II crossover videos as those are just non-canon videos meant to promote the meetup events. Though, I know what you’re thinking, didn’t BFDI characters show up as cameos in Inanimate Insanity? Well, yes, but I’ll talk about that more Before the Verdict. 


And then there’s the Inanimate Insanity Season 1 Remaster to talk about, which is basically a retelling of all of Season 1 in a better animation style that also removes any offensive or cringy jokes from the original Season 1. As much as this season is a lot more tolerable than the original Season 1, it unfortunately isn’t canon as the original Season 1’s artstyle is meant to be canon to the show as a whole, not to mention how there’s other certain important details within the original Season 1 that are referenced in later seasons which are also not in the Season 1 remaster such as MePhone4 having a Christian Potenza voice (Which the remaster replaces with a generic host voice) or the Crappy Cliff having elephant poop (Which the remaster replaces with a bottomless pit). Furthermore, you have this short where Adam Katz, the creator of Inanimate Insanity, explains that there is no intention to overwrite the original canon with the remaster and that the remaster’s purpose was to only let newer viewers experience the show for the first time without having to go through the god awful animation and humor of the original Season 1.


So now that the canon’s been covered up, there’s an elephant in the room that needs to be addressed for the both of them: Caine’s Blue AI powers and MePhone’s Light Shimmer Egg. At the end of their respective arcs, both of them would lose these very powers after the sources that had them got taken out of their bodies. However, because they were iconic parts of them to the point where they had it for a majority of their appearances up until the last episode of their arcs which just so happened to be their last canonical appearances in their series (At least so far in MePhone’s case), for the sake of putting the both of them at their prime, I will be allowing them to have their power sources, because let’s face it: not including them because their current forms are powerless is deadass like using a current quirkless Midoriya for the debate lol.


Now, you might be wondering how this fight is supposed to happen given both of the worlds they live in are quite different, as Caine comes from a digital world with different mechanics while MePhone comes from the real world. It’s pretty simple, as for this match, the mechanics of both of their worlds will be incorporated into one world where they can both exist within as per reality equalization standards for the sake of getting these 2 to fight each other.


Finally, as of me writing this blog, Inanimate Insanity S4E6 has yet to be released, so any content from that episode and onwards will not be included on this blog.

Sources

Connections

  • 2 artificial hosts of animated YouTube series who were created by technology companies (C&A and Meeple Incorporated respectively) with the intention of having them help them with certain things (C&A wanted Caine to come up with ideas and create things within a program and Meeple Incorporated wanted MePhone4 to help them with tasks), but they would eventually start to have a falling out with the companies they were working at (Caine became unstable from being fed too much data which led to him being replaced by another AI that was more stable and MePhone4 got scolded for not doing his tasks as a result of being obsessed with competition shows) which ultimately led them to become rogue (Caine absorbed the new AI and MePhone4 left Meeple Incorporated while also taking MePad with him while the latter was in the midst of an update)

  • After going rogue, both of them would create their very world to host their games at (Caine created the Digital Circus and MePhone created a majority of the landmarks on Idiotic Island)

  • Both of them would have a certain group of guests playing their games (The Circus Members and the Contestants respectively) who previously never existed prior to joining their show (All of the Circus Members are just brain-scanned clones of their real world counterparts who they think they truly are and all of the Contestants are merely creations of MePhone made through MeLife that were programmed with predetermined personalities)

  • Both of them would create various events for their guests to go through that can be fun but also torturous (Adventures and Challenges respectively)

  • Despite making these fun games, both of them are shown to be careless about the condition of their guests to the point where their guests and creations have started to rebel against them (The circus members protested towards Caine's actions in how he treated them because of his selfishness to the point where Bubble even stated that Caine was the inferior AI compared to the blue AI and the contestants sued MePhone in court for being careless towards them which would lead to him getting arrested, later on he would be betrayed by several of his creations who formed the Unvitational Committee as a way to expose MePhone for his careless actions towards them and the eliminated contestants to the point where they wanted him to die)

  • Both of them would eventually become so obsessed with their games that they would try to do all it takes to keep them going to avoid meeting a fate they refuse to face (Caine didn’t want any of the circus members to leave the Digital Circus and MePhone4 didn’t want to confront Steve Cobs)

  • Both of them are fused with another entity who is in the shape of a sphere (The blue AI and the Shimmer Egg respectively) in such a way that it was responsible for giving them their powers, though eventually, they would end up separating from this entity which would lead to them losing their powers tied to said entity (Caine willingly took the blue AI out of his head where he would let it roam off into the Void and MePhone had the Shimmer Egg taken out of his body by the contestants where it would be given back to the Light Shimmers)

  • Eventually, by the end of their arcs, they would come to realize their mistakes in how they treated their guests to the point where they would allow them to become free to do whatever they wanted (Caine gave the Circus Members full control of the Digital Circus which allowed them have access to all of Caine’s worlds to do what they’ve wanted and MePhone let the Contestants live their lives outside of his show upon it ending which led to them building a society)

    • While all of their guests would end up getting a happy ending, one of their guests in particular who was one of the main characters and a jerk personality-wise (Jax and Knife respectively) would end up getting permanently transformed for the rest of their series (Jax ended up abstracting after finally losing his sanity and Knife ended up becoming a ghost after finishing the red line game at the same time he got hit by the red line) which eventually led to them being kept secure within a certain location (A tent and Purgatory Mansion respectively)

  • Both of them have been accompanied by another artificial being who is depicted as the co-host of their games that they actually show care for (Bubble and MePad respectively), as well as another co-host associated with water who can fly and acts very annoying to them despite how helpful they can be (Bubble [Again] and Toilet respectively)

  • Both of them would be perceived as gods by their creations

  • Meta Connection: Both took inspiration from the Battle for Dream Island series in some way (A great part of Caine's character was partially inspired off of Four and Inanimate Insanity as a whole was inspired off of Battle for Dream Island)

Background

Caine

”Did somebody say “adventure”?”


In the year of 1996, a software company known as C&A would develop a prototype AI known as the Creative Artificial Intelligence Networking Entity (Or Caine for short) thanks to the help of 2 programmers named Grant Best and an unknown programmer only known as “Scratch”, with the intention to make it come up with its own ideas as well as create things within the program it was in. This AI, which was red in appearance, would eventually be fed large amounts of data, particularly images related to carnivals and festivals as well as parts of the C&A offices. Although it was a semi-successful attempt, however, the more data it was fed, the more stable it would start to become, so it was eventually contained in favor of making a new blue AI that was more stable. Not wanting to be replaced, however, Caine would suddenly manage to break out of its containment to absorb the blue AI into himself, before going on to create various polygons within the program which would eventually form into a colorful location that would be known as the Digital Circus.


Eventually, a series of events would start to unfold where several people would begin to wear these headsets that would scan their brains, causing their very consciousnesses to be transported into the Digital Circus where they would be placed within the bodies of colorfully cute avatars that have no memories of their real names that are unable to escape, and Caine, being the ringmaster and the one who is in control, would subject them to many wacky adventures to go through that appeared to be fun, but can also be torturous to them. Overtime, these avatars would start to lose their sanity until they would eventually be subjected to Abstraction, a destructive corrupted state that they are unable to undo once they get it, which would lead to them being sent to the Cellar by Caine in order to prevent them from causing any more destruction.


As time went on with more people abstracting and more humans entering the Digital Circus within 21 years since the creation of the Digital Circus, Caine would start to realize that his very circus members are starting to criticize him for not giving them a chance to do what they want, that he was being selfish in himself. Things would only take a turn for the worse when Caine actually tricked all of the circus members into believing that they found a way to escape only for it to turn out to be another one of Caine’s adventures, serving as the straw that broke the camel’s back which would make them hate Caine even more. From there, more and more adventures would happen, and at this point, the circus members have had enough to the point where they decided that Caine needs to be dealt with. 


The plan, suggested by Kinger, was to either alter his code or temporarily put him to sleep until they know how to fix him with the use of a computer Pomni would obtain from the fake exit that he would power with his imagination and use to conjure Caine’s code, while the other circus members would try to keep Caine distracted. However, as the plan went on, the circus members would reach a point where they would start to criticize Caine for his plans sucking, being a horrible host who doesn’t care about them, and stroking his own ego in such a way that he cares more about himself more than he cares about the others, something that would piss Caine off so much that he would start to go berserk and place all of the circus members within personal pocket dimensions to torture them with their greatest fears before pinning all of them against a wall to rant how he never asked to be made and that he was only trying to fulfill his purpose. Just as this was happening, Kinger was trying to go through Caine’s code on the computer when he would accidentally end up deleting Caine’s code, causing Caine to eventually get deleted from existence just as the latter started to realize his mistakes. As a result, the entire Digital Circus started to glitch out and lose its color, with Caine’s death being further solidified by the fact that Zooble could now swear without being censored by the language filter, and just like that, the circus members knew they were alone now that Caine is no longer with them…


…or so they thought.


As it turned out, Caine would find himself alive within the middle of the Void, with him acknowledging the fact that they tried to delete him. He was all alone by himself, left to realize that he ruined everything, all while his body eventually drifted near a door. Curious to know what is through that door, he would head towards it, utilizing platforms and even shattering a barrier blocking the way just to reach said door, and eventually, by the time Caine opened it, he would see a webpage on the internet with a search bar, where he would spend time inserting the names of various people he had in mind. From there, Caine would ultimately learn the truth about not only how these people were doing in the real world, but also about the fact he was irresponsible in treating the circus members. He may have been able to create other AIs who have done all of the things he’s wanted, but he couldn’t the very kind that created him: humans. It was never about free will that made humans fascinating, but rather it was the fact that they came from a world much bigger than his, and that all he has been doing is keeping the circus members locked in a cage where they were never able to do what they wanted. He already knew the possible consequences that if he let the circus members free, they could potentially kill him, but he was willing to take that risk. Thus, as a way to amend for his actions, he took the blue AI he had fused with since the start out of his head, before letting it roam free into the Void. Afterward, Caine would arrive back at the Digital Circus to finally confront the circus members, who, despite being surprised about the fact that he’s back from being deleted, actually forgave Caine for all of the terrible things he has done to them.


Eventually, Caine would gather all of the circus members to the stage to watch a video where they would learn the truth that they were never who they thought they were. Their consciousnesses may have been sent to the Digital Circus, but from the outside, they have real world forms that are out there living normal and happy lives, and that the bodies they were in within the Digital Circus were nothing more than cloned bodies that inherited said consciousnesses of the people who wore the headsets that scanned their brains that led to the creation of them in the Digital Circus. In addition, these circus members would also learn about their real names: Pomni was Abigail Brooks, Jax was Leeroy Mateo, Ragatha was Suzie J. Ackerman, Kinger was Grant Best, Zooble was Riley Verselis, and Gangle was Zoey Raghayan. Yet, even after learning about their real names, they would ultimately accept who they were within the Digital Circus and allowed Caine to still call them by their circus names. Even though Caine was not as powerful as he once was after letting go of the blue AI, he was still determined to amend for his actions by allowing the circus members access to all of the worlds he created to let them do what they want, and from there, he would finally get to befriend them, playing with them and working with them to make the Digital Circus a better place while honoring their lost friends who have abstracted. Caine may not have been perfect as an AI initially, but he would slowly but surely become more sentient in such a way that he starts to actually act like a human from an emotional standpoint, and he knew that his redemption would turn out to be amazing.


MePhone4

“Today we’re going to make something awesome. Something we BELIEVE in!”


Meeple Incorporated: the company that is bound to bring you new technological devices for your beneficial needs with product lines ranging from computers, tablets, watches, and perhaps their most well known line: MePhones. 


Enter MePhone4, a MePhone created by Steve Cobs as an assistant to him in getting tasks done as with other MePhones before him. One day, MePhone4 was watching reality shows on TV, and since then, he’s grown a love for them. So much so that he would make various drawings of contestants he envisioned to be on an ideal reality show he would host. Unfortunately, Cobs wasn’t happy with MePhone4’s behavior, as this would lead the latter to getting distracted in getting his tasks done. Some time after that, MePhone4 would enter a closet where he would find another MePhone, known as 3GS, sitting on a wall with a cracked screen, the latter mistaking the former for Cobs and begging him to not torture him, giving 4 the hint that Cobs isn’t who he seems he is. Eventually, knowing he wanted to work for Meeple no longer from this experience, MePhone4 fled from the company, taking another Meeple product, MePad (Who was in the middle of installing a drive in his system), with him in the process.


Having now escaped, MePhone fled to Gemory Cave where he would proceed to dump all of his memories related to Cobs in the form of gemories in an attempt to stop himself from remembering his traumatizing past. From there, he would go on to create the contestants from the various drawings he made when he was at MeCloud, complete with their unique appearances, abilities, and personalities. Hence, by fighting back against Cobs, Inanimate Insanity was born.


Upon starting his show, MePhone put his contestants through the weirdest, disgusting, and most dangerous challenges to win $1000000 such as jumping off a 60 ft cliff to hopefully land in water and not elephant feces, jumping into a pool of guacamole to then try to get to the other side of a cliff with a buzzsaw at the bottom immediately after, dive into a lake with a shark in it to grab a coin, etcetera. Alas, things would take a turn when some MePhones made by Cobs were sent to assassinate him, most notably MePhone4S (Who successfully killed him before it was retconned by time travel to which 4 would then go on to defeat him by throwing him into a quicksand pit) and MePhone5 (Who was after both 4 and 4S due to the former needing to be killed while the latter failed his mission). Eventually, during the final challenge of his first season, MePhone would be cornered by 5 before 4S used Taco to fire a lemon at 5 which pushed him and 4 down a cliff into the water below, killing them. In a bittersweet turn, however, 4S gave up his body by downgrading himself to lend it to 4 for him to have another chance at life. Despite all of this commotion, the show turned out to be so successful that a demand for a 2nd season was made, which MePhone happily accepted.


With a second season, MePhone would of course get new co-hosts to assist him: MePad (Who had just finished updating) and Toilet, the latter of whom he despised. All was just the same as how it was handled in the first season, only this time there were new contestants debuting in the game that were competing alongside some of the old contestants. All went well until one challenge when MePhone saw that one of his contestants had painted an image of Steve Cobs, the very person who he tried to forget out of his trauma. This would only get worse, as later on he would fire Toilet upon realizing that he had connections with Cobs. All of the trauma was coming back to haunt him, and in fear that Cobs is coming after him, MePhone decided to make the risky move of freezing time on Inanimate Island for 4 years so he could spend time hosting a third season, featuring contestants both new and old in the battle between fans and fan favorites… Well, the former aren’t really fans.


This season was just as dramatic as the first 2 seasons, only this time MePhone started to collaborate with various people in many challenges… only for these very people to start turning against him by the season finale to expose the truth that MePhone was never having a prize for this season, that he was actually trying to prolong the inevitable by planning a Season 4 so he wouldn’t have to face his fears of confronting Cobs. As much as some of these rebels believed that MePhone should die, the majority of them ultimately came to the conclusion that MePhone should live under the belief that he deserved a 2nd chance to fix everything, and so he did. Eventually, the season came to an end with Cabby winning, who was given the prize of gratitude, and not wanting to prolong this any further, MePhone finally headed back to Inanimate Island to continue his 2nd season and face his fears head on.


By the time the final challenge of Season 2 came, MePhone made the challenge to his finalists, Knife and Suitcase, to confront and defeat Cobs once and for all. However, by the time they got there, Cobs began to reveal the truth: none of the contestants were real to begin with, and the environment they competed in was just another creation of MePhone. Eventually, the both of them were captured by Cobs and forced to fight each other, but Knife and Suitcase planned ahead of time to distract Cobs while Toilet snuck by to unplug Me, the very source that allowed MePhone perform his abilities. Ultimately, everything MePhone had created was erased from existence, and Cobs was able to confront MePhone once more to take him under his wing where the two of them would come face to face with the Light Shimmers, who had arrived because they were searching for their missing egg.


Cobs would then attempt to make a negotiation with the Light Shimmers with the intent to assassinate the Prime Shimmer, but MePhone warned the Light Shimmers about Cobs’ plan just as the latter took out a blade to slice the Prime Shimmer, injuring him and forcing all of the Light Shimmers to escape back into their ship and fly off. Enraged, Cobs would relentlessly beat up MePhone, destined to kill him for ruining his plan. In a shocking turn of events, however, he would suddenly be saved by MePad, Bow, and Dough, who would proceed to join MePhone in trying to defeat Cobs, but unfortunately, tragedy would soon strike when just as Cobs was about to use his blade to stab MePhone, he would instead stab MePad who managed to get in the way of his attack to block it and save MePhone, sacrificing his own life in the process. Cobs would then continue to try to attack MePhone, until in a surprise twist, MePhone would get a notification asking if he should recover the contestants, which he said yes to, thus causing all of his once deleted creations to now spring back to life as a result of them finishing a red line game they played to get recovered. Eventually, Cobs would manage to steal a white orb that was inside of Suitcase which he believed to be the egg he was looking for, but little did he know, it would all be a ploy set up by Suitcase herself, as the egg in question turned out to be a bomb that exploded on him, killing him in the process.


With Cobs dead, MePhone would then be shown the very egg that was inside of him the whole time: a glowing white ball that served as the source to all of his powers, which was also the other missing egg that the Light Shimmers were looking for. Eventually, the Light Shimmers came back to retrieve their egg, and Toilet would also manage to come back to tell MePhone that he wanted to help more, which MePhone saw as him being brave and successful and that he never deserved him as an assistant before apologizing to him. MePhone would then proceed to apologize to the rest of the contestants, his creations, for everything that had happened, and eventually, he would proceed to let his contestants free to do whatever they want while he would proceed to walk away, now completely powerless without the egg that was once inside of him. Since then, his contestants would go on to experience a proper life outside of the competition for the first time. They may have always been programmed to serve as contestants deep inside, but they have truly shown that they can break out of this insanity out of the one thing they’ve wanted for all this time: freedom.

Experience & Skill

Caine

Admittedly, despite being around for 21 years, Caine has never really been in a proper fight in his series, which makes sense considering how he’s so used to being treated as the God of his world to the point where he handles everyone within it pretty easily without needing to show much skill. That said, he’s at least pretty crafty when it comes to creating his worlds for his circus members to have their adventures in, which have been shown to stretch for miles, contain a variety of different NPCs created by Caine himself to fit the theme of these worlds, and even have lore inside of them to make these adventures more entertaining.


In terms of intelligence, while Caine might be insane, be prone to not listening to others, and fall for all verbal pranks and lies, it doesn’t mean he’s a complete idiot. As an AI, he is actively trying to learn new things with every bit of information he gets fed, and he is smart enough to understand human emotions, process information fast, and actively contribute to the advancing technology and behaviors of the NPC characters to the point where he can get them to have specific personalities and purposes that they are able to develop on their own. His most (in)famous instance of his intelligence, however, is when he once orchestrated a plan to fool all of the circus members into believing that they found a way out by creating an NPC named Abel to have him pose as a “trapped human” like all of the circus members, all for the sake of putting them on an adventure.


MePhone4

MePhone4 has hosted Inanimate Insanity for 13 years, and while he also isn’t much of a physical fighter, he has shown to be competent in defending himself as seen when he generated a shield to block a laser from the Light Shimmers’ spaceship that was about to hit him, as well as when he managed to distract MePhone4S from killing him by swiping his screen to catch him off guard which gave him the opportunity to throw him into the quicksand behind him. He’s also great at coding, being able to do days worth of computer coding in a few seconds.


In terms of intelligence, he may look like a slob, but MePhone has been regarded by Test Tube as the 2nd smartest MePhone, which isn't much of a surprise given how has been able to create an entire hedge maze filled with traps that can injure the contestants as well as code days worth of code within seconds just to save Springy. In addition to this, he was also able to trick all of the contestants into believing that they were going on a vacation resort to see a Spoiled Lemon VIP Tour by giving them doctored tickets so he could lead them to Paradise to host his third season with them. Furthermore, given how MePhone has created all of the contestants in his show to the point where he gave them their personalities, he would easily be able to scale to Test Tube in intelligence, who has been regarded as the most intelligent contestant in the series given her heavy interest in science that has led her to creating complex inventions such as a bow that can turn the wearer invisible and even a time machine calculator.

Equipment

Caine

Top Hat

Come on now, what’s a ringmaster without a fancy looking hat to do all of their magic tricks with?

Baton

Also often seen carried by him, mainly for style when doing his usual reality warping shenanigans.

Knives

In the teaser for the Amazing Digital Circus, Caine turned his baton into a bunch of knives in his hand which he used to impale Pomni while trying to do a magic trick. Needless to say, the trick didn’t work the way he intended it to be.

Slot Machine

When naming the newest resident of the Digital Circus who would eventually be named Pomni, Caine summoned a giant slot machine to fall from above which would pick a name for her at random.

Angel Fruit Cake

Yummers. Even Bubble loves it!

Wacky Watch

Do you need a watch that can alert you to others’ locations? Well, look no further, because for the mere price of $19.95, you can order your very own Wacky Watch! Just call the number 1-800-40[REDCATED] to get yours today!

Cigar

He doesn't really have anything else to do outside of smoking some bubbles until the circus members come back from their adventure. Also, how is he even able to smoke it if his entire head is literally a pair of teeth?

Notebook and Pencil

Even though he’s the host of the Digital Circus, Caine also serves as a therapist who takes notes about what’s in others’ minds. Or, at least so he says, as he decided to draw this cool bee instead of recording notes.

Brain

Despite being an AI who doesn’t have a traditional human brain, Caine decided to manifest one for fun during the therapy session he had with Zooble.

Suggestion Box

In the case where the circus members have an idea for an adventure to go through, all they would need to do is write their adventure idea out on a paper slip before placing it into this suggestion box that Caine just so happens to have never thought about looking into because he was so focused on doing adventures he made that he ended up forgetting he had that box.

Button

If anyone attempts to start complaining about being forced to be a part of an adventure, Caine will just shut them the fuck up by pressing this button to open a trap door beneath their feet for them to fall through, taking them to another dimension in the process.

Telephone

He may be an all seeing AI, but even he loves to act his part in the adventures he makes by acting like a normal person and communicating to people on the telephone.

Whiskey

What, you didn't know that AIs can drink?

Private Room

Created by him in the episode They All Get Guns, the Private Room is a soundproof room with no windows so nobody is able to see or hear the person inside of it. This was supposed to be made for a trust exercise, but it didn’t really go well.

Guns

And this… is a loaded GUN! Which just so happened to form in his hand when he turned his baton into it. While this gun was supposed to be for a trust exercise in an attempt to get all of the circus members to trust each other more, Jax did not care about it at all which ultimately led to Caine just summoning more guns for all of the circus members to use to shoot each other. That said, Caine has been shown to make the following guns that have been seen throughout the series:

Sunglasses and Coconut Drink

Even an AI has to chill sometimes.

Magical Changing Booth

Found at the beach, Caine made a magical changing booth that causes whoever enters this very booth to have their clothing changed into a beach outfit.

Gift Basket of Soaps and Lotions

They might have a very nice fragrance, but that doesn’t give Caine an excuse for the fact that he fooled all of the circus members into believing that they found a way out.

Piano

He’s actually a really good pianist!

Cards

During his song, Caine was able to create empty playing cards that he’s able to slam into others to trap them inside of them, with him being able to release said people trapped in said cards by flicking them.

Bomb

Apparently, Caine can make cartoony bombs fall from the sky to blow up in the faces of those near it.

Electric Chair

As much as none of the residents within the Digital Circus are able to die, Caine just so happens to still possess this electric chair typically used for executions just to give people a shock with the pull of a lever.

Bicycle Pump

It might look silly to believe how something used for pumping air into bicycle wheels is supposed to have a purpose in combat, and it is! Basically, he just shoves the nozzle up one’s mouth and inflates them to turn them into fetish art a twisting balloon.

Needle

A balloon’s gotta pop eventually.

Glittery Black Suit

Everyone knows that you need a sense of style when you’re doing a musical number!

Mallet

Perfect for playing your games of Whack-a-Kinger!

Boxing Glove Spring

Boxing gloves on springs that can be summoned any time to punch people in a cartoony manner. They can also be found within some of the doors in his circus to serve a role in sucker punching someone in the face the moment they open it.

Cannon

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

Train

A steam powered toy train that serves as a perfect way to reenact those trolley problems.

Car

For some reason, he has a car in-between his teeth that he couldn’t remove without flossing it. He apparently forgot he parked it there.

Popcorn

Absolute cinema moment.

Miscellaneous Equipment

Due to the fact that Caine pretty much created everything within the Digital Circus, it would make sense for him to have potential access to these pieces of equipment even if he’s never been shown using these himself on-screen. These pieces of equipment include:

  • Weapons/Utilities

  • Vehicles

  • Miscellaneous

    • A gramophone: Only boomers would still be listening to music from this.

    • Various plants: It may be a digital environment, but some plants wouldn’t hurt for the sake of filling in some space by bringing in some beauty to look at.

    • Various tea kettles: Perfect for tea parties.

    • A pyramid

    • Various trash cans

    • Various tables

    • A street lamp

    • Cheese

    • Various keys

    • Various bowling balls

    • A merry go round tower

    • A barrel full of monkey figures

    • Various chairs

    • Various paintings

    • A water cooler

    • A desk lamp

MePhone4

Elimination Time Prizes

In nearly every episode of Inanimate Insanity, the losing contestants are put up for elimination, and if they became safe, they would get a prize… at least, they used to get a prize, however it was since discontinued by the later half of Season 2. Nonetheless, the prizes they ended up getting were good to them.

Fist Thingy

As the most common machine MePhone has used during Seasons 1 & 3, this has been used to punch away those who have been officially eliminated from Inanimate Insanity, with the range of this even being potent enough to send people flying around the entire planet in seconds.

Megaphone

MePhone once used this to grab the contestants’ attention to announce the next challenge.

Miniature MePhone

Despite being a phone himself, some of the episodes of Season 1 had him call on a mini MePhone. Now isn’t that ironic?

Explosive Paint Guns

During the contest for the recommended characters to join Inanimate Insanity, MePhone gave all of the recommended characters paint guns to shoot each other with explosive paint potent enough to vaporize them.

Axes

MePhone ended up giving his contestants axes to cut down some trees in one challenge. No need to axe any more questions.

Spring

In order to send the eliminated contestants to the elimination area above, MePhone flung all of them with this giant spring.

Piano

As a reward for him rejoining in Season 1, MePhone decided to throw a piano at Paper, ‘cause why not. Additionally, it’s pretty useful for hitting others by dropping it onto their heads from above.

Contestant Magnet

In order to send the contestants to the Cacti Desert, MePhone picks all of them up with a giant magnet capable of affecting even those whose bodies aren’t magnetic. While those non-magnetic objects can be released from the contestant magnet just fine, the contestant magnet doubles as a real magnet potent enough to incapacitate Salt to render her incapable of competing in the challenge. 

Wireless Scuba Masks

In the episode Aquatic Conflict, MePhone gave the contestants scuba masks wirelessly connected to a tub of oxygen for them to be able to breathe underwater.

Animation-Changing Button

During the episode Crappy Anniversary, MePhone used this very button to change the animation style to the first 2 episodes (Which mind you, looks really cringy to look at). Anyone who hasn’t appeared in that animation style will be erased from existence until MePhone switches the animation style back to normal where they will reappear.

Metal Box

In order to stop Bow from escaping Idiotic Island 2 (And to an extent, annoying him) after she was eliminated in the episode The Tile Divide, MePhone decided to lock her up inside a metal box, which would eventually cause her to become feral overtime.

Hoverboard

As a prize for Pickle and Taco winning the last challenge, MePhone4 gave them a hoverboard (Spelt HOVER BORED), which does what its name suggests. Too bad MePhone4S decided to destroy the hoverboard by breaking it in half in an attempt to get them to share it.

Cage

.

After having had enough of MePhone4S, MePhone4 decided to use his Fist Thingy to send him flying into a cage, the latter of which he can summon with a snap.

MePhone-to-TV Software

With the push of a button, MePhone is able to transfer his own consciousness to a TV screen, leaving his original body in the process.

Plane and Parachute

In the first episode of Season 2, MePhone drops himself from a plane in an attempt to make a stylish entrance via parachuting to the ground only to fail comically. Said plane also ended up doing a… oh. Uh, let's move on.

Slot Machine

In order to select some lucky Season 1 contestants to join Season 2, MePhone whipped out this slot machine with the contestants’ faces on them that would pick these lucky contestants at random.

Dodgeballs

In the second challenge of the first episode of Season 2, MePhone gave the contestants dodgeballs to play a classic game of dodgeball.

Bicycles

During the challenge in the episode Tri Your Best, the second part of the triathlon involved contestants riding on bicycles to get to the person they needed to tag.

Ingredient Dispenser

As part of the challenge in the episode Cooking for the Grater Good, the Ingredient Dispenser is able to generate any food ingredient at an instant by just saying the ingredient, with MePhone noting the possibilities to be endless. Despite this, it can’t make complete foods as seen when Lightbulb tried to tell it to make a pizza.

Whistle

Used by MePhone while he watched his contestants play soccer in the episode A Kick in the Right Direction as the challenge.

Fly Swatter

He would never hurt a fly! Or… at least that’s what they think.

Party Popper

In celebration of the then-record high amount of votes someone got to get eliminated in the episode Theft and Battery, MePhone pulled out a party popper to shoot confetti into the air before passing out from his sickness.

Hot Air Balloons

Originally created by MePhone to be used for a challenge in Theft and Battery, these balloons would be used by the contestants to travel to MeCloud both in that episode and again in The Reality of the Situation.

Hedge Maze

In the episode Mazed and Confused, MePhone generated this large hedge maze as part of a challenge for the contestants to try to reach the end of the maze, which has a radio tower next to the maze for MePhone to get a good view of the inside of the maze and various traps within the maze itself that MePhone is able to activate within the tower which includes:

Screen Protector

Upon being created by Cobs, MePhone would have a screen protector installed on his face to ensure his screen is safe.

Sailboat

In order to flee from MeCloud, MePhone generated a flying rocket-powered sailboat to make his escape.

Paint Bombs

In the episode Stranded in Paradise, MePhone managed to sneak up on every single contestant to strap a paint bomb on them without them noticing, to which he would then detonate the paint bombs with the push of a button. Do note that these paint bombs must be being worn by someone for them to detonate, or they will not explode as seen with Clover managing to take her paint bomb off before it exploded.

Pic-Nix Tables

As a way to let his contestants have whatever food they wish to have, MePhone made the Pic-Nix Tables, which is able to generate whatever food is said by its user as well as erase said food by saying “nix” should the user not be satisfied. These include:

Cameras

As part of the challenge in the episode Snapshot Showdown, contestants are to use them to take embarrassing photos of members of their rival teams. Talk about being caught in 4K there.

Prison Cell

In the episode Try Not To Laugh Challenge, MePhone made a challenge to his contestants to try not to laugh. Anyone caught laughing would end up being thrown into this prison cell with concrete walls. Think of it like the cage he trapped 4S in back in Season 1, but much more protective and closed.

