Dan Phantom BG

Ghost Sense: Like his younger counterpart, Dan can sense both nearby ghosts and half-ghosts, though his ghost sense is red instead of blue. When his ghost sense is activated, red wisps of mist come out from his nose. The reason why he still has this power is that the Ghost Sense was originally a power that only Danny possesses and kept that power after melding with Vlad.

Intangibility, Invisibility, & Flight: Standard ghost powers. He can fly faster than Danny and Vlad. During his last fight with Valerie, he was able to make a sudden dash of speed that can take his enemy unguarded. Dark Danny's invisible duplicate can turn intangible to move through solid objects, but anti-ghost weapons can hurt him while intangible. When he spotted Jazz during the C.A.T., he created an invisible duplicate to take care of her.

Intangibility Fusion: Dan can fuse an object inside someone in order to make it unreachable and untouchable, such as when he fused one of Clockwork's medallions into Danny.

Pyrokinesis: He can create powerful torrents of green ghost fire that can break through the ground. Furthermore, his hair is made of white fire, (the hotest fire known to man) a ghostly flames that can ignite flammable objects. It is possible that he controls whether his ponytail is stationary or flaming, as it is sometimes motionless like normal hair.

Supernatural Strength: Dan is far stronger than Danny or Vlad. He was able to sweep aside a person who had trained against him for years with a single punch, as well as easily lift and throw army tanks, which each weigh around 70 to 80 tons or more. He is the only ghost who is strong enough to rip off the specter deflector, which normally harms ghosts and needs a key to unlock.

Supernatural Durability: Dan is more resistant to injuries or damage than an ordinary human or ghost. He can withstand a variety of great impacts without taking any damage, such energy blasts, oil truck explosions, two of Danny's Ghostly Wails, and multi-story buildings crumbling down at ground zero. Dan is the only ghost whose powers cannot be weakened by any Fenton Works gadgets like the Fenton Specter Deflector, Skulktech's Phantom Palm Pummeler, or any other ghost weakening technology or power.

Healing Factor: As with his younger counterpart, he can heal from even life-threatening wounds, and is able to survive and withstand any injury that befalls him. Dan has been seen healing in tough battles with Valerie.

Supernatural Stamina, Speed, Agility, & Reflexes: Dan's ghostly physiology allows him to be faster, agile, and have greater reflexes than Danny and Vlad. He can also produce almost no fatigue toxins during physical activity. As he is a full ghost, he can physically exert himself at peak capacity longer than his young counterpart, possibly even for days, before fatigue begins to impair him. Dan is also possibly faster than either Vlad or Danny, who both are much faster than regular ghosts.

Ghost Ray: Dan can fire powerful ghost rays. Like his younger counterpart, his blasts are composed of green and white ectoplasm. Even without using his full power, Dan can blow apart a good portion of a multi-story building. He can also fire ghost rays in the form of powerful sliding waves of ecto-energy capable of knocking Valerie several feet away. Strangely, Dan, who is Danny's most powerful enemy (with the possible exception of Pariah Dark) fires green colored rays, although he could possibly not be using all of his power, so it presumably his ghost rays can be fired in other colors like Vlad.

Ghost Stinger: Dan used this electric attack to instantly drain Danny of his power, forcing him to turn back to his human form. He may also use it to knock out normal humans as he did with Jazz.

Energy Strike: Like Danny and Vlad, Dark Danny can channel his ghost energy into his fist for a powerful blow.

Ecto-Energy Constructions: Dan has formed objects such as binds and ropes out of ecto-energy. He creates Ecto-Energy Rope to bind Danny and another one during their final battle. He shot ectoplasmic goo from his fingertips in order to bind his foes and gag people.

