The "Ghostly Wail" is the latest ghost power of Danny Phantom, as seen in the animated television movie The Ultimate Enemy. It is a sonic scream that sounds alot like a ghost's moaning. Danny Phantom recieved this power when battling his evil future self: Dark Danny in The Ultimate Enemy. Dark Danny already had this power. Whenever Danny uses this power, it drains him of energy and he reverts back to human form, except on one such occasion when his hair and eyes changed back to normal, but the rest of him didn't.

  • Keep as its own article. The character and the TV show itself are obviously two different things. - Brittany
  • I say keep the two articles separate, because of the same reason that Brittany mentioned. - Sierra (anonymous user)
  • Keep it seperate, it has a lot of good information that is not totally referential to Danny himself.

It has a lot of good information however it needs to be organized. and many of the misc are questions not facts. this should be fixed. keep Danny with his own article though.

[edit] Overshadow

It seems that Danny Phantom's Overshadowing ability is more powerful than Vlad's. Vlad had years of experience, but when he tried to Overshadow Jack Fenton in Bitter Reunions, Jack resisted him. However, when Danny Phantom tried for the first time, he was successful, and Jack Fenton wasn't even aware that it happened.

[edit] Possible Powers

Who deleted the possible powers section? I think that was a nice way to follow his "evolution" as a ghost. Can someone rewrite that part?

I got rid of it because that is speculation. Until Danny has the powers, it should not be noted. Check Vlad's and Dark Dannys page. (11987 22:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC))

It should it was vary interesting and i don't see teleportation on the Powers paragraph.

Danny dusnt have the powers and therefore shudnt be listed. its speculation. (11987 01:16, 27 July 2006 (UTC))

Possible solution: Entitle the section "Powers Used by Other Ghosts." Make it clear in the opening paragraph that Danny has not yet used those powers but it is likely that he will learn some of them (namely abilities used by Vlad and his future self). Also, move this section above the trivia section. Trivia typically goes at the end. I'll go do that now. Revert it if unsatisfied.64.175.36.108 19:15, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Actually, it's unlikely that Danny will learn any abilities from enemy ghosts other than ghost-human hybrids. I won't delete those yet until further discussion; I'll move those to the end of the section, though. 64.175.36.108 19:26, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
As of now, PacificCoastHighway has changed it back. If you're reading this, PCH, can you explain your comment (Let's not speculate. And the section explicitly said stuff other ghosts can do. Not him specifically.) First of all, calling it "possible powers" is more speculative than referring to it as abilities that other ghosts have demonstrated. Second, it explicitly said stuff that other ghosts can do because these are abilities that other ghosts can do. Aside from a select few of the abilities, Danny has shown no capability of performing the abilities. In other words, I don't see why you changed it back, so I undid your edit. f you insist on re-reverting it, at least explain why here. 64.175.36.108 22:19, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, let me make things clear. Wikipedia is NOT the place for us to speculate on what *may or may not* happen down the line. Therefore, that section dosen't belong. In addition, that blurb specifically gives mentions to powers that other ghosts have. Not Danny's. Well, in the present tense.

I understand that it's not the place for speculation. I merely moved the section, changed the title, and reworded it slightly. So, why did you revert it to when the section was actually called "Possible Powers" then? Why not just delete that section entirely? If you ask me, I'd say that my version would be considered far less speculative. 64.175.36.108 22:57, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Just changing the name dosen't geet around it. The main content is still of a speculative nature. I'll have a second look. Pacific Coast Highway {blah • I'm a hot toe picker • WP:NYCS} 23:02, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Most of the things there on that list seem to allude to powers that "Evil Danny" might have. Pacific Coast Highway {blah • I'm a hot toe picker • WP:NYCS} 23:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I decided to remove the section in it's entirety. 64.175.36.108 seemed to have the better idea. Pacific Coast Highway {blah • I'm a hot toe picker • WP:NYCS} 23:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

There's a contradicting statement regarding invisibility and intangibility, it says that Sam could see him in Memory Blank when he was phasing through the floor, and right after it says that they both work similarly and thus work together. This should be fixed. 201.37.26.44 00:17, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ectoplasmic Illumination

Ectoplasmic Illumination looks like Danny's ghost ray that isn't fireing.

[edit] Image problem

Image:danny_phantom_01.jpg was added for the image on the top of the article for the image in the box not to be fooled around. because Image:danny_phantom_01.jpg had Danny's old suit I added Image:Dannyphantomnewform.jpg just so the article could had him in both costumes. Sothe chase is Image:Dannyphantomnewform.jpg should not be added in the box Image:danny_phantom_01.jpg was for that top box oh and no buts Mrsanitazier 18 ,September 2006 12:11 (GMT)

You don't get to dictate the layout of this page. The images were swapped out because of fair use concerns. The article doesn't need both. CovenantD 01:22, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent page moves and redirects

User:Mrsanitazier has been recently cutting and pasting the contents of the article and putting them elsewhere. Could someone explain why this is needed? Pacific Coast Highway {blah • Happy Halloween! • WP:NYCS} 23:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Similarities to other superheroes

I've removed this entire section because it's nothing but speculation and original research, some of it pretty farfetched and all of it unsourced. CovenantD 19:09, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pyrokinesis?

As I have stated in the Ghost Powers section, Danny was shown to have pyrokinesis in the Urban Jungle game, although the game called it Ghostly Fire. While this power has not appeared in the show (yet), I listed it in the powers section because it was featured in the game. Should this information be placed in both this article and the article about the Urban Jungle video game?

[edit] Danny has no gaseous form PERIOD!

Danny's gas form was only used in "Parental Bonding", and was really nothing more than a variation of intangibility. He never used it since, so stop adding it.

The Powers list should only list RECURRING powers in Danny's arsenal. Maetch 17:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that Teleportaion was also removed, since it was only used once too, it should be noted in Invisibility that on that specific occasion it looked like teleportation. 201.17.29.200 22:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Too many images

We're starting to get overrun with too many fair use images. I really don't think we need more than three images. Anything else seems like vanity. Pacific Coast Highway {talk • contribs} 13:23, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duplication

I live in Latin America and I watched the marathon, Danny doesn't get duplication in Torrent of Terror, which is the 4th episode in season 3, not the 1st. He does however uses Cryokinesis a lot in Boxed Up Fury. 201.37.28.3 22:27, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Who keeps changing saying that he uses duplication agaisnt vortex? I watched it and he doesn't, unless he duplicated in the split of second in which I sneezed, he didn't use duplication. 201.37.28.3 21:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Temporary Powers

Should the powers he got from Vortex be listed here as well even though those were only temporary? 201.37.28.3 22:46, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wall Walking

If it is most likely a form of hovering, I think it should be listed under hovering instead of its own seperate entity, and for people who disagree, invisability and intangability are listed together, so why not this? felinoel 20:54, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Powers Vlad Doesn't Have

"[Cryokinesis] is one of two powers (the other being his ghostly wail) that Danny has that Vlad does not" Did Vlad say he didn't have those powers or are we just assuming it since Vlad never uses those powers? felinoel 20:54, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
