Onionhead, Little Spud, the Ghost of John Belushi, but we all know him with the most famous name: he is Slimer! He's the only character to appear in all the video media of the Ghostbusters franchise (with many variations, such as his arms and the shape of his body). Slimer is a hovering blob of ectoplasm and many people asked: "Many of the ghosts have body deformations that make them assume a scarier form, but who was that ectoplasmic blob during his life?".
In the 80s, the franchise's creators decided to make a sub-franchise made of TV series and comics, that were direct sequels to the 1984 film. One of this comic book series was The Real Ghostbusters, wich was published in the USA and in the UK, the only country that had an explaination of Slimer's life, represented in a strip that appeared on The Real Ghostbusters #22.
As this ambigously canonical theory tells, Slimer was called King Remils ("Slimer" backwards) and was an obese king who died after a heart failure.
Do you hink it's a canonizable thory? What's your opinion about Remils?