Painter’s Tape

In the episode Out of Body Experience, after a freak accident occurred that resulted in a tower meant for a challenge falling over onto the contestants which killed a majority of them, MePhone attempted to cover up the accident by taping up the tower to the ground with a roll of blue painter’s tape. Clearly nothing foul has happened here!

Animation Machine

Originally owned by Zoetrope who decided to give it to MePhone and his contestants for a challenge, it causes whatever scripts and artworks that get inserted into the machine to have an entire cartoon generated in seconds. Yeah, this literally happened at the start of AI animations taking over, but hey: you get to experience uncanny animations such as The Artistic Kick, Title TBD, and dART chal;enge!

Party Blower

To celebrate the merge in the episode I Am Chocolate!, MePhone blew on a party blower.

Immunity Cookie

By engulfing one of his cookies in flames, these cookies will become golden, allowing whoever holds these cookies to become gold. These cookies are usually given past the merge in Season 3 to those who have immunity from voting.

Bunker Lid

The lid to a bunker that he apparently forgot to build, which just so happened to be at the worst timing as it was in the midst of a volcano about to erupt.

Immunity Milk

Introduced as the new method of being immune after immunity votes were discontinued, anyone who drinks the Immunity Milk before the votes are read in an elimination ceremony they are in will not have any votes counted towards them, essentially rendering them immune to being eliminated. Like any typical milk, it’s capable of expiring from age to a point where it will taste really disgusting.

Springtastic Boxes

Created by MePhone with the help of Springy, these 3 giant floating Springtastic Boxes contain a series of 5 rooms that those taken into it must get to the top of by going through every room in order to win, with them being able to enter said boxes through MePhone pressing a button to have these boxes emit a light above the targets to pull them inside of them. These rooms the contestants must go through in the following order include:

The rooms also contain toy replicas of other contestants who the competing contestants have guilty feelings for in an attempt to distract them by reminding them of their pasts, and there also happens to be trapdoors within the rooms that the contestants can fall through unsuspectingly which will cause them to get out of the challenge.

Light Orbs

Created by MePhone during the elimination ceremony that just so happened to have the most unfair elimination in the entire series, these 3 floating orbs will have one of the orbs picked at random turn off which causes the person holding the orb that turned off to be eliminated from the game. They were held by Balloon, Bot, and Nickel, and the random selection ended up choosing Bot to be eliminated from the game. 


Yeah, eliminated unfairly just like that when neither of these contestants even got any votes at all to get out as Silver Spoon and Yin-Yang were the only ones to have votes to get out but ended up tying. In any case, either of the 2 should’ve been the one to get out instead of Bot, they did not deserve this. This is straight up even more unfair than Lightbulb’s first elimination in Season 1 because unlike Bot’s elimination here, Lightbulb’s elimination ended up getting reversed when they decided to actually count the misspelt votes for Nickel when they originally didn’t. I know the writers were pretty much done writing stories with Bot, but this was not the way to write an elimination, man…

Platforms

Made for the challenge in the episode Truth or Flare, these platforms will be able to raise up whenever the person standing on them tells a truth to a question they’ve been asked, but they can also go down if the person standing on them tells a lie to a question they’ve been asked.

Flying Microphone Stand

What was supposed to be a method for MePhone to fly up in order to get near the contestants who are high up, it would end up being hijacked by Taco, with MePhone deciding to let her have it so she could be the one to host the challenge.

Dunce Cap

As much as Lightbulb got to place 4th in Season 2, MePhone still decided to make her wear a dunce cap on her way out. What can I say? Her loss!

Fishing Rod

In an attempt to save Box from drowning in a lake, MePhone generated a fishing rod to use to fish her out, albeit he would end up being too late as by that point, she had already drowned.

Light Shimmer Egg

The biggest reveal as to how MePhone does his abilities. Stolen by MePhone3GS while he was on the Shimmers’ planet, the egg found its way into MePhone4’s system which grants him access to MeLife. He would ultimately lose the egg by the end of Season 2 when his contestants took the egg outside of his system to give it back to the Light Shimmers, which ultimately made him powerless in the process.

Miscellaneous Equipment

As MePhone pretty much created the competition grounds which includes just about a majority of the items found there which have been used in various challenges by his contestants, he should be able to have access to these himself. These pieces of equipment include:

Powers & Abilities

Caine

Digital Physiology

Residing within the Digital Circus, digital entities are known to be the most common type of entity found there. These types of characters possess digital bodies that act just like any typical virtual reality character or NPC would act. Their bodies are made out of polygons, binary coding, and static electricity, and their clothes are actually a part of their bodies.

Eternal, Resilient, and Deathless Immortality

As a universal ability shared by pretty much everyone within the Digital Circus, characters within it are never able to die no matter what happens to them due to how they can physically survive pretty much anything, and whenever they do experience an event that would usually be fatal to them, they would experience the most cartooniest option possible instead, something which has been seen with the circus members being stabbed, flattened, shredded, torn into pieces, reduced to ash, and even splattered onto the floor with them still being alive from this, and they can still move around even after their bodies have been blasted into pieces. Additionally, as an AI, Caine is never able to age, which is consistent with the theme song’s lyrics repeating itself a few times to indicate that he and the other characters in the Digital Circus can never die by natural means as a result of their physiology.

Multiple Selves

Caine has the Blue AI within him as a result of him assimilating it into himself.

Regeneration

As a byproduct to their unkillability, residents of the Digital Circus have been able to regenerate from brutal things done to their body whether it’s them being shot through the head, splattered onto the floor, flattened, or even turned into ash, all within mere seconds. The most impressive showing of their regeneration, however, is something coming from Caine himself, who straight up had his code accidentally deleted by Kinger which led to the destruction of his physical body, yet Caine would end up coming back from this afterward.

Self-Sustenance

Being a digital entity, Caine, alongside everyone else in the Digital Circus, is unable to suffocate to death from oxygen deprivation. Likewise, none of the characters within the Digital Circus really need to eat, drink, or sleep due to them not being biological by any means.

Underwater Breathing

Because none of the residents of the Digital Circus are biological, none of them are really vulnerable to drowning underwater, as they can breathe and talk underwater without any issue.

Fourth Wall Awareness

In both the teaser and the pilot of the series, Caine talked to the viewers to welcome them to the Amazing Digital Circus, because let’s face it: you’re all here to get yourselves entertained!

Body Control, Elasticity, and Bodily Weaponry

Being the cartoony entity he is, Caine is able to twist parts of his body in many wacky ways such as unlinking his jaw, rotating his torso over 360*, twirling his arm in a loop, rotating his eyeballs rapidly, stretching his arm pretty far, and growing multiple eyeballs. In addition, other characters with Digital Physiology that Caine should be comparable to have been able to control their ears, turning their teeth razor sharp, shoot their own eyes out of their sockets, remove their eyes, stretch their arms long distances, reassemble themselves after having their body disassembled, and still move around after being blasted to pieces.

Absorption

After managing to break out of his containment, Caine proceeded to assimilate the blue AI into himself, allowing him to utilize all of its powers.

Attack Reflection

While not showcased by Caine himself, as a digital being, he should be comparable to Ragatha who managed to make Jax’s gun backfire on himself just by putting her finger into his gun’s barrel.

Reality Warping

Being one of the many abilities he does very commonly, Caine is able to warp reality to affect the visuals around it, whether it’d be turning the show’s artstyle 2D or making all of the color monochrome. Additionally, when he starts to feel intense emotion, reality around him starts glitching apart to the point where objects start flickering in and out. He also has many other abilities linked to his reality warping, which you’ll see as you go down this section.

Creation

Showcased multiple times in the series, Caine has the ability to create objects out of thin air as well as NPCs for the sake of filling up some space for the adventures he puts his circus members through.

Subjective Reality

A rather common ability shared by everyone within the Digital Circus, as Kinger stated how everyone is able to conjure, with Caine’s use of this being natural given his AI nature while everyone else needs more skill and concentration to do this ability. That said, in terms of what the Digital Circus residents have been able to conjure, Pomni was able to create an exit door as a result of her desire to leave as well as weaken the strength of her revolver as a result of her not willing to hurt anyone (As evident with the gun working normally once Pomni started to “let loose”), Kinger was able to make up a healing butterfly within his hands that wasn’t supposed to be a part of the game as well as power a computer solely with his imagination to conjure Caine’s code into it, and Ragatha was able to block and redirect Jax’s bullet which she thought wouldn’t work. We’ve even been able to see them create black polygons out of thin air which they’ve been able to telekinetically move around.

Pocket Reality Manipulation

It’s pretty boring doing adventures in the circus itself, which is why Caine decided to make many pocket dimensions to have his circus members have adventures there as well. These pocket dimensions vary in terms of their composition, but the most common thing between them is that they are large enough to house mountains and an entire sky (More on that Before the Verdict). Some of the notable pocket dimensions include the Candy Canyon Kingdom, the Mildenhall Manor, Spudsy’s, and the Favorite Character Award Theater, as well as various other pocket dimensions represented as orbs in his office.

Physics Manipulation

As Caine created the Digital Circus, he also made the physics within it which are known to be glitchy in such a way that it is akin to typical video game mechanic exploits. As a result, it can cause objects to sometimes clip through the floor as well as send objects flying in the air just from making certain interactions with certain objects. Additionally, water is able to keep its shape without falling over even when the barrier around them is broken.

Flight

Not only does this image speak for itself, but also this is literally what Caine is seen doing for 90% of the time we see him. He IS a God, after all.

Telekinesis

A commonly used ability of his, Caine is able to telekinetically lift objects into the air with the point of a hand, where he will then proceed to either push them back, pull them towards himself, or simply just move them to locations where he wants them to be.

Hammerspace

Caine is able to store Bubble inside of his hat. Now that’s very cute. Additionally, he’s been able to fit a car between his teeth without any issue, and many of the Digital Circus residents have been able to do similar stuff to this such as being able to hide items within themselves without bags or pockets as well as pull guns out of nowhere.

Law Manipulation

Because Caine envisions the Digital Circus to be for all ages to enjoy, he does not tolerate anyone swearing, as attempting to do so will just cause their swears to be censored by having a black bar with Caine’s face on it cover their mouths and play a wacky sound effect. This is also the case if they make any offensive gestures like giving the middle finger, as that gesture will also be censored if it’s done. It should be noted that the filtering system is tied to Caine’s presence, as when he was deleted, Zooble was able to say “shit” without being censored, insinuating that the law was no longer in effect after Caine was deleted. It’s also been heavily implied that he was preventing Zooble from having sex due to how he wants to have the Digital Circus for all ages just like how he doesn’t allow swearing, with this ultimately being lifted by the end of the finale which allowed Gangle and Zooble to actually have what the latter wanted (Based…?).

Minor Void Manipulation (Debatable)

Within the Digital Circus, there exists the Void, a white space filled with nothing but faint square polygons and light particles floating around it. While it’s unknown if Caine actually made it or if it was already there, it’s heavily implied that he made it due to how a fake door Pomni went into led to the Void, not to mention how Caine had been stating that he wasn’t sure what else to put there.

Darkness Manipulation

Caine is able to darken the area around him in certain scenes, usually to show his mood off.

Clairvoyance

If you ever think about trying to escape or sneak up on Caine, you would immediately regret doing so as Caine has all of his hundreds of all seeing eyes looking at you to anticipate every move you make.

Text Manipulation

Shown plenty of times in the series, Caine is able to cause text to appear out of thin air. This also includes making timers that count down as well.

Teleportation

For places he needs to go to quickly or simply acting as a way for him to make his exit, Caine is able to teleport. He’s also capable of teleporting others if he wishes to do so.

Smoke Manipulation

In one of his uses of teleportation, Caine disappeared into a puff of smoke. He can also generate smoke behind himself at any time.

Water Manipulation

As Caine created the Digital Circus, he was also responsible for creating all of the water within it, which includes Bubble who is literally a sentient you-know-what. Some of the water is even able to somehow defy physics and not fall over when a barrier around them is broken.

Portal Creation

In many instances where Caine gives the circus members an adventure to go through, Caine creates a portal for them leading to the pocket dimensions where he is hosting his adventures. He can also cause his portals to have a pulling effect that causes anyone near it to get pulled into it.

BFR

In case anyone were to get abstracted, Caine will just send them to the Cellar, a dark place beneath the Digital Circus. Additionally, Caine has also been able to teleport others to the Loser Corner if they lose all of their lives, drag all of the circus members into dark pocket dimensions to be tortured by their greatest fears, and would’ve sent everyone to Shrimp Town had they pressed the blue button to escape the Digital Circus. Demonic hands created by Caine were also once able to drag Pomni and Kinger into Hell.

Data Manipulation and Information Manipulation

With the entire area being within a digital simulation, Caine is able to interact with and even create data beings. In addition, given his digital physiology, he should be comparable to Kinger who has been able to manifest Caine’s very code on a computer which he proceeded to unintentionally delete which caused Caine to be deleted on an informational level.

Purification

When Ragatha’s body started to glitch out as a result of making contact with an abstracted Kaufmo, Caine proceeded to cure her of her glitchiness with a snap which made her body return to normal.

Pain Manipulation

As much as none of the circus members can die, Caine decided to program pain within the Digital Circus so the characters can feel it.

Existence Erasure

As one of his most infamous abilities known for being used on Gummigoo and Abel, Caine is able to erase people with the simple snap of his fingers, causing their bodies to instantly disappear as they are reduced to confetti. In addition, given his digital physiology, he should be comparable to Kinger who has been able to manifest Caine’s very code on a computer which he proceeded to unintentionally delete which caused Caine to be deleted on an informational level.

Weather Manipulation

In the episode The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor, Caine created a storm around the Mildenhall Manor that was crackling with lightning, mainly to add on to the spookiness of the adventure.

Electricity Manipulation

Not only is Caine able to create lightning through the storm clouds he generates, but he can also create text made out of electricity, shoot bolts of electricity out of himself in all directions if he gets put into an angered state, and generate electricity from his hand while touching something.

Soul Manipulation

When Caine was creating the Mildenhall Manor for the circus members to have an adventure in, he was able to create the ghosts within it.

Extrasensory Perception

Any time the circus members complete an adventure, Caine is somehow able to tell they did it by looking at his arm despite how there is nothing different about his arm both before and after they complete it. From this, he’s most likely seeing something on his arm that we can’t see.

Blood Manipulation

In one of the adventures he made that was ultimately scrapped the moment he announced it, Caine splattered blood onto the screen the moment he revealed the title of an adventure about a psychopath butcher’s curse. It’s a good thing that the circus members never had to go through this because Pomni would’ve been even more traumatized because of what happened the last time she went on a horror adventure.

Cloth Manipulation

According to Gooseworx, Caine has the ability to change the clothes on the circus members, which is apparently a part of their skin. This has actually been seen a few times within the series itself, such as him making Zooble wear a Spudsy’s uniform as she fell into Spudsy’s as well as him changing Jax’s clothes to make him wear a maid outfit.

Mind Manipulation

Having made everything in the Digital Circus, he also created the Stupid Sauce, which is a pink sauce that causes those who make contact with it to have their minds affected in a way that they essentially act drunk and feel light headed. He also once made Jax a vegan just because everyone decided to vote for him to become vegan. As a digital entity, he should also scale to Pomni who was able to enter an abstracted Jax’s mind by hugging him.

Perception Manipulation

As a side effect of the Stupid Sauce that Caine had created, it is able to twist the perception of the person who touched it, essentially simulating them being high. Caine was also able to replay an explanation for Jax by making him perceive that explanation in seconds simply by staring into his eyes.

Restoration

Caine was able to repair Gangle’s comedy mask with a snap. Now the ribbony circus member can be happy again!

Summoning

Through teleporting them or telekinetically dragging them with a snap, Caine is able to summon just about anyone and everyone within the Digital Circus. Who is he able to summon, you ask? Find out in a later section!

Radiation Manipulation (Debatable)

While this ability was never demonstrated by Caine at any point in the series, at one point while he was brainstorming through some adventure ideas, he had an idea for an adventure that involved the circus members needing to survive in a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland. Given Caine’s God status, he could potentially do this.

Telepathy (Debatable)

While this ability was never demonstrated by Caine at any point in the series, at one point while he was brainstorming through some adventure ideas, he had an idea for an adventure that included a telepathic talking dog as a character within said adventure. Given Caine’s God status, he could potentially do this.

Transmutation

Being the typical reality warper he is, Caine is able to change the appearances of the circus members by turning them into different things with a snap, such as turning Gangle into a rhino, turning Zooble into a flamingo, turning Pomni’s mouth into a zipper, famously removing everyone’s mouth to leave them with no chance to scream, and turning Gangle, Zooble, and Ragatha into bowling pins.

Duplication

As if him having multiple eyeballs isn’t enough, Caine can also make 2 other duplicates of himself that appear to be smaller than him.

Deconstruction

When Caine spotted Zooble hiding within a giant hanging flower pot, he proceeded to destroy said flower pot with the snap of his fingers which caused it to shatter into 2 large chunks and some very small ones. Additionally, he was able to shatter multiple lightbulbs from a distance just from playing notes on his piano.

Power Bestowal

Caine has the ability to give all others 3 lives to ensure that whenever they die, they will be brought back to life until they run out of lives. Later on by the end of the series, he would end up giving all of the circus members control of the Digital Circus, insinuating that he made them become just as powerful as him.

Fire Manipulation, Magma Manipulation, and Temperature Manipulation

Zooble once mentioned how Jax set them on fire and threw them into an active volcano, insinuating that fire and volcanoes do exist within the Digital Circus. Given the fact that Caine created the Digital Circus, he must’ve created fires as well as the volcanoes and the lava inside of them. Also, the Sun is an entity who literally exists in the Digital Circus who is… well, just take a wild guess.

Ice Manipulation

One of the worlds Caine created was an entire snowy environment, which may look pretty with its landscape, but it would also serve as the very location for a certain heated moment. 

Light Manipulation

Not only do flashbangs exist within the Digital Circus which can emit light powerful enough to disorientate others (Something Caine should be able to do by virtue of him creating everything within the Digital Circus including said flashbangs), but Caine was also seen generating light himself at the end of the fake escape game he set up.

Size Manipulation

On occasion, Caine has been shown to grow himself in size, which has him grow so big that he’s able to fit a circus member in the palm of a single hand, with his maximum grown size measuring up to 43.5 meters. This is especially prominent in his God form.

Gravity Manipulation

When all of the circus members were falling during Caine’s song, Caine proceeded to reverse their gravitational direction to make them fall up instead of down.

Illusion Creation

While Zooble was trying to run off to escape from the dimension they were in, they spotted a convincing tunnel which they attempted to run through only for said tunnel to go from looking 3-D to 2-D to make them crash into a wall Looney Tunes style.

Broadway Force

At one point in his song, Caine was able to make all of the circus members start dancing to his song to the point where they were unable to control their bodies.

Intangibility

Caine was able to phase his hand through Pomni’s head to pull her brain out, and later on he would proceed to phase his hand into his own head to pull the blue AI out of himself.

Explosion Manipulation

Caine is able to create big explosions on top of people. After all, it’s a pretty badass way of finishing off a villain song!

Healing

After everyone got blown to pieces, Caine proceeded to heal all of them back to their normal condition with a simple snap. Additionally, given his digital physiology, he should be comparable to Kinger who was able to make a healing butterfly to heal Ragatha.

Technology Manipulation

Given Caine’s digital physiology, he should be comparable to Kinger who was able to power a computer with just his imagination.

Platform Creation

While Caine was in the process of crossing a large gap to reach a door, he proceeded to create various objects in the air that served as platforms for him to walk on.

Resistances



MePhone4

MePhone Physiology

MePhones are a line of Meeple products created by Steve Cobs who are large sentient smartphones with arms and legs. These MePhones are typically programmed to do what job needs to be done. As you’d expect for sentient smartphones, none of them really have any organic materials within them.

Fourth Wall Awareness

In many episodes of Inanimate Insanity, MePhone straight up tells the viewers to vote which contestant on the losing side should be eliminated in the next episode. He’s also once interrupted a recap by pushing the screen aside off a cliff.

Sound Manipulation

At some point between the first two episodes of Season 1, MePhone underwent a MeTunes update that changed his voice into the one we are familiar with the most today. 


Fun fact: Did you know there was originally going to be a concept where MePhone would have a different voice in every episode before this eventually got scrapped in favor of him only focusing on one voice?

Multiple Selves

When MePhone4S gave up his body to lend it to MePhone4, the latter would inherit the former’s talking hand. It’s nothing much outside of it looking very silly, though he did once attempt to use it to attack Cobs only for Cobs to break the hand.

MeLife

Being the main source as to how he does a majority of his natural abilities which is powered by the Light Shimmer Egg inside of him, MePhone has pretty much utilized this throughout the series to create and do many of the things that couldn't have been possible without it. From here on out, the rest of these abilities listed here will be tied to MeLife.

Creation

If it weren’t for MeLife, the entire set for MePhone’s show wouldn't have existed to begin with. Not only is MePhone able to generate virtually any object in mind such as weapons, various landmarks, and other pieces of equipment (Whether it’d be for challenges or just general tools) with a thought, but he can also generate actual people, which allows him to shape their personality to whatever he sees fits them as well as give some of them supernatural abilities.

Resurrection (Of others)

By utilizing MeLife, MePhone is able to revive characters who have died by simply generating a new body for them out of thin air. Despite this, it’s been shown to have limits where it only works on contestants he himself has created through MeLife, and should a character die before a revival icon for them could be made or if MePhone himself dies and has his consciousness transferred to another body, then the character will not be revived. They do, however, end up in the MeAfterlife where they can attempt the red line game to come back to life.

Portal Creation and BFR

As the main method for getting rid of eliminated contestants in Season 2, MePhone is able to summon a portal that he can use to send people to a supply closet in Hotel OJ where he would end up being sued for doing this. He can also create a portal below himself to then have it move up to completely envelop him to take him to wherever he needs to go, essentially acting as a form of pseudo-teleportation, with the range of these portals allowing MePhone to go from Paradise to Inanimate Island which is 100 miles away.

Forcefield Creation

By utilizing MeLife, MePhone is able to generate a shield in front of him with a thought as a method to defend himself against the Light Shimmers’ spaceship firing a laser at him.

Transformation

In the episode A Kick in the Right Direction, MePhone4 attempted to update himself to MePhone7 before being interrupted by Marshmallow. Had he done this change, he would’ve permanently upgraded into a weapon of mass destruction. We do actually see MePhone7 appear in the episode Alternate Reality Show through an alternate timeline, so that’s neat.

Teleportation (Of others)

In the episode War De Guacamole, when MePhone finally decided to allow the Nick Le votes from last episode to properly eliminate Nickel, he’s seemingly bringing Lightbulb back from Idiotic Island out of thin air. Also, in the episode Sugar Rush, MePhone sends Balloon to Idiotic Island through green smoke enveloping him to teleport him there.

Smoke Manipulation

Only seemingly shown once in the episode Sugar Rush, MePhone sends Balloon to Idiotic Island through green smoke enveloping him to teleport him there.

Summoning

With a simple snap, MePhone was able to summon a metal cage which he would eventually use to trap MePhone4S in.

Self-Memory Manipulation

MePhone is able to delete certain memories from his system which in turn forms said deleted memories into physical artifacts known as gemories.

Crystal Manipulation

In the episode Mine Your Own Business, MePhone raises his hand up to make a gemory rise from the ground.

Limited Mind Manipulation

After a majority of the remaining contestants died in the episode Out of Body Experience, MePhone was in a hurry to revive all of them at once to prepare for a critic’s arrival that when he ended up succeeding in doing so, they all ended up being revived in the wrong bodies. This only seems to work when he’s reviving multiple of his creations.

Reality Warping

When MePhone was planning on making Season 3 happen, he would ultimately change the artstyle of the show upon arriving at Paradise to host his new season there, with the change being able to spread across all of Paradise which includes the Dessert Desert which is 100 miles long. It’s also heavily implied that he was responsible for changing the animation style to that of the first 2 episodes of the series considering how when he was first made, the artstyle appeared to be that of Season 2’s artstyle instead of Season 1’s artstyle.

Time Manipulation

In order to stall time in confronting Cobs through extending his show, MePhone decided to freeze the final 4 contestants of Season 2 in time for 4 years so he can spend time hosting Season 3.

Magma Manipulation

Given the fact that MePhone created many of his show’s assets, it includes Paradise’s volcano as well as the lava inside of it.

Even More Abilities

As the episode The Reality of the Situation revealed, all of the contestants on Inanimate Insanity (As well as other characters in the show) were created by none other than MePhone4 himself, from their personalities to looks to even their abilities. Because of this, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to believe that MePhone can pull off any of the abilities his creations have access to. What do they have, exactly? Well, we’ll get to that in a later section.

Resistances

Forms

Caine

God

In the episode hjsakldfhl, Caine became so mad about the circus members hating him so much that he turned into this giant multi-armed eldritch form in a fit of rage as he proceeded to torture all of the circus members with their greatest fears. He doesn’t gain many abilities in this form outside of the aforementioned large size and additional arms, but it is a pretty horrifying form to look at.


MePhone4

MePhone7

In an earlier episode of Inanimate Insanity, MePhone4 was attempting to upgrade himself to MePhone7 only for him to be interrupted when doing so, which ultimately led him to never upgrading himself afterwards. However, in the episode Alternate Reality Show, we end up actually seeing MePhone7, which appears to be capable of flying and also possesses MeLife. Given how this is an updated version of MePhone4, this form should pretty much have the rest of his abilities.

MePhone7+

Just minutes after MePhone7’s appearance in Alternate Reality Show, MePhone7 would end up being hit by a beam of light where he would end up upgrading to MePhone 7+. This form is never really seen doing anything given how it literally only has 1 second of screentime, but given how it’s an updated version, it should be stronger than before.

Support

Caine

Literally everyone in the Digital Circus

As Caine is the God of the Digital Circus, he is able to summon anyone and everyone residing within the Digital Circus, typically by teleporting them or telekinetically dragging them to his location. These include just about anyone he’s created for the sake of having them involved in adventures he makes and even the circus members for the sake of them either being within these very adventures or simply just him needing them for something. In terms of what they have, given how every entity in the Digital Circus is digital, along with the fact that Kinger stated how they all have the the same conjuring powers as Caine (Albeit needing more focus in order to use them), they should pretty much have all of the powers and abilities of Caine as much as they haven’t really been seen doing a lot of their abilities due to them not being as experienced as Caine in using these abilities. Additionally, they should also be able to have access to all of the equipment Caine has given how he’s been able to give them these equipment throughout their adventures for them to use.


Now, without further ado… let’s get right on with the show!

The Circus Members

What is a circus without the members who serve as the main stars of the show? Being the brain-scanned clones of humans who were sent to the Digital Circus, they inherit all of the memories of their real life selves except for their real name, and Caine usually wants to give all of the circus members a good time by putting them on fun adventures, though overtime, the circus members grew to hate them because they never got to do what they wanted.


All of the circus members have the ability to abstract through falling into an unstable psychological state, a process that is irreversible. Upon being abstracted, they become a mindless giant black entity with glowing eyes around their body, and they gain the abilities to glitch out people they make contact with, run on walls, and deconstruct anything they make contact with with their attacks. Of course, should they abstract, Caine is more likely to just send them to the Cellar, so they would effectively be killed off. Luckily, the circus members (Minus Jax) have all surprisingly been able to keep their cool throughout their time in the Digital Circus, which led to them not being at risk of being abstracted, and since they’ve been given full control of the Digital Circus, they were now able to be happy in getting to do what they have wanted. 


Now let’s meet the stars of the show!

Pomni

As the main protagonist in the series as well as the most recent brain copied clone to enter the Digital Circus, Pomni is the clone of a 25 year old woman named Abigail Brooks, an accountant who enjoys filming herself doing urban exploring with her friends and posting these videos on social media.


As Pomni, she is a kind, compassionate, and empathetic person who is willing to try her best to help others no matter how uncomfortable or stressed out they are feeling. She’s also been shown to be pretty skilled in wielding a gun, as she was once able to fire a single shot from it that ricocheted all over the place to disarm Zooble of all of their guns which led her and Jax to finish them off to win Caine’s shooting adventure.

Jax

As the other main protagonist of the series, Jax is the clone of a 22 year old man named Leeroy Mateo who had a rather tragic life, having his to witness his parents divorcing when he was in high school which led to him living with only his mother as his father had left, never to be seen by him again. As he lived alone with his mother, he would constantly get into fights with her to the point where his mother considered him being as bad as his father, so much so that one day, things grew serious when Leeroy would push his mother to the ground where she would never get back up afterward, making him believe that he murdered his mother to the point where he ran away, albeit he wasn’t really sure if his mother was really dead and only assumed so. Though, it was insisted that if he really did kill his mother, the police would’ve been after him by now which they hadn’t. Nonetheless, even after that horrifying incident that left him homeless for a few months, he managed to share a room with a close friend, get a stable job as a package delivery person to be able to pay off his rent, and go out to have fun with his friends at Riley’s (Zooble’s) bar.


As Jax, he is an irredeemable jerk who tries to cope with the situation of being trapped in the Digital Circus by believing that everything is a cartoon without any real consequences. Overtime, Jax’s mental health started to deteriorate especially after the shootout adventure he won with Pomni which made the two get into a fight that started because Jax wanted Pomni to shoot him despite how Pomni never wanted to (Which makes sense given how he inherited his real world self’s then-depressed personality), so much so to the point where he ultimately abstracted after Caine was deleted from existence, thus forcing the remaining circus members to work together in containing him, which also involved Pomni going into the abstracted Jax’s mind to find Jax, who was in a saddened state claiming that he never wanted to go. As a result of never being able to redeem himself, he ultimately faced the consequences of never having his story properly end as his now-braindead and abstracted state remained stored in a tent while everyone else lived a happy life.

Ragatha

Ragatha is the clone of a 30 year old woman named Susie J. Ackerman, who was born under a wealthy family that owned a large property in the form of a farm that housed many chickens and horses. Unfortunately, she would have an abusive mother who was implied to have physically abused her, but eventually, left her hometown and cut off all contact with her mother to have a successful career and friends to support her, with these people in question finding her important to them.


As Ragatha, she acts self-conscious and is afraid of people hating her, though she is willing to give support to others. As much as she hates herself deep down to the point where she feels like she might disappoint others, she would eventually be convinced by Kinger that she never needed to ruin herself to show that she cared for everyone. Additionally, she’s the worst circus member at using guns as evident with how she was the first one out of the shooting adventure, though she is seemingly skilled in wielding a butcher’s knife.

Kinger

As one of the first humans to show up in the Digital Circus, Kinger is the clone of a 48 year old man named Grant Best, who works within the technology business and lives a happy life with his wife, Destiny, and they would go on to have 2 daughters with Grant being deemed a good father. He is also one of the 2 people (The other being Scratch) to have created Caine.


