Danny Phantom
- The pseudonym for Danny Fenton, a 14 year-old boy who was transformed into
a ghostly being on the fantasy cartoon series DANNY PHANTOM/NIK/2004+. Danny received his ghostly powers when he stepped inside
a "strange machine" (the Fenton Ghost Portal) created by his father,
Jack Fenton that was designed to view alternate universes. Danny
accidentally turned on the portal while inside and his molecules fused
with ghostly ectoplasms. Now, Danny has the ability to disappear at
will, walk through walls and fly. When he transforms, Danny's normal
teenage cloths change into a skin-tight black and white superhero
costume while his dark hair turns white and his eyes glow green.
When not fighting ghosts, Danny hangs out
at Casper High School where he is a freshman. His best friends are his
extremely talkative friend, Tucker Foley who covers for Danny when he
leaves school to battle ghosts
("What ever he's doing, I'm sure it has nothing to do
with ghosts"); and Samantha "Sam"
Manson Danny's smart "Goth" friend (she's a girl but not his
girlfriend) who shares an interest in the paranormal, and chooses to
be a vegetarian.
Danny's nemesis at Casper High is Dash
Baxter, a bully and the most popular guy on campus who always gives
Danny a hard time. But now that Danny has new found powers, he can
hold his own against Dash's taunts.
At home, Danny has to contend with his
ghost hunter parents, Jack and Maddie (who are oblivious to the fact
that Danny is half-ghost); and his older snobby sister, Jasmine "Jazz"
Fenton who keeps Danny's super abilities secret mostly because she
doesn't want her "cool " friends at school to learn about her
brother's geeky powers. And because she hates her parents profession
and does ever thing she can to stop them in the pursuit of the
paranormal.
Other women in Danny's are Paulina, the
most popular girl in school whom Danny likes (she doesn't like him
because he's not popular - Oh if she only knew the real Danny); and
Valerie Grey, a fellow high school student who secretly battles ghost
in her spare times.

of Technology"
-
The Lunch Lady, who loves meat and hates
vegetarians.
-
Vladimir "Vlad" Masters/Vlad Plasmius, a
former colleague of Jack Fenton who got turned into a ghost during a
failed lab experiment in Jack's lab and seeks revenge.
-

powers and ponytail grow when fans cheer her name
-

misery to stay young.

Song Lyrics
He's a phantom
Danny Phantom, (echo) Danny Phantom, Phantom
Yo Danny Fenton he was just 14,
When his parents built a very strange machine,
It was designed to view a world unseen
He's gonna catch em all 'cuz he's Danny Phantom
When it didn't quite work his folks they just quit,
But then Danny took a look inside of it,
There was a great big flash everything just changed,
His molecules got all rearranged
Phantom, Phantom
When he first woke up he realized,
He had snowy white hair and glowy green eyes,
He could walk through walls, disappear, and fly,
He was much more unique than the other guy
And it was then that he knew what he had to do,
He had to stop all the ghosts that were comin' through
He's here to fight for me and you
He's gonna catch 'em all
'cuz he's Danny Phantom
Gonna catch 'em all
'cuz he's Danny Phantom
Gonna catch 'em all
'cuz he's (whisper) Danny Phantom
