Gene was a friend of Corky and a self confessed 'master hacker'. He loved breaking into computer systems, in order to play practical jokes on total strangers, when his parents weren't home. One of his pranks involved changing the Ghostbusters' telephone number to that of Antonio's Pizza Parlor. After that he stumbled upon Prime Evil's Prime Computer system and uploaded a little animation program he wrote earlier onto it.
Although Prime Evil was not pleased to see a stick figure dancing across his screen, he soon realized he could use Gene and his hacking knowledge to gain control of all the world's nuclear missile control systems. He ordered his cousin Knight Of Terror to kidnap Gene and put him under his spell.
The Ghostbusters and Corky soon travelled to Hauntquarters to rescue Gene. And once the Knight's spell had been broken, Gene used Prime's Computer to make all the machinery in Hauntquarters go haywire, before making his escape with his rescuers in Ghost Buggy.
On the way back home, Gene agreed to change back the Ghostbusters' telephone number...luckily, since the Skele-phone was getting hungry from taking numerous pizza orders.
