A demonic ghost taking the form of a tall traveling salesman. He approached several innocent people in New York ([[Eduardo Rivera|Eduardo]] included), offering to grant their wishes only to twist them into something horrible. He was finally stopped on his way out of town by the Ghostbusters when Eduardo gave [[Kylie Griffin|Kylie]] the idea to ask him to grant one more wish before he left: that he not grant her wish. Confused by this paradoxal wish, Duophanes took on his original form, letting the Ghostbusters capture him.

Once he hears someone's wish, Duophanes can grant it using a release of power that he keeps in his briefcase. In addition, the creatures created/transformed by his power are not ecto-based but actually real, making proton beams ineffective against them. If someone originally turns down his offer to make their wishes come true, he demonstrates the ability to tempt them against their senses until they make a wish, often with his slogan "No currency required, no payment do I need. Satisfaction completely garaunteed".

A demonic ghost taking the form of a tall stereotypical traveling salesman. He approached several innocent people in New York (Eduardo included), offering to grant their wishes only to twist them into something horrible. He was finally stopped on his way out of town by the Ghostbusters when Eduardo gave Kylie the idea to ask him to grant one more wish before he left: that he not grant her wish. Confused by this paradoxal wish, Duophanes took on his original form, letting the Ghostbusters capture him.

Personality

Duophanes is a slick salesman, always approaching people with his slogan & getting them to tell him what their wishes are. The way he shows their wish as they would like it to be granted in his briefcase also shows that he always knows exactly what they want, & the way he warps their wishes is just his sadistic choice.

Powers

Once he hears someone's wish, Duophanes can grant it using a release of power that he keeps in his briefcase. In addition, the creatures created/transformed by his power are not ecto-based but actually real, making proton beams ineffective against them. Duophanes can twist the wish only within the exact wording of it.

If someone originally turns down his offer to make their wishes come true, he demonstrates the ability to tempt them against their senses until they make a wish, often with his slogan "No currency required, no payment do I need. Satisfaction completely garaunteed".

Worse still is that once he grants enough wishes in an area, Duophanes will try to leave it to find a new place to terrorize. If he manages to do so, then the effects of all the wishes he granted there become permanent. His human disguise also acts as a shield, protecting him from the Ghostbuster's proton beams and ghost traps. As a result, he has only one weakness: someone making a wish that can be used against him or one that creates a paradox.
