Poso[2] is a Class 7 Organizer with aspirations of ascending the ranks.

History[]

Poso wanted to ascend to a supreme level of ghost authority called "The Ghostfather" by having his goons abduct Janine and Louis and then using them to threaten the Ghostbusters into handing over all their equipment.[3] With the equipment at his disposal, he could control every ghost on the East Coast.[4] Poso had a sidekick named Shifter, who was captured by the Ghostbusters two weeks ago due in part to Poso's scheming.[5] Shifter was extracted out of the Containment Unit to help them. However, Egon Spengler knew Shifter would try to pull a fast one, so he used a device to use on Shifter that would pull him like a magnet if he tried to fly away.

Shifter told the Ghostbusters Poso's plans and he went to Poso's lair in Ghost Town, New Jersey with Peter Venkman to end the crook's scheme. Janine and Louis were saved. Shifter then used the device controlling him to help capture Poso. He removed the collar part around his neck and had it stuck on Poso's wrist. Shifter then activated the control and tossed it in the trap, causing Poso to fly into the trap and get captured. After Poso was trapped, Shifter was granted the privilege to roam around free.

  • On page one of Ghostbusters Volume 2 Issue #12, Poso makes a non-canon cameo on a wanted poster.
  • On page 15 of Ghostbusters Volume 2 Issue #18, Poso's file makes a non-canon cameo on the computer.
