Top 10 Best Danny Phantom Characters

The best characters are from the Nickelodeon TV show Danny Phantom.

This show follows Danny Fenton, a teenage boy with ghost powers. He saves the world from evil ghosts.

The Top Ten
  1. Danny Fenton / Danny Phantom

    Daniel "Danny" Fenton, also known by his alias Danny Phantom, is the half-human and half-ghost protagonist of the animated television series Danny Phantom. In his ghostly superhero form, Danny Phantom protects the citizens of Amity Park from dangerous ghosts that emerge from the Ghost Zone. The series... read more

    Danny Phantom is really cute. Not only is he cute, but he's also confident, strong, and very caring. He taught many lessons over the three seasons that aired.

    Although people at Casper High thought Danny Fenton was nerdy and wimpy, he never let their opinions hurt his feelings. He taught me important lessons like never giving up even if you might lose, doing the right thing, not hurting people even if they injure you because violence isn't the answer, and that friends will always matter more than popularity. Even though I hate standing out, he taught me many more valuable things.

    He's cute! The first time I watched this, I fell in love with Danny. I used to draw pictures of him (I was only 7), but now I'm thirteen, and I still find myself entertained by that show.

    And now they took it off Netflix, so I have to buy the episodes from iTunes. Stupid Netflix.

  2. Ember McLain

    Ember McLain is a fictional character in the American animated series Danny Phantom, created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. She is a ghost villain who uses her musical talents to gain power and influence others. Ember is known for her rebellious punk-rock style and her catchphrase, Ember, you will... read more

    Ember deserves to be higher. She's my favorite character.

  3. Jazz Fenton

    Jasmine "Jazz" Fenton is a fictional character in the American animated series Danny Phantom, created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. She is the intelligent and protective older sister of the show's protagonist, Danny Phantom. Jazz plays a key role in supporting her brother as he navigates his ghost-fighting... read more

    Jazz is adorable. From the first season, she seems to be caring and kind to Danny, looking out for him. She didn't force Danny to tell her his secret but instead played it cool and understanding after finding out by accident.

    Like a mature, motherly sister, she does what she thinks is right, such as trying to protect Danny. Jazz and Sam are two of my favorite characters because of their personalities.

  4. Sam Manson

    Samantha "Sam" Manson is one of the deuteragonists in the animated television series Danny Phantom. She is a Jewish teenage girl who identifies as Goth and follows a strict vegetarian lifestyle, referring to herself as an "ultra-recyclo-vegetarian." Sam is one of Danny Fenton's closest friends, alongside... read more

    Sam is a goth and an ultra-recycled vegetarian. She doesn't care what others think of her lifestyle.

    Before I saw Sam, I only liked pink things, but she taught me that beauty isn't everything and that friends are more important than appearances. She also taught me that you should be happy with your personality and not try to be someone you're not.

    I like Sam because she is strong, independent, and doesn't care what people think of her. For that reason, I will always be a fan of hers.

  5. Danielle "Dani" Phantom

    Danielle "Dani" Phantom is a fictional character in the American animated series Danny Phantom, created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. She is an imperfect female clone of Danny Phantom, created by Vlad Plasmius in an attempt to produce the perfect half-ghost son for himself. Dani eventually rebels... read more

    They should've made an episode where she gets adopted by Jack and Maddie. After D-Stabilized, no one knew what happened to her, and I don't think a 12-year-old should be living on her own. It would have been cool to see her added to their family.

    If she appeared in Phantom Planet, then why didn't Danny even say hi to her? She's just living wherever and is only 12. Danny should've taken her home with him and had her adopted by his parents.

    Danielle is a cute little ghostie who, despite going through a lot, still hopes for the best. I love her so much, and given that she's a kid, it's hard for her to take these steps.

  6. Desiree

    Desiree is a ghost character from the animated series Danny Phantom, created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. She has the power to grant wishes, which often results in unintended consequences that she uses to increase her own power.

He is Danny's arch-enemy, Jack Fenton's former best friend, and Maddie's former love interest. Vlad is voiced by Martin Mull and first... read more

  9. Tucker Foley

    Tucker Foley is a fictional character in the American animated series Danny Phantom, created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. He is one of Danny's two best friends and is portrayed as a dedicated techno-geek. Tucker uses his technological expertise to support Danny in battles against ghosts.

    I think Tucker is a cool character. He's the one with the gadgets and hacking skills. Plus, he's really funny!

  10. Box Ghost

    Why isn't he higher on the list? His backstory is amazing! He's a corrupt future version of Danny, and Danny had to defeat him, even though he's stronger than Danny in almost every way.

  20. Princess Dorathea

  21. Nicolai Technus

  22. Valerie Gray

    I love her! She is such a badass. Girl power! I loved that conversation she had with Dani.

  23. Terminatra

  24. Clockwork

    Why is he never on any lists? I know he was barely seen in the series, but he was still a great character. Why is Paulina listed but not Clockwork?

    Just need to get him higher than Paulina, and I'm OKAY!

  25. Star

  26. Wulf

  27. Freakshow

    Freakshow is a fictional character in the American animated series Danny Phantom, created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. He is a circus-themed villain who uses ghost-powered artifacts to commit crimes. Freakshow made his first appearance in the episode Control Freaks.

    I just love Freakshow.

    He's such an underused character. He has a witty name and a cool gang of circus performers with unique abilities. He essentially embodies the mature cartoon villain. The best part about him is how he hypnotizes Danny (great episode).

    Unfortunately, many people didn't like Reality Trip, the second episode he appeared in, which ultimately marked his end, but we all miss him.

  28. Youngblood

  29. Fright Knight

    Fright Knight is a fictional character in the American animated series Danny Phantom, created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. He is portrayed as the Ghost Zone's greatest warrior and serves as a villain in the series. Fright Knight first appeared in the episode titled Fright Night.
