History Awesome / DannyPhantom

--> '''All four Dannies in unison: Now LEAVE MY TOWN ''ALONE!'''''

-->'''Vlad:''' [[ThisCannotBe It's not impossible!]] You're an idiot! An idiot!
-->'''Jack:''' [[InsultBackfire Maybe so, but I'm the idiot who beat]] ''[[InsultBackfire you]]''.

** He later tops ''that'' in the series finale after finding that his best friend is a bitter half-ghost hybrid and wants to kill him and steal his wife (and, by extension, his family).

--->'''Jack:''' An old friend? No. You? ''Yes''.
** After Danny (Phantom) unveils his ultimate plan to save the Earth, he then asks the uncertain Amity Park citizens who is with him in pulling it off. Jack, likely boosted by his final conversation with Vlad, is the ''first'' one to show his support by clapping, without even waiting a full beat. This leads everyone else to join in and rally behind Danny.

* In the Christmas special, The Fright Before Christmas, the Ghostwriter puts Danny through hell for [[DisproportionateRetribution accidentally destroying his finished book]]. When Danny finally decides to confront him, the Ghostwriter makes it so he runs into all his other enemies instead, expecting them to jump at the chance to pound Danny. Instead, they all invite him to their Christmas Party, refusing to break their annual Christmas Truce, the one thing that doesn't happen like the Ghostwriter expected it to. Once Danny tells them that The Ghost Writer has broken the truce though [[EnemyMine they all agree to help Danny]] and the Ghoswriter is assaulted by almost every villain in the show.

* Though usually falling into the role of BumblingDad, Jack Fenton got his SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in the episode "The Million Dollar Ghost" by single-handedly beating up Vlad Plasmius and tossing him into the Ghost Zone. He may be a bumbling idiot, but underneath it all, he's a CouchingMoronHiddenBadass who fights [[PapaWolf to protect his family]].

* Maybe a minor one, but Jack managing to overpower Vlad for a short time in "Bitter Reunions" so he could warn Maddie should count.

* Though she didn't succeed in defeating [[PsychoForHire Dark Danny]], the fact that Valerie Gray was the only one in the [[BadFuture alternate future]] to even stand up to him on a daily basis is badass on its own.

** On a meta-level, the GhostlyWail power as a whole. Think about it. All the "classic" spooky things have something about them that is timeless, something that we can see and instantly make the connection. Werewolves howl, vampires turn into bats, Frankenstein's' Monster is a zombie, i.e. SOMETHING that no matter what medium or genre, is something that you can reliably come to expect and say "Hey, that's a (X) or (Y) or (Z)!" So then you think of a ghost, what would a classic ghost do? They say: "[=OOOoooOOOooohhh=]!" when they make their presence known. Here we have a series that has ghosts and other spectral powers as a main part of the setting. What's the most powerful ghost power? It's the one that is timeless, the FIRST ghost power, the one thing that identifies something as a ghost right when you hear it.

* "Secret Weapons" when up against his sister inside a powerful Ecto-Suit that is equal to his power. When it seems she has the clear upper hand, Danny stops her punch ''with his own palm'', then proceeds to lift up the suit over him like a discarded paper towel and bury about ninety percent of it ''underground''. Then he proceeds to talk some sense into her.

* In "Secret Weapons," when Jazz (in the Ecto-Skeleton) attempts to punch Danny, he ''intercepts the punch dead in its tracks '''with just his bare hand'''''. Keep in mind that the Ecto-Skeleton was designed to amplify the wear's abilities ''100-fold''; this further highlights [[StrongerThanTheyLook just how strong]] Danny Phantom truly is.

-->'''Dan''': [[EvilLaugh AHAHAHAHAHAHAAA]]! Oh, you are ''such'' a ''child!'' You ''promised''?

* Driving Danny to ultimately blackmail him in his first episode, achieving his goal of giving the boy a taste of [[NotSoDifferent his own darkness]] -- one that has its own MythArc, his ''entire first appearance'' is one SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.

-->'''Dan''': That power, agh! It's not possible! [[StableTimeLoop I don't get that power until ten years from now]]!

-->'''Danny:''' Listen to me, I swear I'll walk out of my dad right now and expose us ''both'', unless you agree to a truce.\\

'''Danny:''' No, I'm not. My parents will accept ''me'', no matter what! But if I expose ''you''... well, what would ''my mom'' think of you?\\

-->'''Danny:''' Ghost powers? Ugh, I'm such an idiot! Technus used his powers to enter the game, so...why can't I, right?

* What? No love for when Danny fights Johnny 13, in his first appearance as an antagonist for Danny? I mean Johnny tried to use Jazz as a vessel for his girlfriend Kitty to take control of the whole episode... not on his watch! Nobody messes around with his sister! Danny kicked his butt hard, then sucked him into the Fenton Thermos. "Better luck next time. But next time...[[BigBrotherInstinct Stay away from my sister]]."

** Hell, Pariah himself is a badass. He shows us that the current generation of ghosts are no more than children to him. Danny has to use a suit that increased his power ''hundredfold'' just to beat him. Even after Pariah loses one of his power enhancing items, Danny only barely manages to shut Pariah back into his coffin.

* From the finale [[spoiler: after Danny's powers are restored:]]

-->[[spoiler: '''Danny''': Well gang, there's [[GoodNewsBadNews good news and bad news.]] The good news? My powers are back. Bad news? [[MassOhCrap My]] ''[[NiceJobFixingItVillain powers]]'' [[HesBack are]] ''[[ThemeMusicPowerUp BACK!]]'' ''(unleashes Ghostly Wail)'']]

* [[OverlyLongGag Let's make it seven]]. In the flashback scene where we witness Dark Danny's "birth," the very first thing he does after [[spoiler:killing his human half]] is ''blow up Vlad's entire mansion'' and fly away with a [[SlasherSmile horrific grin]] on his face. Not bad for his first minute of existence.
* The fact that they were able to get away with him in the first place is a CMOA for the creators. Sure, he [[NeverSayDie can't say die]]...so he'll use the creepiest possible euphemisms. He can't [[BloodlessCarnage draw blood]]... but no one said anything about maiming. They didn't [[spoiler:[[ShadowDiscretionShot show him actually killing his human self]]]]...but that just made it worse. They essentially take every trope the censors use to avoid this level of terror and twist it against them. ''Awesome''.

* Danny and Jack go fishing one day when Skulker brings out a giant lizard ghost which eats Danny. What does Jack do? He uses a fishing rod to swing himself onto the lizard and knocks the hunter off, then sprays the sea monster in the eyes with hot cheese and causes it to smash into a rock wall. Jack then takes Danny out of its mouth and uses the fishing pole to literally hook the hunter ghost's head by its chin, taking its head clean off.

* All the ghosts in "Reign Storm" gets their crowning moments when they help Danny combat Pariah's army, even the Box Ghost! Do not underestimate bubble wraps.

--->'''Vlad''': I tell you this because I've seen your grades, and I know how you're bad at math. These are my latest experiments. What do you think? Oh, that's right. Who ''cares'' what you think? I'll give you five minutes before I send my minions to destroy you. The clock's ticking, Danny...on you and your father. '''Run.''' ''*Danny takes off*'' Get him! ''*ghost animal mooks go after Danny*'' [[SarcasmMode 5 minutes, 5 seconds, Oh, apparently]] ''[[SarcasmMode I'm]]'' [[SarcasmMode bad at math too.]] ''*cue his evil grin*''
