Gets my kicks above the waistline, Sunshine.
Wasn't Mimi left non-responsive? I don't remember if Alec ever solved that particular problem. Like, they won't die immediately, but they might not be able to do anything else...

Maybe Sophia was currently phasing her head through something when the powers got turned off?
Awful? Yes. Hilarious? Also, yes.

I think with a worldwide alert about an Endbringer attack, the only folks not directly in danger were probably glued to the TV to listen for how it goes, thanking their stars it wasn't their city.
Toybox is in a pocket dimension, but there is a good enough chance that it has a fail-safe by dumping the contents. If Strider was mid-port --well splat. If that one Accord cape was in the mirror universe --never found. Grey boy victims are suddenly bleeding out all over the place.
And here is a possibility. When he starts the chain for targeting Scion, some of the first spells might have disconnected the shards in ways that caused phasers to unphase (Shadow Stalker), or reform in human form as they stuttered. We don't know all the spells he might have put in there by way of his Goonions. Mass featherfall? Mass stoneskin? Slow?
I can vaguely see Glory Girl doing one last batch of collateral damage --through a billboard maybe-- then she lands in a heap and regen keeps her alive to heal back to teenager.
Child murderer? Unlikely.
Now, any hidden cape pilots flying civilian airliners might just have an issue, but most of those have a copilot for a reason. Bus drivers? Well, taking the bus was already taking your life in your own hands.
Bird Cage? They were all sentenced to death already.
Yeah no
They are fucking dead.
I doubt whatever fail safe was made would account for the ENTIRE POWER SYSTEM vanishing.
And no on the spell chain stuff too. That sounds way too specific and It would have been mentioned.
And remember that not everyone on the birdcage was guilty
Oh man i forgot about the gray boy bubbles...

I admit, the part I find particularly interesting is that (depending on rules interpretation), Hearts Ease should have cured any lingering or recent trauma that all parahuman's currently have.
So in theory, you now have a vast collective of non-traumatized pseudo-military trained cops everywhere that there was a PRT.

All of Alec's attempts with powers gained in-universe failed, to one degree or another.
However, when he was talking with Legend in the man's office while collecting the bounties on the 9, Alec placed a Dimension Anchor and, within the protected space, finally quit avoiding magic and used Regenerate on Mimi.
After a few moments, the woman was cognizant, coherent and horrified by what she'd done while under the influence of drugs/powers.

This was an epic finale btw.
Just amazing. Loved it.
Side note, I cannot wait for Alchemist to move to whichever world he goes next (either back to DC or another world) and he pulls out the Simurgh frog ad tries to explain to someone that this is the most powerful precognitive and mass manipulator in existence.
Even better if it's a setting with a Witch, so that she ends up paranoid that their collection of toads are planning to take over the world.

Wait so regenerate also fixed whatever Mimi had before getting powers?-
Why does it feel like ive asked this before? That was one hell of a dejavu
Um, if Heart's Ease transferred through the Shard network to all the humans possessed by the Shards, then didn't Toad do so as well? Did tens of thousands of people just turn into frogs? And millions get sent to Hell along with Zion, when he Entagled a Wish to kill the Shard network? If not, why is one Entangled spell going this far, and the other not?

I guess he can just control whatever gets targeted or not? Im not sure really.

Nope! The item world for his big ruby just decided to be Steven Universe themed while he was inside it, clearing out impurities to improve what would become to heart of his magimech. Probably as a funny easter egg for those familiar with the series.
It's not the first time that Alec has added qualifiers to the limitations of Entanglement during the casting. During that segment, it outright states that Regeneration was cast with Entanglement without limit but that Toad was specifically aimed at the Shards.
Alec outright told Minnie a few chapters back that he'd be using a diamond to condemn the gods
I still think it'd be fitting and hilarious to stuff the Ziz into a magic 8-ball.

@Mister Ficser does this count as solving Entropy because Hell won't let Scion escape, not even in Death?

