Full Name: Dr. Egon Spengler
Nicknames: None, though SOMEONE should have dubbed him 'Mad Scientist'. Seriously.
Age: Early 30s to late 40s
Height: ?(Higher end of average)
Weight: ?(Lower end of average)
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Alliance: Good
Home: USA
Franchise: Ghostbusters
Physical Description: Spengler fits the usual description of the 'nerd' stereotype. He's relatively tall, remaining barely in the 'average' range. He has a head of thick black hair. In fact, some would consider it in the range of a small 'afro'. He wears a large pair of small-rimmed glasses, which cover his brown eyes. Egon usually wears a suit of some sort. Though he does don the Ghostbusters' uniform – consisting of a brown jumpsuit with a name tag on the left breast and a Ghostbusters symbol on the right shoulder – when the situation calls for it. Egon is, perhaps, the thinnest Ghostbuster.
Weapons: Because of where I take him from canon, Egon here doesn't have his full range of weaponry. He does, however, have the following: The proton pack – A hose-shaped object which fires a beam of energy. Referred to as an 'unlicensed nuclear accelerator', among other things. Don't cross the streams.
The P.K.E Meter – Not so much a 'weapon', but the fact that it detects ghost does get it honorable mention here.
And, last but not least, the Containment Unit – Similar to Danny Phantom's Fenton Thermos, it holds ghosts.
Abilities/Powers: N/A
Skills: Being a scientist, Egon, of course, has an above-average intellect. His ability to stay calm under fire also gets honorable mention. Casually saying 'I am terrified beyond rational thought' indeed.
Personality: Egon is bookish and socially awkward. He doesn't express his emotions well and has described himself as "always serious." Egon doesn't handle stressful situations well, as evinced by his statement that he was "...terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought," when facing the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. This is not OBVIOUS, however, with how Egon usually holds himself. He CASUALLY mentioned his terror. Occasionally Egon is given to understatement; he initially only states that crossing the streams would be "bad". Egon has a very dry sense of humor, once jokingly stating that most women would be "more interested in his epididymis," rather than his intellect. He is not immune to anger, as under duress he has been shown to swear twice in the first movie. He even lunged at Walter Peck in anger when Peck ordered them arrested for the disruption regarding the shutdown of the Containment Grid, despite the fact Peck himself was entirely responsible. He will also on occasion smirk and give a wisecrack. Generally speaking though, Egon remains largely pragmatic and straight-to-the-point when it comes to his demeanor.
History: Egon was very interested in paranormal phenomenon, even while working with both Ray Stantz and Peter Venkman at the University. He and Ray Stantz studied paranormal literature in their spare time, and were interested in theories of reincarnation. Egon was usually the first to interview case subjects-adding to their mantra, "We're ready to believe you." Examples were Dana Barrett from her Zuul encounter and her carriage phenomenon with Oscar. Even people Peter called "schizo" always went to either Egon or Ray to describe their paranormal experiences, no matter how far fetched their stories were. For his part, Venkman once took back everything negative he said about him, rewarding the fellow scientist with his favorite candy bar.
Egon also developed the technology behind the P.K.E. meter, the proton pack, the trap, and the Storage facility. He was also aware of the danger of crossing the streams. He spent a lot of time focusing on the stability of the Storage facility, and was concerned about the possibilities of a PKE surge of dangerous proportions. Egon was particularly critical of Walter Peck's actions and his attitude that Ghostbusters, Inc. was responsible for the explosion of the Containment Unit that occurred when Peck ordered a municipal worker to shut the unit down. After their encounter with Stay Puft, Egon suggested an atypical solution when he recommended blasting Gozer's dimensional portal while crossing the proton streams to reverse the particle flow and send Gozer back to her/its dimension.
He did not, however, expect it to backfire. It would appear that they MISSED Gozer's dimension, instead firing into Dimensional Island. It would appear that it did not react well to perceived attempts to destroy it, as it pulled Dr. Spengler in, leaving the rest alone to handle Gozer.
Egon once tried to drill a hole in his own head, which "would have worked" if Venkman hadn't stopped him. This process is known as Trepanation.
