[edit] Biography

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Johnny 13 first appeared in 13, when he and his girlfriend Kitty attempted to escape the Ghost Zone. Kitty was unable to maintain her form in the real world and needed someone to wear her clothes (a jacket, scarf and ring imbued with her essence) so that she would be able to reform around them and switch places. Unfortunately, Johnny picked Jazz Fenton to be his girlfriend's host. He nearly succeeded, but Danny was able to stop the body transfer by pulling the ring off his sister's finger at the last minute. Johnny was captured and sent back through the portal.

In Lucky in Love, Kitty possesses Paulina and begins dating Danny (who is surprised, delighted and completely oblivious to her true identity) in order to make Johnny jealous. When Danny finds out, he and Johnny stage a fight to help Johnny win her back so that they can both return to the Ghost Zone.

Later, in The Ultimate Enemy, Johnny is crippled after Dark Danny injures him and is forced to stay in a wheelchair. Johnny still has his shadow and Kitty at his side, but his shadow's usually busy pushing Johnny's wheelchair and Kitty's too elderly to fight.

In The Fright Before Christmas, Johnny appears along with many of the ghosts that Danny had faced in previous episodes, and in light of the Christmas truce, helps Danny save Christmas.

He later appears in Girls' Night Out, where Kitty has again split with him due to his womanizing attitude and love for his motorbike; she uses her kissing powers on him, causing him to disappear (only to reappear later when Maddie, Sam and Jazz undo the effects of the kiss to restore all men to Amity Park). His most recent outing has him helping Danny, Skulker and Youngblood blocking an ecto-missile the Guys in White plan on firing into the Ghost Zone during the events of Livin' Large.

[edit] Johnny's Powers

Johnny has ghost powers (invisibility, overshadowing, flight, and intangibility), but Johnny usually prefers to cause mayhem on his bike. His main ability is to summon his shadow to stop his enemies.

[edit] Johnny's Weakness

Johnny cannot use his powers without his Shadow and is always sidetracked by other girls. Shadow, meanwhile, has two primary weaknesses: bright lights, which cause it to disintegrate, and water, which reduces it to a puddle of black slime.