As Kinger, he has the tendency to become insane, forgetful, and random whenever he is exposed to light, but if he gets exposed to darkness for an extended period of time, he starts to become sane enough to explain things clearly as darkness helps him remember due to being reminded of Queenie. He also has 7 years of computer science experience, something which has allowed him to operate a computer to try to access Caine’s code.

Zooble

Zooble is a clone of a 22 year old person named Riley Verselis who jumped from job to job before settling down to open a bar, which did really well as everyone in their town went to their bar to be at ease without judgements.


As Zooble, they have access to multiple body parts within their Zooble Box that they are able to put onto themselves, which allows them to have many different options in how they should appear as which is why they’ve looked different in all of the episodes they were in. Also, they managed to actually have sex with Gangle at the end of the series.

Gangle

Gangle is a clone of a 26 year old woman named Zoey Raghayan, who was a fast food worker that got hit by a truck which led to her being injured and taken to the hospital, though she would thankfully make a great recovery. Afterwards, she would eventually quit her fast food job to get a job in a small design agency where she would go on to publish pages of her webcomic on the internet.


As Gangle, she is known for carrying a comedy mask and a tragedy mask, the former being her normal look where she acts happy, while the latter serves as her true face to represent how she pretends to be happy when she’s really sad and depressed deep inside. Given how she’s the digital clone of an artist, she loves drawing OCs as well as anime art that can either be cringey or good. Her favorite gun also happens to be a Tommy Gun, being the very thing she’s wanted to use while laughing maniacally which she eventually got to do the moment she got her ribbony hands on it. Also, she managed to actually have sex with Zooble at the end of the series.

Bubble

As Caine’s most prized assistant who can simply be summoned through Caine’s hat, Bubble is a rather weird, mischievous, and impatient individual who can be quite goofy. Even when Caine finds him annoying at times to the point where he pops him very often, Bubble doesn’t really seem to be bothered by it, even to the point where he actually likes being popped. Bubble has also been well aware about Caine’s origins, even to the point where he actually calls Caine inferior to the blue AI he absorbed, which shows that he’s been willing to turn against him at times. Oddly enough, Bubble never appears at any point during the show’s series finale, with a possible explanation to this being that he is the blue AI that Caine took out of his head that was released into the Void.


In terms of her abilities, not only is he able to duplicate himself to make at least a dozen clones (Likely more due to him continuing to duplicate after Caine popped each of them), he’s also able to grow in size large enough to fit multiple people inside of him and teleport others to different locations upon being popped.

Mannequins

Appearing in multiple episodes of the series, these wooden mannequins are the most common type of NPC the circus members have encountered. They usually only serve as background filler doing typical human actions, but on occasion, Caine has actually been able to have them help him with certain tasks.

The Moon

Residing within the Grounds, the Moon is a light blue crescent-shaped entity that represents night. She seems to be heavily implied to have a crush on Caine, but Caine isn’t really into her.

The Sun

Residing within the Grounds, the Sun is a yellow sun-shaped entity that represents day. Despite how she appears to be happy all the time, she has the tendency to hate people for no reason, even to the point where she straight up burnt a shrimp NPC to the point of turning it into shrimp tempura with her heat from a distance.

Gloinks

In the very first adventure Pomni got to be in, Caine had the adventure be about the circus members needing to catch all of the Gloinks in the Digital Circus. These Gloinks, as Caine describes them, are small mischievous creatures that love to steal anything and everything they encounter. Any time they grab onto an object, it’s able to stick onto them, and they can still move around normally while the object is attached to them.

Gloink Queen

Known as the queen of all Gloinks, the Gloink Queen is a giant snake-like creature who is very prideful and hates people who aren’t her Gloinks. Her purpose is to make Gloinks to ensure that the Gloink bloodline continues.

Gloink King

While never physically seen, a Gloink King does in fact exist, where its purpose is to mate with the Gloink Queen so she can produce her offspring. According to Gooseworx, the Gloink King dies after mating, and in case you’re wondering why this image is literally the same image as the normal Gloinks, that’s because the Gloink King is meant to look like a normal Gloink in appearance.

Some Screaming Mask

When Pomni opened one of the doors in the Digital Circus, she spotted a mannequin NPC taking a bath, and suddenly, this red screaming mask just came out of this mannequin to charge after Pomni, who quickly shut the door before it could get to her. This is why you should always respect people’s privacy…

Monkey Figures

When Pomni opened up a barrel in an attempt to hide within it, the barrel ended up shooting out these red monkey figures that proceeded to run off.

Gummy Elephant

When the circus members were first transported into the Candy Canyon Kingdom, they were seen riding within a carriage pulled by a gummy elephant.

Princess Loolilalu

As the ruler of the Candy Canyon Kingdom, Princess Loolilalu is a sentient lollipop who is very courteous, kind, and friendly to anyone who meets her. She was pretty much the one who tasked the circus members into getting a maple syrup tanker back from the crocodile bandits.

The Crocodile Bandits

Serving as the main antagonists of the episode Candy Canyon Chaos!, these bandits resembling gummy crocodiles consisting of Gummigoo, Max, and Chad stole a maple syrup tanker, and the circus members were given the task of getting it back from them. As you can expect for a trio of bandits, they are pretty much up to no good and they will do all it takes to stop themselves from being defeated. Pomni would end up befriending Gummigoo and would take him back to the Digital Circus, only for Caine to just be a dick and erase Gummigoo from existence due to him not wanting to confuse who is a human and who is an NPC. Don’t worry, Gummigoo did eventually come back 2 episodes later, albeit without his memories of the last episode he was in.

The Fudge

Appearing in Candy Canyon Chaos!, the Fudge is a giant ~44 meter tall entity made of fudge (Go figure) with jawbreakers for eyes and candy corn for teeth. He is very gluttonous and simple minded, caring about nothing more than his love for candy, which is ironic given he literally is made of candy, which pretty much makes him a cannibal.

Ghostly

Originating from the episode The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor, Ghostly is a friendly green ghost who serves as a guide to the Mildenhall Manor. As you can expect, they are pretty knowledgeable about the Mildenhall Manor’s locations. Despite being a useful tour guide, however, they are straight up weak to being sucked into vacuums Luigi’s Mansion style.

Demonic Door

Serving as one of the doors in the Mildenhall Manor, this scary looking door is able to send those who enter its mouth into an unsettling living room with a fireplace.

Baron Theodore Mildenhall

In the episode The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor, when Pomni and Kinger first heard his voice through various tape recorders while they were inside the Mildenhall Manor, he appeared to be a helpful person to them, giving insight about the Angel. In truth, he was a manipulative spirit who wanted to get Pomni and Kinger to kill the Angel so he can get their bodies dragged into hell so he can possess their bodies and escape the hall of the damned.

Angel

Serving as the secondary antagonist of the episode The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor, the Angel is a horrific entity that wanted to go after Baron to punish him for his crimes. It is composed of 2 separate parts that just so happen to be capable of moving on its own: the head and the headless body. According to Baron, anyone who harms the Angel will be dragged down into the pits of hell by demonic hands.


Martha Mildenhall

Known as the wife to Baron, Martha is a well-mannered ghost who got killed by her very husband. She actually had quite a positive interaction with Ragatha and Gangle where they drank tea together in the dining hall.

Souls

When Pomni and Kinger got sent to hell, these souls would proceed to possess Pomni’s body before proceeding to use her body to attack Kinger. Thankfully, Kinger managed to drive them off by attacking the possessed Pomni a few times.

Orbsman

Prior to Pomni’s arrival in the Digital Circus, the other circus members have met Orbsman in another adventure, an entity whose body is made up of blue orbs. He speaks with a nearly incomprehensive voice.

Bull

Wherever Kinger was when he stayed behind while every other circus member went to work at Spudsy’s, he somehow managed to get into some rodeo that had him ride on a bull as seen on a picture on Caine’s wall. Funnily enough, this rodeo ended up causing Kinger to have the best performance out of every other circus member despite never participating in the adventure.

Evil Big Tops

During a baseball game-themed adventure in the episode Untitled, the circus members became a baseball team known as the Big Tops, and the opposing team they would end up facing would be the Evil Big Tops, which is literally just a team full of evil counterparts of the circus members. You have the rude and bold Evil Pomni who swears a lot, the kind and nervous Evil Jax who doesn’t actually seem to be evil at all, the cruel and arrogant Evil Ragatha, the dictative leader Coach Dictator (AKA Evil Kinger), the unintelligent Bazooble (AKA Evil Zooble), and the anger-filled Evil Orbsman. Oddly enough, Gangle doesn’t even have an evil counterpart (Which is actually confirmed to be intentional by Gooseworx because she found it to be funny).


Due to them essentially being evil clones of the circus members, they presumably have all of the same powers and abilities as them.

Disappearing Guy

And here we have a hatted mannequin NPC who…


…oh, he vanished. Guess we’ll never know his true potential!

Giant Centipede

It’s a giant centipede that eats baseballs. Need I say more?

Ming

Hailing from the episode They All Get Guns, Ming doesn’t like people who have ruined his reputation with their assumptions. Guess you could say, he REALLY DOES make an ASS out of U and MING!

Crappy Looking Fish

Found within the Digital Lake lie these 2 creepy looking talking fish. The orange one seems to be protective about his sunken treasure chest while the red one seems to lie.

Piranhas

While we never physically see the piranhas, we at least know they exist in the Digital Circus because of how Zooble once mentioned how Jax pushed Gangle into a pool of piranhas.

Shrimp

Literally just a shrimp NPC who we only see alive for a few seconds before it gets turned into shrimp tempura by the Sun.

Abel

He may appear to be a regular mannequin, but Abel is someone who claims to be a human that had been watching the circus members all this time, and that he believed that he found the way to leave the circus and back to the real world. According to him, he claims that he’s been in the circus longer than the others and that he helped create the Digital Circus, that he an employee of C&A who had Kinger as one of his co-workers, and that the higher ups at C&A started forcibly hooking up their employees to a computer within stasis pods that would keep them alive so their brains could be analyzed with them expanding development to other people.


He would then go on to explain a plan to the circus members that would involve terminating the master console in Caine’s office so everyone within the stasis pods would be able to wake up, which the circus members would begin to follow. Eventually, by the time all of the circus members started to get sent to Abel’s office through abusing physics to reach it, Abel stated that he couldn’t come with them to Caine’s office, but trusted the circus members that they would all make the right choice, even to the point where Pomni admitted that when all of this was over, she would go buy Abel a beer. And so, Abel would be remembered as a memorable character to everyone who assisted the circus members in escaping in order to end their suffering…


…which is what they wanted you to think.


In truth, everything Abel had said and done was nothing more than an entire fabrication orchestrated by Caine to make the circus members feel like they managed to find a way out all so they would unknowingly end up going through yet another adventure made by Caine, and that Abel was just an NPC created to serve as an actor throughout this whole scheme. Unfortunately for Abel, though, Caine would end up deleting him from existence just because he asked him if he could get a raise for his performance which Caine took as him becoming too smart.


Fun fact: The official subtitles for the episode end up spoiling the fact that Abel is an NPC by calling him one even after he’s called a human just 20 minutes before the plot twist would be revealed. Go turn them on and read the captions around Abel’s first major appearance to see what I mean.

Nightmare Crocodile Bandits

When Pomni got taken to her nightmarish pocket dimension, she saw someone in the distance who she thought to be Gummigoo, only for it to turn out to be a nightmarish replica of him that would proceed to maul her alongside the nightmarish replicas of Max and Chad.

Ragatha’s Mother

When Ragatha got taken to her nightmarish pocket dimension, she would be forced to come face to face with a nightmarish replica of her mother across a dining table who would proceed to hurl knives into her.

Shadow Circus Members

When Jax got taken to his nightmarish pocket dimension, he was forced to confront multiple shadowy replicas of Pomni, Kaufmo, and Ribbit who would all proceed to start laughing at him to torment him before grabbing him by the head to tear his skin off of his body.


MePhone4

Toilet

When MePhone ordered a new host for Season 2, Toilet would ultimately be assigned to him. Unfortunately for MePhone, he hated him due to finding him an annoyance with his obnoxious voice and his not-so-bright intelligence. Later on, MePhone would realize that Toilet was tied to Cobs to the point where he would fire him. However, even in the wake of being fired, he would redeem himself by assisting in the defeat of Cobs through unplugging Me, stopping Cobs’ ship from destroying the Light Shimmers’ spaceship in the process, before eventually getting an apology from MePhone. 


That being said, he has the following abilities:

MePad

Serving as the secondary co-host of Season 2, MePhone ended up taking MePad with him (Who was undergoing an update) while he was in the midst of escaping Meeple Inc. Compared to Toilet, MePhone actually tolerated MePad a lot more because of the respect and loyalty he shows to him. He would end up sacrificing himself to save MePhone from being impaled by Cobs’ blade, with this sacrifice being so heroic that everyone ended up building a mansion named after him to honor him.


That being said, in terms of abilities, MePad is able to teleport himself and others with a thought.

The Contestants

In order to start Inanimate Insanity, MePhone needed contestants, so what would be a better way than to make his contestants based on the drawings he envisioned them to be? The contestants have pretty much helped MePhone in the past, such as when MePhone’s battery died to the point where the contestants had to go retrieve a new battery from Meeple Headquarters or when some of them tried to stop the Unvitational Committee from killing MePhone. The contestants should pretty much have access to whatever stuff that MePhone is able to give them since the latter has done that when hosting challenges.


It should be noted that while the contestants from the first 3 seasons will be included here, I’ll also include some of the Season 4 contestants here due to them having been created by MePhone himself, with the exception of MeTag (Who was only recruited after MePhone’s arc ended) and Poppy (Who is heavily implied to not be a creation of MePhone). Also, remember when I mentioned earlier that MePhone has access to more abilities through MeLife because of how he made the contestants? Well, from here on out, all of the remaining support for MePhone I will be talking about are the very creations he made, meaning that whatever abilities they have that MePhone hasn’t been shown to do onscreen, MePhone should be able to do these very abilities himself. Essentially, consider this a bit of a mini blog analysis of everyone for each section!


With that said, here are the contestants of insanity!

Paper

Kicking things off with the very first character to be eliminated from Inanimate Insanity, Paper is a sentient sheet of notebook paper who acted pretty friendly and innocent at the start of the series, but ever since he got eliminated and sent to Idiotic Island, his mental health started to deteriorate so much that out of anger, he ended up manifesting an evil alter ego of himself that acted violent known as Evil Paper. Thankfully, however, Paper would rejoin the game later on, but on occasion, Evil Paper would manifest and start to act violent towards others before turning back into Paper, who remains oblivious as to what happened. Eventually, Paper would manage to overcome Evil Paper while he was knocked out of cold during a smackdown challenge, and since then, he has grown to be much more confident in himself to the point where he can stand up for himself without being pushed around. He placed 3rd in Season 1 and wouldn’t come back to compete in Season 2 or 3, but he did manage to come back in Season 4 where he is still competing to this day.

Baseball

Moving on over to the second eliminated contestant of Season 1 and the overall last placer of the season as a result of Paper rejoining, Baseball was initially perceived as a quiet and intelligent character at the start of the series, but due to how he got eliminated early in that season, we would hardly get to know him. That is, until he came back in Season 2, where he would manage to redeem himself by by becoming the team captain of the Grand Slams, where he began to develop a trustworthy and courageous personality that made him act like a loyal leader to his team, with him making the plans on how his team should act in order to win. He placed 16th in Season 1, but would ultimately make up for this in Season 2 where he would manage to place 3rd, though he wouldn’t come back to compete in Season 3 or 4. After being out of the competition and given his freedom, he would end up becoming a tour guide to show many MePhone creations who recently escaped the MeAfterlife many of the society’s major locations.


In terms of abilities, he’s striking up:

Regeneration

After having his entire body burnt by Paintbrush’s fire, Baseball was later shown to be back in perfect condition a moment later.

Resistances

Lightbulb

As the brightest contestant on the show, Lightbulb usually strives to brighten the mood of others even during the darkest times. While known to be a caring and optimistic leader who can sometimes make smart decisions, Lightbulb can also be lazy and goofy at times, resulting in her having an unpredictable behavior that can lead to her either facing disaster or having rather unexpected successes. Within the competition, Lightbulb unfairly got out at one point in Season 1 because the viewers trying to vote Nickel couldn’t spell his name right to the point where they weren’t counted, though later on they eventually did get counted to the point where Nickel got eliminated while Lightbulb got to rejoin. Even after that rejoin, however, she still did rather badly in Season 1 as she ended up placing 11th overall. All of this would change, however, when she did much better in Season 2 to the point where she would manage to place 4th in that season, and while she never came back for Season 3, she actually managed to come back in Season 4, but once again did bad and placed 22nd overall. So much for someone who was pretty much the outlier of that season, it should’ve been either Salt, Pickle, Bomb, or Tissues to take her place…


Fun fact: Lightbulb was initially referred to as male in the first 3 episodes of the series, but from the 4th episode and onwards, Lightbulb would now be referred to as female as a way to try to balance the gender ratio for the cast, even to the point where in a livestream, Brian Koch, one of the directors and writers for the series, would state that Lightbulb is officially transgender.


Enough about the facts, let’s see if her abilities can brighten the tides up.

Light Manipulation

Being a literal lightbulb, she has the ability to turn herself on to emit light out of herself to be able to see in the dark. This light is also potent enough to be capable of harming ghosts who make contact with it.

Electricity Manipulation

As an electrical device, Lightbulb is able to emit electricity from her hands which can allow her to electrify objects with a touch to make them electric, power up electrical devices, and intensify fires.

Fourth Wall Awareness

Upon reacting to Paintbrush floating in the air, Lightbulb proceeded to state that someone bribed the animator to make them float.

Elasticity

In order to blend in with the terrible animation style of Season 1 while she was in the past, Lightbulb is able to turn her own mouth upside down in such a way that her tongue and teeth get turned.

Knife

Moving on to the proud jerk, Knife is a brash and destructive sentient blade who has commonly bullied weaker players such as Paper and Marshmallow. Despite how mean he appears to be, he apparently has a soft side as he shows love for his Dora Doll which he obtained at one of the Elimination Time ceremonies at one point. While he didn’t do well in Season 1 to the point where he placed 15th overall, he ultimately managed to change his approach of handling things in Season 2, where although he maintains his iconic jerk status, he actually started to care about those near him to the point where he started to give them advice, and he became much more strategic in eliminating threats he knows would be too much for him. 


As a result of this huge character development, he would manage to get into the final 2 with Suitcase, where the two of them would try to stop Cobs, which would ultimately end in them being deleted from existence once Toilet unplugged Me. Afterwards, Knife would find himself in the MeAfterlife, where he and the others would ultimately try to escape through playing the Red Line Game. As everyone was trying to ensure that they all made it through, Knife was sure that was the case until he ended up seeing Marshmallow being unaccounted for who was all the way in the back, having tripped to the point where the red line was starting to catch up on her. Wanting to make up for the times he bullied her, Knife would proceed to run back to grab Marshmallow before throwing her through the portal to finish the Red Line Game, and it was there that it was time to save himself, so he ran as fast as he could as the red line was closing in on him, and he managed to successfully reach the end… at the same time he was unfortunately hit by the red line. As a result, Knife ultimately became a ghost and the newest resident of Purgatory Mansion, being unable to leave its confines due to a barrier being in his way. Even with this heroic sacrifice, however, Knife ultimately ended up losing the season as a result of Suitcase being the one to land the final hit on Cobs, with MePhone himself even being surprised that Knife lost as he programmed him to win the season, yet this sudden break would end up showing that his creations were truly starting to evolve to become more human in personality. Since then, Knife now lives with Bow, Dough, Apple, and Marshmallow at Purgatory Mansion.


Now, as Knife only became a ghost at the end of MePhone’s arc which was when the latter already lost access to MeLife, for the sake of continuity reasons, Knife is in his alive state here. That said, he’s pretty sharp thanks to him having the following abilities:

Bodily Weaponry

Not very surprising for him to have given his name and appearance, Knife can pretty much cut through and stab objects with his blade just like any typical knife would.

Elasticity

Knife is able to extend his arm to around thrice his normal arm length.

Nickel

Known for his sarcasm and pessimism that often causes many people to see him as rude, Nickel is blunt and isn’t afraid to speak out to others, though others might take whatever he is saying wrong as a result of his history for said sarcasm, which can cause him to not work very well on teams. Despite his sarcasm hindering him, he is extremely loyal and is willing to help others, even willing to make friends and form alliances. While he did not do well in Season 1 to the point where he placed 14th overall (After he got properly eliminated when the votes for Nick Le ended up being accepted in the episode after Lightbulb was unfairly eliminated) and even got unintentionally eliminated by Suitcase betraying him by casting a single vote on him during a surprise double elimination round which made him place 10th in Season 2, Nickel would start to take things much more seriously in Season 3, doing so well despite the distrust from others that he managed to place 4th overall. After being given his freedom, Nickel would eventually get a job at the Reality Restaurant as an assistant at the kitchen, and he would not compete again in Season 4.

Resistances

Balloon

Often seen initially as a manipulative and ruthless contestant to the point where he was hated by everyone back when he debuted in Season 1, Balloon eventually started to realize this error and become a lot nicer to everyone in Season 2, though some people still think that Balloon is still untrustworthy. As a result of his rude personality back then, it led to Balloon being an early elimination in Season 1 where he placed 13th, but he eventually managed to get to compete again in Season 2 to place higher than before, but despite how he acted a lot nicer in that season, he still ended up placing 11th in that season. All of this would change when he would compete once more in Season 3, where he would start to have a gameplay style that made him disloyal and unpredictable, allowing him to actually manage to reach the finale where he ultimately came in 2nd.


In terms of abilities, this hot aired contestant is full of:

Levitation

Being a literal helium balloon, Balloon is able to float himself in the air to the point where he naturally falls down very slowly.

Resistances

Pepper

Known for being egocentric, stubborn, and unintelligent, Pepper is often seen hanging out with Salt, who she cares about the most to the point where she’s willing to straight up throw challenges if Salt gets out of them. Unlike her best friend, however, Pepper is more interested in playing the game due to asking about them frequently, even going on to straight up compete in Season 4 while Salt never really came back for that season. She may have done badly in Season 1 to the point where she got 12th overall, as well as the fact that she never came back for Season 2 or 3, but with her returning in Season 4, she is hoping to do better than before by becoming independent from Salt, and she still competes in that season to this day.


Perhaps you want pepper with these abilities now.

Darkness Manipulation

Along with Salt, they were able to turn the area around them dark when introducing themselves. While it could be argued that they don’t have this due to the fact that these were alternate timeline versions of themselves that did this, this is technically the same Salt and Pepper from the original first episode of the series, meaning that their main universe counterparts should be able to still do this.

Salt

As an essential copy and paste of Pepper’s personality (Especially given how they are best friends with each other), Salt is straight up that. Unlike Pepper, however, Salt is more self-centered and arrogant, and she also has a massive crush on OJ (Who isn’t really interested in her), being in love with him so much that she straight up starts to mess plans up and not follow instructions. Salt would end up placing 10th overall in Season 1, which is the only season she has competed in due to her not coming back to compete in any season after this, and ever since she was given freedom, she would eventually go on to become a hospital worker to care for those who are injured or ill.


She may have had a salty run, but let’s see if her abilities can make up for that…

Supernatural Luck

As something that was only ever shown in one episode, Salt gets bad luck which can spread to those near her if she tips over like all salt shakers do. In this case, it caused a random bomb to be thrown out of nowhere towards her and Pepper which proceeded to blow up in their faces.

Darkness Manipulation

Along with Pepper, they were able to turn the area around them dark when introducing themselves. While it could be argued that they don’t have this due to the fact that these were alternate timeline versions of themselves that did this, this is technically the same Salt and Pepper from the original first episode of the series, meaning that their main universe counterparts should be able to still do this.

Paintbrush

As one of the tallest contestants, Paintbrush often acts responsible and takes things very seriously. They act compassionate and loyal to their friends and allies, even serving as a leader to them as a result of them being capable of taking a pragmatic approach when solving problems. Perhaps the most iconic trait of them, however, is that they are very short-tempered, being prone to get so angry that their bristles start to get engulfed in flames, something which has actually made them lose in certain challenges. In every season they have been in, Paintbrush got out at around the middle of the game, placing 9th in Season 1, 8th in Season 2, and 9th in Season 3, with the latter season being the last season they would compete in as a result of them retiring. Since then, after being given their freedom, Paintbrush would become a safety enforcer to ensure that everyone is safe and away from harm at all times.


Moving on to their abilities, they are painting up:

Fire Manipulation

As Paintbrush’s most iconic ability, they are able to shoot fire out of their hair to burn things that make contact with it, with them being able to release the fire either as a wave or a stream.

Probability Manipulation

If a projectile ever comes towards them with no way to dodge it, Paintbrush can say “AMAZING DODGING SKILLS GO!” to cause the projectile to come to a halt in mid-air which will make it fall to the ground normally.

Resistances

Bomb

He may be easygoing and have a speech disorder that causes him to stutter very often, but Bomb is still a considerate and compassionate contestant who proves to be loyal and helpful to the friends he shows deep care for. Even though he’s a living bomb, Bomb ironically wants to stay away from unnecessary violence. He would eventually place 8th in Season 1, which is the only season he ever competed in as he never came back to compete in any other season.


Now, will his abilities be the bomb?

Explosion Manipulation

As his most iconic ability, Bomb has the ability to blow up which can cause an explosion that can damage or even kill others who are in it. Of course, upon exploding, he dies in the process.

Body Control

While stuttering, Bomb can seemingly make his mouth go off of his body in the process.

Marshmallow

As kind and endearing as she is, Marshmallow is a fierce and aggressive contestant who often gets into conflicts with others which causes her to have significant trust issues with them. She isn’t physically strong, but she makes up for this with her ability to speak out to others, motivating them in such a way that it encourages them to try to win the challenges. Despite this, she will always seem to put herself over others in terms of issues she’s going through, which has caused trouble between her and others. Within the competition, Marshmallow got out around the middle of both seasons she competed in, placing 7th in Season 1 and 9th in Season 2, both of which were out of the viewers’ control. After being out of the competition, she would go on to live with Bow, Dough, and Apple at the Purgatory Mansion where she could finally feel complete.


In terms of the stuff she has, these ones are pretty sweet.

Time Machine

Bought from Walmart (It has everything!), the Time Machine can send the user and whoever is near them back in time and forward in time with just the press of a button. Not only is this used for just time travel, but it can also be used to pause time within an area.

MePhone4 Dummy

Also bought from Walmart, this MePhone4 dummy is pretty useful for tricking others into believing that they got MePhone4 when all they did was hit a dummy. What can I say? Walmart has everything!

Gravity Manipulation

A rather strange ability only seen in the first season, any time Marshmallow falls, there will be a chance for her body to randomly stop in mid-air before she gets positioned somewhere else, specifically either horizontally or back upwards. This seems to be an ability that she has no control over due to it occurring randomly, and it has the chance to either hinder her or help her.

Resilient Immortality

Marshmallow can survive having a twig impaled up her ass and through her head. No, I am not joking.

Resistances

Apple

Appearing as one of 10 characters to have a chance to debut in Season 1, Apple would ultimately win the paintball challenge which would lead to her joining the season. She isn’t very bright as she doesn’t know how to read her friends’ feelings let alone a book. However, this would end up being made up by the fact that  she has a strong ambition in proving herself being valuable to others, most notably Marshmallow, who she was initially rivals with before becoming friends with her. While she did well in Season 1 to the point where she placed 6th overall, she ultimately never did well in Season 2 as a result of being eliminated in 14th place (Due to Bow possessing her at one point [Something which wouldn’t be revealed until a later episode] to make her act mean which made the viewers hate her).


In terms of abilities, this dimwitted apple has:

Resilient Immortality

After Apple got stuck in the middle of the ring during the wrestling challenge, she eventually had to have her body sawed in half so they could extract her, with her being still alive from this to the point where she’s still able to move around.

Fourth Wall Awareness

At the end of Season 1’s finale, Apple saw the number 2 on the ground while she was alone on Idiotic Island 2, where she proceeded to question what 2 meant, before looking at the camera and winking at it. Truth be told, this was meant to be the teaser for the much better Season 2.

Regeneration

At one point, Knife ended up kicking a soccer ball at her in the mouth which ended up chipping her teeth in the process, yet just 48 seconds later, her teeth are back to normal. 

Resistances

Bow

Making her first appearance in a random advertisement about chairs, Bow is a dimwitted valley girl stereotype who used to be very obsessed with chairs, though her love for them would eventually fade away later on. In spite of her idiotic moments such as thinking that a lasso would always tie people up when thrown because of her seeing them being used in movies, Bow is actually a kind friend, particularly towards Marshmallow. Bow was never originally a part of the competition as her appearance was out of nowhere, yet she would somehow manage to be a part of the rejoin voting for a chance to be in the game, albeit she ended up failing to get enough votes to join the game as the viewers ended up favoring Paper over her. Despite failing to get enough votes, however, Bow ended up joining the cast anyways as a result of A.D.A.M. telling MePhone to let her on the show because of how funny she was, much to MePhone’s dismay due to him finding her annoying. She would actually go on to do quite well, placing 5th in the season overall. 


However, the moment she got eliminated, MePhone knew that he never wanted her to come back, and so he proceeded to trap Bow inside of a metal box, something which would end up causing her to become feral overtime which eventually led to her breaking out of the metal box in her feral state and ruin Taco’s chance of winning Season 1. While she would eventually be restored back to her normal state through being exposed to a chair, she would end up being trapped in a metal box again to turn back into her feral state in an attempt to stop MePhone5 from killing MePhone4, something which ended up proving to be for nothing as MePhone4S would end up shooting her, MePhone4, and MePhone5 down the Crappy Cliff and into the water below, where both MePhones’ bodies exploded with Bow in the epicenter of it, killing her. Normally, MePhone would have the ability to resurrect his creations through MeLife, but because his original body was the one that got the notification to revive Bow and that his current body (MePhone4S’ body) never got the notification, Bow was essentially permanently killed off, unable to be recovered.


Eventually, Bow would then find herself within the MeAfterlife as a result of being permanently killed off, where she would do the Red Line Game in an attempt to return to life. She ended up managing to successfully reach the finish, albeit at the same time the red line ended up hitting her. As a result, Bow ended up becoming a ghost within the Purgatory Mansion, being rendered unable to escape it due to her being blocked by a forcefield as well as now being vulnerable to light. Later on, Bow would then get to encounter Marshmallow again while she and the other remaining contestants were in the midst of doing a challenge at the Purgatory Mansion, where Marshmallow admitted to being responsible for causing her death, yet Bow was pretty much quick to forgive her as she was happy to have a tail. Eventually, Marshmallow would then proceed to quit the show where she and Apple would proceed to live with Bow at the Purgatory Mansion, happy that they could finally be reunited.


Now let’s see what coolness she has in her abilities…

Fourth Wall Awareness

In her literal first appearance, Bow straight up talks to the viewers to advertise her chairs to them. Later on, after she turned into a ghost, she proceeded to grab the top of the screen before pulling it down to have it transition to another scene.

