Ray Stantz is an amiable, excitable, open-hearted enthusiast who still sleeps with a Dopey Dog doll and watches cartoons like "Murray the Mantis" and "Sammy K. Ferrett". Though he may act goofy and almost childlike, he's an occult scholar second to none, and a gifted engineer: he built a shapechanging car back in shop class, and is the one who actually built the Ghostbusters' equipment. He's the only one who can (usually) keep up when Egon starts detailing his wild theories, and the two collaborate on experiments often.

Ray Stantz hails from a family of Russian immigrants, and his closest relative, his Aunt Lois, owns a large house that their ancestors built in the 1860's. He also had a "long lost" Uncle Gaylord, who left Ray his joke shop, and a Scottish uncle, Andrew MacMillan, who left Ray a castle and a title. He has at least one cousin, Samantha, who owns the old farm formerly belonging to the Peterson family.

Ray shares duties driving the ECTO-1 (which he actually purchased in the first place) with Winston, and also is the one who most often flies the ECTO-2 copter (he once won one free flying lesson!) He's also the Ghostbuster most likely to wear his work gloves and a set of ecto-goggles.

Ray is the one who decided to keep Slimer as a pet, and the two pal around a lot. Ray was even the one who gave the ghost the name "Slimer" "Just to annoy Peter"

Ray had a childhood crush on Elaine Fuhrman, who still lives back in the same small town the two were raised in, Morrisville. They were reunited when Ray went back home to recieve honors from his home town, though it doesn't seem they kept in touch after that.

According to Extreme Ghostbusters, once the Ghostbusters go out of business Ray goes back into research. After blowing up a lab, he's kicked out of the job and later sold used cars for Perpetual Motors. For some unfathomable reason, he wears one of Egon's flight suits instead of his own.
