In General

• Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: While they all have the classical tan jumpsuits from the movies, they also have alternate jumpsuits of different colors.
• Composite Character: They are a composite of their original movie selves and their Real Ghostbusters incarnation. Their membership eventually expands to characters from the IDW comics, Ghostbusters: The Video Game, Extreme Ghostbusters and even the 2016 reboot.
• Destructive Saviour: The Ghostbusters are very effective at capturing ghosts, but their primary weapons, the proton packs, are terribly inaccurate and burn through whatever they hit when they miss (which is often). That's not even getting into the larger threats, which tend to end up leveling city blocks before the Ghostbusters stop them. Gozer blew up the top few floors of a high rise building as a consequence of stopping her.
• Hunter of Monsters: Well, hunters of ectoplasmic entities, which often happen to be monstrous.
• Paranormal Investigation: Although they're more like a decontamination crew than detectives or investigators.
• Reimagining the Artifact: Like the TMNT, the Ghostbusters are now set on Star City thanks to the devastation of New York City during the Manhattaning in 1987.
• Who You Gonna Call?: They're the Trope Namers, as it's their Catchphrase when advertising their business of investigating paranormal activities and capturing/neutralizing ectoplasmic entities.
• Working-Class Hero: Most of its members come from working class backgrounds.

Original Team

Peter Venkman

^{Click for Ghostbuster Look} 

"The Mouth" of the team who functions as something of a leader due to being the most forward and direct with clients, critics, the press, etc. Always ready with a sarcastic quip when things turn dire.

---

• Adaptational Attractiveness: Downplayed, Peter is slightly more attractive than his counterpart in the film. Key word being "slightly".
• Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: The brunet to Egon's blonde and Ray's redhead.
• Brilliant, but Lazy: He is a fairly smart guy. If only he cared enough to do anything with his smarts. He has PhD's in both psychology and parapsychology, but uses mostly the psychology one to help him get together with girls.
• The Casanova: He mostly uses his smarts and people skills to hook up with girls, he even helped Ray a bit with that.
• Circus Brat: Grew up as a carnival barker, although he eventually saved enough money to go and study at Midwestern University, leaving his family behind.
• Con Man: Thanks to his carnival past and skills at manipulation, he managed to swindle universities and bluff his way into obtaining a parapsychology degree.
• Deadpan Snarker: Full stream.
• The Face: Peter is the group's ambassador and generally does the talking.
• Glory Hound: The primary reason he's the face of Ghostbusters Inc. is that he wants his face in the newspapers, getting positive press whenever possible.
• Good Is Not Nice: Has the heart of a hero but definitely not the manners.
• Guile Hero: Can trick and bluff his way out of any pinch.
• Last-Name Basis: He's usually referred to by his last name.
• The Leader: By default, due to being the group's front man who's always the first to step forward.
• Lovable Coward: For all his bravado, he's not exactly a brave guy; he'll step up to the plate if necessary, but very reluctantly, and will happily allow someone else to go first.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: He is a very intelligent man, but he comes off more like a Casanova Wannabe. He obviously doesn't have any real interest in parapsychology or psychology. Despite all this, the very fact that he was able to become a scientist in those fields speaks volumes of what he is capable of when he works at it.
• Official Couple: He and Dana Barrett are on-and-off fiancees.
• Parental Substitute: Treats Oscar Barrett almost like his actual son.
• Phony Phony Psychic: He even pretended to be a psychic, and while Egon had his suspicions, Peter distracted him by introducing him to Ray.
• Punch-Clock Hero: He's Only in It for the Money and treats what he does as a the paying job it is, not some selfless mission or higher calling for the good of mankind.

Ray Stantz

^{Click for Ghostbuster Look} 

"The Heart" of the group, he's a scientist and inventor like Egon but also easily the most fun-loving, most enthusiastic member of the team who likes nothing more than uncovering and battling new ghosts.

---

• Admiring the Abomination: He gets boyishly excited by a lot of the weird, gross and terrifying stuff they encounter.

• Cool Aunt: His aunt Lois motivated his interests in the occult and other esoteric pursuits, even giving him free reign of all the books on the occult she had kept in her private collection.
• The Engineer: While Egon is typically the group's strategist during missions, Ray is the mechanic and practical inventor.
• Genius Ditz: For the guy who was behind the creation of the proton packs and the Ecto-1, he sure doesn't have a lot in the common sense department.

• Must Have Nicotine: Ray has a mild nicotine addiction.
• Official Couple: Currently engaged to Jenny Moran.
• Omnidisciplinary Scientist: He's a master engineer, metallurgist and astronomer, he's also an expert chemist, historian, biologist (including micro- & marine biology), marine spongiologist, physicist and an amateur architect.
• Omniglot: He's fluent in eight ancient languages.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: He turned out very different from his siblings. His older brother Carl Stantz is a conservative, retired military, married with two sons and an alcoholic who hates terrorists, homosexuals and parapsychology, while his younger sister Jean Stantz is a journalist, is divorced, a Liberal, has a daughter, and is a feminist with two lovers of both genders. The only thing Carl and Jean have in common is that they hate Peter Venkman. All three siblings rarely see each other.
