Danny Phantom (character) - Ghost Powers

Ghost Powers

Upon receiving his ghost powers, Danny often has great difficulties controlling it. His nervous behavior often triggers episodes of intangibility or invisibility, much to his embarrassment. Besides switching between his human and ghost forms, his early powers are flight, intangibility, and invisibility. When he transforms, he shouts "Goin' Ghost", before two white rings intersect his body. When he flies, his legs often turn into a ghost "tail". He also gains super strength and enhanced abilities and agility his human form does not possess. He can manipulate his body and twist himself into odd shapes to avoid stray attacks. He is able to walk on walls, though this is rarely utilized.

He has a ghost sense that manifests as a blue wisp from his mouth that announces the presence of nearby ghosts. Danny describes it as being akin to a cold breath during chilly weather and served as a precursor to his ice powers.

Danny gains a ghost ray that has become one of his most frequently used powers; becoming an energy ball that can expand in size and corresponding area of effect, and even be usable as a flashlight at low power. He possess a ghost shield that can protect him by deflecting attacks. He has the ability to overshadow people and ghosts, causing their eyes to glow green as well as change their voice to his. He later masters the power, able to cancel or control such obvious signs of possession. He can also enter people's dreams.

One of his most powerful attacks is the Ghostly Wail, a sonic scream that can hit multiple targets. It appears to take massive amounts of energy to use, draining Danny heavily, so he often reverts to his human form after use. By the end of the series, he appears to have mastered this ability (to an extent). He can duplicate himself, but struggles to master it throughout the series—often with disastrous or amusing results. He succeeds in splitting in two, then eventually four later on.

Danny either can breathe underwater when in ghost form or does not need to. It is unclear if he can breathe in space, though it is shown that he can handle its extreme conditions with little more than a space helmet. Danny can also produce an ice beam to freeze opponents.
