Dank Phantom

"You got rekt."~ Dank Phantom to Big Bad Blue in Absolute Chaos - Episode 7: GET REKT N00B.Dank Phantom is the commander of the W.A.T Force, a special division of the Monirken Empire that creates & sells weapons across the galaxy. He is also one of the Dank Meme Lords & has garnered a reputation in both the empire & the Dank Dimension as the embodiment of MLG memes. He is a reoccurring character in the Terrachaoverse series.
Tier: 7-C
== Appearance ==
Dank Phantom has a skeletal face with a brown coloration, but the rest of his body is concealed by black gothic clothing that looks identical to Lord Claudius Ko'Al & the Headless Horseman's outfits. However, his includes a pointy hood. He also likes to wear multiple gold necklaces to show off his wealth, with the central necklace specifically having a diamond-studded dollar sign. He is almost never seen without a gun & wears black gloves with glowing fingertips. He conceals his heterochromia with his sunglasses, which he has worn two different pairs of throughout the series; the first had a white rim & the second has a white & orange rim, both having reflective lenses, though the latter is tinted gold. Underneath that, one would see that his right eye is orange & his left eye is green.
It is unknown what he looked like before he became a Ghost, but he still had his heterochromia back then.
== History ==
To be added
== Personality ==
Dank Phantom is comedic, crass, & hotheaded. He thinks highly of himself because of his status, talking down to less fortunate beings like Heartman, saying things like people like him aren't allowed to speak. He is also quite rude, as he will make fun of someone for how they look & doesn't excuse himself when he burps. Not to mention, he doesn't always have an indoor voice. But he's not an overall bad guy, he just lacks manners.
His comrades note him as being a conessouir of memes, which he browses on the daily. Memes are what he likes to bond over the most with his friends, & are his go-to for conversations as he believes humor to be man's greatest cultural creations (along with video games). He also has a knack for sensing the potential in someone else, as he predicted how valuable Han Velsing would become to the Cult of Kek. And when the time is right & he is called into action, he will show just how much of a team player he can be.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Ghostly Strength: While his feats of physical strength are not really shown, he should scale to his dank comrades like Labraham Incoln & Han Velsing, making him strong enough to destroy a town. It should also be noted that he never really experiences any kickback when he shoots from his guns.
Ghostly Speed: Dank Phantom's travel & normal combat speed feats are not entirely known, but he can attack at 975,867.4 miles per hour since he can use lightning as an attack. 
Invulnerability: Dank Phantom has shown to be quite resilient. He can take a roast from Han Velsing at point blank range & quickly recover from its paralyzing effects, which has happened on more than one occasion. He even was able to get a few last words out after being hit by the Beast's Extinction Beam. He is physically tough enough to survive the destruction of a town, though his undead nature makes him hard to kill.
Ectoplasmic Physiology: As a Ghost, Dank Phantom is comprised of ectoplasm, a state of matter exclusively found in the spiritual planes. This can make himself invisible & intangible. He doesn't often display this ability, but was briefly seen being ghostly in The Supposedly Happiest Day when he was tasked to keep a lookout upstairs in Dan's house. Because of his spiritual nature, Dank Phantom can't really be touched by most lifeforms unless they have the unique ability to touch incorporeal beings.
Immortality: Dank Phantom is immortal in that he is already dead. As a Spirit bound to the physical realm, he can still experience pain, but to a much lesser extent than he was when he was mortal. Even after being struck down & killed by the Beast's Extinction Beam, he was able to respawn minutes later due to his undead nature.
Skilled Marksmanship: Give him a gun & Dank Phantom will fire it with accurate proficiency. He has undergone lots of military-grade training on planet Devastis, & is experienced in many more firearms than he's shown on-screen. He even claims that no one can block his gunshots, though this is an ego-fueled hyperbole.
* 360 NO SCOPE: His favorite move with a gun is to spin around in a complete circle & fire at his target.
Levitation: As a Ghost, Dank Phantom can gracefully float in the air. This was seen during THE AREA 51 RAID & The Supposedly Happiest Day.
=== Special Powers ===
Meme Manipulation: Literally being a part of his name, Dank Phantom is empowered by Dank Side of the Memes, giving him memetic abilities.
