Tempus then released the ghosts from the Containment Unit and formed an army that would help him conquer the planet. In an alternate timeline, Egon was murdered by Tempus on J(later known as the day of the Great Spirit Uprising). He was very conscious of being 39 years old. He still took to the field on some missions, but with frustration that he was no longer as agile or quick as when he was younger. For the most part, he usually left the field work to the new members, opting to provide audio back-up from the firehouse and information on their current adversary. His role was that of a mentor for the new team of Ghostbusters. With little choice, he trained his four students in ghostbusting and helped with creating new equipment.Īfter tons of calls, Egon decided it would be best to reopen the Ghostbusters.

He changed his hairstyle at some point between Real Ghostbuster to Extreme Ghostbusters from his trademark pompadour and rat tail to a simple pulled back ponytail. His appearance changes slightly from RGB to EGB. But both are fairly equal in obsessive interests in science and lack of social skills. Ĭompared to his live action incarnation, RGB Egon is less prone to emotional outbursts and less likely to make a wisecrack. He began to age in reverse and was in danger of vanishing from existence if the accident hadn't been reenacted in time by midnight. The atomic structure of every molecule in Egon's body was reversed as a result. While trying to bust a Clock Ghost, he was also hit by the Proton Streams. When believing that his death was imminent in a ploy to stop Ragnarok from occurring, he uttered Janine's name with a slight tone of sorrow and regret.Įgon was often the victim of scientific accidents. One of the few times he ever showed genuine terror was shortly after a near-death experience by getting knocked off the World Trade Center, saved only by Winston's masterful control of Ecto-2.
