SUPPORT FLICKERING MYTH: Order via Sideshow Collectibles
Dr. Peter Venkman, professor of the occult, is the front-man of the group. A first among equals, his fellow Ghostbusters by-and-large will follow his lead in most things. Cocky, brash and headstrong, Venkman’s unparalleled ability to take nothing seriously can have the effect of carrying the team through most situations on the strength of his bravado. Of course, it just as frequently gets them into trouble…
Egon Spengler is the team’s psychokinetic theorist. The foundation of everything that is The Ghostbusters sprung straight from his brain. While other members of the team excel at the more worldly aspects of Ghostbusting, without Egon’s constant intellectual contributions, there’d be little for the rest of them to do. But that’s not to say that he’s afraid to get his feet wet. Once the action is on, Egon is right there in the front lines, an unlicensed nuclear accelerator strapped to his back, providing real-time analysis of the situation and helping the team to implement any strategies necessary for busting that ghost.
Dr. Ray Stantz provides the middle ground between Venkman’s brash irreverence and the high-minded intellectualism of Egon. He’s the team’s engineer, transforming Egon’s theories into something tangible that the team can use in their work. His childlike demeanor makes him a bit awkward in most social situations. But if you’re looking for an unlicensed nuclear accelerator that can effectively combat a four-fold cross rip, Stantz is your guy.
Winston Zeddemore is the team’s gunslinger. Although he came late to the Ghostbusters, he can wield a proton pack like one born to it—better even than the creators of that technology. Having applied to the job on a lark, Winston had to be made into a believer by constant conflicts with spirits, specters, and the occasional angry, dark demigod. Once he fully realized the magnitude of the psychokinetic incursions in New York City, however, Winston made himself an indispensable part of the team.