Ghostly Wail: A unique power only possessed by Danny and Dan, Dark Danny can generate an extremely powerful sonic scream, with a moaning ghost-like sound. This power is so strong that it causes terrible pain to ghosts and damage tangible matter, caused an earthquake, and destroyed the ghost shield protecting the future Amity Park, which had withstood all his other powerful attacks until then, with just one use of his Ghostly Wail. He used it a second time to blow away a whole army of tanks and helicopters, crumbling buildings, and shattering glass with this power. He later uses it against Sam and Tucker, but they escape by using Clockwork's time medallions to return to their time. At one point he used this to destroy Ember's vocal cords. This is Dark Danny's most powerful attack, and he can use it more than once without losing energy. This power took ten years for Dark Danny to develop.

Telekinesis: Visible in the form of green energy emanating from his hands and surrounding the subject of the telekinesis. He can use his telekinesis to render his enemies immobile.

Ghost Portal Creation: Unlike Danny or Vlad, Dan can create his own ghost portals between Earth and the Ghost Zone by merely waving his hand. He can travel between the two worlds or get rid of his foe by restricting their movements and tossing them inside, closing the portal behind them. Dan could possibly close portals that aren't his and he said the only remain portal was Vlad's indicating he destroyed every natural and artificial portal to the Ghost Zone and Human world but he was unable to destroyd Vlad's portal because it was hidden underground in the human world and the other side was hidden in the Ghost Zone.

Technopathy: He managed to hijack future Valerie's communicator frequency when she was inside a ghost shield and he was outside of it.

Duplication: Dan can easily create several duplicates of himself. These duplicates can be invisible when made. He is possibly skilled as Vlad is with this power, as he often uses his proficiency in duplication as a powerful advantage against an enemy.

Spectral Body Manipulation: Dan can easily stretch his body or create holes in it, as well as turn his head around 180 degrees. Dan can also momentarily become an ectoplasmic vapor to pass through objects that could harm him even when intangible (such as Valerie's ghost hunting gear).

Shapeshifting: Dan can assume the appearance of his former human self, as a disguise, despite no longer being a half-ghost. It is unknown if he can take any other form or not, along with gaining some powers. While impersonating his younger self his eyes turned red instead of their usual green.

Voice Manipulation: Dan can alter his voice to sound like Danny.

Master Strategist: Like Vlad, he is very cunning and devious. If Clockwork hadn't interfered, he would have succeeded in making Danny turn into him. It highly possible that Dan planned to exist outside of time by fusing the time medallion into his body if he lost, to pave the way for his revenge.

Deception/Manipulation: Like Vlad, he is very cunning and devious. He also displays to be great in manipulating his family, friends, and teacher into thinking he was the real Danny until Jazz exposed him in front of them at the Nasty Burger.

Experienced Combatant: Dan is considerably skilled in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts, as his powers enable him to execute punches and kicks with superhuman force against his opponents. He inherited this ability from both Danny and Vlad, making him an even more deadly fighter than either of them were. He also presumably inherited their Swordsmanship skills.

Tragic Origins

In the original timeline, before Clockwork's intervention, Danny, after a fight with Box Lunch, inadvertently steals the answers to the Career Aptitude Test, while being invisible through his ghost powers, after an explosion Danny's phasing had him pass through the briefcase containing the C.A.T's answers, which stuck to his back, despite this being an accident, Danny still used this as an opportunity to cheat on the Career Aptitude Test. Suspicious of Danny, Mr. Lancer called the Fentons to the Nasty Burger for a meeting. Sam and Tucker were also there. Unfortunately, the Nasty Burger's vat of Nasty Sauce exploded just at that time, killing Danny's family, his friends Sam and Tucker, and Mr. Lancer. As a result, the guilty, grief-stricken and orphaned boy was forced to move in with his archenemy, Vlad Masters, as he was the only person left who Danny felt could possibly understand his situation.

Despite the history of animosity between the two, Vlad treated Danny with a great deal of sympathy. Blaming no one but himself, most notably his ghost self and completely taken over by grief, Danny asked Vlad to separate his human-half from his ghost-half to not only remove his ghost powers, but also so he wouldn't have to deal with his human emotions anymore, believing that they were responsible for the deaths of his family, friends, and teacher. He also thought that his ghost half would be free of all emotion, ridding him of the pain and guilt that he was feeling. Vlad obliged him, using the Ghost Gauntlets to separate Danny's ghost half from his human half.

