| ~ Prime Evil |
Prime Evil is the main antagonist of the famous animated series Filmation's Ghostbusters.
He was voiced by Alan Oppenheimer.
Role[]
He is a powerful evil ghost,with a dominant personality and a self-proclaimed lord of all ghosts. A stubborn enemy of Jack Kong, Eddie and the gorilla Tracy, aims to conquer the world and resides at the Hauntquarters somewhere in the Fifth Dimension / Ghost Limbo.
He known for creatively punishing said ghostly minions' failures in delightfully karmic ways. For example, in "The Headless Horseman Caper," Fangster receives Vampire Fleas for his failure. At other times, though, he'd simply zap them to a pile of dust.
Powers and Abilities[]
Prime Evil is one of the greatest wizards who ever lived, second only to Merlin. His powers are indeed great; in most episodes he's completely immune to the Ghost Dematerializer. He's even shown to have the power to rematerialize his henchmen who've been affected by the weapon, although he often chooses to delay doing this out of sheer spite.
Trivia[]

- Prime Evil has an overbearing sister named Prime Ordeal (Who calls him "Itchy") and a bratty nephew, whom his sister only refers to as "Snookums".
- In the Italian dubbing of the series he was renamed "Malefix".
