Winston Zeddemore
- Winston Zeddemore is a Ghostbuster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Winston Zeddemore is a former Marine and member of the Ghostbusters. Described as the soul of the team, he often acts as the voice of reason that keeps his more scatter-brained teammates grounded.
He believes that if one is asked if they're a god, they should respond in the affirmative.
Fiction
Transformers/Ghostbusters
As the Ghostbusters chased down a tentacled ghost, their vehicle, the Ecto-1 fell into a sinkhole caused by the spirit. After assuring themselves that the car was fine, the quartet whipped out their proton packs to combat the ghost, Winston having a discussion with Peter about baseball preferences, before a ghost trap contained the spectre. That done, the team returned their attention to the problem of their sunken car only to find a duplicate sitting on the grass. Before Egon could explain some odd readings from the duplicate car, Starscream's ghost appeared and asked the humans to leave the area so he could speak to the Autobot in private whereupon the ghost trap sucked him up. As Winston asked what an "Autobot" was, the duplicate car transformed into a robot who revealed he was an Autobot. Ghosts of Cybertron Part 1
Notes
- Winston appeared in the Ghostbusters chapters of IDW's Infestation and The X-Files: Conspiracy crossover events.
- Winston was played by Ernie Hudson in the Ghostbusters films, and voiced by Buster Jones in later seasons of The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters.
- Winston is the only Ghostbuster whose design wasn't used for one of Susan Hoffman's assistants, something that's perhaps a little uncomfortable in hindsight considering Ernie Hudson's frustrations over Winston being the "disposable" Ghostbuster.
