## Character Information

### **Inspiration**

Spider-Man of Marvel Comics
Superman of DC Comics

**Daniel "Danny" Fenton**, better known by his alias **Danny Phantom**, is the eponymous protagonist of the Nickelodeon animated series, *Danny Phantom*. He was a human boy who turned into a ghost/human hybrid upon stepping in through the Fenton Portal while in his parents' laboratory. His molecular structure is fused and rearranged with ectoplasm. As a result, he can transform from human to ghost at will, and he has several supernatural abilities. He works with his sister Jazz and best friends Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, in stopping villainous ghosts, with the likes of Vlad Plasmius, Skulker and other ghosts and being hunted down by his own parents (who do not know that Danny Phantom and Danny Fenton are one and the same until the end of the series).

Danny is voiced by David Kaufman

## Role in the Series

### Background

Daniel "Danny" Fenton was born in the 1990s to Maddie and Jack Fenton. He had one sibling, an older sister Jasmine, who was two years older than him. Growing up, Danny had to deal with his ghost-obsessed parents that put a strain on his relationships with them, and his sister Jazz, who decided to "parent" her younger brother. He was once close to Maddie when he was younger but he apart as he got older. He also had a dislike for Christmas because his parents always fought over if Santa Claus was real or not ever since he was a baby. At some point, he met Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, who have been his best friends since before they could remember.

One month prior to the series, Danny's parents invented the Fenton portal that would let them have access to the Ghost Zone, another interdimensional world but it didn't work. He snuck Sam and Tucker into his parents' Lab, where Sam convinced him to try it out. With the portal, Danny turned it on, but it resulted in a lab accident as ectoplasm entered his body and rewrite his DNA, turning Danny into the world's second human/ghost hybrid or, a Halfa.

## Powers and Abilities

### Ghost Powers

* **Transformation/Going Ghost:** Danny has the ability to transform between his human and ghost halves. When he changes into a ghost, his black hair becomes white and his blue eyes turn a glowing green, and whatever clothes he is wearing immediately turns into his hazmat suit. He can also turn parts of his body into ghost; as sometimes his eyes flash green whenever he is angry. Danny turned his chin invisible so Dash could not punch him in Reign Storm.
	+ **Invisibility/Intangibility:** Danny can turn any part of his body invisible. When he holds onto someone, he can make his companion(s) turn invisible as well. Danny, while invisible, has the ability to fly through walls, which he can extend through with whoever or whatever he touches.
	+ **Cyrokinesis:** Unlike Plasmius, Danny developed ice and snow abilities that did not fully develop until Season 3. Before his powers grew and he became more advanced, Danny's Cyrokinesis did not fully develop until Season 3. In the beginning, Danny's cyrokinesis powers manifested in the form of his Ghost Sense, a subdivision of the ice powers. Sometime after meeting Frostbite, Danny's ice and snow abilities advanced. However, as his ice powers were manifesting, the least Danny could do was feeling cold and suffering from violent chills. After escaping into the Ghost Zone and being found by Frostbite, Danny learned that his ghost sense was a sup-power of his cyrokinesis and his ability was advancing. After Frostbite trained Danny, the ghost boy managed to master his ice powers; however, when he first started out, he began freezing some of Frostbite's people as they were watching. Danny was able to have complete control over it when he fought off Undergrowth as he took over Amity Park.
		- **Ghost Sense:** Whenever a ghost is nearby, blue mist escaped from Danny's mouth and a chill goes down his spine. The Ghost Sense is a sub-power of his cyrokinesis. However, it is unknown if he is able to sense half-ghosts like Plasmius or his sister and clone, Dani in either their ghost or human forms.
	+ **Ghostly Wail**: Unlike Plasmius, Danny developed a powerful sonic scream in "The Ultimate Enemy," an episode in Season 2, and one of his primary abilities. He can scream ultra-waves of ectoplasm and almost nothing human or ghost can withstand it. Around the first few times, the move can drain Danny's complete power and revert him back into his human form because he developed this power ten years earlier than his dark future counterpart. However, after gaining his powers, the Ghostly Wail was the first ability he demonstrated and no longer took energy out of him.
	+ **Void**: Danny is able to absorb all visible light within a surrounding area, leaving nothing but absolute darkness for which no one can see through, except him. While this ability is powerful, it is also highly destructive to not only those around Danny, but also to himself. Void takes a heavy toll on Danny’s mental state, due to the power being derived from negative emotions such as anger and hatred. This has caused him to only use it as a last resort. Void is a special and destructive that only Danny knows how to use. This first time he was able to use this power was ten years after he obtained his ghost powers. It’s possibly his most powerful and dangerous ability.

## Trivia

* By the events of the series, Danny is fourteen years old and had his powers at least a month prior to the accident. (Mystery Meat).
* Danny was a certified Junior astronaut. ("Kindred Spirits").
* It is heavily implied that Danny's powers are linked to his emotions, as his ghost ray activated against Desiree. This is more evident, given that when Danny had atmokinetic abilities, as the weather would change based on his emotions.
* Danny cameoed in an episode of The Fairly OddParents, where he is seen on a computer screen in the lab of Mr. and Mrs. Turner in the episode "Poltergeeks."
* He is the world's second human/ghost hybrid. His archenemy, Vlad Plasmius, is the first and Dani Phantom is the third.
* In the "Danny Phantom: The Next Generation" video, Danny and Sam eventually got married and had two children, Jackson and Misty. Being a quarter ghost, Jackson and Misty inherited their dad's ghost abilities. However, Danny's children are able to teleport on their own and can transport between the human world and the Ghost Zone.
* 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. His act of teleportation is making his body become slightly disfigured then fading away and appearing in another place. Danny has used this during his battle with Tucker Phantom in "What You Want?" and a reality-warping Freakshow in "Reality Trip." In "The Next Generation" video, according to Butch Hartman, Danny did not have teleportation and it is actually an ability that his children have. So Danny may have an ability similar to Teleportation or a form of this ability at his advantage.

## Behind the Scenes

* Originally, Danny was going to have a pet owl named Spooky; however, the idea was dropped because the creators realized that there was already Harry Potter, another protagonist who had a pet owl named Hedwig.
* Instead of having black hair, Danny had blond hair.
* Danny's name was originally going to be Jackie, named after actor Jackie Chan. Davie, Kenny and Billy were other names taken under consideration.
* Unlike the show, where Danny is half-human/half-ghost, he was a full human who had to rely on gadgets to fight ghosts. Instead, Hartman decided to give Danny superpower.
	+ Additionally, Danny had a motorcycle in the original pitch of the series, but the idea was dropped once Hartman gave Danny superpowers.
* He and Sam were going to have a telepathic connection.

	+ They frequently make witty banter with most of his enemies during their battles (and sometimes outside of battles);
