Biography
After travelling through the Vortex with Batman and Wyldstyle, the trio landed on the streets of New York City, where a ghost flew past. The Ghostbusters quickly began attempting to capture the ghost, before it broke free, with Harry Potter having to help. The trio then ran past Ghostbusters H.Q. and into a portal.
Reuniting with Batman and Wyldstyle, he then found himself in the Land of Ooo, before Finn and Jake appeared, proclaiming "It's battle time!". He then ran up a hill, where the TARDIS began materialising.
He later charged into battle alongside others, before ending up in a mosh pit including everyone who participated in the battle. (WC: New Adventures Await! [+]Loading...["New Adventures Await! (webcast)"])
