Premise

In New York City, three middle school kids working as a team of superheroes known as the Ghost Force who must protect the city from the ghosts which are invisible to the human eye. These ghosts use fright as fuel to increase their power and ability to affect the world around them. The ghosts have a basic form and a booster form which can be obtained when they merge with specific items. When a ghost is defeated, the Ghostforce use Technoghost containers to contain them. Once the ghost is contained, the damages they did are undone.

Characters

The Ghostforce
  • Andy Baker (voiced by Enzo Ratsito in the French version, Jordan Quisno in the English dub) is one of the main protagonists of Ghostforce. He is a student in Professor Pascal's class at NYC school in Manhattan, New York, despite being the oldest of the trio, suggesting he was held back a year. Although he is a talented aspiring basketball player, he is often a lazy underachiever. Using the power of his Ectocap, Andy transforms into the superhero Fury, gaining slime-based powers to stop the paranormal ghosts that terrorize the city.
    • Dragoyle is a dragon/gargoyle-like ghost who resides in Fury's Boo Cap.
  • Michael "Mike" Collins Jr. (voiced by Hervé Grull in the French version, Ogie Banks in the English dub) is one of the main protagonists of Ghostforce. He is the youngest student of Professor Pascal's class at NYC school in Manhattan, New York, due to him skipping a grade. He has a large interest in science. Using the power of his Ectocap, Mike transforms into the superhero Krush, gaining the power of ice creation to stop the paranormal ghosts that terrorize the city.
    • Growmax is an ice cube-shaped ghost who resides in Krush's Boo Cap.
  • Olivia "Liv" Baker (voiced by Laure Filiu in the French version, Cassandra Lee Morris in the English dub) is one of the main protagonists of Ghostforce. She is a student in Professor Pascal's class at NYC school in Manhattan, New York and the younger sister of Andy. Using the power of her Ectocap, Liv transforms into the superheroine Myst, gaining the power of portal creation to stop the paranormal ghosts that terrorize the city.
    • Octocat is an octopus/cat-like ghost who resides in Myst's Boo Cap.
  • Glowboo (voiced by Emmanuel Garijo in the French version, Cedric Williams in the English dub) is the android member of Ghostforce.