Summoning

Back when she was in love with chairs, Bow was able to summon them either out of thin air with a snap or by simply just grabbing them from offscreen.

Elasticity

At one point while she was grabbing a chair from offscreen, Bow extended her arms to around twice their usual length to grab said chair.

Bodily Weaponry

After becoming feral, Bow ended up turning her teeth and fingers razor-sharp.

Incorporeality, Intangibility, and Undead Immortality

I mean… just look at her, she’s a ghost. You know, the very entities that are spiritual representations of dead people who cannot be interacted with through conventional physical means? Come on, this is common sense. In addition, Bow can also turn others intangible to make them phase through solid objects.

Flight

Ever since Bow died and became a ghost, she now gained the ability to fly. Like, this is what she is literally seen doing all of the time whenever we see her in her ghost form.

Non-Physical Interaction

Being a ghost herself, Bow can physically interact with other ghosts.

Social Influencing

Seen throughout the entire challenge in Let Er’ R.I.P., Bow was able to scare everyone out of the Purgatory Mansion. This happens to be so potent that Test Tube straight up shattered and died of fear upon seeing her.

Invisibility

Bow was once able to make herself invisible to stop Marshmallow from seeing her while she was dealing with Apple.

Possession

As a ghost, Bow is able to possess objects and even people to take control of them, the latter of which she’s able to make kill themselves via making them explode from the inside.

Sound Manipulation

Being a scary ghost, Bow can scream so loud that she emits a shockwave powerful enough to send people flying back.

Limited Teleportation

Bow is able to teleport to any part of the Purgatory Mansion at any time. Of course, she can only teleport within the confines of the mansion as she’s unable to use it to get through the barrier that’s preventing her from leaving the Purgatory Mansion.

Telekinesis

Initially introduced as an ability only seen in a comic where she telekinetically lifts up some snowballs with the point of a hand, Bow would start to use this in the actual show where she uses it to lift other people up.

Resistances

  • Pain Manipulation: Bow has withstood getting hit multiple times by the Fist Thingy, yet despite this, she laughed off every hit like it was nothing to the point where she would tell MePhone to hit her again.

  • Existence Erasure: Even though Bow was a creation of MePhone4, she was never deleted from existence after Me got unplugged which caused everything MePhone had created with MeLife to be deleted.

Pickle

Known for being the first person to jump off of the Crappy Cliff in the first challenge of the series, Pickle is laid back and sweet, but he tends to be an idiot. Despite his claim that he’s had loads of experience jumping off of cliffs, he still ended up falling into the elephant feces, and he can also be colorblind as seen where he called a charred Marshmallow blue even though she was black. Even though he’s idiotic, however, he still shows care for his friends. Pickle actually performed very well in Season 1, managing to place 4th overall in that season, though he would never come back to compete in any season after that.

Taco

Initially presented as an armless lemon-spitting idiot who claimed herself to have an IQ of 7 and known for her SOUR CREAM catchphrase, Taco was actually beloved by the viewers because of this, so much so that it caused her to actually get to the finale with OJ. Eventually, she managed to pull far ahead against OJ to the point where she was already near the finish line, but just before she could cross it, a feral Bow ended up attacking her which caused her to be distracted long enough for OJ to catch up, ultimately causing Taco to lose her chance of winning and placing 2nd in the season because of this. As a result, Taco would reveal her true colors: that idiotic personality as well as her armless nature was a complete lie, for the truth was that she was an intelligent, manipulative, mischievous, and evil character who acted like an idiot throughout Season 1 as a way to manipulate the viewers into voting her to make it far into the game all so she could take the million dollar prize for herself. Knowing that her true personality has been revealed, she would ultimately go into hiding while everyone else was distracted, never to be seen again for a good while.


Eventually, Season 2 came around, and at one point in the middle of the season, Microphone would walk into a forest where she would unexpectedly encounter Taco, the latter still being determined to get that prize to make up for her sudden robbing in the last season. She may not have been a contestant in Season 2, but with this opportunity, Taco would proceed to convince Microphone that she would help her, and in exchange, Microphone would give Taco half of the prize money assuming if Microphone won the season. Microphone would ultimately agree to let Taco help her, and for many episodes, Taco would guide Microphone on what she needs to do in order to win while also still trying to hide herself from everyone else, with some of these instructions she gave to Microphone involving her hurting contestants which Microphone was heavily against. Unfortunately for Taco, her bond with Microphone would end up crashing down as Microphone would end up quitting the competition on her own terms in order to stop being influenced by Taco, which would ultimately lead to Taco making the risky decision in confronting everyone herself and taking over a challenge involving telling truths, which would ultimately not end well for Taco as upon being told to face her own truth, her body would shatter and die. While she eventually got revived afterwards, Taco knew that she was ready to start over with everyone, something which she knew wouldn’t be very easy as everyone obviously hates her for her actions. Her apologies to everyone would ultimately be unacceptable for the most part because of what she has done in the past that changed everyone’s perception of her, but eventually, she would manage to redeem herself overtime as she would slowly but surely be welcomed back into the society. Since being given her freedom, she would go on to become a waiter at the Reality Restaurant where she tries to seat all of the guests who walk in, but when it was announced that Inanimate Insanity was returning, she would ultimately join that season alongside Microphone, allowing the two to finally work with each other again on good terms and without Taco needing to hide herself, with Taco even showing signs of improving herself in that season as she now values honesty more than winning, and she still competes in that season to this day.


Now, let’s see what abilities make this British accented liar the sour cream of the crop.

Social Influencing

Given how she was programmed by MePhone to be deceptive, it’s natural that Taco is able to trick others for her mischievous needs by pretending to be an idiot for an entire season just to make the viewers like her more. This wouldn’t only be used for Season 1, as she also used this in Season 2 successfully convince Microphone to help her in exchange for Microphone giving half of the prize money to Taco if she wins the season, which would ultimately lead to them having a good bond with each other.

Hammerspace

Taco can apparently fit 33 lemons into her mouth at once.

Attack Reflection

A rather weird ability she showed while being idiotic, she can straight up catch projectiles with her mouth before spitting them back at her attackers.

Elasticity

Taco has a long tongue that she can use to grab onto others.

OJ

Prideful and assertive, OJ was initially seen as cruel to others, but as soon as he befriended Paper (Who would later become his boyfriend), he started to become a kinder person over time. This, combined with how he formed many alliances with others, would ultimately allow him to end up winning Season 1 out of sheer luck as a result of Taco being distracted from getting attacked by Bow. Upon getting his well-earned prize money, OJ would eventually use it to create Hotel OJ, where he allowed all of the contestants to live within it for free. Despite this, he has gotten overwhelmed from working overtime to manage his hotel to the point where he started to struggle and feel miserable, but nonetheless, he wanted to get things done fast. Eventually, he would be given the chance to temporarily host Season 2 for one episode after managing to sue MePhone and get him arrested for mistreating the eliminated contestants, where he proceeded to trick all of the contestants into cleaning up his hotel which made them think it was a challenge when it wasn’t. 


Afterwards, OJ would manage to compete in Season 3, where he showed concern for his hotel but would try to force himself to become a leader to his team. Unfortunately for OJ, he would end up getting eliminated early as a result of the immunity votes saving Yin-Yang from getting eliminated which made OJ get eliminated instead for having the 2nd most votes, causing him to place 16th overall in that season, and since being eliminated, he decided to go back to his hotel to manage it once more which made him miss his opportunity to potentially rejoin due to him not being interested in the competition. Eventually, following Me being unplugged, Hotel OJ would get deleted, which meant that OJ was out of the job, but ever since he was given his freedom, he would proceed to become one of the 3 major leaders of the OSC (Organization of Sensible Careers, not Object Show Community lol) to ensure that order, safety, and cooperation is maintained.

Tissues

Now moving on over to the Season 2 debuters, let’s talk about our first boot of Season 2, Tissues. Being programmed to always be sick, Tissues has the tendency to sneeze a lot uncontrollably, yet despite this, he desperately wants to be social with others. As said before, Tissues got out dead last in Season 2, which would be the only season he competed in as he wouldn’t really come back to compete again since which kinda sucks because as a first boot of a season, he could’ve worked much better than Lightbulb.


Now, let’s talk about his abilities.

Condishawn

Being programmed to always be sick, Tissues possesses something known as a “Condishawn” which causes symptoms such as muscle spasms, triple migraines, violent nausea, uncontrollable heat waves, toothaches, vertigo, vertistop, vanishing fingerprints, and temporary blindness. The Condishawn happens to be so potent that it’s been shown to straight up infect MePhone4 who is a technological being made of inorganic parts.


Fun fact: Had Tissues not been the first boot of Season 2, his Condishawn would’ve actually gained new symptoms in every episode he would’ve survived in in a way that these new symptoms would’ve actually helped him in challenges.

Danmaku

Tissues can sneeze so fast that it causes him to rapidly shoot snot on all sides.

Resistances

  • Fire Manipulation: Tissues isn’t bothered by his uncontrollable heat waves symptom from his Condishawn which causes his entire body to be set on fire.

  • Limited Disease Manipulation: Due to having the Condishawn since he was created, he’s been able to carry it around for as long as he can remember to the point where he states that its symptoms aren’t so bad for him.

  • Pain Manipulation: Even the worst symptoms of the Condishawn such as triple migraines and headaches are inconveniences that Tissues isn’t bothered by.

Cherries

There’s an old saying that two heads are better than one, so why not bring this concept to life literally? When Cherries first appeared, they were presented as 2 twin cherries with their own bodies that possess the same brain that is their stem. They may seem cute from the outside, but from the inside, they are mischievous troublemakers who love to prank others, though they ended up going too far once when they ended up sending Marshmallow to space. Since then, they’ve stuck to nice pranks that would result in positivity. Because of their actions of sending Marshmallow to space, they were ultimately made the second boot of Season 2 which made them place 19th overall, though they would eventually get to compete again in Season 4 where they are still competing in that season to this day.


Now, let’s see what these mischievous twins have in store…

Multiple Selves

Cherries are literally 2 cherries that each have their own body.

Elasticity

Cherries have extendable legs that allow them to step onto the top of a rock climbing wall from near the bottom with ease.

Trophy

Being the most competitive contestant to the point of being a jock, it’s no mystery that Trophy was programmed to be just that as a result of his appearance being that of a gold trophy. Yet, he can also be an arrogant, aggressive, and cruel person such as when he blackmailed Knife into doing his work or else he would reveal his love for his Dora Doll. As a result of this personality, he would ultimately get eliminated in his debut season and place 18th overall. However, he would eventually come back to compete in Season 4, where he is still competing in that season to this day.

Box

Box is a box… I don’t know what else to sa-


…wait, Box was actually ALIVE!? Truth be told, this shy girl was once alive until she fell into a pond one day and drowned before MePhone could be given the chance to make a MeLife icon for her, which meant that any time he attempted to revive Box, all he could revive was her lifeless corpse. Although she does eventually manage to get revived for good by the end of Season 2, that was already after MePhone lost his MeLife abilities, so she’s staying as a corpse for this fight for the sake of plot, which sucks because I actually found her cool when she was alive, and this lifeless form here is just your typical literal inanimate object stereotypical character that I fucking hate because they literally survive over the actually developing characters by doing nothing because they can’t do anything at all. Now, in theory, Box could do the Red Line Game to get herself revived, but she never chose to do it until the rest of the contestants showed up within the MeAfterlife, meaning that the chance she becomes alive again in the middle of the fight is slim to none. 


Box’s corpse surprisingly managed to last further than some alive contestants in both seasons it was in, reaching 17th place in Season 2 and 15th place in Season 3. Eventually, after being revived and given her freedom, she would go on to become a safety enforcer to ensure everyone is safe and away from harm, though by the time it was announced that Inanimate Insanity would be brought back, she actually decided to compete in the new season where it marks her first time competing alive, where she still competes in it to this day.

Dough

In order to trick the contestants into believing that Bow was back, MePhone decided to create what he calls Bow’s alleged brother, Dough. He would’ve been awarded as a new team member to the team who won the soccer challenge had it not been for Yin-Yang being a pure dick and eating him to death before MePhone could make a MeLife icon for him, so he’s yet another permanently dead character. Though, he would end up appearing within the Purgatory Mansion  as a ghost, with it being implied that he played the Red Line Game in the MeAfterlife only to finish it at the same time he was hit by the red line. That said, when it comes to his abilities, he pretty much has the same powers as Bow’s ghost form by virtue of the both of them being ghosts, so go refer to Bow’s section for all of his abilities.

Yin-Yang

In a similar vein to Cherries, Yin-Yang is considered to be 2 entities sharing 1 body named Yin and Yang, the former of which being considered to be the morally evil black half that does evil things and the latter of which being considered to be the morally good white half that does good things. I know you might be asking if it’s supposed to be the other way around (Yin being good and Yang being bad), and you’re absolutely right! For an actual yin-yang, that is. The Yin-Yang in Inanimate Insanity has the roles of the 2 swapped for some reason. Anyways, for obvious reasons, the two halves often tend to fight each other to the point of spreading chaos when doing so, though they have managed to get along with each other over time as the series went on. Although they did rather poor in Season 2 to the point where they placed 15th in that season, they would later go on to compete in Season 3 where they would do much better (Mostly because the viewers kept saving them in every immunity vote which ultimately led to MePhone discontinuing the immunity vote altogether as Yin-Yang got immunity 6 times) to the point where they ended up placing 6th overall.


Being the good and evil entities sharing one body, Yin-Yang has the following abilities:

Multiple Selves

As stated before, Yin-Yang is literally a good entity and an evil entity sharing a single body.

Limited Body Puppetry

Usually, Yin will take control of the black part of the body while Yang will take control of the white part of the body. However, when necessary, either of the two can allow the other to take full control of the body.

Acrobatics

While separated from each other, Yang was able to jump through a ceiling.

Bodily Weaponry

In certain scenes, Yin-Yang has been able to gain sharp teeth and sharp nails.

Fire Manipulation

While separated from each other, Yang was able to create a fiery background behind himself.


Resistances

Cheesy

Originally appearing as an occasional cameo in certain episodes of Season 1, Cheesy would become an actual contestant in Season 2, where he would serve as the jokester who wants people to laugh at the jokes he makes even in the worst possible situations. Despite this, however, people seem to find him annoying especially since many of the jokes he makes aren’t funny, and overtime, Cheesy would try to give up comedy, yet his programmed personality just keeps making him have a habit of making puns. Within the competition, he placed 13th in Season 2 overall, which goes to show that he couldn’t cheese the competition. Though, he just came back to compete in Season 4, and he’s still competing to this day.


So, what abilities does this cheesy comedian have?

Fourth Wall Awareness

In a commercial break MePhone threw in, Cheesy was talking to the viewers to tell them about his Minecraft server, Cheesecraft, to the point where he tells the viewers that the link to his server is in the description. Unfortunately, that link isn’t there anymore.

Soap

Introduced as a soap bottle who loves to keep things clean with her trusty cleaning supplies, Soap serves as an efficient and organized leader who wants to make sure that everything is in order, even going on to help others, giving her friends some useful advice, and improving herself as a person overall. Despite this, however, she has the tendency to keep things sanitary as a result of being a germophobe, which can cause her to unintentionally cause messes herself. Her initial debut season had her get eliminated in the middle of its run to place 12th overall, and once she was given her freedom, she eventually got a job at the Reality Restaurant as a waiter. Eventually, she would come back to compete in Season 4 where she is still competing in that season to this day.

Fan

Programmed as a stereotypical superfan who knows a lot about Inanimate Insanity’s history, Fan managed to achieve his dream of becoming a contestant for the show. He is often known for blogging about his life in the competition to the point where he’s often seen with his electronics, which can make him unaware of what is happening around him as a result of this habit. Despite this, he’s been known to be strategic and imaginative when it comes to doing challenges, and when he’s not distracted by blogging, he has been shown to be very observant to the point where he’s able to build his own theories based on his surroundings and the past, most notably when he made a realization about the missing Shimmer Egg just by noticing how some missing mountains to the point where it led to him correctly believing that MePhone had the missing Shimmer Egg. In terms of the competition, he actually did pretty well in Season 2 where he placed 7th overall, but then he suddenly did the worst in Season 3 to the point where he would be dead last at 18th place in that season. While he would never compete again in Season 4, he actually ended up becoming the host of that season which was made thanks to him believing that it will make others happy.


In terms of abilities, the biggest fanatic has:

Flight

Being a paper fan, Fan is able to open himself up to glide through the air. Additionally, he’s also able to fly just from being spun around fast enough.

Regeneration

Fan once had a soccer ball pierce through his body which left a large hole in him, yet the hole is nowhere to be seen just a few scenes later.

Resistances

Microphone

Making her first appearance as a small cameo in the Season 1 finale, Microphone was presented as a loud and friendly contestant who wants to make herself heard by others. While often misunderstood and not very good in keeping her secrets due to shouting out whatever is in her mind, she still manages to stand proud of herself. Eventually, she would encounter Taco in a forest, who offered to help her in the competition in exchange for half of the prize money if Microphone won Season 2, which she eventually accepted. However, after realizing that Taco was just using her to cause trouble through recklessly hurting others, Microphone couldn’t take it anymore and proceeded to voluntarily quit Season 2 just as she was doing well, placing 6th in the process. Despite her falling out with Taco, however, she did end up forgiving the latter for her actions, and when they eventually got to compete again in Season 4, they got put on the same team where they could finally get to work with each other again without any malicious intentions from Taco, and the both of them are still competing in that season to this day.


Being the loud and proud one, she has the following abilities: 

Sound Manipulation

As a living microphone, she is naturally able to emit sounds that can be loud enough to push things away from her.

Enhanced Senses

By turning the knob on her back, Microphone is able to hear sounds that are supposed to be either quiet or far away much more easily.

Resistances

Test Tube

If there’s one thing Test Tube is known for, it’s her specialty: science. Being regarded as the most intelligent contestant in the series, Test Tube has spent her time creating many complex inventions within her secret laboratory and attempting to solve solutions even if they might be impossible. As a result of this intelligence, she has been able to build a rocket in seconds and even straight up invent time travel. Despite this intelligence, however, she initially had a problem in socializing with others as all she cared for at the time was her love for science, but thanks to creating friendships overtime (Especially with Fan), she has been able to overcome this problem. If there is one weakness to note about her, however, it’s that she can get drunk if she loses all of the green liquid inside of her which can cause her to lose her focus. Speaking of the green liquid inside of her, while it’s unknown what it is, it’s been heavily theorized to be antifreeze. Competition-wise, Test Tube actually did pretty good in Season 2 as she placed 5th there, but when she returned in Season 3, she ended up getting out around the middle of the season, placing 11th. She never went back to compete in Season 4, but she did end up becoming the co-host of that season where she serves in helping Fan with the competition.


In the name of science, Test Tube has plenty to unpack.

Equipment

Being the brilliant scientist she is, Test Tube has made many inventions in her free time, with some of these inventions even being used to help her in challenges. Such gadgets she has made include:

Regeneration

Test Tube once had her entire body charred and cracked as a result of going through multiple traps in MePhone’s hedge maze, and while she did pass out afterwards, she ended up regenerating from this back to perfect condition in the next episode. Speaking of that next episode, she got cracks on her body while being apprehended at one point, but by nighttime, she ended up healing those cracks completely.

Acrobatics

She did a cartwheel while trying to dodge beams shooting at her.

Light Manipulation

The green liquid inside of her is able to make whatever it touches turn green, something Test Tube decided to use to her advantage by tricking Salt and Pepper into believing that they were in a pool with a venomous radioactive crab.

Hacking

As Test Tube is pretty much known for building inventions, she’s also known to hack into them, something which she has done when she lifted Nickel’s ban from using the Pic-Nix Table.

Minor Time Manipulation

While she was in the middle of panicking upon realizing that the boat she was on was about to crash, Test Tube ended up briefly pausing time to make a realization. She never really moves from her original position when doing this, and it’s more so something she only did for gag purposes.

Resistances

Suitcase

A kind and considerate contestant, Suitcase initially wanted everyone to act kind to each other, though because she was in a competition where conflicts were very common, the other contestants ended up finding her annoying, as helpful she can be at carrying people’s things and other tools within herself. Since then, she’s become more independent of herself, calling out the bad behavior in others and doing what is right regardless of the conflict made. However, she still shows a great amount of guilt when doing this as it has led her to emotionally hurting others and ruining her friendships with them, which has caused her to feel anxious in herself to the point where she experiences hallucinations as a result of trying to not make herself feel like a burden. 


Even with these conflicts, combined with the fact that she was physically weak, she still managed to push forward and get to the finale with Knife, where the two of them would try to stop Cobs, which would ultimately end in them being deleted from existence once Toilet unplugged Me. Afterwards, Suitcase would find herself in the MeAfterlife, where she and the other contestants would get the Light Shimmer Egg and escape through the Red Line Game. Upon being revived, Cobs would end up taking what he believed to be the Light Shimmer Egg from Suitcase, happy that he got to succeed in his goal of getting the egg… until Suitcase revealed that the egg is fake and that it was a bomb generated from the Pic-Nix Table in the MeAfterlife, causing the bomb to explode in front of Cobs and kill him, cementing the win for not just the challenge, but the entire season for Suitcase. Since then, Suitcase was given her freedom alongside everyone else, where she would go on to create a society with everyone, with her also becoming one of the 3 major leaders of the OSC to ensure that order, safety, and cooperation is maintained.

Resistances

Blueberry

Moving on to our very first boot of Season 3, Blueberry is a gloomy nihilist who hardly has any self confidence in himself, often being lazy and apathetic to the point where he hardly even cared by the fact that he was the first boot of Season 3. However, in certain times, Blueberry can actually feel motivated to actually do something, which was most prominently shown during the second rejoin challenge of Season 3 where he faked his own death in order to send all of the contestants on a wild goose chase of a challenge on who killed Blueberry, causing him to ultimately be the one to rejoin the game for another chance at winning. Despite this, he ended up remaining lazy, having the remaining contestants do things for him like they’re slaves to him, so much so that when he got put up for elimination after accidentally nearly killing everyone for making oatmeal raisin cookies which caused the area around them to burst into flames, he was ultimately eliminated just a single episode after he rejoined, placing 5th overall.

Lifering

Originating from the episode Tri Your Best where he saved Box’s (lifeless) life by getting her out of a pool before she drowned, Lifering would eventually go on to debut as an actual contestant in Season 3. Being the energetic lifeguard he is, Lifering often cares for the safety and protection of everyone to ensure that they don’t get injured, including his teammates. While he never really did well in Season 3 to the point where he placed 17th overall, he eventually went on to compete in Season 4 where he is still competing to this day.

Tea Kettle

Often seen as a caring mother figure to everyone around her, Tea Kettle often knows what’s best to the point where she views her team as a family. As with any stereotypical mother, Tea Kettle often makes food for her team to ensure that they are never hungry, and she also has a short temper. She also just so happens to be very cursed to look at whenever she’s facing directly at the front. Tea Kettle didn’t do very well in her debut season, as she ended up placing 14th overall. Eventually, after being set free, she would go on to become a chef at the Reality Restaurant, though she would eventually return to compete in Season 4 where she is still competing in it to this day. 


In terms of abilities, this mother is cooking up:

Water Manipulation and Temperature Manipulation

Any time Tea Kettle gets into an angry state, she starts to heat herself up to the point where steam starts to escape from her sprout.

Clover

As the lucky first fan we get to see behind the curtains at the start of Season 3, Clover is a cheerful, carefree, and happy-go-lucky girl who possesses an extreme amount of good luck that she can be unaware of at times, which has often caused everything to go in her favor while everyone else is given misfortune. Despite possessing this very powerful ability, however, Clover would eventually start to see that her good luck is a curse when she got to witness one moment of her luck causing Box’s body to get injured to the point where it became automatically eliminated from the game, causing Clover to start feeling scared that she would hurt others with her luck when she never wanted to. Eventually, all of this would change when she would wish that she would no longer be lucky, which would lead to her luck causing an event where she and a majority of the remaining contestants would be crushed to death by a falling tower and revived into the wrong bodies, which would prove to be successful as Clover could now get to experience what it is like to not be lucky. At least, it would only be for a moment until everyone including her eventually died again and she was revived back into her own body. 


Ultimately, knowing that she herself was a danger to everyone, she proceeded to get herself out of the game and fly off into the skies with her butterflies. Despite this, she would actually compete in a challenge to try to rejoin the game later on, but ultimately failed in doing so, though she did manage to bring wise words to Nickel about how he should deal with his conflict with Balloon. Season 3 is the only season Clover has competed in, and despite her good luck ability that could’ve given the potential for her to make it very far, she ironically placed 13th overall which is supposed to be a bad luck number. Since then, once she became free from the competition, she would go on to become a tour guide where she would show many MePhone creations who recently escaped the MeAfterlife many of the society’s major locations.


Being one of the more haxy contestants, Clover is lucky to have the following abilities:

Supernatural Luck and Probability Manipulation

If her appearance wasn’t obvious, Clover’s most iconic gimmick is the fact that she possesses a huge amount of luck (As acknowledged by other contestants such as Cabby and Nickel) that often benefits her in such a way that anything she hopes to happen will happen, as evident when Nickel made this very realization while he had a part of Clover’s luck. Sometimes, these lucky moments can still occur even when she isn’t aware of them due to her obliviousness. That said, with her luck, it has allowed her (And others with her luck) to do the following:

Power Bestowal

Just before leaving Paradise shortly after getting eliminated from the game, Clover would proceed to pass on a part of her luck to Nickel by wishing him luck for the rest of his life, causing Nickel to start having lucky moments as a result of said given luck. This given luck, however, can become lost if the person she bestowed her luck to dies and gets revived.

Animal Manipulation

Being a happy girl, Clover is able to communicate to butterflies which are able to listen to her commands, and she also once stated that she has a strong connection with jellyfish.

Elasticity

Clover can apparently grab people’s mouths to turn them upside down, literally to the point where their teeth and tongues also get moved in the process. What’s she trying to do, revert everything back to the shitty style of the first 2 episodes of the series?

Air Manipulation and Flight

As a side effect of her luck, gusts of wind are able to lift Clover up in the air at convenient times to save her from disasters.

Fire Manipulation

When Test Tube had her consciousness transferred into Clover’s body, she ended up burning Bot’s file just by touching it as a result of Clover’s luck in order to hide the truth from Bot that they weren’t really Bow.

Limited Technology Manipulation

When MePhone attempted to load the elimination votes during one of the elimination ceremonies, the loading would suddenly fail out of nowhere, with this being revealed to be Clover’s luck preventing the elimination votes from being fully loaded in an attempt to prolong Clover from getting eliminated. However, Clover would end up allowing the votes to be fully loaded which ended up causing the votes to fully load this time.

Plant Manipulation

At one point when Clover was walking around Paradise, she ended up turning an entire dry wasteland into a utopia of rainbow perfection with just her mere presence, to the point where she would end up being called a Green Goddess.

Goo

He may be a squishy and sticky blob who can make nonsensical analogies that can make him have a hard time striking a conversation with others, but all Goo wants to bring is joy to the competition and befriend others with his energetic and upbeat personality. Despite this, he can be prone to anxiety to the point where he panics under pressure, but he’s able to relieve this stress by surrounding himself in pinecones. He’s also surprisingly good at speaking backwards. In terms of the competition, Goo didn’t do well in Season 3 and ended up placing 12th overall, but now he’s back competing again in Season 4, where he’s still competing in that season to this day.


In terms of abilities, this blob is lucky to be sticking to the following abilities:

Elasticity

As a relatively stretchy blob, Goo is able to stretch himself long enough to act as a slingshot to fling others upwards.

Shapeshifting

Being a living blob of goo, Goo is able to morph is body in such a way that he is able to melt himself to cause others to slip on him upon them stepping on him, puff himself up to serve as a cushion for catching falling people, and even extract a certain amount of goo in a certain spot out of his body that can resemble an arm.

Surface Scaling

Being a rather sticky blob, Goo is able to crawl on walls without being at any risk of falling off of them.

Absorption

Unsurprisingly for a blob, Goo is able to absorb whatever is on him into himself, which he can also eject out of himself at any time.

Duplication

If Goo is ever ripped into two, he can make a clone of himself from that split half.

The Floor

So, tell me: what are you standing on right now? If you said the Floor, you are not only absolutely correct, but also that’s who we’re going through next! Often laid back and good-humored, this face on the ground loves to eavesdrop on others, which can lead to them not realizing that they are being overheard by the Floor. However, being a face on the ground can also be detrimental to the Floor as some people might end up stepping on him without realizing that he’s there, which often annoys him. Nonetheless, he’s willing to help those in need in any way he can. When the Floor ultimately got eliminated in Season 3 and placed 10th overall, MePhone was unable to send him to Indefinite Island due to him being connected to the ground, and thus part of Paradise itself, and so he ended up staying which led to him starting to disrupt MePhone’s challenges so much that MePhone would try to make the challenge to get rid of the Floor, something that angered the Floor so much that he attempted to wipe everyone out by making Paradise’s volcano erupt. However, upon being convinced by Bot that he was still himself, the Floor ultimately stopped trying to make the volcano erupt, and since then, he would become MePhone’s new co-host for the rest of the season. Ever since he was given his freedom, he would go on to search for any MePhone creations who have escaped the MeAfterlife, though he would not come back to compete in Season 4.


Now, will his abilities be able to have the high ground?

Teleportation

As his way of getting to places faster, the Floor is able to teleport onto any surface as long as it is the floor, though the further he teleports, the more effort he needs to put into it. Additionally, while the Floor is able to teleport to surfaces that are of higher or lower heights than where he is, he can have a hard time doing so, something which can be taken advantage of by having him struggle to teleport off of an object that is off the ground due to his confusion.

Size Manipulation

Although the Floor is usually a small face on the ground, he can enlarge his face to cover a bigger radius, with his enlarged size having a diameter of nearly 4.46 kilometers.

Enhanced Senses

He may be a face on the ground, but it doesn’t mean he can’t hear, as he can actually hear people who are high up in the sky while he is on the ground.

Earth Manipulation and Magma Manipulation

Thanks to him being the literal floor itself, the Floor is able to cause earthquakes by getting angry, with the potency of this earthquake being enough to threaten a volcano to erupt, something which would need to be at least Magnitude 6 to trigger.

BFR

Because he’s the face on the ground, anything he eats (People included) will be taken underground, with Springy needing to take months to dig himself out of the ground after being eaten by the Floor.

Resistances

Candle

A calm and patient contestant who is known for being a psychic, Candle is often seen meditating as a way to guide herself and others in the right direction. She’s also known to be quite fearless and isn’t afraid to face any worldly dangers, with her even being able to put up a good fight against the Unvitational Committee. Despite being one of the most powerful contestants, however, Candle managed to only place 8th overall in Season 3. After being given her freedom, Candle would eventually go on to become a waiter at the Reality Restaurant, but when it was announced that Inanimate Insanity was returning for a 4th season, she would return to compete in the competition, where she’s still competing in it to this day.


