* Opposes: [[Pantheon/FearInducers The Bogeyman]]
* Always called when there's something strange in the neighborhood. Even if some people think the number called is considered lame after a while, business is still going strong for them and they're ready to believe anyone that calls them.
* Now if someone asks them if they're gods, they can say YES!!!
* Probably the only Mad Scientist gods that [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} Balthier]] does not oppose. No one ever questions him about it.
* Should any news reporters such as April O'Neil be absent from their activities, Venkman sometimes reports events of the supernatural throughout the pantheon.
* Some deities suspect that there is some sort of CommonalityConnection between Venkman and Garfield. It's a bit complicated to state fully, though the live-action depictions of each are portrayed by [[Creator/BillMurray a certain person]] while the animated depictions of them are by a different, but shared, person.
* Venkman is the current human host for Osmosis Jones, largely because [[Creator/BillMurray something about Venkman reminds Ozzy about his original human host]]. Neither of them have any issues with that.
* When [[Pantheon/TimePlacement Phil Connors]] ascended, he was shocked at how Venkman looks like him, while also being a bit of a selfish jerk like himself before being trapped in a neverending Groundhog Day.
* On an infrequent basis, they often have to combat Brachydios (and the Raging variant as well), given their experience in dealing with slime. The group consider this to be challenging, especially compared to dealing with ghosts.
* For some reason, Ray still won't talk about the time that he tried to visit a house that [[Pantheon/{{Ghosts}} Casper]] was at and got scared off by some ghosts that were there.
* The four have plenty of admiration towards Luigi, given that the latter visited some haunted mansions in the past to go ghost-hunting (even if Luigi isn't the bravest member of the Pantheon). They consider the plumber to be an honorary member of the group because of it.
* Brief currently has an internship with the group, particularly since he views the four as inspirations ([[ShoutOut and the fact that he wears a similar costume and backpack]]).
** In addition, since Panty and Stocking hunt ghosts as well, the duo sometimes works with the Ghostbusters...provided that Panty and Stocking aren't doing their own things at the moment.
* They have commended Mickey, Donald, and Goofy for [[WesternAnimation/LonesomeGhosts making an upstart ghost-busting group]], even if it isn't the strongest group out there. Goofy's willing to prove to the Ghostbusters that the Ghost Exterminator Agency ain't afraid of no ghosts.
* Danny Fenton has proven to be a highly valuable ally for the four given his ability to find ghosts and defeat them. He is often called for help whenever the Ghostbusters are having a difficult time battling certain malevolent ghosts.
** With the ascension of Erma, she has also proven her worth as a valuable asset to the team, helping them keep track of and holding down some of the stronger and more powerful ghosts here. She also has taken a liking to their team pet, Slimer, going on candy store raids with him at times.
* They are opening up positions for newcomers to take up should these particular people have an interest in busting ghosts. They're just as open to offshoots of their own unit as well (an all-female team is just one of the offshoots that's happening).
* Currently, there are three ghosts that the group is trying to target to prevent catastrophic damage to the entire Pantheon: King Boo, Spooky, and Dark Danny. There are suspicions among many that the three ghosts will team up to create a ghostly calamity. Naturally, the Ghostbusters are trying to prevent such a ghostly team-up from happening.
** Likely because of that, various other mechanics such as Tails and Reed Richards have offered to help improve the Ghostbusters' technology to make defeating the more dangerous ghosts easier.
* Although capturing and defeating the dangerous ghosts is important to them, they are still called on to handle mischievous prankster ghosts like Gengar and Rotom. [[http://img2.smackjeeves.com/images/uploaded/comics/b/b/bbcbe8b8bQe9Y.png The Ghostbusters have already dealt with Rotom before]].
* After review of the [[ComicBook/GhostbustersIDWComics Tiamat Incident]], it was decided to ascend the other five official members of the Ghostbusters who participated in said incident. Now all ghosts in the Pantheon are more alert over the presence of the nine Ghostbusters.
* Although unrelated to the deity that is sister to Gozer, the Ghostbusters are not on friendly terms with Tiamat, especially Winston, who lost someone important to himself [[MindWipe that no one else can remember as a result of Tiamat's actions.]]
* Have been hired by Mike and Sulley to help put a stop to the Bogeyman scaring children.
* They are keeping tabs on [[Pantheon/CriminalPunishment Jack Horner]], on the grounds that he may still actually be a ghost. It also doesn't help that he was/is the Jack-O'-Lantern.
* Kylie Griffin makes frequent visits to the House of Pantheon/{{Knowledge}} whenever the main four Ghostbusters are on an active case, as the House of Knowledge contains information on all known ghostly deities or entities that inhabit the Pantheon, and she relays information she finds to them. She became close friends with Luigi, and often helps him when King Boo causes trouble.
* Melaine Oritz is not sure what to think of all the aliens in the Pantheon, or of [[Pantheon/PlainNeutral Agents K and J]], since her first run-in with the Ghostbusters involved a case of the ghosts of Human soldiers who handled Roswell popping up as "alien ghosts", and since her mortal partner in the FBI was obsessed with ghosts.
* No one in the Pantheon is really fond of Ron Alexander, especially the ghosts who are aware of his tenure as a Ghost Smasher, who dispersed ghosts instead of captured them. Also, [[ChildHater he hates children who annoy him]]. He tried to bust [[Pantheon/{{Ghosts}} Casper]] once when the friendly ghost called him out on his attitude. Regardless, his technological genius is still acknowledged, having been able to reverse-engineer the technology originally developed by Egon and maintain it.
* Peter Venkman loved the fact that Janine Melnitz was finally ascended to the Pantheon, if only because he got his secretary back to handle all the paper-work for him. Meanwhile, Winston was happy that he and Janine could change hands from time to time on managing the three {{mad scientist}}s of the group. A general consensus among their allies is that the Ghostbusters is that the ship began running much more smoothly since Janine ascended, showing how well she held the business together.
* The Ghostbusters immediately put the Rookie to work with testing out some prototype equipment, modified to deal with the new varieties of ghosts, spirits and Gods to be found in the Pantheon. He reassures himself that he can still come back even if he does get blown up, now that he's a God. Nevertheless, he already had some street cred as a professional Ghostbuster before the Tiamat Incident, having played a role in [[VideoGame/GhostbustersTheVideogame the Ivo Shandor Incident]], and setting up his own Ghostbusters branch in Chicago.
* The Ghostbusters once had a run-in with an incarnation of Death as a result of Ron Alexander's screw-up with his original plan for dispersing ghosts as a Ghost Smasher. This Death was trapped in a magical bag for decades [[spoiler:by Eugene Visitor, a friend of Egon's who seemingly died]], which caused excess psychokinetic energy to build up, energy which Death was responsible for siphoning. Once released, Death quickly took care of the problem caused, which had manifested as a super-powerful Ghost that broke out of several dozen Traps linked to a Megatrap able to sap [[PhysicalGod Gozer's essence.]]
** [[Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem Death of the Endless]] holds no grudge against Egon's friend, and is simply happy to have one of her children back. She simply advises them to make sure no one pulls the same trick on her.
* Gets along well with [[Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases Ellen Ripley]], even if sometimes they get scared of her destructive methods. Venkman has hit on her, and promised the Ghostbusters will always protect the child Ripley looks after ([[Film/GhostbustersII they know what happens if something goes wrong]]).