The separated Danny Phantom, now free of the conscience of Danny Fenton, was also filled with all of Danny's anger and negativity. Immediately it overcame Vlad and took the Ghost Gauntlets. He removed Vlad's ghost half and attempted to overshadow it but it backfired and he merged with it, but was overwhelmed by the evil in Vlad Plasmius. This resulted in the birth of Dan Phantom, the most powerful and evil ghost to ever exist. His first act of malice was to murder his human half and destroy Vlad's entire mansion, though he left Vlad alive to tell the tale of his beginning.

Decade of Destruction

For the next ten years, Dan Phantom committed numerous atrocities against both Earth and the Ghost Zone, culminating in the near-complete desolation of Amity Park and the destruction of many ghosts. At some point, he crossed paths with one of his most powerful enemies the Fright Knight, who the latter began to serve him. The Observants ordered Clockwork to kill Danny in the past to prevent Dan's rise.

Dispatching various ghosts from the future, Clockwork set in motion a series of events that led young Danny to eventually come to the future, where he encountered his dark older self. They fought, but Dan easily won, trapping Danny in the future while Dan went to the past to murder the Fentons, Sam, Tucker, and Lancer, in an effort to preserve his existence.

Back to the Past

Dan then disguised himself as fourteen-year-old Danny Fenton and traveled to the past via one of Sam's and Tucker's time medallions to ensure his future by cheating on the C.A.T. Jazz found him with the C.A.T. answers and alerted Mr. Lancer, who called his parents over to the Nasty Burger for a discussion.

Sam and Tucker came as well to warn them of the impending explosion, and Jazz, using the Fenton Ghost Peeler, exposed Dan to all of them.

Dan mocked Danny's parents for failing to notice that their son was half-ghost and noted Jazz was the only one to notice. He then tied them all to the Nasty Sauce vat with ectoplasmic goo just as it was about to blow.

Just then, Danny returned from the future and saw what his future self was up to, and they battled. Even with the aid of the Specter Deflector and the Ghost Gauntlets, Dan still proved too much for Danny but did not kill him as his own existence was at stake. Dan mocked Danny for being powerless against him and promising to protect his friends and family.

Refusing to let down his friends and family, Danny unleashed his new Ghostly Wail. Dan was shocked, as he himself didn't develop that power for another ten years. Danny took advantage of Dan's surprise to unleash another Ghostly Wail, weakening Dan enough for Danny to trap him in the Fenton Thermos.

Existing Outside of Time

Clockwork took the thermos containing Dark Danny and sealed it within his lair. Now that the events leading to Dark Danny had been averted, Dark Danny now exists outside of time and, due to this, the Observants declared that Dark Danny is now Clockwork's responsibility.

In the end, Dark Danny is seen attacking the thermos from the inside, attempting to break free.

The Escape

It took years to gather the strength needed to break free, and once he finally broke through the walls of the Thermos, he took his revenge on Clockwork. The fight was brutal and long, but eventually, Dan was overpowered by the combined strength of Clockwork and the Observants. chained and gagged, Dan stood before the counsel, awaiting whatever judgment would befall him for his crimes. To the surprise of everyone, Clockwork gave him a choice: Atone for his evil acts or be trapped for eternity in the deepest, darkest corner of the Ghost Zone, not unlike Pariah Dark.

The Deal

Reluctantly agreeing to the terms given to him, Dan is given a human vessel to inhabit, as his existence is too unstable without a tether to the current timeline. Once again fused into a human body, Dan is then let go with the warning of having his tether taken away should he try to attack his past self or anyone close to him.

So he wanders, desolate and alone, angry at his circumstances and at the Ghost that put him here.