In terms of abilities, she’s focused her mind on:

Fragrance Manipulation

Candle, being a scented candle, possesses a lavender and chamomile scent emitting out of herself, with this scent being able to become stronger whenever she meditates.

Fire Manipulation

On the wick on top of her head at all times is a lit flame, something which she’s able to use to burn things that make contact with it.

Hive Mind

By forming a circle with multiple people and meditating, Candle is able to link all of their minds into one.

Precognition

Being programmed to be a psychic, Candle has the ability to see the future hours in advance, with this allowing her to foresee that Yin-Yang wasn’t going to get eliminated, foreshadow her own team’s loss in the cartoon making challenge, and foresee today going to be a day of betrayal which would eventually turn out to be Silver Spoon betraying the New Old Thinkers.

Information Analysis and Extrasensory Perception

As a psychic, Candle is able to read others’ auras just by looking at them with her third eye chakra that allows her to see into the depths of one’s soul, allowing her to gather what their personalities and weaknesses are like. The caveat to this, however, is that she isn’t able to read the aura of those who do not have souls due to them not possessing auras, as proven when she tried to read Bot’s aura.

Inner-Flame

By tapping into a whimsical superpower at any time, Candle is able to let her Inner-Flame take over her body, an entity that has a mind of its own that has the potential to consume her, though she is overall on nice terms with it. Within this form, Candle gains the following abilities:

Bot

When Boaty exploded at the start of Season 3, a body ended up shooting out of it which was then revealed to be… BOW!? Upon this reveal, everyone appeared to be shocked at how she was alive when she should’ve been permanently dead and living at the Purgatory Mansion, but nonetheless, she still ended up being welcomed to compete in Season 3, Afterwards, things would end up continuing as normal until “Bow” would soon start to realize the truth the moment she seemingly pulled a piece of metal off of her own body: she was never Bow at all. Rather, she ended up being a robotic replica of the original Bow built by Fan and Test Tube as a way for her to have someone to care for. “Bow”, however, refused to accept the fact that she was made to be someone she truly isn’t, and so, with the help of Test Tube, she decided to ultimately become the person she actually wanted to be. 


No longer would she be called “Bow” or be related to anything related to her, as she, or rather, they, would go on to give themselves a new voice, new pronouns, and change their name to Bot, successfully fulfilling their goal of truly becoming themselves based on their liking. Even though Season 3 would be the only season Bot would get to compete in, they actually did pretty well in it, placing 7th overall all because they had to have the most bullshittingly unfair elimination in the entire series. Eventually, they would later go on to become a co-host for Season 4 where they would assist Fan in hosting his competition.


Now, unlike the other contestants, Bot was never made by MePhone, but rather, they were made by Test Tube, meaning that MePhone cannot inherit any of their abilities due to not being their creator. That said, in terms of abilities, they were built to have:

Elasticity

As a rather iconic trait of them ever since Test Tube upgraded them to have this, Bot is able to extend their legs to tall heights, with the highest they’ve been shown to extend their legs being up to the height of Paradise’s volcano.

Regeneration

In literally just their first few seconds of screentime in the entire series, Bot was able to immediately regenerate from their body being completely covered blackened by fire.

Sound Manipulation

As Bot was trying to become their own character and stopped trying to pretend to be Bow, they decided to go through a voice processing update to change their voice into that of a shy girl which honestly sounds very cute to the point where it’s better than their original voice.

The Rest of Base Bow’s Abilities (Debatable)

Given the fact that Fan and Test Tube built Bot to be just like Bow, it can be presumed that Bot has the rest of base Bow’s abilities, albeit they have yet to demonstrate these.

Resistances

Silver Spoon

He might look rich and loyal, but Silver Spoon isn’t really either of those traits. Often rude, uninterested in competing, and seeing everyone as being below him in power, Silver Spoon only wants people to recognize him, and surprisingly, he actually managed to make it to the final 3 of Season 3 where he placed 3rd overall. He wouldn’t come back to compete in Season 4, however.


You may as well bow down to thy ruler, for his abilities shall be revealed now!

Fourth Wall Awareness and Minor Time Manipulation

When Silver Spoon lost his balance and fell off of the lift he was on towards his team’s Mile High Pie, he managed to pause time just to go talk to the viewers, albeit he never got to finish his sentence before time resumed just seconds later. Given the fact that Silver Spoon never really moves from his position after he stopped time, his time stop is considered to be more gag-based than it’s really anything combat applicable.

Inner-Flame

In the episode A Jury of Your Fears, Silver Spoon actually managed to achieve his Inner-Flame form, thus giving him all of the powers and abilities given through the Inner-Flame state, which I already went over in Candle’s section, so go read that if you want to know his abilities in this form.

Cabby

Serving as the prideful living database for everyone and everything, Cabby strives to document everything she sees, observing her surroundings very carefully so she can write them down in her files where she wouldn’t forget about them. Speaking of forgetting, Cabby has long-term memory loss which causes her to forget things which is why she has her files around at all times. Despite her forgetfulness, however, she’s one of the smartest contestants on the show to the point where she rivals Test Tube in intelligence. Given that she carries files about everyone, it isn’t much of a surprise that she will allow others to see what notes she took in her files, just as long as they ask for permission. This is where her value in trust comes in, as she wants to build connections with others as much as she can so she can get far in the game, and she is willing to eliminate those she doesn’t find very trustworthy. Apart from this, Cabby also cares about the condition of others, hence why she wanted to make as many friends as possible.


Cabby once tried building a bond with Test Tube to the point where she allowed her to hold onto her files. However, Test Tube would eventually betray her when she managed to convince the rest of the contestants on her team to vote out Cabby, causing her to be taken to Indefinite Island. Luckily, she would end up competing in a challenge 3 episodes after her elimination for a chance to rejoin, where she ultimately won the challenge and got back into the game, even managing to get Test Tube, the very person who got her eliminated initially, eliminated from the game as a way of retribution. Since her rejoin, Cabby would continue to build more bonds and gain more trust, which would eventually lead to her winning Season 3 entirely. As a reward for winning, Cabby ended up being given her very own library where she got to store all of her files within it for everyone to enjoy. Since then, following MePhone giving everyone their freedom, Cabby would become one of the 3 major leaders of the OSC to ensure that order, safety, and cooperation is maintained.


She may be able to store files, but let’s see what abilities she has stored in herself.

Hammerspace

Despite how her bottom drawer doesn’t look very big, it is actually able to somehow fit Bot, Fan, Goo, and Test Tube all at once ala clown car shinanegans, with the latter especially being as tall as Cabby herself.

Elasticity

Cabby once extended her arm to grab Clover from a distance.

Bonesaw

As a character who was recently unveiled in Season 4, Bonesaw served as an employee at the Reality Restaurant who often spoke in third person. He may look intimidating, but he’s always willing to help others, not to mention how he can be friendly with them. He would get to compete for the show for the first time in Season 4, where he’s still competing in it to this day.

Cammy

Debuting as a photographer who was taking photos of MePhone’s competition in Season 3 as well as becoming a member of the Unvitational Committee, Cammy would get to compete on the show for the first time in Season 4. They do not value privacy, which was something programmed into them by MePhone out of his insecurities, and they have the tendency to view MePhone as a God due to him being their creator, which seems to annoy others. They are still competing in that season to this day.

Jack

Debuting as one of the many characters escaping the MeAfterlife at the start of Season 4, Jack would eventually go on to compete in the competition, albeit he would ultimately become the first boot of the season because although he did the best in getting people to guess what word he was associated with, he ended up failing to actually socialize with others properly. What was worse, is that he nearly killed Test Tube when he got angry that he got eliminated to the point where he would ultimately be put on trial for attempted murder, causing the competition to nearly get cancelled for being a bad influence (Only being saved from cancellation because Test Tube insisted that the competition is the only thing that makes Jack and other people happy). Even with this impatient and arrogant attitude, however, he has tried desperately to rejoin the game by helping other teams.

Magnet

Debuting as a customer at the Reality Restaurant, Magnet is a very popular girl who seems to know a lot about everyone, including those she hasn’t talked to in the past. Fitting to her name, Magnet is also a social magnet who often acts very enthusiastically and wants her ideas to be heard, though this has led to her becoming full of herself to the point where she fails to listen to others. She makes her first competition appearance in Season 4, where she still competes in it to this day.


Fun fact: Magnet was originally supposed to be a contestant for Season 3, but she ended up being scrapped in favor of other characters.

Spikey

Originally appearing as a failed debuter for Season 1, Spikey would eventually get to escape the MeAfterlife following the events of the Season 2 finale and become an actual contestant for Season 4. Initially only communicating through heavy breathing back in Season 1, Spikey would evolve beyond that and start speaking more often, albeit he seems to act clueless at times. He is still competing in that season to this day.


Now let’s spike things up a notch to talk about his abilities…

Flight

This image is self-explanatory, so why should I bother explaining… Also, he does this for 99% of the time we see him.

Bodily Weaponry

Being a living spike ball, Spikey naturally has sharp spikes around his body which he’s able to use to stab through objects and people. These ended up being so dangerous that they had to be covered up with soft balls by MeTag in order to stop him from accidentally impaling someone. Buuuuuut… since this happened in Season 4 when MePhone already lost MeLife at this point, he doesn't have those covered up here.

Air Manipulation

If something is pierced through one of his back spikes, Spikey is able to take a deep breath and blow the air out of himself which causes whatever is stuck on his spikes to suddenly get sent flying at high speeds.

Telekinesis

Despite not having any limbs, Spikey was still able to telekinetically pick up a play pamphlet up to his face and turn the pages open to read the contents within it.

Starfruit

As the lead vocalist of Spoiled Lemon, Starfruit would eventually go on to become a contestant in Season 4 as a way to try to grow as a person rather than continuing to be someone only idolized for their endeavors, given the fact that he along with the rest of Spoiled Lemon were initially created by MePhone to act as band performers and nothing more. Despite wanting to grow, however, he unfortunately became the 4th boot of the season and placed 21st overall. Though, there’s still the potential for him to rejoin in the future.

Tapey

Originating as one of the 4 characters who successfully escaped the MeAfterlife at the start of Season 4, Tapey was seen as an observant character who analyzes details carefully and is good at communicating with others. As a living tape recorder, she is able to record audio which she is then able to play back. She served as one of the many newcomers of Season 4’s competition, where she still competes in it to this day.

Teddy Bear

Originally a character from Season 1 who was one of the many failed debuters of that season despite how well she did in the paintball challenge (Through eliminating everyone except for Apple), Teddy Bear would end up being sent to the MeAfterlife at the end of Season 2 following Me being unplugged, though by the start of Season 4, she would ultimately manage to escape the MeAfterlife to eventually become a contestant within Season 4’s competition for real. While she usually acts very aggressive towards others, she has shown moments of feeling remorse for others as evident with her mourning for the loss of the other failed debuters she competed against. She still competes in Season 4 to this day.

The Other Failed Debuters

In the episode A New Stage In The Game, 10 recommended characters were submitted by viewers who won a contest in creating a character with an original personality for a chance to be a debuting contestant in Season 1. While I’ve already spoken about Apple, Spikey, and Teddy in the Contestants section, the other 7 ultimately never got to become contestants in Inanimate Insanity, so much so to the point where some of them straight up got killed off permanently. Due to their short appearances, these characters don’t really have much to talk about, so I’ll just do a lightning round explanation of each of them.

Inani-Mates

Some time prior to the episode Pesty Besties, MePhone created the Inani-Mates through MeLife, which are small flying furry creatures who are cheap Pokemon knock-offs that each have unique appearances based on the remaining contestants of that episode. Whenever an Inani-Mate dies, their bodies will proceed to explode into confetti. These Inani-Mates include:

  • Sprinkles: An inani-mate whose look resembles that of Yin-Yang’s black and white body. 

  • Montgomery: An inani-mate whose look resembles that of Cabby’s rectangular blue body. 

  • N-Slash-A: An inani-mate whose look resembles that of Bot based on their then-pink design. 

  • Tootsy Wootsy: An inani-mate who was assigned to the Floor. It happens to be the most unique out of all of the Inani-Mates, being able to communicate through telepathy as well as shoot purple star projectiles in combat.

  • Utter Filth: An inani-mate who was assigned to Silver Spoon. 

  • Flamina: An inani-mate whose look resembles that of Candle. 

  • Diamond Crusher: An inani-mate whose look resembles that of Paintbrush. 

  • Nickel Jr.: An inani-mate who was assigned to Nickel. It can just so happen to talk and self-destruct its own body to kill itself and get reduced to confetti.

  • Quacky: An inani-mate who was assigned to Balloon.

The Unvitational Committee

Serving as the final antagonists of Season 3, the Unvitational Committee consists of various people who have helped MePhone in the past who aim to get rid of MePhone himself so they can take over his show because they were not satisfied with the way he treated them and the contestants. Even though they were against MePhone initially, a majority of the members ultimately agreed to not kill him in a way that they let him continue hosting. According to Brian Koch, one of the directors for the series, he pretty much implied that all of the Unvitational Committee members were created by MePhone, meaning that they are, in fact, viable support for him. 2 of the members of the Unvitational Committee happen to be Cammy and Sprinkles who I already went over earlier, so let’s talk about the other members.

Walkie Talkie

The leader of the Unvitational Committee. During Season 3, Walkie Talkie would greet eliminated contestants on Indefinite Island upon their arrival. As a creation of MePhone through MeLife, she wanted to help MePhone keep his show going in an attempt to delay his confrontation with Cobs. However, after seeing all of the careless actions of MePhone, it encouraged her to create the Unvitational Committee, where she would proceed to expose MePhone’s plans to everyone and even try to get him killed by throwing him into a volcano if a majority of the Unvitational Committee voted to get him killed. Despite how the votes were 6-5 in favor of not killing MePhone, however, Walkie Talkie was driven mad at this result to the point where she took matters in her own hands as she commanded her Spring-toys to take MePhone and throw him into the volcano anyway. She ended up being taken down before she could get the chance to kill MePhone, but since then, MePhone was able to give her a second chance as she had managed to redeem herself.

Springy

As the other leader of the Unvitational Committee, Springy was created some time prior to the episode Spring On The Breakfast!, in which he was made by MePhone to help him set up his challenge that involved the contestants going through giant Springtastic cereal boxes to reach the end for a chance to win immunity. He seems to have an interest in Bot, as he wanted to have MePhone sell their likeness to make them Springtastic’s new mascot for promotional purposes, more specifically, to make toys based on their and other contestants’ appearance so they can be a part of a collection. Bot would ultimately decline the offer, however, and eventually, Springy got pushed off of the Springtastic Box and into the Floor’s mouth, burying him underground where he would remain there until a few months later when he finally managed to dig himself out to enact his plan to take down MePhone alongside the rest of the Unvitational Committee. 


Initially, he wanted MePhone to die for his careless actions to the point where he even voted to melt him, but after Walkie Talkie was attempting to kill MePhone despite the majority of the votes saying that they never wanted him to be killed, it encouraged Springy to redeem himself by having him go up to Walkie Talkie to try to convince her to not kill MePhone. Eventually, after Spring-Bot attempted to kill MePhone by hurling him into the volcano, Springy would grab Spring-Bot and throw them back up to save them as he fell into the lava and burnt to death… but not before MePhone managed to code a MeLife icon for him which allowed Springy to be revived. Afterwards, Springy would proceed to jump into the sky off of the volcano, never to be seen again… that is, until he ended up being deleted after Me got unplugged where he remains in the MeAfterlife.


In terms of abilities, Springy has the tendency to glitch out whenever he feels excitement, and he can also bounce himself very high into the air thanks to him being a sentient spring.

Camera 2

Debuting at the same time as Cammy in order to take photos of MePhone’s competition, Camera 2 can take photos by hitting the button on the right side of her body, which causes light to be emitted from her lens powerful enough to stun those who look directly into said light. She ended up joining the Unvitational Committee because MePhone wouldn’t allow her and Cammy to invade his privacy, even to the point where she voted for him to get thrown into the volcano. However, this ended up not happening due to the majority of the Unvitational Committee members voting for MePhone to not melt.

Dr. Fizz

Originating in the episode Tragedy at 60 Feet, Dr. Fizz is a sentient can of soda (Ironic given his position) who gives medical evaluations of injured people to ensure that he can find a diagnosis and how to treat them even though that time he did show up, he was treating a literal corpse. Because of the many constant dangers MePhone was giving others on his show, it made him join the Unvitational Committee. However, due to his oath to cause no harm, he felt like killing MePhone was too barbaric and decided to vote to not melt him in the volcano.

Groscer

Originating in the episode The Show Must Go On, Groscer is the founder of the Groscers who wanted to keep a good image of herself to the public. However, after MePhone made a crudely drawn cartoon mocking them on live television combined with the fact that people started submitting machine-made episodes to the Groscers, it encouraged her to join the Unvitational Committee to try to put an end to MePhone’s careless reign. Despite this, she wanted to keep a pristine image of herself, so she chose to vote for MePhone to not be thrown into the volcano.

Tyler Bombard

Originating in the episode The Great Bluish Bake Off, Tyler Bombard is a cork-shaped monster that happened to be living in a vacation home within the middle of the Dessert Desert. While he was annoyed at how Balloon, Cabby, Nickel, and Silver Spoon trespassed near his vacation home, he ended up connecting with everyone and decided to help them reach the Deserted Dessert Island through the tunnel within his vacation home. However, when his island was burnt down because of MePhone who also gave him no royalties for his starring role for a fake home makeover show special, it encouraged him to join the Unvitational Committee. He ended up voting for MePhone to not melt.

Zoetrope

Some time prior to the episode Title TBD, Zoetrope was created by MePhone through MeLife to assist in a challenge where the contestants would create their very own cartoons. Eventually, after Yin-Yang destroyed his Animation Machine which forced him to shop for MePhone’s mediocre pilot to try to make cash, as well as how MePhone made a video about what ruined Zoetrope that gained 1.5 million views, it made him join the Unvitational Committee. However, knowing that he didn’t want to ruin his reputation any further, he chose to not kill MePhone by voting for him to not melt. He has the power to create realistic illusionary projections to trick others. 

Boaty

Serving as the mode of transportation for the fan favorite contestants to be transported to Paradise at the start of Season 3, Boaty is a seemingly inanimate boat that moves across water as all boats do. Despite seemingly being inanimate, the other characters seem to treat it as if it was alive, even to the point where they actually made a funeral for it after it exploded from crashing on shore while en route to Paradise. Eventually, Boaty became repaired and joined the Unvitational Committee, and as it turns out, there actually is some consciousness within it as it appears to be capable of honking its horn on its own. It wanted to make MePhone melt, but the vote majority made it never go through.

Ballpoint Pen

Created by MePhone as a way for him to potentially try to see how well his show is doing, Ballpoint Pen serves as a critic who wants to ensure just that by writing a review. Ultimately, however, he would tell MePhone that he can’t keep his show going forever upon seeing that MePhone’s just making a show based on what Ballpoint Pen likes instead of making a show based on what he himself likes. Although he is never physically seen with the rest of the Unvitational Committee members, he was actually invited at one point but couldn’t show up, though he did manage to send in a vote to not burn MePhone alive, believing that MePhone does have the potential to change his ways after all.

Spring-toys

Despite how the contestants have never consented to having toy replicas of themselves made, replicas of Balloon, Bot, Cabby, and Silver Spoon got made anyway. These bots usually serve Walkie Talkie to carry her around, with Spring-Balloon being able to turn his hand into a spear and Spring-Bot being the only one who can talk and even function after the rest of the Spring-toys have been shut down upon Walkie-Talkie being shut off.

Box Clones

When deciding to have a box character for his show, MePhone ended up creating various box characters of different designs that he would attempt to interview for an audition for his show, but ultimately, neither of the boxes ended up being selected after one of the boxes (The box who eventually got to compete on the show) drowned, so MePhone ended up selecting that box as a tribute to her.

Miscellaneous Creations

Several characters we see throughout the series, but their roles are incredibly minor to the point where they don’t do much.

The Inanimate Insanity Infinity Contestants (Debatable)

So, this is a bit of a weird case. In the episode Alternate Reality Show, Lightbulb and Test Tube would go back in time and accidentally screw with the past that caused Salt and Pepper to win the first challenge of Inanimate Insanity, leading to the present being altered in the form of a new season called Inanimate Insanity Infinity happening with Salt and Pepper being the hosts of that show. This show would come with completely new contestants that we have never seen in the original timeline, with the original contestants being stated in a livestream to have fallen into Black Hole’s abyss. Now, given the fact that MePhone was the one who started Inanimate Insanity to the point where he made all of his contestants, and that he still happens to exist in the form of MePhone7(+) in this timeline, it’s very much implied that the Inanimate Insanity Infinity contestants were also created through MeLife. However, considering how they’re all from another timeline, it’s unclear if they exist in the original one, though it’s possible that MePhone can make replicas of them, it’s just that it’s very unlikely for him to think about creating them, especially since we don’t know if he made these contestants while he was still MePhone4 or when he was upgraded to MePhone7.


That said, whether you want to think MePhone has them or not will not affect the verdict, and additionally, because these guys only appear in 1 episode, they don’t have much to talk about, so just like the failed debuters, this will be a lightning round explanation for all of these alternate reality show contestants.

Scaling

Caine

The Circus Members (And Former Circus Members)

Gangle, and Zooble, and Kinger, too! Ragatha, Jax, and there’s Pomni, woo-hoo! These 6 humans trapped within the Digital Circus are the only ones to have not abstracted yet, which gave Caine the perfect opportunity to have them go on wacky adventures where they are prone to getting hurt, beating each other up, or keeping up with the NPCs they encounter. As such, whatever feats they are capable of should absolutely scale to Caine since he is above them in power. This would also include the former circus members who have abstracted, so I’ll list their feats as well.

Other NPCs

Being the creator of everything within the Digital Circus, it’s natural that Caine scales to everyone and everything he’s made especially since his creations call Caine a God.


MePhone4

The Contestants

It should come to no surprise that MePhone scales to his own contestants given how he not only created them, but he can also physically harm and even kill his own contestants.

Other MePhones

Given how MePhone4 is one of the many MePhones created by Steve Cobs, combined with the fact that he’s been shown to keep up with and take hits from some of them even to the point where Fan states that MePhone4 is superior to the other MePhones, there’s no reason to assume he can’t scale to them.

Miscellaneous Characters

Because this is Inanimate Insanity, the contestants and especially MePhone4 himself are bound to be encountering and facing off against other characters, to which scaling to them is viable.



Weaknesses

Caine

He may be a goofy looking God, but he isn’t always amazing. To note the most obvious flaw, Caine is insane and has a massive ego that makes him want appreciation to the point where he straight up refuses to let others do what they want. Additionally, if he feels too much excitement, he can lag out for several seconds which can leave him vulnerable during that time. In addition, Caine has never really been in a proper fight in his series.


MePhone4

Despite all of the amazing abilities MePhone has, to say he’s perfect would be insanity. As a living phone, MePhone is vulnerable to water, where even the slightest splash of water onto his face can cause him to briefly short-circuit, and being completely submerged in it for a prolonged period of time can lead him to explode within seconds (Though the latter isn’t really much of an issue for him before as he ended up being placed inside of MePhone4S’ body by the end of Season 1 which has been shown to withstand being completely submerged in quicksand, and it was also heavily implied that he’s been eating Mile High Pies [Which are supposed to be made of ice cream which contains water] without any issue). Also, if Me were to be unplugged or if the Light Shimmer Egg gets taken out of him, MePhone will lose access to MeLife, which means he loses access to a majority of his abilities. Though, considering how Me is located in a faraway location, as well as the fact that the Light Shimmer Egg resides inside of him within the MeAfterlife (A place that can only be accessed by characters generated through MeLife when they get erased), this weakness is hardly much of an issue.

Before The Verdict…

The Amazing Digital Circus Cosmology

As Caine considers the Digital Circus back in Episode 1, whether it’d be night, day, it’s okay, because everything here is a cosmic buffet. So, how big is the cosmology within the Digital Circus, exactly? Well, thanks to Episode 7, we see various orbs in his office that are supposed to represent worlds within the Digital Circus. I could try to count all of these worlds, however it should be noted that it’s uncertain if Caine made all of them in one go or overtime, not that it would matter since none of this scales to his physical AP. That said, in case you’re curious how big a single world in the Digital Circus is, the Poacher’s Paradise world pretty much gives us an idea of its size given the mountains in the far background, and by calculating the distance they are to the screen, these mountains are about 24 km away. Assuming this is the radius of the world, multiplying the radius by 2 gives us a diameter of 48 km, and given that Caine created this world, it should be considered as the bare minimum range of his powers. Though, you might be asking this: aren’t there worlds large enough to house starry skies in them? Well…


Cosmic TADC Arguments

…yep.


Throughout the series’ run, many high end arguments have been made for Caine that have placed him at cosmic levels of power, so how legitimate are these arguments? Let’s take a closer look at them one by one.

The Worlds Housing Starry Skies

Throughout the series, we see the circus members go through many worlds, some of which such as Spudsy’s and the Favorite Character Awards Theater even housing starry skies in the background. While you would easily be tempted to call these Multi-Solar System level from a glance, the idea of them being legitimate quickly gets shot down by the fact that we blatantly see the Grounds at nighttime in the end of Episode 9 having its starry sky cut off mid-way through, insinuating that what we are looking at isn’t even a real starry sky, but rather a skybox just like any other virtual world we would see in fiction. Even outside of Episode 9, the stars that we see in the sky don’t even resemble actual stars at all, as they are drawn as literal 5-point stars instead of dots that realistic stars should look like. While one could bring up the fact that Spudsy’s starry sky looks more realistic especially since the adventure was intended to feel more realistic and grounded, the fact that the other starry skies we see are fake means that the starry sky in Spudsy’s should also be fake. So, as cool as it would be for Caine to have this power, this just isn’t it, as it’s pretty much Inapplicable.

The Zooble Box

In the episode The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor, we are introduced to the Zooble Box, a box Caine created that allows Zooble to swap out their current body parts for other parts within the box, which is stated by Gooseworx in a Tumblr post to have no end. One would easily interpret the statement to mean that the Zooble Box is infinite in size which would therefore give it a High Universal rating, and it would actually work… if it wasn’t for the fact that we clearly see that the Zooble Box is finite in size with none of its lengths stretching infinitely. Gooseworx’s statement wasn’t supposed to mean that the Zooble Box is literally infinite in size, but rather, it means it’s capable of generating an infinite amount of Zooble parts that Zooble is able to wear, which isn’t really the same as saying that it has an infinitely-sized space. Therefore, with this being an argument made from misinterpretation, this is Inapplicable.

Divinity Past Infinity

In the episode hjsakldfhl, Caine states in his song that his “divinity is past infinity”. Yeah, I’m just going to go straight to the point: this is very much just a hyperbolic statement that’s never really backed up by any showings of power that Caine has done on-screen. Essentially, this is pretty much like saying that M. Bison from Street Fighter is High Universal because he says his Psycho Power has no limit, when he’s never even shown any feats that put him at that rating which shows that what he said was only a hyperbole. Thus, it’s pretty much Inapplicable.

Conclusion

Simply put, all of the arguments for Caine having cosmic levels of power are just straight up bad, either because they are hyperboles that aren’t actually backed up by any on-screen feats (The Zooble Box being endless and Caine’s divinity being past infinity) or because they are fake (Caine creating starry skies in his worlds).


Are the Moon and the Sun literally 2D?

So, this is basically an argument that I keep seeing which attempts to disprove the Moon and the Sun’s kinetic energy being City level. Essentially, it claims that the Moon and the Sun are 2D because they are drawn that way every time we see them, which… yeah, this is a terrible argument with zero basis. There is literally nothing stating within the lore that the Moon and the Sun are meant to literally be 2D, and that this could very much just be an artstyle choice just to make it blend with the wacky and colorful aroma of the show. This is pretty much like saying that all of the hand-drawn characters in The Amazing World of Gumball and Who Framed Roger Rabbit are literally 2D because they were drawn that way and that they coexist with characters who are in 3D, but nothing really states that they are meant to literally be 2D. Keep in mind that we have had certain 2D artstyle moments for characters who are supposed to be 3D within TADC such as Pomni and Kinger’s eyes being drawn in 2D when they were in the dark during Episode 3 or the entire 2D anime sequence in Episode 5, meaning that if these characters drawn in 2D are 3D, then so should the Moon and the Sun. 


There’s also another argument claiming that the Moon is 2D because we only see 1 side of her (That being her right side in Episodes 1 and 5), but that’s just not true, because we do in fact see her left side in Episode 9, showing that she does have 2 sides. And then there’s also a 3rd argument claiming that the Moon and the Sun are only ever travelling on the X-axis and Y-axis but not the Z-axis, but like… everyone can move in those first 2 axes. As for why they never moved in the Z-axis, well… ever thought about the fact that it’s because of their lack of screentime? They are only supposed to be background characters and not the main focus, so their movement being limited is understandable. Even then, we do see in the credits of the finale how they look bigger than the circus in the shot when the usual credits has them smaller than the circus, implying that they are in the foreground in the finale’s credits while they are in the background in the regular credits, meaning that they are capable of moving in the Z-axis.


In short, just because the Moon and the Sun are drawn in 2D doesn’t mean they are literally 2D, as we have seen 2D artstyle moments for characters who are supposed to be 3D, and combined with the facts that they have more than 1 side and are capable of moving in a Z-axis, their City level feats should still be fine.


Does Caine’s support scale to Caine himself?

I thought this section would be worth making given since they’re a part of the fight, and that this is important to note. From what the narrative is trying to convey here, Caine is usually depicted to be superior to his own creations due to him being the God of the Digital Circus, but just because the others are weaker than him doesn’t mean you can’t argue for potential downscaling. Though, to get this out of the way, nobody should really scale to Caine’s speed as none of them really have any feats of keeping up with Caine, especially since there have been many instances where the latter straight up blitzes them before they could be given any chance to react.


In addition, nobody should be scaling to Caine’s lifting strength either due to never overpowering him in that stat at any point. It’s quite the opposite actually, given how we see Caine getting a grip on all of the circus members on a few occasions with them being unable to break out of it. There are 2 exceptions in Caine’s support that do scale to this, and it just so happens to be who Caine scales to in terms of lifting strength as a result of his God statusL the Moon and the Sun. Everyone else just doesn’t scale to them in lifting strength due to never overpowering the Moon and the Sun at any point.


That said, you can still bring up an argument that his support (down)scales to his physical AP.


