If I'm using Boomerang or Ultron or someone with two or more attack arrows, can they perform multiple Energy Explosion attacks in one turn, reducing the damage down to one (and then raising it back up with enhance and SHIELD ability, heh-heh)?
You have it almost right. They can target multiple figs with a single attack and not make multiple attacks. Not only will they take additional damage from Enhancement and Shield but if the targets are adjacent they will take "splash" damage from the adjacent target as well.
If a character has 2 or more bolts, they can target 2 or more opposing characters with a single attack, having the damage dealt reduced to one click? Is that correct? And if so, can powers such as energy explosion and pulse wave be used against each target of this multi-attack?
Oh, and what is splash damage? Does it only apply to the damage dealt to adjacent figures of a character targeted by energy explosion?
Yes, that's correct. One attack, multiple targets, 1 click. And yes, Energy Explosion may be used in a multiple-target attack like this. Pulse Wave cannot, however---it already hits all targets within half-range, so allowing multiple targets has no meaning.
Splash is the term for the damage of adjacency associated with Energy Explosion, yep.
Your judge played the targets right (it sounds like the targets are adjacent) but not the figures behind the targets. The figures behind the targets would only take "splash" damage. (They are not the targets of the EE.) So any given figure would take one point of damage for each target that is adjacent to. (Which in your case, it sounds like 2 adjacent targets so 2 points of damage.)
The reason that the targets took 2 was because of -- 1 from the attack itself and 1 from the splash from the adjacent target. (This also assumes that both targets were hit. If a target isn't hit, there is no splash.)
