## What Make Him Magnificent?

* The very first thing DD does upon his "birth" is kill his human half and then blow up Vlad's mansion before going on a rampage, leaving Vlad himself alive to tell the tale. Over the course of a decade, DD reigned terror upon the world until his past self traveled into the future and fought him, after which he was trapped in the Ghost Zone with a time medallion embedded into his chest while DD went back to the past to cheat on the C.A.T. test and recreate the accident that killed his friends and family in order to preserve his own existence. After getting the time medallion inside him removed thanks to Vlad, Danny fought DD once more and defeated him, while his loved ones were saved by Clockwork. DD is now trapped within the Fenton Thermos for the rest of the series, never to be seen again as he ends the episode laughing with a creepy smile dented into the container’s metal...

* Many consider him the best Nickelodeon villain ever, and it's not hard to see why. He's practically the *embodiment* of Creepy Awesome; using his Ghostly Wail to depower a giant shield from the outside, demolishing Val and the cops with very little effort, trying to have a friendly chat with Sam and Tucker at first, giving Danny the fight of his life, and providing several memorable quotes thanks to Eric Roberts’ cool voice. As for thinking on his feet, he quickly deduces that Clockwork is meddling with time once again when he sees his medallions, and gets rid of Danny for a fairly long time while also playing his friends and family like a fiddle until Jazz reveals his disguise. If only it wasn't for Clockwork rewinding time at the literal last second, DD would’ve won. But even then, he outright laughs in the face of his own defeat.

* + Unlike most of the villains who have some morality, redeeming qualities, comedic moments or at least honor, Dark Danny possesses almost had no such trait, and his role is taken completely seriously. He shows no regret for destroying the world, his hometown, Amity Park, and hurting/torturing and killing both people and ghosts alike.

## What Hinders His Magnificence?

* *A Glitch in Time* gave him a bit of jealous of Danny which is pretty childish and petty.

## What Makes Him A Baddie?

* In the series finale "*Phantom Planet"*, he is one of the only ghosts who does not return to help Danny, which heavily implies that he has no interest in redeeming himself, thus making him one of the only Near Pure Evil villains in *Danny Phantom* to be incredibly vile (although this could also be a result of him being imprisoned in a Fenton Thermos at the end of "*The Ultimate Enemy"* because he is way too dangerous to be released).
	+ Once he fused with Vlad's ghost half, he viciously murdered his own human self and destroyed Vlad's mansion, only sparing Vlad so that he could tell everyone what had happened.
	+ According to Clockwork, Dark Danny has committed at least two thousand evil acts during his 10-year rampage without any shred of remorse.
		- He ravaged Amity Park, the Ghost Zone and other places.
		- He hurt fellow ghosts for the fun of it, again without any sense of morality.
		- He used the Box Ghost as a punching bag, giving him an eyepatch and a hook.
		- He crippled Johnny 13 to the point he is bound to a wheelchair.
		- He crippled Skulker and Technus to the point where the two needed to combine their battlesuits to become Skulktech 9.9 to gang up and have a better change of fighting him.
		- He used his Ghostly Wail to severely damage Ember McLain's vocal cords.
		- It is implied by Technus that most of Danny's enemies he tortured didn't survive.