Id say he should go for it, would be funny.
Also did regenerate fix Mimi's mental issues before triggering?
After a fashion, yes.
Hell is a font of infinite energy and exists without the concept of limited space. It is, technically, an answer for the Entities. Unfortunately (Or fortunately for everyone else) the space-fungi don't have a concept of higher or lower planes of existence. They are very much limited to the mundane, physical realms without outside 'assistance'.
Mimi's mental issues from before her trigger were not fixed by Regenerate, no. That spell only repairs damage done to flesh and bone.

Alec really fits well into Worm, for all his griping. Hard men making hard choices, except that a thick layer of something [self righteousness, pride, etc] keeps the choices from being that hard.
For one, Dragon is tinkertech living in tinkertech, so she should be dead. For another, he just killed a lot of people, some of whom undoubtedly did not deserve it.
Killing Zion and Eden is one thing. Inducing seizures and possibly killing a few thousand often innocent people.... That's another.
It does kinda fit with the dehumanization that has characterized this thread's general opinion of Worm. [A little less Alec himself, in this version- it was absolutely present in the planet buster version][Alec just goes around lamenting about how much of an asshole everybody else is, while he basically steamrolls his issues]
While I'm here: Alec dunking on Cauldron is justified but not particularly punchy. Why? Because Alec really doesn't need to make hard choices. He can just say 'gimme a month or two and I'll kill the endbringers and Entities both'. Cauldron doesn't have that luxury. This doesn't excuse Cauldron's evil doing, but it does mean Alec's invective are much less weighty by virtue of lacking any cost to him.
Despite all the above, I do enjoy this story for what it is: sparky, slightly depressed wish fulfilment.

All shards were sent to heck.
Anyone inside a pocket space of sorts died (rip toybox), and maybe everyone on the birdcage.
Outside most capes should be fine with regenerate active... Maybe, people will probably still die.
All capes lost their powers which include the undersiders and Taylor. Hope rachel is fine since her shard kinda messed with her...
On a grimm note... Uh it would not suprise me if the amount if sudden suicides suddenly went up.
Ive said it before but as much as he dislikes them, Alec is pretty much the same as Cauldron, just with even more advantages than them and less desperate.
Heck if he had gotten into contact with them as soon as possible this story would be like max 10 chapters long. But again, abbadon shenanigans.

Where'd you find this version of Regenerate? The one I know of specifically can't cure something like brain damage on single-headed creatures, even if it can regrow missing heads on multi-headed creatures, so unless Mimi had a secret second head (no, even a Kuato wouldn't help because that's a separate creature) this wouldn't have worked.
Keep in mind that Regenerate can't even cure most status effects; even rather basic status effects like poison and disease are beyond it. Missing a giant chunk of your brain, even if something like that isn't instantly lethal, would definitely fall into the status effect category, rather than the HP-damage-plus-energy-levels that Regenerate would target.
Also of note is that the Regenerate in that reference is an instant effect spell, so all of this stuff about people falling out of the sky and then regenerating wouldn't work either. The only time that Regenerate is not instant effect is the corner case where it's regenerating a missing limb that isn't present; that's the only part that takes 12-120 seconds.

And Regenerate would fix it, even if the removal of her powers didn't instantly shunt her out from normal matter instantly.
There will be deaths with all the powers going bye bye and all the trauma, but the former powered themselves should live through most of it with that Regenerate replacing not just the brain parts they lose.
Perhaps you might consider reading the description of your spell a little more closely.
Here, let me quote the relevant part-
"The subject's severed body members (fingers, toes, hands, feet, arms, legs, tails, or even heads of multi-headed creatures), broken bones, and ruined organs grow back."
Unless I'm wildly off my mark, that should mean that brain injuries which are not immediately lethal (Which makes up a surprising amount, actually) would also be repaired.

So, brain injuries that are immediately lethal, don't get fixed?
There are multiple versions of the spell, such as : Regenerate
the 1/2e edition, specifically. If body parts aren't present, it could take up to 90 minutes to regenerate a body part with the necromantic version. Early versions of healing spells were VERY costly and much higher level than they needed to be, because it made for a grimmer game.
