Premise

[edit]

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.
