While heading to Grand Central Station, right before the giant robot attacked, the Extreme Ghostbusters were supposed to encounter a man with so many brains, they were flowing out of his skull and into the sidewalk.Right before Eduardo blasts the truck, the Extreme Ghostbusters were supposed to go after a normal salesman selling medicine to a woman, before realizing their mistake.In the teaser, the conductor was going to shout back at him, and his mouth was going to disappear mid-sentence.In the final draft script of the episode, there were three major differences involving Duophanes that were cut at the last minute.Result: Pet lizard turned into Tyrannosaurus Rex and bird into Pterodactyl.Wish: For things to be like they were in the old days.Wish: To be made out of money like rich people (wanted to be rich).Wish: For Kylie Griffin to treat him with the respect like she gave her cat.Wish: To reconnect with his family (go back to his roots).Results: The other man's head was attached to his neck.
Result: Body from the neck downwards was de-aged to an infant's.It's implied that Duophanes also cannot refuse a wish, regardless of his or the wisher's core intent when making it. As a result, he has only one weakness: someone making a wish that can be used against him or one that creates a paradox. His human disguise also acts as a shield, protecting him from the Ghostbuster's Proton Streams and Ghost Traps. If he manages to do so, then the effects of all the wishes he granted there become permanent. Worse still is that once he grants enough wishes in an area, Duophanes will try to leave it to find a new place to terrorize. Satisfaction completely guaranteed." However, it was hinted that he could not grant more than one wish per victim, or enthrall that individual again for that matter, since he never tried to draw out another wish from Eduardo, who was in Pagan's body, as the result of a previous wish already granted by the demon. If someone originally turns down his offer to make their wishes come true, he demonstrates the ability to tempt them against their senses until they make a wish, often with his slogan "No currency required, no payment do I need. These wishes were classified as Class 6 Spectral Transmogrifications. Duophanes can twist the wish only based on the exact wording of it. In addition, the creatures created/transformed by his power are not ecto-based but actually real, making proton beams ineffective against them. Once he hears someone's wish, Duophanes can grant it using a release of power that he keeps in his briefcase. His method involves showing their wish as they would like it to be granted from within his briefcase, and at their whim, he then warps their wish according to his sadistic choice. The Ghostbusters were reunited and they captured him.Äuophanes is a slick salesman, always approaching people with his slogan, and getting them to tell him what their wishes are. Confused by this paradoxical wish, Duophanes took on his true form, which caused all transmogrification to be reversed and his victims were restored to normal. He was finally stopped on his way out of town by the Ghostbusters when Eduardo gave Kylie Griffin the idea to ask him to grant one more wish before he left: that he not grant her wish. He traveled throughout the city to Central Park and a Flea Market on 63rd and approached several innocent people in New York ( Eduardo Rivera included), offering to grant their wishes only to twist them into something horrible. In 1997, Duophanes arrived at Grand Central Station around 4:00 am and took a conductor as his first victim. His essence is overlaid with how he manifests, making his human form a shield from attacks. He reappears briefly every few hundred years in various guises granting wishes. According to Egon Spengler's Spengler's Spirit Guide database, Duophanes is a demon originating from ancient Greece.
