Teo is a former Ghostbuster out of Sydney, Nova Scotia, and he is known for being the most intelligent on the team, having built a proton pack all by himself along with other gadgets.

Throughout his career, Teo battled many ghosts and villains on a super scale, including Ivan Walker and Shangoli. From 2017 onwards, Teo focused a lot on paranormal investigations and eliminations before meeting Agent Kang in 2022 and joining the Chambers of Time.

## Biography

### Early Life

Teo Spengler is the nephew of former paranormal investigator and eliminator Dr. Egon Spengler, Ph.D. From what is referenced, Teo and Egon have a close relationship, especially after Teo joins the Legacy Ultimate Ghostbusters.

### Paranormal Studies

Having graduated from high school and university very early due to his extreme intelligence, Teo moved out to Sydney, Nova Scotia, by himself to persue paranormal investigations in the town during the winter of 2016. He believed something big was on the horizon, predicting an invasion of the undead no later than 2018. To prepare, Teo had built a fully functional proton pack in January of 2017, and other equipment he deemed that would be needed.

### Ghost Discoveries

After Fennett H. W. MacIntyre, Frank Hennick, and Neil Adams had encountered and recorded a ghost in Parker Pembroke’s house and uploading it to YouTube, Teo saw the video and gave the group a call, hoping to aid them on their new journey of paranormal investigations and eliminations.

### Joining The Team

After talking with Fennett over the phone, Teo was accepted onto the team almost immediately and the two met at the local Shandor Co. Louisa "Gardens" Park. They wasted no time and started talking business, discussing how they could possibly make a storage facility to contain the ghosts they catch and the materials they'd need, along with the proper equipment to successfully catch and temporally hold the spirits that are caught. Thankfully, Teo can retrieve some needed resources from his family in the paranormal field and is a needed asset to the group.

### The Unleash of Ivan Walker

The now four Ghostbusters go on a handful of missions over the next two weeks, catching spooks and specters, successfully building a containment unit, and having all the equipment they need to properly do their job. Money is rolling in for them and ghost sightings surge across Sydney.

On August 14, 2017, Teo and Fennett head to the sewer grate on Fairview Street to do another checkup on the site that is speculated to be the source of the paranormal events, and Fennett remarks that he has a bad feeling about it and that something doesn't feel right. All theories and evidence point to whatever is under the street being the cause of it all, yet they're not sure what they can do about it just yet. As they leave, Ivan Walker forms into the reality for the first time, taking on a physical form as a ghost but looking human. Teo and Fennett don't notice this, but Ivan Walker has now been manifested and is a free spirit.

### Slimed

As another month goes by, Teo, Fennett, and Neil are called out in the middle of the night to go to a job. They spring out of bed and put their jumpsuits on, rushing out the door. The call brings them to a small neighborhood with a big ghost problem; an ugly green slime-like ghost ravaging their kitchen. Being split-up and looking for the ghost, Teo radios to Fennett that he found the ghost and its staring him down. Fennett radios him back and tells him not to move as it shouldn't hurt him, but the ghost begins to charge him, sliming him off-screen.

### Standing Against Ivan

On December 30, 2017, Déjà Vu finds Teo and Fennett on Fairview Street and warns them that he's sensing "huge" spectral energy and he had to come check it out. Fennett tells him it's Ivan Walker trying to communicate to him and Teo, but he can't pick up what he's saying. Déjà Vu tells Fennett that he'll be able to channel his energy but that it's been messing up his mind, deducing it would be better if the Fast were with him in case something goes wrong.

### The Final Battle

Making it the Louisa Gardens Park, the park where Fennett, Frank, and Neil all once studied at, they prepare for Ivan's arrival. Teo, Neil, and new recruit Richard Jones all join them for what will be the fight of a lifetime. The sun starts to set and sure enough, Ivan arrives. He tells the team his plan to take back the world that once rejected him with his army of ghosts, but the Ghostbusters vow to not let that happen. Ivan begins to attack them all with his powers, but they are able to put up a fight with their proton streams. However, those start failing quickly and they switch to an alternate setting on the packs, the stasis stream. It begins working but Ivan uses his unholy powers to paralyze the Ghostbusters onto the ground while the Fast and Déjà Vu manage to escape the immediate area. Stuck to the ground, Fennett begins to insult Ivan who ups the pain they're feeling, causing all of the men to scream in agony. Before he can continue the torture, the Fast arrives at a super sonic speed and punches Ivan across the jaw, knocking him into Déjà Vu who punches him back over to the Fast. This frees the Ghostbusters who get back up but at the cost of Ivan now freezing the Fast. Déjà Vu uses his powers to mess with Walker's mind, letting go of the Fast and immobilizing the demi-god. The Fast warns the Ghostbusters that they can't hold him much longer and need to try something, so all they blast Ivan with their proton streams and with the assistance of the Fast and Déjà Vu. Suddenly, Richard stops shooting and begins walking towards Ivan. The team calls out for him as he turns around, possessed by Ivan. Fennett uses the extraction stream to unbind the two, putting Ivan back into his body. The team call off their shots and duck behind a park bench. Teo tells them sternly that he has one last idea, to cross the streams, a dangerous move that could result in every molecule in one's body exploding at the speed of light and just one of them has a three percentage chance of survival. Knowing it's their only chance to stop him, they all agree to it and begin the plan. Déjà Vu starts it off by using his powers, along with the Fast next. Fennett begins firing his proton stream and so does everyone else simultaneously.

The clock strikes midnight as they enact their plan, meaning it's now January 1, 2018. They say their goodbyes briefly and cross the streams, causing a massive explosion to consume the park as the team tries to run but get caught in it. The smoke lifts and they all lay motionless on the ground until Frank is heard talking to himself as they all get up, realizing they somehow survived. The Fast comes back over to the scene, having gotten away from it at the speed of life possibly responsible for saving everyone's life.

After organizing themselves and the Fast and Déjà Vu preparing to leave, Teo hands them blueprints to something called "Mr. Molecule," a weapon that may help them in the future. Richard also finds the decapitated head of Ivan but leaves it for nature. Fennett tells the Fast to contact him if they ever need anything at all as him and Déjà Vu exit the world and onto another. The team rallies up and goes back to the fire station.

The same day, they're awarded the key to the city by Mayor Whilson for saving it at the Sydney Waterfront.

### Post-Legacy Cut: The Ultimate Ghostbusters

Upon defeating Ivan Walker on January 1, 2018, Teo remained heavily at work studying, investigating, and preparing for the next full-scale ghost attack, although he couldn’t exactly predict when it would be.

By late 2019, Teo’s research led him to conclude they were on the brink of another phenomena, so he took the appropriate course of action by constructing multiple new pieces of equipment and heavily upgrading the rest. This brought the creation of the slime blower, meson collider, and boson dart add-ons to the proton pack.

Things got super busy for the boys in 2020 with another world-ending threat, which of course was thwarted by the team, defeating Shangoli the Conqueror. Teo was confident Shangoli would be the last of deities trying to take over the world, but with the amount of ghosts Shangoli unleashed, the company remained in steady business up until 2022.

August 30, 2022, Agent Kang from the Time Protection Agency pays a visit to the world, looking for the Fast and to terminate this timeline which is revealed to be an alternate reality that shouldn’t exist. Agent Kang recruits Teo and Fennett MacIntyre into the Chambers of Time, an unknown group to protect the multiverse since the Timekeeper is reportedly dead. Teo’s new job is to ensure timeline stability amongst the thousands of new ones popping up by the second.
