List of Danny Phantom characters

Over the course of the series, he betters both himself and his powers as he deals with ghosts, balancing his normal and heroic life in a community that does not initially trust him. His companions are his best friends: Sam Manson, a goth girl who is entranced by the "weird and supernatural" and Tucker Foley, a self-proclaimed "techno-geek". Danny often has to put up with the eccentricity of his ghost-hunting parents, Jack and Maddie Fenton, and his smothering but compassionate older sister, Jazz Fenton. His primary nemesis is Vlad Masters, a billionaire celebrity who is also a half-ghost.

He is initially shown as an average, self-conscious, introverted, kindhearted, and sensitive 14-year-old boy who is desperate to fit in with his peers and be accepted, despite his parents' eccentricities. Danny thinks highly of his older sister Jazz, despite finding it annoying when she gets involved in his social life, and is in many ways as over-protective of her as she is of him. After an accident in his parents' ghost lab, Danny becomes a human/ghost hybrid, also called a half-ghost or halfa, and obtains a variety of ghostly abilities. A battle with the Lunch Lady Ghost places the unsure Danny on the path to becoming a superhero. Despite his flaws, he is good-hearted and loyal to his friends and family. He eventually grows, gaining great confidence in himself and maturity, and begins concentrating more on his heroic duties. Danny possesses the powers of flight, intangibility, invisibility, sensing other spirits, and possession, as well as ghost rays. The ghost rays consist of laser-like "ectoplasm" which are emitted from his body; primarily his hands and fingertips. Over the course of the show, he gains various other powers such as duplication, forcefield creation, telekinesis, power absorption, and cryokinesis. In the two-part special "The Ultimate Enemy", Danny gains a power known as the "Ghostly Wail", which emits destructive waves of ecto-energy from his mouth. However, Danny obtained the Ghostly Wail 10 years too early, resulting in him being unprepared for its power. The Wail drains him of all his strength and reverts him to human form. Samantha Manson Samantha "Sam" Manson (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is one of Danny's best friends who later becomes his love interest and girlfriend. She is a goth girl whose parents, Jeremy and Pam, are social conservatives who inherited their money from Sam's grandfather, the inventor of "the machine that twirls the cellophane around the toothpicks", upon his death, though she briefly kept this a secret from her friends and peers, especially her female peers, to avoid "fake friendships". Gifted with technological knowledge and a self-proclaimed "techno-geek", Tucker often helps by using his PDA to hack into computers and machinery. Jazz Fenton Jasmine "Jazz" Fenton (voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey) is Danny's intelligent and sociable 16-year-old sister. Viewing herself as the most rational and normal member of the family, Jazz often plays a surrogate parental role to Danny, thinking he's a naive child in need of guidance, unaware that she is often smothering him. which greatly annoys Danny, despite his knowing that she does it because she loves him and wants nothing more than to help him. When she secretly discovers her brother's secret identity, Jazz has made excuses for him while he went out to fight ghosts, and slowly starts to realize that her brother is growing up fine on his own. Jack and Maddie Fenton Jack (voiced by Rob Paulsen) and Madeline "Maddie" Fenton (voiced by Kath Soucie) are Danny and Jazz's parents. They are professional yet bumbling jumpsuit-wearing ghost hunters who make it their hobby and goal to study and eradicate "all things ectoplasmic." at one point clashing toe-and-toe against Vlad Plasmius and defeating him In Pt. 2 of the "Danny Phantom Ten Years Later" video on YouTube, series creator Butch Hartman stated that he partially based Jack off Fred Flintstone. Maddie Fenton (née Grant) is an accomplished ninth-degree martial artist and Jack's partner. Similar to Jazz, Maddie is very serious and more level-headed than Jack is, often supporting or trying to keep her husband from causing trouble with his gung-ho attitude, yet she can be aggressive and snappy at times. Jazz also seems to have inherited her intellect from Maddie as well, as Maddie herself is a genius scientist who has her fair share of anti-ghost inventions she herself creates alongside Jack; she also has degrees in chemistry, engineering, and quantum physics from the University of Wisconsin. ==Villains==
Villains
Ghost villains Amorpho Amorpho (voiced by Danny Mann) is a ghost able to change his appearance into that of any human or animal at will.

Dark Danny came to be after an explosion of the Nasty Burger restaurant killed Danny Fenton's family, friends, and teacher. Overcome with grief and guilt, Danny moved in with Vlad Masters, feeling that only he could understand his pain. Danny asked Vlad to remove his emotions. Honoring his wishes, Vlad separated Danny's human half from his ghost self; later, Danny retaliated, doing the same to Vlad. The ghost-half of Danny then attempted to possess Vlad, eventually fusing their bodies together. Plasmius's ghost-half overwhelmed Danny's, creating an even more evil and more powerful version of the two halves. He spent the next ten years destroying the world. Through time travel, the present-day Danny defeats Dark Danny and imprisons him in a Fenton Thermos which he gives to Clockwork.

She is constantly under dire stress over Johnny, wishing he would focus his full attention on her. She has attempted to make him jealous and at several points, banished him to an alternate dimension via her ghostly ability to send any man to another dimension with a kiss.

Pariah Dark Pariah Dark (voiced by Brian Cox) was the ruthless king of the Ghost Zone, until he was eventually captured by rebellious ghosts and sealed in the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep, where he lay until Vlad accidentally awakened him. He immediately laid waste to both Amity Park and the Ghost Zone until Danny ultimately defeated him, using a power-enhancing suit to enhance his powers beyond their limits.

Vlad is a powerful half-ghost businessman and scientist whose twenty years of experience constantly one-up Danny's ghostly abilities. Serving as the main antagonist in the series, he vows to destroy Jack for giving him his ghost powers, which in the process injured him terribly and put him in the hospital for seven years with a fatal condition known as "Ecto Acne". He wrongfully blamed this for ruining his life; however, it was his own evil plots that were the real product of his own personality flaws and refusal to accept that Maddie would never love him (the three had been classmates at the University of Wisconsin-Madison). Vlad's love for the Green Bay Packers and their linebacker Ray Nitschke is attributed and added due to series producer and writer Steve Marmel's fondness for them. Vortex Vortex (voiced by Dave Boat) is a psychotic ghost with the power to control the weather, a gift he considers to be an art form. He finds Earth to be a meaningless planet, and has wrought havoc on it throughout the ages.

However, Vortex rebels against Vlad and conjures up violent weather all over the world until Danny defeats him, gaining and losing Vortex's climate control powers.

Walker Walker (voiced by James Arnold Taylor) is a strict vigilante and warden who runs the prison of the Ghost Zone. He enjoys law and order and often commands with an iron fist; whoever so much as disobeys one rule from his law and rule book is in giant trouble.

When asked by the Observants to kill Danny Fenton to prevent a future where his evil self wrecks the planet, Clockwork seemingly appears to be Danny's enemy. In reality, he is merely helping and urging him to make the right decisions so that he can prevent Danny's death by the Observants. Pandora Pandora (voiced by April Stewart) is the creator and owner of "Pandora's box". When Danny was powerless to stop the Box Ghost from creating havoc with the box, he entered her lair and asked her help in retrieving it back.
