Jillian Holtzmann (Ghostbusters Timeline 2)



Jillian Holtzmann is a principal character in the Ghostbusters Timeline 2 Universe. She debuted in Ghostbusters, Answer the Call in 2016.

History
Jillian aka Holtzmann or Holtz lives in Manhattan, New York City and is a paranormal scientist. She worked in a science lab with Abby Yates at the Kenneth P Higgins Institute in 2016. This changed when Erin Gilbert arrived unexpectedly and informed them about a ghost sighting at the Aldridge Mansion Museum. This leads the three of them to forming the Conductors of the Metaphysical Examination and after unsuccessfully lobbying the Higgins Institute for funding, struck out on their own, getting an office in the Chinatown district. Soon joined by Patty Tolan and administrative assistant Kevin Beckman, the group became known as the Ghostbusters. In October, they would defend the city as well as the rest of Earth in an epic showdown against evil spirits led by the ghost of Rowan North. Emerging victorious, the Ghostbusters received funding from the city, relocating the former Hook and Ladder 8 Fire Station on North Moore Street. Holtzmann has a knack for invention, creating various items to help in their capturing, or in some cases slaughtering of ghosts.

Danaverse Connection
Aside from the closeness she feels to her teammates, there is also the crush she has on Erin. During the Crisis War, both they and the Ghostbusters of Timeline 1 will team up to battle various spirits led by Gozer and Rowan. One of their biggest obstacles will be the ghost of Thanos from Marvel Timeline 28 aka the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