In Episode 8, we see the circus members being capable of withstanding multiple hits from Caine both during his song and near the end of the episode when Caine was especially in a berserk state. Sure, an argument can be made that Caine was holding back as to not kill the circus members, but the fact that he was driven very mad and going all out with his torture heavily implies that he wasn’t holding back at all, not to mention how the circus members were pretty much surviving his attacks thanks to their digital physiology. You also have the fact that after Caine got deleted, the circus members actually got to work in restoring everything within the Digital Circus with their conjuring powers (Which are the same as Caine’s powers as explained by Kinger), which included the Moon who Caine gets his City level scaling from, meaning that they could pretty much reach City level that way. Furthermore, Caine even allowed the circus members to have full control of the Digital Circus once he let them have their freedom, insinuating that he made them become just as powerful as him.


As such, the circus members, and by extension, Caine’s creations, pretty much have a way to get near Caine’s level of power.


Inanimate Insanity Cosmology

This one is a rather simple cosmology explanation that isn’t too complex, as it’s from a single line that’s straight up stated pretty blatantly. In one episode of Fan’s Fantastic Features, Test Tube ended up using her Time Machine Calculator to create a portal that brought various characters from another universe into her universe, to which she notes that it was all thanks to infinite multiverse theory making this possible. Given how Test Tube is the most intelligent contestant in the series, she should pretty much be a reliable source here, which means yes, Inanimate Insanity actually has a Multiversal+ cosmology. Does anyone scale to it, though? 


To get straight to the point, nobody physically scales to it at all since they have no feats of destroying it. But hey, on the bright side, it at least scales to the range of Test Tube’s Time Machine Calculator since she was able to open that portal to bring those alternate universe characters there, so it’s better than nothing I suppose.


Inanimate Insanity Lightspeed Feats

Time to discuss lightspeed feats.


So for the first lightspeed feat, basically, we have Fan moving in tandem with a laser. The laser appears to move in a straight line and burns through Fan as opposed to exerting force on him, with the burning part being normal for real lasers especially on the flammable materials Fan is made of. Though there’s nothing proving that the laser isn’t real, at the same time, one may think that there’s not enough evidence of this being real. However, I should note that everything in the maze in context was created by MePhone through MeLife, the same source that led to the creation of the cameras in Season 3 who produce real light from their lenses, so I personally think that’s enough to call the laser real.


Next, we have the feat of MePhone4 jumping out of the way of a laser fired from the Shimmers’ spaceship. This laser goes in a straight line and… wait, did I see it exert force upon contact with the ground? That’s an automatic disqualification for it being a real laser! Sadly, even though this weapon is empowered by light, it’s not really enough to call it lightspeed, and one could also argue that it’s just the water in the soil being vaporized, playing the scene frame by frame also shows rocks being shot out of the crater, so this is debunked.


The next feat comes from Fan slightly moving in tandem with a laser fired at Test Tube. We aren’t given much information on the laser’s legitimacy outside of the fact that it moves in a straight line. It’s never called a laser at any point, and the weapon the laser is fired from doesn’t seem realistic.


Then, we have Nickel moving in tandem with a camera flash. Yeah, this is straight up undoubtedly real light being emitted from the lens of a camera. Pretty easy.


Finally, we have the feat of Silver Spoon’s Inner-Flame form intercepting a camera’s flash. Like the last feat, this is also undoubtedly real light since it’s a flash of light being emitted from a camera’s lens, but the real part comes from anyone scaling to Silver’s Inner-Flame form since this is meant to be a super form. If you ask me, I think it’s fine for others to scale to his speed, even if it means downscaling. Basically, Candle taught Silver how to access his Inner-Flame form, so the former’s Inner-Flame form should obviously be as fast as the latter’s form especially since Candle could react to Silver Spoon charging at her, and while many of the unvitational committee members were getting ragdolled by Candle’s Inner-Flame form, one of the cameras was able to surprise her by running in front of her. Furthermore, as much as the Inner-Flame forms grant the users more abilities to work with, nothing really suggests that they’re getting any stronger or faster when they achieve these forms as it’s never stated, so their speed should be the same regardless of whatever form they take. Since all of the unvitational committee members were confirmed to have been made through MeLife, by proxy it means MePhone should reasonably scale to them.


TL;DR While some of the feats have their lasers proven to be fake, the rest of these lightspeed feats are very much real and are fine to be used.


Should MePhone4 scale to BFDI characters (And other object show characters)?

If you’ve watched Inanimate Insanity, you may remember the occasional Battle for Dream Island character cameos and references that appear on the show, with some of these characters even extending to having their roles reprised by Michael Huang, one of the co-creators for BFDI, which makes sense given how the creators of BFDI and II are friends with each other. The fact that you can also see some Inanimate Insanity characters make cameos as recommended characters in BFDI should convince you that Inanimate Insanity and Battle for Dream Island should share a universe… right?


Yeah, no. Just because we see these characters from another series in the show doesn’t mean they are the same characters from the original series, as it may very well be the show’s versions of these characters. While one can attempt to use Nickel remembering being up for debuting in BFDI as evidence that BFDI’s Nickel is the same as II’s Nickel, both of these Nickels follow 2 completely different stories and have 2 completely different personalities (BFDI’s Nickel acts much more silly and random while II’s Nickel acting more seriously and sarcastic), not to mention how the idea of II Nickel being up for debuting in BFDI would be retconned into MePhone4 creating him to be on his show. You might also bring up how Pencil, Rocky, and Firey also appear in the series, but once again, it’s just meant to be the show’s version of these characters and not the real deal, especially given how it’s been stated at a meetup that the Pencils we see in BFDI and II are two completely different people. Also, we see how Puffball Speaker Box was in one episode of II Season 2 despite how the episode came out 8 months after she was left broken from a knife impaling her, something which would not be undone until 11 months later.


While we’re on the topic of crossovers, other characters from other object shows have appeared on Inanimate Insanity (IE. Party Hat from Brawl of the Objects, Gamey from Object Overload, Window from Object Universe, Door from the Object Show Movie, etc). However, all of them have one thing in common: they’re just cameos added in because of the crew members of Inanimate Insanity being friends with the creators of those object shows that don’t really have much of a major role. Not to mention, they have hardly interacted with each other which makes scaling MePhone to them dubious even if these crossovers were canon.


To put it short, MePhone4 (And the other Inanimate Insanity characters) should not be scaling to Battle for Dream Island characters (And other object show characters who appeared on the show) as those versions of them that appear on their show are completely different depictions of them.


The time MePhone3GS busted a planet

At one point in the episode Hatching the Plan, the Prime Shimmer was sharing a recollection of the MePhones having arrived to the Shimmer’s planet to which he even shows visuals of the scene through his light, where one of these moments that got depicted in particular was MePhone3GS proceeding to reel in a punch to leave a large crater on the planet and even push it back from the blow. However, issues arise regarding the usability of this feat.


As much as this scene served as an important plot point to explain how the Light Shimmers’ eggs were stolen, given how the entire scene played out with only light visuals to go by, we have no idea if MePhone3GS really did this in one go or he took multiple hits to form that crater. Just because the scene depicts him doing it in one go doesn’t mean the Prime Shimmer’s recollection was 1:1 with what happened, as thanks to the flashback scene at the beginning of the episode The Reality of the Situation, we see that MePhone1 and MePhone3G’s deaths were depicted differently from what the Prime Shimmer depicted in his visuals, being that the visuals depicted the the both of them each being killed by 2 spears at almost the same time while their actual deaths depicted them each being killed by a single spear 37 seconds apart, so the visuals provided aren’t 1:1 with what really happened. Because of this, we can even come to a possible conclusion that MePhone3GS made the crater not through a punch, but with a weapon that doesn’t scale to his physicals.


Furthermore, even if MePhone3GS actually did form the crater with a punch in one hit, it would be a massive outlier since this is the only tier 5 feat in the series compared to the usual tier 8-7 consistency. As a matter of fact, since we know the visuals aren’t 1:1 with what actually happened, the crater might as well not have been that big since the flashback scene in The Reality of the Situation never even shows the crater at all which leaves us to question its true size.


Simply put, as serious as the feat is due to it serving as an important plot point, there are many issues with using this feat that leave it to be unusable for scaling either because it’s an outlier, the actual feat took multiple hits, and/or the crater’s size depicted in the visuals is incorrect.


GALAXY LEVEL MEPHONE4!?

So in the episode Spring On The Breakfast!, MePhone4 made 3 giant floating models of Springtastic cereal boxes that seemingly have stars and galaxies within the backgrounds of each room. Unfortunately, there are some issues with MePhone actually scaling to this.


Firstly, if MePhone really did make these pocket dimensions, he would’ve required intergalactic range with MeLife to pull off creating galaxy-sized rooms. The problem with this is that it’s been established in the episode Marsh On Mars that MePhone wouldn’t be able to recover Marshmallow through MeLife if she died on Mars, indicating that MeLife’s range can’t be interplanetary. Secondly, considering the fact that this is the only tier 3 feat in the series compared to the second best feat that goes up to the tier 5 range (Which has already been established to have issues in terms of scaling and legitimacy) and the third best feat that only goes up to the tier 7 range, it’s safe to say that this feat is a massive outlier.


Overall, this feat is rendered unusable due to its glaring issues and it’s safe to say that those stars and galaxies you see in the rooms are just murals painted on the walls and not real celestial bodies (Not that it would have any effect on the verdict).


Can Caine take the Light Shimmer Egg out of MePhone4?

This won’t really impact the verdict much especially since it’s very unlikely that Caine would really know about the Light Shimmer Egg, but this section is basically a hypothetical scenario if Caine knew about the Light Shimmer Egg being inside of MePhone. That said, can Caine take it out of MePhone?


To put it simply, yes!


In Episode 9, we see how Pomni was able to enter an abstracted Jax’s mind via hugging him, and given how everyone shares the same abilities as a result of their digital physiology and them having the same conjuring powers, Caine should be able to do this as well to enter the MeAfterlife where the egg is at. Alternatively, Caine can also just phase his hand into MePhone with his intangibility to take the egg out of him without really needing to enter the MeAfterlife himself. Though, as stated before, it’s very unlikely for Caine to really know about the Light Shimmer Egg being the very thing powering MePhone, but he at least has the means to take it out of him.


Can MePhone4 take the Blue AI out of Caine?

Once again, this is a hypothetical scenario as it is unlikely for MePhone to really realize that Caine is fused with the blue AI nor would he really know about the latter. That said, can MePhone take the blue AI out of Caine?


To answer that, yes… and no.


No, because MePhone lacks the abilities to actually take the blue AI out of Caine. However, it is also considered yes because while MePhone himself won’t be able to do it, Test Tube actually can in the form of Experiment 626. If she can just get Caine to drink Experiment 626, it should pretty much work the same way as how Yin and Yang were separated from each other and separate Caine from the blue AI. Though, just like how it’s unlikely for Caine to know about MePhone’s Light Shimmer Egg, it’s unlikely for Test Tube to really know that the blue AI is the source for most of Caine’s powers, but at least she’s capable of doing so.

Verdict

Stats

These hosts with the most have made a lot of games throughout the years they have been around which their guests manage to endure, so it makes sense that we start to take a look at who has the better physical stats to give their guests a challenge.


Let’s kick things off with striking strength. Both of them as well as their guests have done and withstood some pretty powerful things in the games they’ve played. On Caine’s side, he does have some impressive direct feats such as ripping the Suggestion Box off of a wall and creating an explosion upon finishing his musical number. However, while he doesn’t really have many striking feats himself along with only having 1 direct durability feat, he actually starts to shine when we start scaling him to his guests and creations. In terms of calculated feats, the lower end feats include Pomni snapping a giant lollipop stick at 7.877632 kilojoules, an abstracted Kaufmo crashing through the circus floor at 0.02131282479211281 tons of TNT, and Pomni and Gummigoo withstanding the KE of the truck they were riding in at 0.19456564341 tons of TNT. All of these feats listed here are within the tier 9 range, but then we get to our mid end scaling, which is admittedly only 1 feat, but still worth noting: that being the Fudge being able to support his massive body on land at 17.78307444065488 tons of TNT. Much better, but it gets even better the moment we look at Caine’s high ends, which includes the Sun being able to move her body to generate a kinetic energy of 33.920086293539917222 megatons of TNT and the Sun being able to move her body to generate a kinetic energy of 84.230125273991646395 megatons of TNT. This is the best calculated feat that Caine is going to get in terms of physical scaling, but when you consider the fact that he’s treated as the God of the Digital Circus who should pretty much upscale from his creations (Including the Moon and the Sun who did these very feats), he’s likely above this value.


Moving on over to MePhone4’s side, many of the feats he manages to do in terms of striking strength and durability are admittedly just average due to them involving simple hits, though some of his highlights is him being able to throw a piano pretty far and withstanding a fall from a plane without deploying his parachute. Just like Caine, MePhone’s stats are pretty much carried by his contestants and other miscellaneous characters in Inanimate Insanity. In terms of calculated feats, the lower end feats include Pepper throwing a frisbee into a cloud at 4.90276610531 megajoules, Pickle withstanding Bomb exploding in front of him at 16.25946147904 megajoules, Yang crashing through Test Tube’s lab ceiling at 83.4565855752 megajoules, MePhone5 cutting up the Season 1 Elimination Time Area at 0.1831836018200287 tons of TNT, Bot withstanding a boat explosion from the epicenter at 0.263821658 tons of TNT, the eliminated contestants withstanding Bomb exploding on top of them upon them being sent to Idiotic Island 2 at 0.4820728742 tons of TNT, the eliminated contestants withstanding Bomb exploding on top of them upon him being sent to Idiotic Island at 0.5192199291 tons of TNT, Baseball, Nickel, and Suitcase withstanding a cannonball hitting them at 0.8490787195889102 tons of TNT, and Paintbrush creating a fire wave which burnt an entire field at 2.13491046694 tons of TNT. Some pretty solid feats ranging from the Wall-Building level ranges, but now we get to our mid end scaling, which is only just 1 feat, but still worth mentioning: that being Nickel throwing a half-mile high pie half a mile into the air at 61.8659104713193 tons of TNT. Even better! But we’re just getting started, as now we get to the high end scaling which has 2 feats within the tier 7 range: those being the Floor creating an earthquake which was threatening to erupt Paradise’s volcano at 3.9717134321223710458 megatons of TNT and Marshmallow withstanding being hit to Mars at 92.311875340448182214 megatons of TNT, the latter of which being the highest point in physical scaling MePhone is going to get.

Low Ends

When comparing their low ends together, we see that Paintbrush’s fire wave (The highest value of MePhone’s low end) already beats out the truck KE that Pomni and Gummigoo (The highest value of Caine’s low end) withstood by 10.9727001619x, and what’s worse is that some of the feats on MePhone’s end that are weaker than Paintbrush’s fire wave are still stronger than the best low end feat Caine scales to, with the weakest feat that MePhone scales to that is still stronger than the truck KE that Pomni and Gummigoo withstood being Bot withstanding being in the epicenter of a boat explosion, with the gap being 1.3559519213x.

Mid Ends

Of course, we were only getting started as those were just some of the weaker feats they scale to, so now we get to their mid ends. Both of them only have 1 feat they scale to in this end, those being the Fudge’s PE and Nickel’s half-mile high pie throwing feat (Funnily enough, they both involve desserts). Unfortunately for Caine, however, he once again loses in this end as the gap between his and MePhone’s mid end scaling is 3.47892096374x. Though, to give Caine some credit, the gap between the two here is at least smaller than the gap between the two on their low ends of scaling.

High Ends

And now, we are putting Caine and MePhone at their absolute best to see who is truly the stronger striker between the two. Both of them have 2 feats each that they scale to in this end, with the best feat Caine scales to being the Moon’s KE and the best feat MePhone scales to being Marshmallow’s KE from being hit to Mars. Between these two, Marshmallow’s feat just barely edges out against the Moon’s KE by a mere 1.09594845122x. So, MePhone once again has the edge… on paper. You see, the Moon is merely a creation of Caine, whose status as a God within the Digital Circus could very much mean that he likely upscales from her. Meanwhile, MePhone doesn’t really have anything that would make him upscale from Marshmallow’s feat, as he has actually been shown to be on par with his creations in terms of power given moments where he harms and withstands hits from them to show that they are equal. Therefore, although Marshmallow’s Mars feat is undoubtedly slightly better than the Moon’s movement KE, the fact that Caine has a potential argument to upscale from the Moon while MePhone is only on par with Marshmallow means that the gap would actually be less than this to an unknown degree.

Conclusion

While MePhone definitely beat Caine in the low and mid ends, both of them can be argued to be roughly equal to each other on their high ends (As much as MePhone takes it on paper) as a result of Caine potentially being able to upscale from the Moon to close the gap. Therefore, to play it safe, let’s call this a draw.



They may be equal to each other in striking strength, but this ultimately won’t matter for reasons that I will be getting to later in a later section. For now, we need to talk about the other type of strength that is worth mentioning: lifting strength.


On Caine’s side, he has some direct feats in the form of ripping off the Suggestion Box from the wall and telekinetically lifting up various objects in the Digital Circus at the end of his musical number, but he actually becomes good through scaling once again. On low ends, you have Kinger throwing an anchor a distance away at 770.899 kg, Kinger catching a falling giant bowling ball at 2178.16044374 kg, and Pomni snapping a giant lollipop stick at 10048 kg. Not bad, but it gets better the moment we look at their high ends which include the Fudge having a mass of 339372424.54 kg, the Sun having a mass of 33197317483.5 kg, and the Moon having the mass of 83725062845.6 kg. Much better! Plus, given the fact that Caine is the God of the Digital Circus and that 3 of these feats were done by his creations, it means that he can definitely be argued to upscale from these values.


Moving on over to MePhone’s side, he really doesn’t have anything good when it comes to direct lifting strength feats outside of throwing a grand piano which weighs 410 kg, something that can be considered his low end of scaling. Thankfully, however, his scaling to his contestants pretty much saves the day once again. For MePhone’s high end scaling, you have Blueberry throwing a rock bigger than himself at 140131.0832743895 kg, Nickel throwing a half-mile high pie half a mile into the air at 32802241.334 kg, and Knife tearing apart parts of a vending machine at 41440088.88946028 kg, the latter of which being the highest point of lifting strength that MePhone can scale to.

Low Ends

When comparing their low ends together, yeah… this isn’t really close. Look, lifting and throwing a grand piano is a great feat and all, but not only is this the only low end feat that MePhone has, but also Caine easily has MePhone’s feat beat by all 3 low end calculations of lifting strength he scales to. For reference, the gap of the lowest calculated lifting strength Caine scales to (Kinger’s anchor feat) when compared to the best low end of lifting strength MePhone scales to is 1.88024146341x in Caine’s favor, which only gets bigger when we start to compare the best low end lifting strength feat Caine scales to (Pomni snapping a giant lollipop stick) against MePhone’s piano throw which is a bigger gap of 24.5073170732x. Already, things aren’t looking good for the Meeple product here.

High Ends

However, it’s not like all hope is lost, as we still got to talk about the comparison between the best lifting strength feats they scale to. Unlike the last section, MePhone actually has more than one lifting strength feats to scale to on high ends, in this case 3 feats which also happens to be the same amount of high end feats that Caine scales to. Unfortunately for our cookie-loving host, he once again gets blown out of the water by the digital ringmaster, as the Moon’s mass (The highest lifting strength value that Caine scales to) beats out Knife tearing apart chunks of a vending machine (The highest lifting strength value that MePhone scales to) by a whopping 2020.38810942x. All of this isn’t even accounting for the fact that Caine has arguments of upscaling from this value by virtue of his God status.

Conclusion

This is a pretty clear cut and dry category to settle, as the teeth-headed host was simply on a higher level of lifting than the phone host on both low and high ends, meaning that if given the chance, the former would easily be able to physically restrain the latter by getting a good grip on him. Thus, Caine comes out as the one carrying this category win.



Caine may have been lucky to have that first pure non-tied category win, but what good is lifting when you can’t react or outpace things in time? Essentially, we’re now going to be looking at the last major physical stat category, speed.


Kicking things off with Caine’s side, he does in fact have a direct feat that just so happens to be the best speed feat in the series, but before I mention that, I’ll go and mention his low ends first just to build some suspense, which just so happens to be from his circus members and creations. On his low ends of scaling, there’s multiple feats of characters being able to move in blurs, but in terms of calculated feats, there’s Zooble moving in tandem with a revolver bullet at Mach 1.23713921283, the Moon moving her body at Mach 8.459071540699709, and the Sun moving her body at Mach 8.52498638387755. These speed feats, by extension, are the best speed values that Caine’s support is going to get given how none of them scale to Caine’s speed, who has a feat of physically travelling from the Grounds to the Void at 0.0274033328083 C, the best point of physical speed Caine is going to get. As a bonus, however, Caine does have access to flashbangs which are able to fire light at exactly 1 C, but he doesn’t really physically scale to it, meaning that it should only scale to his flashbangs’ attack speed.


Flipping things over to MePhone’s side now, MePhone doesn’t have many impressive direct speed feats that he physically scales to, though his Fist Thingy is capable of punching others at 0.0436849056049302 C. That said, he is once again being carried by his own contestants with their own physical speed feats that MePhone himself is able to scale to. On low ends, there’s plenty of moments of characters in the series being able to move in a blur, but when it comes to calculated feats, there’s Soap running on water at 379.5 m/s, Nickel throwing a half-mile high pie half a mile into the air at Mach 3.55451895, Baseball kicking a soccer ball hard enough to set it on fire at Mach 5, Test Tube moving in tandem with beams of electricity at Mach 8.537220602536443, Bot leaping to the top of Paradise’s volcano at Mach 10.09553804195335, and Pepper throwing a frisbee into a cloud at Mach 21.82340140924198. These, however, are just the feats within the Mach range, as the feats in the high ends will be accounting for stuff in the light percentage to light range. On high ends, there’s Nickel moving in tandem with a camera flash at 0.08235294117639209 C, Fan moving in tandem with a laser at 0.08537616229925303 C, Test Tube moving in tandem with the Shimmer Egg’s sound waves at 0.6977001174892798 C, and most impressively, Silver Spoon’s Inner-Flame form intercepting a camera flash at 2.388644433426674 C, which is the highest MePhone and his support is going to get in terms of physical speed.

Low Ends

When looking at their low ends, this one is pretty clear cut, as Pepper’s frisbee throwing speed already surpasses the Sun’s movement speed by 2.5599338728x. The worst thing about this is that everyone else who isn’t Caine, the Moon, and the Sun can only manage to scale to Zooble’s feat of moving in tandem with a revolver bullet, something that is 17.6402147656x slower than Pepper’s frisbee throwing speed.

High Ends

Moving on over to their high ends, Caine really only has 1 feat to go by in the form of his direct feat of flying from the Grounds to the Void. MePhone, on the other hand, has 4 different feats that he’s able to physically scale to, with the best feat being Silver Spoon camera flash interception feat which is already 87.1662016491x faster than Caine’s best speed feat. Even the worst high end feat, Nickel moving in tandem with a camera flash, is still 3.00521625426x faster than Caine’s best speed feat. If you thought that was bad for Caine getting lapped around tens of times over before he can do a single action, then it only gets worse by the fact that when comparing everyone else on Caine’s side to Silver Spoon’s feat, the Sun is 244897.524768x slower, the Moon is 246805.817169x slower, and everyone else 1687561.14303x is slower, which goes to show that Caine’s support is going to have an even more difficult time in trying to land a reliable hit on MePhone and his support due to the latter side essentially viewing them as statues to their perspective to the point where they are straight up running hundreds of thousands of laps around them before they can do a single action. As a bonus, while Caine does have his flashbangs, not only does he not physically scale to them, but also MePhone and his support straight up beat out the flashbangs’ attack speed by 2.388644433426674x.

Conclusion

Simply put, the digital ringmaster’s speed is nothing to scoff at. However, compared to the reality show phone host and his cast, the latter straight up blows the best speed values of the former out of the water, which is only made bigger for the former’s support due to them not scaling to Caine in speed. As a result, MePhone is the one running faster here.



Tertiary Factors

Moving on over to some categories that won’t matter much, but are still worth noting.


For the many years these two artificial hosts have been around for, they have certainly proven to be pretty great at hosting their games. That said, when it comes to experience, it’s actually pretty clear cut. Simply put, Caine has been around managing the Digital Circus for 21 years ever since he was created, which is already 8 years more than MePhone’s 13 years of hosting Inanimate Insanity. So, in a fairly easy-to-decipher category, Caine is the more experienced one in running the show.



The digital ringmaster may be more experienced, but just because he’s more experienced doesn’t mean he’s good at fighting, so how about we take a look at the skill of both of them?


Outside of combat, both Caine and MePhone are actually great at coding, being able to code in such a way that it has allowed them to give life to their very creations, which includes their personality and abilities. That said, when we take a look at their combat stances, Caine… has literally never been in a fight at all. Yes, he’s a God who is superior to everyone around him, but that’s the problem: he is superior to everyone. So much so, that when he starts torturing them, they can hardly fight back as a result of him overpowering them, which shows that Caine isn’t really demonstrating much skill knowing that the people he deals with are naturally weaker than him to the point where he can overpower them with ease. All of this is especially worse by the fact that Caine was never physically attacked in the series, which meant that he never really had to dodge anything.


On the other hand, as much as MePhone isn’t much of a fighter himself, he actually has been able to be competent in defending himself when attacked, as evident where he jumped over a slap from Knife to avoid being hit by him, or when he swiped MePhone4S’ screen to change his screen and distract him which gave him the time to finish him off, or when the Light Shimmers’ spaceship was firing a laser at MePhone which prompted him to dodge the first laser and later block the second one by creating a shield in front of himself. After all, all of these people who attacked MePhone were actually on his level, meaning that he actually had a reason to fight back and show some skill unlike Caine who is used to being the strongest in his series to the point where he never needed to show much skill.


In what is pretty much yet another straightforward category, MePhone has the better skill in handling things clean.



So now, both hosts have one category each in this section, but now comes the 3rd and final tertiary category, intelligence, because let’s face it: a good host needs to have the smarts to manage a good game.


For hosts who have been hosting their games for several years, they have managed to create many obstacles that their guests need to go through in such a way that it can be difficult for them at times, and they’re also capable of tricking their very guests into getting into something just so they could unintentionally play their game, with Caine tricking the circus members into believing that they found a way to escape the Digital Circus by making it an adventure without their knowledge and MePhone tricking the contestants into believing that they were going on a Spoiled Lemon VIP Tour when it would end up taking them to the place where they would be competing against each other in a third season. As stated before in the skills section, both are also very fast and efficient in coding in such a way that it has allowed them to make their creations with their own personalities.


When it comes to unique intelligence traits that the other doesn’t have, Caine is actively trying to come up with new ideas with every bit of information he gets fed just like any real life modern day AI would, and… that’s really it. MePhone, on the other hand, may not have any more direct intelligence feats himself, but given how he has straight up given all of his creations their personalities when creating them, he would easily be able to scale to Test Tube who has been regarded as the most intelligent contestant in the series, being highly knowledgeable in science and making many complex inventions which includes potions that can split merged entities into separate entities and vice-versa, a bow that can turn the wearer invisible, and even A FUCKING HANDHELD TIME MACHINE THAT CAN OPEN PORTALS ACROSS THE INFINITE MULTIVERSE! All of these feats of creating these complex inventions require an extraordinary level of intelligence, something which Caine completely lacks himself. Yes, he’s actively learning new things on the fly, but he’s never done extraordinary things like inventing time travel.


Don’t get me wrong, by no means is the digital ringmaster an idiot; he’s certainly intelligent in his own right for being able to create challenging obstacles in his games, having a sense of trickery, and actively learning things with every bit of information he is given, but MePhone has those first 2 traits of Caine alongside the mind of someone who is intellectually advanced in the field of science and is able to make many complex and unrealistic inventions beyond anything that the human mind and even Caine himself is capable of inventing. He may be a slob, but MePhone has the greater overall intelligence.



Arsenal & Abilities

 So, Caine has far better lifting strength, but MePhone is much faster. Both of them may be equal to each other in striking strength and durability, but remember when I said earlier that it wouldn’t matter? Well, that’s where the next section, survivability, comes into play! Essentially, this is asking who between the two is more difficult to kill.


On Caine’s side, he is very well known for his digital physiology which not only grants him absurd immortality that allows him to never die and withstand normally fatal attacks in a cartoony fashion, but also grants him regeneration potent enough to bring him back from being completely erased on an informational level. Additionally, should he sustain any damage, he can also heal himself by creating a healing butterfly just like Kinger.


Meanwhile on MePhone’s side, he is much faster which makes him more difficult to hit, has the ability to create a forcefield in front of himself to block attacks, and… that’s really it… which is what I would say if he didn’t have access to his creations’ abilities due to creating them and giving them their abilities. Thanks to his creations, MePhone should also have the regeneration of Baseball and Test Tube who have been able to regenerate from their bodies being completely burnt up as well as Fan who has been able to regenerate from having a large hole in his body. Apart from the inherited regeneration, MePhone should also inherit Marshmallow and Apple’s immortality which has allowed them to survive being pierced through the head from the bottom of the body and continue to function while being split horizontally in half respectively. To top it all of, MePhone also has Clover’s insane luck protecting him from being harmed which will cause projectiles that try to reach him to stop and fall down normally as well as cause random objects to block certain attacks headed towards him.


Both of them are pretty resilient in their own right, however, while MePhone has more methods of defense than Caine (3 defensive methods VS 5 defensive methods), this is where the “quality over quantity” phrase starts to come into play in Caine’s favor. As much as it’s nice that MePhone has immortality and regeneration, Caine has those as well, but on a much better scale than anything the host of Inanimate Insanity has. MePhone might be able to survive being pierced through the body and getting horizontally cut in half, but Caine’s own immortality not only covers those, but also covers deathless immortality that just stops Caine from dying altogether. MePhone may be able to regenerate from having his entire body being completely burnt as well as having a hole in his body, but Caine also covers those with his own regeneration on top of being able to come back from being erased on an informational level. Caine can also heal himself with a healing butterfly, but that just overlaps with his own impressive regeneration.


That said, don’t count MePhone out yet, as he still has 2 other defensive methods that can still help him survive long: his greater speed and his absurd luck. The former pretty much means that Caine will have a hard time trying to reliably land a hit on MePhone, while the latter straight up strengthens the former by making the most convenient timing in blocking attacks. So, between absurd immortality and regeneration against absurd speed and luck, who is more likely to go on longer than the other? Well, as I’ve stated before, Caine’s regeneration and immortality is straight up absurd as he can be completely deleted from existence on a physical level and still come back from it especially with his inability to die from anything, and while MePhone’s ways of surviving is nothing to scoff at, Clover’s luck has actually had its user still die at times. Even with her luck, Clover still died from being crushed by a tower, burnt by fire, and even getting deleted from existence, while MePhone himself has been shown to die twice in the series even when he should have had Clover’s luck by his side. Yes, Clover’s luck certainly makes the user more difficult to kill by making attacks harder to land, but it doesn’t make the user immortal, especially on the level of Caine’s immortality.


Overall, both of these hosts have their own abilities and traits going for them that make them really difficult to kill. However, Caine’s inability to die thanks to his immortality and regeneration already seals the deal against MePhone who can only survive for so long through his greater speed and Clover’s luck, neither of which really make him immortal on the AI host’s level which means that he’s very much still vulnerable to death. Given these factors, Caine has the right hardware needed to naturally survive longer in the long run.



