The Stag [1] [2] is a manifestation of the pirate ship belonging to Captain Jack Higgins.
History[]
After Captain Jack's treasure was taken by Max Palopolis, the Stag manifested off the coast of New York City. A tugboat on patrol ran into fog and was attacked by three of Jack Higgins' Crew. It was driven into the harbor. Eventually, the ship reached ashore. The Ghostbusters blasted the ship, but the crew retaliated with cannon fire then throwing them into the ocean. The ship lifted off from the water and flew into the city. Captain Jack implored his crew to disembark and pillage the city as the search for the stolen doubloons continued. The Ghostbusters drove to the Palopolis Maritime Museum and was able to procure the treasure from Palopolis. Instead, they mounted a defensive on a pirate wreck exhibit outside the museum. While Captain Jack and crew broke off to take back the treasure inside, the Ghostbusters focused all four of their streams on the Stag and managed to trap it, to Captain Jack's astonishment. They rushed the Ghostbusters but were captured as well.
Powers[]
The presence of the Stag is accompanied by that of a fog. Readings taken of it before shore break indicated tremendous latent P.K.E. and buried the needle. [3] [4] It has the typical abilities of a ghost, flight and teleportation.
Description[]
A unique feature of the Stag is that it is made up of actual ectoplasmic lumber. [5]
