Danny Phantom

Daniel Fenton, also known as Danny and Danny Phantom, is the main protagonist from the Danny Phantom series.
== Charactah Account ==
Upon obtaining his ghost powers through a Freak Lab Accident, 14-year old Danny uses it to combat the various ghosts that inhabit his hometown. He starts off shy, naive, book dumb, and emotional, constantly trying to find a place in the world, whether it be gaining popularity or through his ghost powers. By the end of the series, Danny gains confidence, courage, and matures considerably and finds his path as a hero.
Danny can transform between human and ghost at will. This manifests as white rings extending from Danny's waist, then sweeping across his body. His battle cry, "I'm going ghost!" or a variant thereof, often accompanies his transformation. Once transformed, he can use all his ghost powers. He can switch back to human form at will, and can still access some of his powers like weak ghost rays and intangibility in human form.

== Trivia ==
* Danny's original character design was much different from the final version:
** Creator Butch Hartman originally wanted to name Danny "Jackie," after the actor Jackie Chan. Some other alternative first names were "Billy," "Kenny" and "Davie."
** Danny was originally going to be fully human; he and his friends would have used gadgets to fight ghosts, and he would have ridden a motorcycle (referencing the Marvel superhero Ghost Rider). Later, Hartman decided it would be cooler if the main character had superpowers, and as part of this change, Danny ended up not getting a motorcycle.
*** Danny eventually did ride a motorcycle in "Livin' Large," possibly as an homage to this original idea.
** Danny was originally going to have a pet owl named "Spooky." However, the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which also featured a title character with a pet owl, was released right as production started, so the pet owl idea was dropped.
** Danny was originally going to have a psychic link with Sam. Hartman dropped this idea because it made the relationship between Danny and Sam seem too developed for a show that was just starting.
** Danny was originally going to have blond hair in human form. It was likely changed to black to differentiate him from Dash Baxter and to better contrast against his ghost form's white hair.
** Creator Butch Hartman originally wanted a 14 year old boy for the role of Danny. but he couldn’t find anybody with a heroic enough voice.
* Danny is a certificated junior astronaut.
* He shares similarities to comic book heroes Spider-Man and Superman, and was likely influenced by them.
** Like Spider-Man, he was an unpopular bullied teenager in high school who got superpowers in a lab accident; he was first seen as a menace despite how many villains he fought; he frequently makes witty banter with most of his enemies during their battles (and sometimes outside of battles); he at first sometimes had the desire to use his powers to get revenge on bullies; and as he began to mature, he became more responsible of his duties as a superhero.
* Danny's powers seem to be strongly connected to his feelings, especially negative emotions such as fear or rage. It was fear that triggered his ghost ray when Desiree approached him and rage that gave him his Ghostly Wail in "The Ultimate Enemy." This could also explain why Danny's emotions were so closely connected with his atmokinetic powers while he temporarily had them.
* It was shown several times, that Danny seemly has the ability to vanish and instantly reappear in another place nearby. Although unconfirmed, it is suggested that this could possible be teleportation or his could simply be him moving while invisible, though this is atypical for the show's animation, as the audience is normally able to see him while he is invisible. Danny has used this during his battle with Tucker Phantom and reality-warping Freakshow. Danny used this a third time in "Secret Weapons" when he was hiding from Jazz. Later on Danny used this power after turning invisible to escape Jack Plasmius in "Masters of All Time." However it was later confirmed by Butch Hartman that Danny doesn't have teleportation and it is one of the powers his kids have.
* The only historical quote Danny knows is, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself," from Franklin D. Roosevelt.
* According to the Guys in White, Danny Phantom is "an entity of scale 7 ectoplasmic power." This is likely a reference to Ghostbusters.
* Danny wears a tank top at the pool; this is because he gets sunburned easily.
* Danny handwrites in cursive.
* He appears in the mobile game Nickelodeon Pixel Town (only available in Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines). He is obtained by merging Chuckie from Rugrats and Jorgen from The Fairly OddParents in the memory center.
* Danny is the only character to have appeared in every episode.
** He also appears in the title card of every episode except "Phantom Planet," which had no characters in its title card.
* Danny's favorite colors are red and white.
* Danny is the only main character with superpowers.
* Danny is the only main character with two hair and eye colors (Not counting Jack).
* He’s the only member of Team Phantom to have a sibling.
* Character Designer Stephen Silver drew his own take on what Danny would look like 10 years later.