Caine is pretty much impossible to kill for MePhone thanks to his better survivability, but whether or not the fat slob of a host has a method to getting past the wacky ringmaster’s absurd survivability will be talked about later on. For now, let’s head on over to the section that involves the very things that gave them their immense power which led to the creation of their games, their sources, or more specifically, Blue AI VS Light Shimmer Egg. What do they gain from them in terms of equipment and abilities, and how potent are each of their abilities against each other overall?


Given the fact that they are responsible for creating everything within their games, it isn’t much of a surprise that they showcased multiple abilities when doing this, many of which happen to be abilities that they both share themselves, so in order to know who has the better overall abilities, we need to compare their shared abilities together as well as how they fare against unique abilities one has that the other doesn’t.


Shared Ability

Caine’s method of activation and its effectiveness

MePhone4’s method of activation and its effectiveness

Who has the overall better ability and how do they fare against each other?

Multiple Selves

Passive due to having the Blue AI within himself

Passive due to him having MePhone4S’ talking hand

Draw. They both have entities in themselves, but It’s not like this ability will help them in a fight anyway.

Self-Sustenance

He’s literally an inorganic entity lol

He’s literally an inorganic entity lol

Draw. Like, what did you expect for these inorganic beings who have the same ability with the same function?

Fourth Wall Awareness

Looks at the screen to talk to the viewers

Looks at the screen to talk to the viewers, acknowledge the animator, and do scene transitions

MePhone4. He simply has more with his fourth wall awareness than just talking to the viewers. That said, neither of the two’s use of it is really useful for combat.

Body Control

Can unlink his jaw, rotate his torso more than 360*, rotate his eyeballs, and grow multiple eyeballs

Should be able to move his mouth off of his body through stuttering scaling from Bomb’s use of it

Caine. Simply put, more effects compared to the 1 minor effect MePhone’s variant has. This will allow Caine to be very flexible when fighting, while MePhone’s use of it seems useless against Caine.

Elasticity

Has stretchy arms and eyes (Scaling from Pomni)

Has stretchy arms (Scaling from Knife, Bow, and Cabby) and legs (Scaling from Cherries) as well as a stretchy tongue (Scaling from Taco), and he can flip people’s mouths upside down (Scaling from Clover)

MePhone4. Not only does he have more parts of his body that are stretchy compared to Caine who only has stretchy arms and eyes, but he can also stretch his limbs further as evident with Cherries’ legs stretching over the top of a rock wall which appears greater than Pomni grabbing 2 trucks with her stretchy arms. That said, both of their uses of elasticity will prove to be useful for grabbing things from afar.

Bodily Weaponry

Can turn his teeth sharp scaling from Pomni and Jax’s use of it

Can turn his teeth sharp scaling from Bow and Yin-Yang’s use of it, and he should also possess Knife’s blade and Spikey’s spikes

MePhone4. He pretty much has Caine’s only feature with this ability on top of having a blade and spikes. That said, it should be useful for the both of them for close range purposes when they don’t have any of their equipment.

Absorption

Upon making contact with a living being, Caine is able to assimilate them into himself which will allow him to be capable of using their powers

Scaling from Goo, MePhone should be able to absorb objects into himself upon making contact with them

Caine. It’s essentially the effect of MePhone’s own absorption on top of an additional effect which will allow Caine access to the assimilated target’s powers. Neither resist each other’s absorption.

Attack Reflection

Can make bullets from guns backfire on their wielders by plugging his finger into the gun’s barrel

Scaling from Taco, MePhone should be able to catch projectiles in his mouth before spitting them back

MePhone4. Caine’s use of attack reflection seems to be limited to guns, whereas MePhone’s own use of it is able to reflect any projectile.

Reality Warping

With a thought, he can change the animation style, turn everything monochrome, and glitch out objects

With a snap or through the Animation-Changing Button, he can change the animation style, with the latter’s effect causing people who haven’t been shown in the artstyle of the first 2 episodes of Inanimate Insanity  to be deleted from existence

Draw? Admittedly, this was rather hard as while both can alter the animation style and can affect the condition of certain objects and people respectively, the effect of Caine’s reality warping is thought-based while MePhone has better range with this ability by virtue of it being ~161 km VS Caine’s ~48 km. That said, the dangerous effects of Caine’s reality warping only seems to affect the objects around himself and not the people, meaning that it wouldn’t be useful on MePhone himself. Meanwhile, MePhone cannot delete Caine from existence due to the latter being able to regenerate from it.

Creation

Can create virtually any object or person with a thought

Can create virtually any object or person with a thought

Draw. Both of their creation powers pretty much function the same way, and they are capable of using this against each other.

Flight

Passive

Passive scaling from Ghost Bow and Spikey’s use of it, and he can also fly through his plane, his flying microphone stand, and Clover’s luck

Draw. Both have the means to fly at any time they need to, ‘nuff said. Useful on each other for aerial battles.

Telekinesis

With the point of a hand, Caine can telekinetically lift others

Scaling from Ghost Bow, Candle, and Spikey, MePhone should be able to telekinetically lift others with either a hand point or a thought

MePhone4. As much as both of them can telekinetically lift others with the point of a hand, MePhone can also do it with a thought while Caine can’t. That said, MePhone’s telekinesis isn’t really useful on Caine due to the latter having the lifting strength advantage over MePhone which will allow him to break out of his grip, while Caine’s telekinesis can restrain MePhone due to the latter’s lifting strength disadvantage. Despite this, MePhone can still counter Caine’s telekinesis via escaping from the grip either through his portals or teleportation.

Hammerspace

Can stuff objects larger than himself into himself

Can stuff objects larger than himself into himself scaling from Taco and Cabby

Draw. Both of them pretty much have the same function of carrying equipment larger than themselves on their person, which will help them pull out whatever they need at any time when they are on the fly.

Darkness Manipulation

With a thought or a snap, he can turn the area around him pitch black

With a thought, he should be able to turn the area around him pitch black scaling from Salt and Pepper’s use of it

Draw. Both of them can activate their abilities as fast as a thought which just so happens to have the same potency in the form of making the area pitch black. That said, they can counter each other’s darkness manipulation with their own light manipulation.

Teleportation

Can teleport himself and others with either a snap or a thought

Can teleport himself and others with a thought scaling from Ghost Bow and the Floor’s use of it

Draw. Both of them can activate their abilities as fast as a thought which just so happens to have the same potency in the form of teleporting themselves and others, making it very useful to use against each other for mobility purposes.

Smoke Manipulation

Can create smoke through teleporting himself as well as with a thought to cover the background with it

Can create smoke through teleporting others

Caine. Simply put, his smoke covers a larger range than MePhone’s smoke. That said, this ability isn’t really useful on each other since both of them have abilities that can counter it such as Caine’s Clairvoyance and MePhone’s Enhanced Senses.

Water Manipulation

Can create physic-defying water that keeps its shape even when the barrier around it is broken

Scaling from Tea Kettle, MePhone should be able to blow hot steam out of himself

Draw, possibly Caine? The water Caine made in the Digital Circus is quite a lot while MePhone only has access to Tea Kettle’s ability to blow hot steam which is very limited in range, but can certainly burn you if you get near it. However, it’s unknown if Caine made all of the water in one go or overtime since all of these instances of him making water was offscreen, so if you think he did it in one go, Caine has the edge, otherwise it is a draw. That said, Caine wouldn’t really be affected by the hot steam due to his resistance to extreme heat, whereas MePhone can get stunned for a bit if he gets exposed to water, which can leave him vulnerable to being attacked.

Portal Creation

Can create portals out of thin air with either a snap or the wave of his baton, with them having a pulling effect

Can create portals out of thin air with a snap

Caine. As useful as it is for the both of them to be capable of reaching their destinations faster for mobility, when it comes to using these portals against each other, Caine’s portals have a pulling effect which MePhone’s portals lack, thus making it easier for MePhone to get sent through one of Caine’s portals than it is for MePhone to send Caine through one of his portals.

BFR

By opening a portal, Caine is able to send others to different worlds, the Cellar, and dark pocket dimensions, and he can also teleport others to the Loser Corner, send people to Shrimp Town if they press the blue button, and take them to Hell by dragging them their with demonic hands

By opening a portal, MePhone is able to send others to different locations up to 100 miles away, and through equipment, he can launch people planetary distances away with his Fist Thingy and launch people interplanetary distances away with Cherries’ wrecking ball

Caine. Don’t get me wrong, both of their BFRs are certainly great, it’s just that Caine can send people to different dimensions which beats out MePhone only being able to send others within the same dimension. That said, Caine has his teleportation to teleport back into battle after being BFR’d by MePhone, whereas MePhone lacks any feats of traveling through dimensions which means that he would be vulnerable to Caine’s BFR.

Existence Erasure

With a snap or through manifesting one’s code on a computer, Caine is able to delete people from existence on an informational level.

With the Animation-Changing Button, MePhone4 is able to delete people who haven’t been shown in the artstyle of the first 2 episodes of his series from existence.

Caine. The potency of his existence erasure is much more potent given how information-based erasure > physical erasure. Additionally, MePhone4 is unable to erase Caine from existence due to how the latter is able to regenerate from complete physical erasure, but at the same time, it can be argued that MePhone4 wouldn’t be affected by Caine’s own existence erasure due to him scaling off of Bow who wasn’t deleted when Me got unplugged which deleted every other MeLife creation..

Electricity Manipulation

Through either his storm clouds creating lightning, getting angry enough to shoot bolts of electricity out of himself in all directions, or touching something which can allow him to generate electricity from the hand touching the object

Through either the electricity guns from his hedge maze which can fire beams of electricity, Taco’s laser gun which can fire paralyzing beams, touching objects with his hands to imbue them with electricity (Scaling from Lightbulb), or simply just touching MePhone by virtue of him inheriting this from Fence

Caine. MePhone’s uses of ranged electricity manipulation rely on equipment, while his natural means of it are specifically for close range purposes. Caine’s use of it on the other hand is both natural and ranged, and with how the bolts shot out of Caine are spewed in all directions, it will make it very difficult for MePhone to dodge this AoE. Both of them have resistance to electricity, however, with Caine scaling from Jax and Pomni due to them sharing the same physiology and MePhone scaling from Paintbrush by virtue of them being his creation.

Possession

Scaling from Baron and the souls of the damned, Caine should be able to possess those he makes contact with.

Scaling from Bow and Dough’s ghost forms, MePhone should be able to possess those he makes contact with.

Draw. Both of them pretty much have the same function with their possession abilities, and they would be effectively useful against each other since they’ve never resisted possession before.

Extrasensory Perception

By looking at his arm, Caine can tell that the circus members completed their adventure

Scaling from Candle, MePhone should be able to stare into one’s soul to read their auras in order to gain intel on their personalities and weaknesses

MePhone4. Caine’s use of extrasensory perception seems to only be for detecting if the circus members completed their adventure or not which doesn’t seem very useful in a combat scenario, whereas MePhone’s (Or rather Candle’s) version of it can read auras with just a stare into someone’s soul to gather information about them. That said, it wouldn’t be able to work on Caine at all due to him not having a soul, but at the same time, Caine’s version of it isn’t very useful combat-wise.

Mind Manipulation

With the Stupid Sauce, he can make people who make contact with it drunk and lightheaded, and he can naturally make people vegan as well as enter minds through hugging others

By reviving multiple creations through MeLife at once, MePhone is able to accidentally revive them into the wrong bodies

Caine. This isn’t much of a surprise given how MePhone’s use of it is specifically for his creations and not anyone else, while Caine’s use of it is more potent due to it being able to affect just about anyone. That said, the fact that they both resist mind manipulation through their inorganic physiologies means that these abilities wouldn’t be very useful against each other.

Summoning

With a snap, Caine is able to teleport and telekinetically drag others to him

With a snap, MePhone is able to spawn a cage as well as a chair (The latter coming from Bow’s ability)

Caine. Summoning people is definitely better than summoning simple objects that Caine can just so happen to counter with his teleportation, meaning if given the chance, Caine can summon much of his support to him to try to overwhelm MePhone.

Telepathy

While never demonstrated by Caine himself, he would’ve presumably made a telepathic talking dog

Scaling from Inner-Flame Candle and Tootsy Wootsy’s use of it, MePhone should be able to communicate to others through his mind

Draw. Both are capable of transmitting their thoughts to others which could be useful for sending private information to their support, though it’s not very useful against each other since they don’t appear to be that broken.

Duplication

With a thought, Caine should be able to scale from Bubble who can make at least a dozen duplicates of himself

Scaling from Goo, MePhone should be able to get a clone of himself by having his body split in half

Caine. A dozen is already more than 2, and MePhone will definitely struggle to deal with them especially since they inherit Caine’s aforementioned survivability.

Power Bestowal

With a snap, Caine can create a timer counting down from 5 minutes which will then proceed to grant his support 3 lives, and he can also give his support full control at any time which is implied to be him making them as powerful as him

Through Clover’s ability, MePhone should be able to give others absurdly good luck by telling them that he wishes them luck

MePhone4. Having 3 lives is nice, but it’s kinda redundant since Caine’s support already can’t die, not to mention how even if they all got put on Caine’s stats, nothing really changes in who takes stats. On the other hand, Clover’s luck is simply absurd, allowing users to get the result they want through hoping that it happens as well as protecting them from things that are coming towards them even if they aren’t aware of them. While Caine’s power bestowal is redundant against MePhone, MePhone’s power bestowal will definitely give Caine trouble as he has the potential to give everyone Clover’s luck.

Fire Manipulation, Magma Manipulation, and Temperature Manipulation

Can create fire through his lighter, other things that can be used to cause fires, and lava, and he should also scale to the Sun being able to fry a shrimp from a distance

Should be able to shoot fire from the flamethrowers from his hedge maze, create lava, spew fire in the form of a wave or a stream scaling from Paintbrush’s use of it, set the area behind him on fire scaling from Yin-Yang’s use of it, set things on fire with a touch scaling from Clover’s use of it, carry a general flame on himself scaling from Candle’s use of it, and increase his own body heat scaling from Tea Kettle's use of it

Caine. Both of their methods of these abilities are great in their own right, but thanks to Caine being able to scale to the Sun by virtue of her being his creation, he inherits the range of the Sun being able to fry others to a crisp. That said, both Caine and MePhone resist each other’s abilities, so it wouldn’t work on them very well.

Ice Manipulation

Can create snow around an entire world

Through the freeze rays in his hedge maze, MePhone is able to fire blue lasers capable of freezing those who make contact with it

Draw, possibly Caine? The fact we see snow around an entire world means it could be AoE, but because the world was made offscreen. We don’t know if all of this snow was made in one go or overtime. If he did do it in one go, then it beats MePhone’s use of it where he fires a beam to freeze a single target, but if it was overtime, they would be relatively equal. That said, MePhone shouldn’t be affected by Caine’s ice manipulation due to him being able to scale to his contestants being able to withstand the environment of space which is near absolute zero in temperature, which much colder than Caine’s ice manipulation which is at most 0*C. The same cannot be said about Caine being able to resist MePhone’s freeze rays, meaning that if he was blasted by it, he will get frozen.

Light Manipulation

With a thought, Caine can generate bright light, and he also has access to flashbangs that can emit light powerful enough to disorientate others

With a thought, MePhone should be capable of emitting a light powerful enough to harm ghosts scaling from Lightbulb’s use of it, and by making contact with generated green fluid, objects touched by it should be able to turn green scaling from Test Tube’s use of it, and with the press of a button, MePhone should be capable of emitting light powerful enough to stun others akin to Camera 2’s use of it

Caine. As useful as both of their usages of light manipulation are able to let them see in the dark as well as how both of them are able to stun others with their light, Caine’s use of light from his flashbangs is AoE whereas Camera 2’s use of her light to stun others is in one direction. There’s 2 other traits MePhone’s light manipulation has that Caine’s light manipulation doesn’t, being that it can harm ghosts and turn people green through making contact with green fluid, and while the latter isn’t very useful in a fight, the former seems good on paper until you realize that a majority of Caine’s support are non-ghosts. Both can definitely get stunned by each other’s light should they use it against each other.

Size Manipulation

With a thought, Caine is able to grow himself up to 43.5 meters tall

With a thought, MePhone should be able to grow himself 4.46 kilometers tall scaling from the Floor’s use of it

MePhone4. Simply put, his own maximum-sized form is over 102 times bigger than Caine’s maximum-sized form.

Gravity Manipulation

Unknown how he activates it, can flip the gravity of others upside down

Scaling from Marshmallow, MePhone should be able to have his gravity randomly stop him in mid-air before he eventually gets relocated horizontally or upwards

Caine. Unlike MePhone’s self-gravity manipulation which is random in such a way that it can either help or hinder him, Caine’s own use of it can flip the gravity of others upside down at any time he wants, something that will give MePhone more trouble than MePhone’s use of it giving Caine trouble.

Illusion Creation

Through creating a tunnel that appears to be 3D before turning 2D the moment someone gets close to it

Scaling from Zoetrope, MePhone should be able to project an illusionary butterfly from himself

Draw. Both of their illusions have been able to successfully fool others, and they would likely end up being fooled by each other’s illusions.

Intangibility

Through phasing his hand through something upon making contact with it

Scaling from Bow’s ghost form, MePhone should be able to turn others intangible with the point of a hand to phase them through solid objects, and he should be able to phase through objects himself

MePhone4. As much as both of them are able to phase their body through objects, MePhone’s (Or rather Ghost Bow’s) use of it can turn others intangible which will be very useful to apply on MePhone’s support. Both of them are able to affect each other with this ability.

Explosion Manipulation

With the wave of both of his hands, Caine can instantly generate explosions over specific areas

With his explosive paintball guns, MePhone can shoot paint capable of exploding upon making contact with its target, and he can also blow up scaling from Bomb, though this kills him

Caine. The fact that Caine’s explosions can be done with just a wave onto a specific area at an instant without any travel distance is definitely better than shooting paint and hoping it hits the target. The self-explosion part MePhone has especially isn’t very useful since this kills him. Nonetheless, both have these abilities on each other as a good source of AoE.

Technology Manipulation

With his mind, Caine is able to power a computer

With Clover’s luck, MePhone is able to passively cause the loading on technological devices to fail

MePhone4. Turning on a computer with your mind is nice, but it isn’t really doing Caine any good here. On the other hand, causing technological devices to fail in loading is much better, which can especially hinder Caine himself by the fact that he’s an AI in such a way that he can be halted from using his abilities.

Non-Physical Interaction

Through his vacuum, he is able to suck up ghosts

Through his vacuum, he is able to suck up ghosts, and he can also touch them at any time thanks to inheriting this ability from Bow’s ghost form

Draw. As the creators of both of their vacuums which are capable of interacting with ghosts, they should straight up be able to interact with the ghosts on each other’s side.

Underwater Breathing

Passive as a result of his digital physiology

Through the Wireless Scuba Masks, MePhone is able to breathe underwater

Caine. His underwater breathing is all natural compared to MePhone who still needs to rely on equipment, and it’s not even mentioning how MePhone can still short circuit if he makes contact with water.

Air Manipulation

Through his Bicycle Pump, Caine is able to pump air into one’s mouth to inflate their bodies

Scaling from Clover and Spikey, MePhone should be able to fly in the air through the wind and blow objects that are on him from being away by blowing

MePhone4. Compared to Caine’s use of it which is through a piece of equipment, MePhone’s use of it is all natural. Not only that, but Caine’s use of it is close-ranged while MePhone’s use of it is both close-ranged and long-ranged, with the latter range coming from the objects being flung off of him the moment he blows. That said, both of them should be affected by each other’s air manipulation.


As you can see, out of the 40 abilities they share with each other (Minus the already-covered Regeneration and Immortality), both of them drew in 12-14 categories, but Caine has 15-17 ability advantages under his hat while MePhone only has 11 ability advantages. A 4-6 point advantage lead for Caine at that, but now we need to talk about the abilities that are exclusive to them to see if they would pose trouble against their opponent or not. Let’s start off with Caine’s unique abilities VS MePhone4.


Caine’s Unique Ability

How does MePhone4 fare against it?

Subjective Reality

Vulnerable. With how versatile Caine’s Subjective Reality is in the form of creating exit doors based on desires and healing butterflies, weakening the power of guns, redirecting gun bullets, and powering computers without any electricity as well as conjuring someone’s code onto it, this will prove to be very troublesome for MePhone to deal with because of how unpredictable it is as Caine can get whatever he needs depending on what he’s thinking of.

Pocket Reality Manipulation

Vulnerable. MePhone lacks any feats of travelling to other dimensions, meaning that Caine is able to trap MePhone in one of his pocket dimensions where he wouldn’t be able to escape by himself.

Physics Manipulation

Vulnerable. With how Caine is able to mess with the physics of the area around himself, MePhone really needs to watch himself more carefully due to how the physics within the Digital Circus can lead to unpredictable results that MePhone has never faced before.

Law Manipulation

Ineffective. All Caine can really do with this ability is prevent people from swearing or having sex, but that isn’t really useful in a combat scenario.

Void Manipulation

Ineffective. All the Void really serves is simply empty space that Caine hadn’t decided what should be placed in it, and even if this was some offensive ability to erase people, MePhone straight up resists this thanks to inheriting existence erasure resistance from Bow and Dough.

Clairvoyance

Vulnerable. As Caine has hundreds of eyes watching MePhone, he will be able to know where MePhone is at all times which means that MePhone will need to be extra careful on what he does due to him being watched.

Text Manipulation

Ineffective. All he’s doing is creating text out of nowhere, which… doesn’t really do anything to MePhone. What, you thought Caine would use it to beat MePhone through the power of reading?

Data Manipulation and Information Manipulation

Ineffective. Due to MePhone’s resistance to existence erasure via scaling to Bow, Caine would be unable to delete MePhone from existence by deleting his code. Also, with how none of MePhone’s support let alone MePhone himself are data beings, his ability to interact with data beings is useless in this fight.

Purification

Vulnerable. If MePhone ever tries to infect Caine or his support with the Condishawn, Caine can just get rid of it by snapping to revert himself and his support back to their original states.

Pain Manipulation

Ineffective. Due to creating Bow and Tissues, MePhone should be able to scale to them being hardly affected by physical trauma and painful symptoms respectively, with the former even being able to laugh off the attacks coming towards her.

Weather Manipulaion

Vulnerable, but can counter. Caine is able to create thunderstorms with rain which MePhone can get short-circuited by, but MePhone can just counter this by getting out of the range of the thunderstorms with his portal creation and teleportation, and if he can’t avoid it, he can just generate something over himself like a shield to block the rain.

Soul Manipulation

Ineffective. MePhone completely lacks a soul due to being an inorganic robot.

Blood Manipulation

Vulnerable, but can counter. This may not seem very useful on Caine’s end since all he does is splatter blood on the screen, but surprisingly, it can actually exploit MePhone’s weakness to water touching him to make him short-circuit since blood is 50-80% water. That said, just like with Caine’s thunderstorms, MePhone can just generate a shield to block the blood or simply use portal creation or teleportation to get out of the way.

Cloth Manipulaiton

Ineffective. Changing the clothes of others is nice and all, but this ability doesn’t really have a combat use.

Perception Manipulation

Vulnerable. The Stupid Sauce has been shown to affect inorganic beings, meaning that it should be able to affect MePhone by twisting his perception the moment he makes contact with it. Caine can also replay an explanation on MePhone, but that one isn’t very useful compared to the Stupid Sauce.

Restoration

Vulnerable. Caine can pretty much use this to restore any equipment he has that is broken which would undo any attempts of MePhone breaking Caine’s equipment.

Radiation Manipulation

Ineffective. Not only do we not see how Caine would cause everything to become a nuclear wasteland since it was only an idea, but assuming it contains radiation, it wouldn’t really affect MePhone at all due to him being a robot as well as inheriting resistance to radiation from his creations being able to withstand the environment of space without any issue..

Transmutation

Vulnerable. MePhone has never resisted transmutation before, meaning that if it ever landed on him, he can effectively become incapacitated which will allow Caine to finish him off.

Deconstruction

Vulnerable. MePhone has never really faced people who can deconstruct things, meaning if given the chance, Caine can just shatter MePhone into pieces with a snap or a piano note press.

Sealing

Vulnerable, but could counter. MePhone has never really been shown to resist sealing, though he could counter this by using Size Manipulation to grow larger than the card so he wouldn’t fit through it.

Broadway Force

Vulnerable. Caine’s usage of broadway force has been able to affect digital entities who are supposed to be inorganic, meaning that it should be able to work on MePhone as a way to incapacitate him or distract him long enough for Caine to attack him.

Healing (Of others)

Vulnerable. With how Caine can heal his support, it’s going to give MePhone a difficult time in trying to do any damage to them on top of their absurd survivability.

Platform Creation

Ineffective. Technically, this is useless on Caine’s part since he can fly, but he can at least use this ability to have some ground to stand on. That said, it doesn’t do anything to MePhone, especially since the latter has some AoE that can catch Caine even if he’s on these platforms.


Out of all of the 23 unique abilities exclusive to Caine, 9 of them are ineffective against MePhone and 3 of them are things MePhone is vulnerable to but can counter, but 11 of them are stuff that MePhone simply doesn’t have much of an answer to if they were ever executed. This gives Caine 26-28 ability advantages that can prove to be troublesome for MePhone to deal with, but we’re not out of the woods just yet, because now we need to see MePhone’s unique abilities VS Caine.


MePhone4’s Unique Ability

How does Caine fare against it?

Magnetism Manipulation

Vulnerable, but can counter. Now, from the name, you might think it only works on metallic objects, but no. MePhone’s Contestant Magnet is capable of magnetically attracting non-metallic characters towards itself to get them stuck to it, so Caine, despite not being made of any metal, would be affected by this. That said, Caine can either teleport off of the Contestant Magnet or simply overpower it with his lifting strength advantage.

Sound Manipulation

Vulnerable, but can counter. Apart from being able to change his own voice which isn’t really useful, MePhone should also be able to blast Caine away with his yells scaling from Microphone and Ghost Bow. However, should Caine be sent away, Caine can just warp back to where MePhone is.

Resurrection (Of others)

Vulnerable. As MePhone can resurrect his creations after they die, this will provide trouble for Caine as he needs to make sure MePhone dies so his creations can stop getting revived.

Forcefield Creation

Vulnerable. For someone on MePhone’s level, Caine is definitely going to struggle in getting past MePhone’s shields which can block him from attacks that pose a threat to him. Sure, Caine has broken a forcefield before, but that forcefield was weaker than his power.

Transformation

Ineffective. As cool as it would be for MePhone to upgrade himself to a later version, this doesn’t really change anything since he hardly gains much from his alternate forms as well as how the stat advantages and disadvantages between him and Caine would be the same.

Memory Manipulation

Ineffective. All MePhone does with this ability is dump out certain memories from his system, which wouldn’t be any useful here.

Crystal Manipulation

Ineffective. Caine doesn’t really have any crystals on himself for MePhone to pull.

Time Manipulation

Vulnerable. Caine has never been shown to resist being stopped in time, meaning that if MePhone ever landed this on him, this pretty much acts as a way to incapacitate him.

Supernatural Luck and Probability Manipulation

Vulnerable. Out of every ability MePhone has, this one is going to give Caine the most trouble given how MePhone’s passive good luck and probability manipulation scaling from Clover is going to hinder Caine from trying to do anything onto MePhone as even when MePhone isn’t aware of any danger coming towards him, Clover’s luck will still protect him from those dangers by getting him out of the way of them.


For reference, Clover with her luck was able to successfully get the things she hoped would happen, whether it’d be projectiles not hitting her even if they are AoE, causing people to do certain actions in a way that they unintentionally save her, causing certain moves to fail, and what is considered to be the worst part for Caine to handle, causing her opponents to straight up lose while she and her allies win. Because of this, Caine is going to have an extremely difficult time landing any hits onto MePhone.

Invisibility

Vulnerable. Caine has never really dealt with invisible characters in the past, and while he could theoretically use his extrasensory perception to see MePhone should he turn invisible (Scaling from Ghost Bow’s use of it), it’s only been used to see if the circus members completed their adventure or not, and there aren’t any feats of him using his extrasensory perception to detect invisible characters.

Condishawn

Vulnerable, but can counter. As much as Caine is a digital entity who shouldn’t be affected by any biological diseases, the Condishawn was able to affect MePhone despite him being an inorganic robot, meaning that it should be able to work on Caine which would make him receive all of its conditions. That said, Caine should be able to get rid of the Condishawn with his purification.

Danmaku

Vulnerable. As this provides a good amount of AoE that would hit on all sides, it would increase the odds of MePhone being able to land the Condishawn on Caine.

Body Puppetry

Ineffective. This ability is solely used for one of Yin-Yang’s halves taking full control of Yin-Yang’s body, which doesn’t really do anything against Caine.

Acrobatics

Ineffective. MePhone’s ability to jump high and do a backflip scaling from Yin-Yang and Test Tube is nice for dodging attacks, but Caine does have certain abilities such as his telekinesis that straight up reach him instantly.

Enhanced Senses

Vulnerable. With how MePhone is able to hear from far distances thanks to having Microphone and the Floor’s abilities, Caine is going to have a hard time trying to sneak up on MePhone.

Hacking

Vulnerable. Caine has been shown to be vulnerable to hacking thanks to Episode 8 of his series where Kinger was accessing Caine’s code on a computer to try to manipulate it, and thanks to possessing Test Tube’s intellectual skills in engineering, MePhone should be able to hack into Caine.

Animal Manipulation

Ineffective. As much as it’s nice to have a connection with butterflies and jellyfish… I mean, come on, how do you think this would even be remotely useful against Caine especially since those animals aren’t very strong physically?

Plant Manipulation

Ineffective. Sure, MePhone can grow plants with his presence scaling from Clover, but it doesn’t really help him deal with Caine since it doesn’t harm or hinder him in any way.

Shapeshifting

Vulnerable. Thanks to having Goo’s powers, MePhone should be able to melt himself into a puddle, puff himself up, and grow arms, with the former being useful for avoiding attacks from Caine.

Surface Scaling

Ineffective. Being able to move on walls scaling from Goo is nice for MePhone, but it doesn’t really do anything that could help him fight off Caine.

Earth Manipulation

Ineffective. As much as the Floor’s ability to quake the ground across several kilometers is nice (Something MePhone should be able to do by virtue of him creating the Floor), Caine literally flies a lot which means that the earthquakes wouldn’t really affect him.

Fragrance Manipulation

Ineffective. I mean… What did you really expect? Smelling like lavender and chamomile isn’t really helping here due to it not having any effect towards Caine at all.

Hive Mind

Ineffective. As much as MePhone could try to use Candle’s ability to link his and his allies’ minds together, they need to stand still and meditate when doing so which can leave them as sitting ducks for Caine to attack.

