Space Ghost and Dino Boy The
original series debuted in September 1966. Space Ghost was voiced by
Gary Owens, who is best known as the announcer for ''
Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In''. In the original series, Space Ghost was an intergalactic crime fighter from the Ghost Planet. He had the ability to become invisible (referred to as "Inviso Power") via his belt, fly, and survive in space. His principal weapons were his power bands which generated beam-based attacks including heat, cold, magnetism, energy, and force among others. but remained in syndication during the 1970s. The final episodes had Metallus, Creature King, Zorak, Moltar, Brak, and Black Widow coming together as the Council of Doom to destroy Space Ghost. They were defeated by Space Ghost and were assumed to have escaped when their headquarters was destroyed.
Space Stars Twenty-two new
Space Ghost segments appeared on
Space Stars on
NBC in 1981. Gary Owens reprised his role as Space Ghost, while
Steve J. Spears voiced Jace, Alexandra Stoddart voiced Jan, and
Frank Welker provided the vocal effects of Blip. The episodes introduced a new assortment of villains including an evil version of Space Ghost named Space Spectre (voiced by
John Stephenson) who came from an alternate universe. The villains Toymaker and Wizard (both voiced by Frank Welker) made more than one appearance. As in the original series, Space Ghost often came to the aid of
The Herculoids and vice versa. The Phantom Cruiser was given a more modern redesign as well. They also frequently crossed paths with the Teen Force with it appearing that Jan and Teen Force's Kid Comet were dating as well.
Space Ghost Coast to Coast The character Space Ghost hosted a
talk show,
Space Ghost Coast to Coast, which began broadcasting in 1994 on Cartoon Network. The show spoofed late-night talk shows, with villains Zorak and Moltar serving as Space Ghost's sidekicks with occasional guest appearances from other
Space Ghost villains Metallus, Lokar, Tansut, Brak, and Black Widow. In this version, Space Ghost is voiced by

cels from the Hanna-Barbera archives. The show ran from 1994 to 1999, and returned with two new episodes in 2001, moving to the
Adult Swim programming block later that year; the series ended its Adult Swim run in 2004. The characters of Jan, Jace, and Blip (Space Ghost's old sidekicks) appeared a few times on the show. After eight seasons on television, the show went into hiatus. New episodes of
