Matter can't be converted into energy, just changed from one phase to another. Wally's body matter seems to have converted from solid to gas. Sorry to be a killjoy, guys.

Umm...you're not doing well in science are you? the foundation of e=mc2 is to account for the mass imbalance that occurs during nuclear reactions where significant energy is released while a new different mass is created. That energy comes about because the mass is directly converted to energy, which typically occurs because of the mass were afflicted by significant amounts of energy itself, as is the case with Wally.
