The Collectors are a group of four demonic entities who suddenly appeared on the physical plane and abducted the Ghostbusters to another dimensional plane of existence.
History
The Collectors, when summoned properly, can make people disappear. The summoning ritual itself will drive the spell caster insane. They were known to be involved with an incident in Jamestown and the disappearances of Amelia Earhart and D.B. Cooper. [1]
In February, the Collectors teleported to the physical plane and split up to capture each of the Ghostbusters. Peter Venkman was the first taken while he was walking to the Ritz Cafe with Special Agent Melanie Ortiz. The demon simply stated he 'had come for Peter' and refused to come at a later time. It shot its thrower and wrangled Peter. The demon then pulled Peter into his chest cavity and the two vanished. At the same time across Manhattan, the other Ghostbusters were taken in similar fashion. Egon Spengler was taken from the second floor of the Firehouse, Ray Stantz was taken while out on a bust, and Winston Zeddemore was taken from Tiyah's Apartment. Janine Melnitz formed a new team and try and find the Ghostbusters but made no progress after three months. The Ghostbusters, meanwhile, were stranded in another dimension by their captors.
Description
Based on the appearance of the Collector who took Peter, the Collectors base their physical traits on the Ghostbuster they were tasked with capturing.
Tobin's Spirit Guide
In Tobin's Spirit Guide, the Collector's entry is in Greek and refers to a place called Abbadon, the realm of the dead, in reference to their interdimensional limbo.
Powers
The Collectors can teleport at will to the physical plane and take humans with them by stuffing them into their chest cavity. The Collector that took Peter was able to fire an ectoplasmic version of the Proton Stream to wrangle his prey.
Trivia
- The Collectors are loosely visually based on the Peoplebusters from The Real Ghostbusters episode "Flip Side"
