Ghost Spider

==Biography==
Ghost Spider is a ghost, and a spider (hence the name). He wears a grey cape that is marked "GS" (for Ghost Spider). He rented a room in Space Tree's spaceship in Space for Rent. He can fly very fast to save the day, like when he saved the Space Farm. Also, he's known for giving the Commander non-alcoholic beer. Space Tree hates him out of jealousy for his super powers, house, and other reasons, one of which has to do with the non-alcoholic beer. In the course of staying in the ship, he just played cards with An Alien. Later in Out of Space, he was evicted from Space Tree's spaceship and was forced to move to his huge summer house, where he, Commander, The Christophers, and the SpeshDiv Robot had a New Years Eve party, and Space Tree was not invited, although he rudely came to the party uninvited anyway, only to learn that Ghost Spider won't come back to his ship before being insulted.
Even though he was evicted, he was seen in Amanolla Family Reunion when anti-space terrorists destroyed space.
He later returned for a monogrammed towel he left in the air ducts of Space Tree's Ship in the episode Kill or Kick. We then learned he has the ability to transport himself, and boarding up windows will not void his superpower.
As everyone he meets seems to like him (except Space Tree), it's not surprising that he was voted to be the new captain of Space Tree's New Ship in Hugh G. Lection, despite not even being on the ballot. In his acceptance speech, he gracefully handed his captaincy over to Space Tree - who did not accept it - and then left as soon as he had arrived.
The letters on his cape are upside-down, and are supposed to be seen right side up from the back.
Ghost Spider was originally the main character of his own self-titled comic by Matt Kloosterman, who is credited in most Space Tree episodes that Ghost Spider appears in. The Ghost Spider comic could be found at Matt's website on the Ghost Spider page.
In a post on the Space Tree forum, under his username fattymattk, Matt outlines the origins of how he created Ghost Spider:
"I was talking to a female friend over the internet one day and she suddenly got scared and said that she saw a spider. Then like 2 seconds later it was gone, and I said "maybe it's a ghost... a ghost spider!" That was the most awesome idea I ever had up until that point, so I decided I should make the worst comic in the history of the world out of it.
I'll tell you though, GS is a busy guy. He runs a small business, fights crime, goes on about 4 hot dates a week, volunteers at a homeless shelter, acts as an angry, incompetent character in an online comic, and is the author of 3 different self-help books. But he still finds time to visit ST every now and then, because he's such a nice guy."
According to a post on the Space Tree forum by user Lone Wolf01, Ed Atlin offered Matt K the opportunity to voice Ghost Spider in the Space Tree series, but he declined.