* Illusions: Dank Phantom can create momentary illusions, usually to display the memes he likes. One example is when he made a PSA regarding Article 13 & briefly covered a wall with a showcase of several iconic dank memes.
* Sound Manipulation: Dank Phantom can make his voice louder to Call of Duty lobby decibel levels, mimic the sounds of certain memes if he practices hard enough, & absolutely drop the bass with hard, crunchy, distorted noises. The last of which is often combined with his Roast Hand.
* Light Manipulation: Dank Phantom can emit bright glowing lights from his eyes. It's unknown if he has any other photokinetic techniques asides from manipulating colors.
** Color Manipulation: While not often used, Dank Phantom can enhance & oversaturate the colors of his surroundings, able to do so for a range spanning several meters.
* Roast Hand: One of his most powerful abilities, Dank Phantom can hold out his hand at someone & cause their mind to replay all of the things they're ashamed of & deeply regret, while also causing a paralyzing effect in their body. This attack can also be toned down if it's just for display purposes. It's a special power used by those attuned with the Dank Side of the Memes, so those who use it are somewhat resistant to it. He used this technique on Han when they first met as a test to see how attuned with the Meme Force he was, only to get roasted himself, which had never happened before up until that point.
== Equipment ==
Dank Shades: Dank Phantom has worn two different pairs of sunglasses throughout the series, & the second one was a Christmas gift from Labraham. While initially just for cosmetic purposes, Dank Phantom upgraded his shades in 2022 with impostor-detecting vision, meaning he is now able to read power signatures & see through disguises, even from a distance.
Neon Shotgun: Dank Phantom's primary weapon is a bright green shotgun with the W.A.T. Force logo on it, & its ammunition is not just your standard package of bullets. To survive in a universe filled with powerful supernatural beings, the bullets used in this gun are forged from adamantium. Some even have a silver coating to work against Werewolves & Wollips. Phantom personally calls it the No-Scoper.
Neon Pistol: Dank Phantom's secondary weapon is a bright green pistol that carries bullets with the same effects as those of his shotgun.
Rave Gloves: As of early 2016, Dank Phantom wears a pair of black gloves with bright glowing fingertips that are filled with pure energy. He can focus this energy into attacks like electromagnetic shockwaves & finger lightning. Just one burst of this energy was able to instantly knock out pre-awakening Heartman.
* Thunderclout: The most powerful of Dank Phantom's attacks combines his spiritual energy with the energy contained in the gloves, characterized as red, green, & blue tendrils of lightning fired from his fingertips. He used this attack on the Beast once, but all it could really do was distract him.
Accustrike Raptorstrike Sniper Rifle: While its power has not yet been fully displayed, Dank Phantom has been seen carrying a long, orange & gray rifle that supposedly has more firepower than his shotgun.
== Weaknesses ==
Dank Phantom's main weakness is his ego. He thinks rather highly of himself, as he's been put in high esteem by those of the Monirken Empire. This pride can be his undoing, like when he was in utter disbelief that Vuturius was able to block one of his gunshots; he was so flabbergasted that he failed to chase him down & figure out who he was.
Another weakness, & an odd one at that, is that he is a heavy sleeper, as Heartman was able to sneak up on him while he was asleep to steal his shotgun. As for why a Ghost would ever have to sleep, it could be because Dank Phantom is a Spirit bound to the physical realm.
== Trivia ==
* While a favorite video game in particular is unknown, his favorite genre is first person shooters.
*His favorite genres of music are dubstep & phonk.
*His first appearance was actually in the decanonized R4ND0MN355: Solar Madness.
*The colors of his Thunderclout power are deliberately meant to reference RGB color models used in coding, often mentioned when customizing gaming computers.
*There appears to be a canonical discrepancy in Dank Phantom's wardrobe. In Christmisadventures: Part 3, Phantom thanks Labraham for giving him some new sunglasses for Christmas. However, in The Beast Who Threatens All that takes place two months prior, Phantom is seen wearing the exact same pair. This is either because the pair he wore on Halloween broke or got lost sometime afterward, or the Omnipresent Camera inexplicably added a glitch onto the showing of Phantom's stand-up against the Beast.
