Energy Explosion vs. WWE Team Ability

A legal target is adjacent to a WWE character that is on click number 1. Would the "splash" damage from Energy Explosion damage the WWE character if hit? In other words, does the "become targets" stipulation override the "can't be the target" rule?

Quote

WWE Rules: This character can’t be the target of range attacks or Outwit if: they’re on click #1, they’re on a click with a blue click #, -or- they’ve already been targeted by a range attack this turn. Protected: Pulse Wave.

Quote

ENERGY EXPLOSION RANGE: Make a range attack, and all other characters adjacent to an original target also become targets. Hit characters are dealt 2 damage instead of normal damage.

Looking for ways to manage these little beasts from range.

It should. "Becomes" is supposed to overrule illegal game states. WK rulings show that "becomes" beats cosmic entity trait, and allows you to make a character attack itself. If they decided that it couldn't get a WWE character, then everybody complaining that WWE is getting too much love from WK would have a really good argument.

Quote

“BECOMES”
Some effects cause a character to become the target, or hit or missed target, of an attack and use the term “becomes.” When this occurs, the affected character(s) automatically become whatever the effect specifies and bypass any effects that would cause the attack or hit or miss to be illegal.

I ruled it the other night just as ClixCommand3r stated the other night.

Contrary to popular belief, I do know what I'm doing