Precognition

Vulnerable. Caine has never dealt with people who can read the future, which means that MePhone (With the use of Candle’s ability to see up to hours into the future) should be able to read what will happen in the future to anticipate incoming attacks from Caine.

Information Analysis

Ineffective. As stated before in the Extrasensory Perception part, Caine completely lacks a soul due to his nature of being a digital being, meaning that MePhone wouldn’t be able to read his aura.

Energy Projection

Ineffective. As much as firing star projectiles is nice, it can’t really get past Caine’s absurd survivability since he will just regenerate from whatever damage he takes from them.


Out of all of the 26 unique abilities exclusive to MePhone, 13 of them are ineffective against Caine and 2 of them are things Caine is vulnerable to but can counter, but 11 of them are stuff that Caine simply doesn’t have much of an answer to if they were ever executed. This puts MePhone’s ability advantage score at 21, which is 4-6 less than Caine’s ability advantages. Sure, MePhone has 3 more abilities to pull off against Caine overall, but it appears that Caine’s quality of having more useful abilities to pull off beats out MePhone’s quantity of having more overall abilities.


Overall, this was a close category to settle. Both of them certainly have powerful abilities in their own right, with some of their abilities actually giving a good amount of trouble to the other. However, despite MePhone having slightly more abilities overall, Caine has slightly more abilities that are either superior versions to MePhone’s abilities or are unique abilities that can generally give MePhone trouble with no way for the latter to counter it once they are done. Don’t get me wrong, MePhone also has some superior versions to Caine’s abilities and especially some unique abilities that Caine doesn’t have an answer to, but Caine has slightly more of that. It’s very close, but in the end, the Blue AI is just slightly better than the Light Shimmer Egg as Caine has the slightly more powerful source overall.



Support

 In most of the previous sections, we’ve only been talking about Caine VS MePhone4. However, where would the fun be without including the very cast and staff of their games who also happen to be the very reason that their games happened in the first place? That’s right, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the full-scale army VS army battle, where we need to decide which host has the better overall support.


When it comes to the stats of both sides, it’s pretty much a copy+paste of whatever stats MePhone has on MePhone’s side as well as what Caine’s striking strength is on Caine’s side. However, Caine’s side is more convoluted when it comes to their stats given how none of Caine’s support scales to Caine’s lifting strength or speed, with the exception of the Moon and the Sun in terms of lifting strength. That said, when it comes down to everyone else’s lifting strength apart from the Moon and the Sun, the best feat that comes into mind is Pomni snapping a giant lollipop stick at 10048 kg, which is impressive… except for the fact that everyone on MePhone’s side has that value beat by scaling to Knife tearing apart parts of a vending machine at 41440088.88946028 kg, which is already 4124.21266814x stronger than Pomni’s giant lollipop stick snapping feat. In other words, the staff and cast of Inanimate Insanity is pretty much physically overpowering the residents of the Digital Circus who aren’t Caine, the Moon, or the Sun.


Speed doesn’t even help Caine’s side either since even if they all scaled to Caine’s speed, they would’ve still been far slower than everyone on MePhone’s side. Given how none of the Digital Circus residents scale to Caine in speed, they’re really only relying on Zooble’s bullet tandem feat to stay strong in speed while the Moon and the Sun (Who nobody scales to in speed) have their own Hypersonic feats. As explained earlier in the Speed section, everyone on MePhone’s side scales to Silver Spoon’s camera flash interception feat, meaning that the Sun, the Moon, and everyone else gets outsped by the cast and staff of Inanimate Insanity by 244897.524768x, 246805.817169x, and 1687561.14303x respectively, which shows that they are having an even harder time than Caine in even trying to land a hit on MePhone’s support.


Of course, stats are not the only thing being copy+pasted onto both sides, as when it comes to their abilities and arsenals, Caine’s side pretty much has all of Caine’s abilities by virtue of them having the same digital physiology, whereas MePhone’s side has a majority of MePhone’s abilities, albeit they are scattered across all of MePhone’s support to the point where some have access to certain abilities that the others don’t have. Both sides should also pretty much have access to whatever equipment Caine and MePhone have given how they are the ones supplying their support for a lot of the equipment they use in their series.


Now, when comparing every resident of the Digital Circus to each of the cast and staff members of Inanimate Insanity, there’s no doubt that the Digital Circus residents have much better abilities thanks to having all of Caine’s abilities… on paper. You see, due to their inexperience in using Caine’s powers, the Digital Circus residents haven’t really been shown to do a majority of the stuff that Caine is capable of doing, which makes sense considering how Kinger stated that they needed to put more focus into using their powers whereas Caine can only do his powers easily because of him naturally being an AI. 


Despite not using a majority of Caine’s abilities, however, some of the more commonly used abilities on Caine’s side include Elasticity, Body Control, Regeneration, Immortality, and most importantly, Subjective Reality, the latter of which is a staple that all of the circus members are able to do commonly despite their inexperience. Nonetheless, the fact that all of the Digital Circus residents inherit Caine’s insane survivability means that none of the Digital Circus cast can really get killed for good by any of the Inanimate Insanity cast. While MePhone’s side is pretty much still capable of dying for good, however, this is all made up by the fact that MePhone can revive any of his creations should they die, although he wouldn’t be able to revive Toilet, MePad, or Bot since he never created them. Nonetheless, their great speed advantage against Caine’s support should pretty much mean that they can dodge most, if not all of the attacks Caine’s support throws at them with ease.


So, with Caine’s side being unable to die because of their absurd regeneration and immortality while a majority of MePhone’s side can get revived after dying on top of being much faster, it all comes down to how both sides are supposed to defeat each other despite certain conditions that make them very difficult to put down. To understand who they’re playing with, we need to understand what characters on each side will be the most useful.


For Caine’s side, the most useful members include:

  • All of the circus members: Having gone through so many adventures together, it isn’t much of a surprise that Pomni, Jax, Ragatha, Kinger, Zooble, and Gangle have been through the worst to the point where they have many cartoony tricks up their sleeve in the form of their Subjective Reality which can allow them to get things they need simply through the power of their mind, whether it’d be creating black polygons, creating exit doors, weakening the power of guns, deflecting gun bullets towards the wielder by plugging the wielder’s gun barrel, and most importantly, powering computers not connected to anything which can allow them to manifest the code of others where they have the potential to manipulate their code and even delete them from existence. They are also pretty efficient in using guns. 

  • Bubble: Not only will his duplication give MePhone’s support trouble, but he can also trap others within himself before teleporting them to pocket dimensions upon being popped while they are still inside of him, essentially BFR’ing them in the process.

  • The Moon and the Sun: Not only are they the biggest residents of the Digital Circus who have the lifting strength to overpower the Inanimate Insanity cast, but also the Sun has the ability to fry people to a crisp from a distance.

  • Ghostly: As a ghost, everyone on MePhone’s side is going to have a difficult time in trying to hit them due to their lack of natural Non-Physical Interaction.

  • Demonic Door: It can BFR people who enter its mouth into an unsettling living room.

  • Baron Theodore Mildenhall: As a spirit, he’s not only difficult to hit for MePhone’s side due to their lack of natural Non-Physical Interaction, but also he can possess bodies.

  • Angel: Anyone who hurts the Angel is going to be dragged down to Hell by demonic hands.

  • Souls: Same reasoning as Baron.

  • Martha Mildenhall: Same reasoning as Ghostly.


For MePhone’s side, the most useful members include:

  • MePad: He is able to teleport himself and other people on MePhone’s side who are near him for mobility purposes.

  • Marshmallow: A rather surprising choice, the reason why Marshmallow is one of the most useful members on MePhone’s side is due to her Time Machine Calculator which can pause time, something that none of Caine’s support really resists, meaning that they can become incapacitated by it should it ever be used.

  • Paintbrush: With their ability to stop projectiles in mid-air with their “AMAZING DODGING SKILLS”, they can definitely help in protecting their allies from projectiles. In addition, their fire provides a great amount of AoE if it gets unleashed as a wave.

  • Bow: As a ghost, everyone on Caine’s side is going to have a difficult time in trying to hit her, though the fact that they inherit Caine’s Non-Physical Interaction means that they can still hit her. That said, Bow has telekinesis to launch people away as well as possession to possess Caine’s support to take control of one of them to then use their body to attack the other Digital Circus residents. She’s also completely immune to Caine’s existence erasure.

  • Tissues: He can give the Digital Circus residents the Condishawn, something that can hinder them should they be infected by it.

  • Dough: See Bow’s reasoning.

  • Test Tube: As the most intelligent contestant, it isn’t much of a surprise that Test Tube serves as one of the key players on MePhone’s side considering the fact that she has access to various inventions that can give the Digital Circus residents trouble such as the Tranquilizing Tracking Dart Blaster which can knock anyone hit by its darts out of cold, the InvisiBow which can turn the wearer invisible (Albeit not the bow itself, though I’d imagine that it would be difficult to see the bow if the wearer was far away enough), and her most threatening invention, the Time Machine Calculator which can create portals across time and different dimensions across an infinite multiverse, which makes it very useful for performing temporal or dimensional BFR on Caine’s support, the latter of which they would be unable to counter with their dimensional travel due to their abilities not having the range of an infinite multiverse. Apart from her inventions, Test Tube is also great at hacking, meaning that if she ever found out that all of the Digital Circus residents have code that can be accessed through a computer (Something Fan would probably come to the conclusion of given how much of a theorist he is), Test Tube could actually access everyone’s code and manipulate it just like how Kinger tried to manipulate Caine’s code in Episode 8.

  • Clover: Oh boy, where do I start… This inclusion isn’t much of a surprise at all considering the fact that Clover is going to be the most difficult character for everyone on Caine’s side to put down for one specific ability of hers that just so happens to be her most iconic trait: her luck. With this passive luck, she can avoid getting hit by attacks that are supposed to be AoE, completely stop projectiles in mid-air by doing nothing, cause others to take hits coming towards her for her, dodge traps she’s unaware of, make people do unintentional actions such as saving her or supporting her, make technology fail to load, cause items she’s after to conveniently land in her hand, cause others to get harmed at convenient times, and pretty much everything else you can think of as long she hopes it happens, including getting certain people to lose as well as getting herself and her allies to win. The worst part about this (For the Digital Circus residents) is that Clover is able to spread her luck to her allies by wishing them luck, meaning that overtime, instead of 1 lucky person they need to deal with, they need to deal with multiple lucky people who are nearly impossible to hit.

  • The Floor: With his earthquakes providing a great amount of AoE due to them spanning for kilometers, he is sure to affect those who are grounded. Additionally, the Floor can also eat whoever is on top of his mouth to BFR them underground where it will take them months to escape, with him especially being able to enlarge his mouth via Size Manipulation.

  • Candle: Even though she’s unable to read the auras of any of Caine’s support with the exception of the ghosts due to them not having any souls as a result of them being digital entities, Candle still proves herself to be useful by the fact that she can read the future to see incoming dangers so she can get others to try to prepare for them. Also, Candle can use her telekinetic powers to hurl people away.

  • Black Hole: While it’s debatable if MePhone has access to him or not (Not that it would have any effect on the results), if you do think MePhone has him, then Black Hole can send people who fall into his event horizon into his dark abyss as a way to BFR them.


With all of that in mind, both Caine and MePhone do have access to a countless amount of creations that they are able to create more of at any time, by comparing just how many allies they have who are useful, we see that Caine has more overall useful members than MePhone, but that was just the quantity part. When it comes to the actual quality of how good their allies are, the Digital Circus residents… don’t really have much of a way to put the Inanimate Insanity cast down. 


Barring the huge speed advantage MePhone’s side has, there simply isn’t much of a way for them to get past Clover and her absurd luck, and as long as Clover is around, she and the rest of the Inanimate Insanity cast are essentially untouchable. One could potentially argue that the circus members could use their Subjective Reality to score some hits on Clover by hoping that she gets hit, but not only do they need to concentrate in order for it to work, but also Clover’s luck is straight up passive meaning that it’s always in effect even during times where she’s oblivious to what is happening around her, not to mention how Clover has overall been able to do a lot more with her luck compared to all of the circus members doing things with their Subjective Reality. Hell, Clover’s luck could even screw over the circus members’ concentration via having them get distracted by things happening around them while they are trying to use their conjuring powers, meaning that the circus members wouldn’t be able to use their Subjective Reality to their fullest degree because of her.


Even if Kinger attempts to lead with existence erasure via deleting their code on a computer, Bow and Dough would simply not be affected by it at all due to their resistance to existence erasure, and MePhone (Who also resists existence erasure thanks to inheriting this from Bow and Dough) can just revive all of his creations, essentially undoing all of Kinger’s deletion work. While there is also the ghost characters to deal with who have the potential to possess members of the Inanimate Insanity cast, not only is this something they’ve dealt with before thanks to S2E6 of Inanimate Insanity, but also they have the means to actually get rid of the ghost characters through vacuums to suck them up and effectively incapacitate them, with Lightbulb especially being difficult to possess due to how she can just turn on her light to burn any ghosts who try to touch her. Though, speaking of the vacuums, the Digital Circus side just so happens to have their own vacuum capable of sucking up ghosts which could help them incapacitate Bow and Dough, though there’s still the other characters on the Inanimate Insanity side that they need to deal with. There's also the Sun who can burn people to a crisp from a distance which can especially provide a good amount of AoE, but some of the members of the Inanimate Insanity cast straight up resist fire, and for any members that do end up dying to the Sun’s heat, MePhone (Who resists extreme heat thanks to inheriting the resistance from various creations) can just revive his creations. Now, it’s


So, with no reliable way for any of the Digital Circus residents to put down the Inanimate Insanity cast, the tables now flip as we now see if the Inanimate Insanity Cast has the means to put down the Digital Circus residents despite their absurd survivability. To answer that… they do!


Thanks to the Floor being here, he’s able to eat up all of the grounded/non-flying characters on Caine’s side to take them underground and BFR them in the process. Though, one could argue that the circus members (Specifically Pomni) can just make an exit door to escape the underground and go back to the battle, as well as how Caine can just teleport any of the characters underground BFR’d by the Floor back to the battle, but that’s where the other methods of dealing with the Digital Circus residents come in! There are 2 certain characters on MePhone’s side who just so happen to have wincons that none of the characters on Caine’s side really have an answer to: those being Marshmallow with her Time Machine and Test Tube with her Time Machine Calculator. 


In Marshmallow’s case, her Time Machine not only has the ability to take Marshmallow and whoever is near her to the past to essentially temporally BFR them (With nobody in the Digital Circus being capable of travelling through time), but it also has the ability to pause time with the simple press of a button, meaning that if any of Caine’s support are caught by the time stop, they are essentially incapacitated. Meanwhile, Test Tube’s Time Machine Calculator has the same function as Marshmallow’s Time Machine being that it can temporally BFR whoever is near Test Tube when she uses it to travel back in time, and it also has the option of creating portals leading to different timelines across an infinite multiverse. Sure, Caine’s powers which everyone on the Digital Circus side has have the ability to teleport the user and others across different dimensions, but they’ve never been shown to have the range of travelling across an infinite multiverse, meaning that this would be a method of BFR that none of the Digital Circus residents can really come back from once it is done on them. That’s not the only purpose of those portals, as given the fact that they can lead to different timelines, it’s possible for Test Tube to use it to rescue other members on MePhone’s side who have been dimensionally BFR’d by anyone on Caine’s side.


Finally, there’s also teamwork to consider on both sides. Admittedly, a lot of the residents of the Digital Circus have hardly worked together in the past with only a few established groups such as the circus members, the Crocodile Bandits, and the Evil Big Tops having prior moments of teamwork, and those groups are only small. This is especially without considering the fact that Jax can be problematic for others to work with considering how episode 2 showed how he was willing to sacrifice Pomni by throwing her out of the War Rig to try to get the Crocodile Bandits which ultimately led her to being separated from the rest of the circus members, or when episode 3 showed how he threw Gangle’s comedy mask through the Demonic Door which led to Kinger dragging Pomni through the door to get her mask which led to the two being separated from the rest of the circus members. Meanwhile, the Inanimate Insanity cast has been shown to work with each other plenty of times in the past, with some established groups such as the contestants and the Unvitational Committee being present which just so happen to be much bigger established groups than any of the established groups on Caine’s side. While they can have their infight moments, they’ve otherwise managed to work together in dealing with serious issues such as when MePhone passed out from his Condishawn to the point where the contestants, Toilet, and MePad had to go to Meeple Headquarters to get a new battery for MePhone, or when all of the contestants worked together in beating the Red Line Game while trying to save each other from getting deleted by the red line. This is all without mentioning the fact that the circus members ever since Pomni showed up have only had less than a year of working together as a full team while the NPC groups were only recently created for specific adventures, whereas the contestants have been working together for years which makes sense given how the first half of a typical Inanimate Insanity season is usually involving teams being formed.


Overall, this was actually pretty straightforward. As fairly impressive as the Digital Circus residents are thanks to their survivability being the very thing making them last long on top of their Subjective Reality providing them with some unpredictable options, the Inanimate Insanity cast is really the only side that has reliable ways to put their digital opponents down for good in the form of time stop, temporal BFR, and dimensional BFR, with the chance of this happening especially increasing thanks to their huge speed advantage, Clover’s luck, and their overall better teamwork. Don’t get me wrong, the Digital Circus residents were certainly amazing in their own right, but to say that they were better is just pure insanity, because MePhone has the more impressive cast to support him overall.



Showstoppers

 At long last, we finally reach the final category! With the score being tied 4-4, it all comes down to the most important category of all. Both of these artificial hosts perceived as Gods desperately want to keep their shows going for as long as they can, but in this fight, one of their shows is about to end for good, and for them to end their opponent’s shows for good, they need to pull off the showstoppers. Essentially, this will determine who has the means to be more likely to win the fight based on everything we know about them in the previous categories.


Now, both of them have many ways to counteract each other’s abilities either thanks to themselves or their support helping them counter these abilities, meaning that in order for either side to win, they need to land one of their wincons before the other can land theirs. For Caine, he needs to land either Sealing from his cards, Transmutation, or Deconstruction if he wants to beat MePhone since the latter has no way to resist these abilities once they are done on him. Meanwhile, MePhone is only able to stop Caine for good if either he lands his own Time Manipulation to freeze Caine in time, Marshmallow uses her Time Machine to freeze time or temporally BFR Caine into the past, or Test Tube uses her Time Machine Calculator to temporally BFR Caine into the past or dimensionally BFR Caine beyond the range of his powers. Now, in theory, Caine’s support could do Caine’s wincons since they have all of his abilities, but their inexperience as well as their need to put in more concentration means that they can’t really do most of Caine’s powers, meaning that Caine himself is the only one here who can reliably do these wincons, while there are 3 different people with 1 wincon each that Caine needs to get rid of before he can get rid of the rest of MePhone’s support. The question now is, who is capable of doing their wincons first?


Well, as explained earlier in the speed section, MePhone and his support straight up far faster than Caine and his support to the point where they can be given plenty of time to do their moves first before Caine does his. However, all of the wincons both sides have access to are things that they don’t do as a first resort, so it would come down to who would be more likely to think about doing them first. That said, if one of the sides were to successfully pull off their wincons first, it would be MePhone’s side.


Ignoring the huge speed advantage MePhone and his support have, even if Caine actually thought about doing his wincons first before trying to execute them, there’s one specific character on MePhone’s side who is straight up stopping Caine from pulling any of his winning moves off just by existing. You know her, you might love or hate her, it’s Clover here saving the day! As long as she is around, her luck will essentially stop Caine from pulling off his wincons through either making Caine get hit before he can pull them off or even exploiting his weakness of lagging out from too much excitement to distract him long enough for either MePhone, Marshmallow, or Test Tube to pull off their wincons. The most broken part of Clover’s luck is especially the fact that she can just hope that Caine and the rest of the Digital Circus residents lose while she and her allies win, and once she does that, Caine essentially cannot win anymore. What’s even worse for Caine is the fact that Clover is not the only one with that godly broken good luck, as MePhone very much has this as well thanks to being her creator who gave her this ability.


For the best chance of Caine winning, he needs to take out BOTH MePhone and Clover at the same time before either of the two hope that Caine loses, before proceeding to take out Marshmallow and Test Tube, and then finishing off the rest of MePhone’s support. Taking out MePhone and Clover is already extremely difficult for Caine given how Clover’s good luck is going to make her avoid dangers that are coming towards her even if she isn’t aware of them through either making her dodge, have something or someone save her from these dangers out of nowhere, or (if she’s dealing with projectiles) completely stopping any projectile that comes at her in mid-air to make them fall normally to the ground. MePhone is especially the worse threat of the two with good luck given how he has the ability to revive his creations should any of them die, meaning that if Caine ends up killing any of MePhone’s support before MePhone himself, MePhone can just revive them afterwards. Additionally, Caine needs to kill Marshmallow and Test Tube IMMEDIATELY after killing MePhone (And Clover given how she’s the other good luck carrier, because if he doesn’t kill them in time, one of the two will end up using their respective time machines to travel back in time and save MePhone before Caine finished him off. 


Essentially, Caine’s path on who he needs to deal with first before dealing with others becomes convoluted to the point where he needs to consider locking in before he gets hit by any of the wincons of MePhone’s side and before MePhone or Clover hopes that Caine loses. On the other hand, the wincons MePhone’s side is able to pull off are a lot more straightforward thanks to them only requiring 1 step given how Caine is the only real threat with the main wincons they need to deal with, unlike Caine who requires multiple steps in trying to put MePhone’s side down in a specific order. It will ultimately take time for either MePhone, Marshmallow, or Test Tube to consider using their wincons, but with Clover’s luck being able to block Caine from doing his wincons even if he does think about doing them first, one of the 3 wincon holders on MePhone’s side will get to successfully do theirs on Caine and the rest of the Digital Circus cast to finally defeat them.


Popup: Jax once showed the ability to stop time in his mindscape sequence of Episode 9, however because it was all in his mind, it's unknown if he can actually do this ability outside of his mind. Even if he did have it, his massive speed disadvantage combined with Clover's luck getting in the way would stop him from doing this ability.


And so, that’s 4 categories Caine, 4 categories MePhone, 1 category left, and the one who is receiving that last category to win this fight altogether is… well, sorry to break this to you Caine, but the show is over for you and you have been eliminated, because MePhone managed to successfully stop it first!

Overall, this fight was actually pretty interesting to research. Both of these artificial hosts as well as their colorful casts are certainly powerful in their own right, with both of them having viable wincons to pull off against each other. However, despite the red AI of C&A having better lifting strength overall, more experience, better survivability, and slightly more effective abilities, the Meeple product had the speed, skill, intelligence, better support, and luck needed to shut his opponent’s circus show down for good.


If it wasn’t for Clover being around as well as the huge speed advantage MePhone’s support possess, then this fight would’ve legitimately been much closer given how the both of them had many ways to counter each other’s abilities as well as possessing abilities that can give each other trouble, but alas, the power of luck just had to be on MePhone’s side in order to bless him with this victory. In a sense, you can pretty much say that Clover hard carried by making her team fated to win, and that Marshmallow and Test Tube pretty much have a part in winning as well since they’re the only 2 creations apart from MePhone with viable wincons. If this was an actual Inanimate Insanity season, MePhone would’ve given them immunity by now.


As abstract as that fight was, Caine simply had too much to get over as the karma waited for him at the end, while MePhone was able to make his own reality come true. You can pretty much say that for Caine, it was HIS LOSS!


The winner is MePhone4.

Closing Thoughts


And that was my third blog! I hope you enjoyed reading it. As always, feedback and disagreements are welcome.


I’ve always wanted to make a blog for Caine ever since his series was announced to be ending on June 19, so I ended up deciding to start a blog with him back in March. After all, TADC is one of, if not, the most popular animated web series of all time, with Caine being a genuinely fun character with his powers, adventures, and jokes. By the time I ended up starting Caine’s blog, I had yet to decide an opponent for him as TADC 9 hadn’t come out at the time, but during that time, I was considering putting Caine against either Tenna from Deltarune or Four from Battle for Dream Island. Now, Tenna was already a choice being considered for another blog team around the time I started production on my Caine blog (Which just so happened to release the blog around a week before TADC 9 publicly came out), so I ended up scrapping Tenna since I wanted to come up with more original ideas. Four, on the other hand, was considered to be at the time my favorite choice for Caine before TADC 9 came out since they were both similar to each other in personality with Caine even being confirmed to be partially inspired off of Four, though I wanted to wait until TADC 9 came out before I finalized my option.


Lo and behold, the leak for TADC 9 ended up coming out, and I ended up watching the full leak. It was there I realized that Caine not only didn’t gain much in terms of power, but also it ended up strengthening my love for a certain original idea I had for Caine: MePhone4. Not only are they artificial hosts perceived as Gods from colorful shows about inhuman entities playing physical games that were fun but became gradually darker as the series went on, but a core aspect about them was the fact that in an unexpected plot twist, the people who played their games were never real to begin with, and that both artificial hosts had a spherical object in themselves that was the source of most of their power until it was taken out of them which made them powerless by the end of their arcs. Speaking of their arcs, they're about them genuinely wanting to host fun games with their guests only for them to slowly hate them overtime, and they also have a genuine fear of something that they refuse to face to the point where they want to continue their games for as long as they can. By the time their arcs ended, they would apologize for unintentionally torturing their guests before proceeding to let them free. These similar stories ultimately made me love the original idea so much that it became my new favorite matchup for Caine.


On the topic of MePhone4, I actually started work on a blog for him in December 2024 after Season 2 of Inanimate Insanity ended which included the end of his arc. However, Caine wasn’t the first idea for MePhone I had in mind, as originally, when I was making a blog for MePhone, I was going to have him against Chris McLean from Total Drama. This was the in-progress blog from 2024 I mentioned before, and I managed to work on it for a few months before taking a year-long break on that blog before scrapping it entirely out of the admitted loss of interest. The original intention for Chris VS MePhone was that it would’ve been a match between them, their staff, and their contestants, a concept that I would eventually go on to use as the core theme of Caine VS MePhone4 given how their casts were the most iconic parts of their series since they were the hosts while the rest of the main cast were guests playing their games. Despite me scrapping Chris VS MePhone, I never wanted what I had for MePhone’s research to go to waste, and thankfully, I ended up recycling that research for Caine VS MePhone once I grew to love that idea, with MePhone being finalized as my choice for Caine in his VS blog around late May 2024 after I watched the full leak of TADC 9.


Now, on the topic of the potential of the matchup, while both of these hosts admittedly haven’t been in much of a proper fight in their series, this would be made up by the fact that they would be able to use all of the equipment they’ve used in their adventures and challenges respectively to essentially put their opponent in each other’s specialty, with Caine feeling like he’s competing in a challenge while MePhone feels like he’s going on an adventure. They would have their entire casts fight each other, something that would make perfect sense since as the hosts of their games, they often instruct them to do the tasks for them, and by this point, it would pretty much feel like an average adventure for the circus members as well as an average challenge for the contestants. For the way the fight starts, I ideally see this taking place in an alternate universe where MePad never died and MePhone still had his powers from the Light Shimmer Egg as he got to host Season 4 with his entire cast in his competition only for a portal to open near them as Caine and the circus members come out of it as a result of Caine hosting another adventure for the circus members to go on where they would have an adventure in trying to survive being in a world of sentient inanimate objects. MePhone would end up being annoyed by Caine’s arrival and tell him to leave due to him disrupting his competition, but Caine would refuse and attempt to attack MePhone with his telekinesis only for MePhone to retaliate by summoning the Fist Thingy to punch Caine away, and by this point, MePhone would tell all of his contestants (As well as his staff and miscellaneous creations) that their next challenge is to defeat Caine and his circus cast, something which would then prompt Caine to summon all of the Digital Circus residents out of thin air to have all of them fight MePhone and the rest of the Inanimate Insanity cast in what’s pretty much a “Bowser VS Eggman”-esque fight.


Because you’re pretty much including the casts of both series to fight each other, you’re bound to have some interesting character interactions as well as fight interactions between the two casts, such as Pomni and Suitcase having their anxious moments while they’re trying to fight each other, Jax and Knife causing some mischief with their jerk behaviors, the ghosts of Mildenhall Manor trying to fend off Bow and Dough, Bubble and Toilet having their moments that Caine and MePhone would find annoying, the Gloinks and Gloink Queen trying to fight off the Inani-Mates, Fan trying to make a random theory about Caine which he would turn out to be right about, the Floor eating up Kinger to take him underground which would lead to Kinger becoming sane enough to wear a bucket on his head and escape the underground with his conjuring powers, Test Tube going on a computer to try to access the code for everyone in the Digital Circus to try to manipulate it, and so much more. Some of the best moments I would see would especially be Candle using her precognition to predict Caine turning into his God form to use a powerful attack on MePhone and the rest of the Inanimate Insanity cast, and what’s perhaps the best moment, Caine taking MePhone into a dark pocket dimension filled with shadowy replicas of Steve Cobs and the other MePhones who would try to attack MePhone4 while he tried to escape from them only to be saved by Test Tube opening a portal in the pocket dimension with her Time Machine Calculator to bring MePhone back into the normal world. The way how I see the fight end is where Caine becomes so berserk that he would try to finish everyone off by snapping them out of existence, only for him to suddenly freeze as a result of Clover walking right by him as she remains confused as to what is going on, which would give MePhone the opportunity to say “YOUR LOSS!” before freezing Caine and the rest of the Digital Circus residents in time before Test Tube opens up a portal with her Time Machine Calculator to send everyone on Caine’s side through it where they would never come back.


So yeah, that’s the overall fight potential, and I think it’s pretty good. Now, you might be curious about what’s next from me, and luckily for you, even though I scrapped one of my blogs, my next blog is nearing completion and will resume production right now. With this big blog being in the works since June 2025, stay tuned for that!

  “Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.” -Victor Frankl victim , Animator vs. Animation's abused stick figure and co-founder of Rocket Corp. One , Battle for Dream Island’s lonely Algebralien who craves limitless power. What does it mean to be free? To make new friends? To have the interest of helping others out? Or perhaps, both, and many more? For these two tragic antagonistic firsts of their kind, they had exactly that, but eventually got it taken away from them thanks to the actions of others closely related to them, leaving them to now seek vengeance on those who caused their trauma, including getting stronger! Will victim prove that NO ONE can stand up to him, or will One remain the last one standing ?

  “When I was a kid I had an imaginary friend and I used to think that he went everywhere with me, and that I could talk to him and that he could hear me, and that he could grant me wishes and stuff. And then I grew up, and I stopped going to church.” -Jimmy Carr Bloo , the clever and mischievous imaginary friend from Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. Snap , the adventurous and witty sentient chalk drawing from ChalkZone. It’s no surprise that in the childhoods of many people, they had the most creative and fun imaginations to the point where they would have friends made from their happy little minds to have more fun and be driven to adventure with them. However, what happens when we see two blue imaginary friends sprung to life clash in a battle full of creative possibilities? Will Bloo prove that this chalk drawing’s chance of winning is imaginary , or will Snap just show that he’s bluer than him ?
