| Freakshow | "Control Freaks" (episode #20) | Freakshow (Jon Cryer) (a spoof of The Joker) is the ringmaster of the Circus Gothica. An entertainer for the Gothic audience, Freakshow is eccentric, full of showmanship and creativity. His family have used ghosts for their circus for years. Unsatisfied with just a showman's life, Freakshow used a magic scepter able to control ghosts and ordered them to steal goods. He went to Amity Park to make Danny Phantom a member of his performance. He succeeds briefly until Sam snaps him out of it and Danny destroys the scepter.
He is promptly jailed for his crimes. He escapes and uses the fabled Reality Gauntlet to bend reality to his whim, only to be outsmarted by Danny again. Danny successfully uses "Ghost Envy," Freakshow's jealousy of ghosts, against him and defeats him for good. Freakshow is mainly a spoof of the Ringmaster, but the Reality Gauntlet storyline makes him slightly a spoof of Thanos. |

| The Guys in White | "The Million Dollar Ghost" (episode #19) | The Guys in White (a spoof on the Men In Black), are a secret government organization whose goal is to eliminate all ghosts and other paranormal beings on Earth. Most of the time, the Guys in White are represented by Agents K and O, usually tasked with capturing Danny Phantom. They are often incompetent and spend time bickering amongst themselves. They're highly prepared for any tasks, almost to the point of paranoia. A recurring gag is that, despite their immense dedication and resources, they always fail in capturing Danny Phantom. At one point, Danny asks why they are hunting him, to which they respond that while they are aware that he's good-hearted and has good intentions, he's also too powerful and dangerous to walk freely. | |
| The Masters' Blasters | "Phantom Planet" (episode #52) | Vid (Colleen O'Shaughnessey), Thrash (Dee Bradley Baker), and Download (Rob Paulsen) are a trio of teen ghost hunters, created by Vlad to shame Danny and dethrone him as resident savior of Amity Park. They embodied everything that is radical and are often cheeky. The three are later betrayed by their employer when he reveals himself as a half-ghost. | |
| Valerie Gray | "Shades of Gray" (episode #10) | Valerie Gray (Grey DeLisle and Cree Summer) is the series' main antiheroine. Once a rich, shallow, popular girl, Valerie's life takes a turn for the worse when accidents caused by a ghost dog cost her father his job. Now living an average life, Valerie vowed revenge against all ghosts for ruining her life after being given a ghost hunting suit and gears from Vlad (unbeknownst to her at the time). Vlad employs her to do his bidding until she finds out that Vlad was a half-ghost and that he was manipulating her. She is hot-tempered, which often clouds her judgment, but slowly starts to realize a world beyond the superficial. She briefly strikes a romance with Danny Fenton, but clashes very often with his alter ego. | |
