* {{Doppelmerger}}:
** Ghosts and ghost-human hybrids can duplicate themselves using their ectoplasmic energy. The clones gain all the characteristics, memories, and abilities of the original, but are self-thinking (and grow somewhat weakened the more copies they make). The original can re-absorb their clone when need, and clones will automatically be reabsorbed if they are significantly weakened or pushed together with enough force. Ghost-human hybrids in particular are able to do this in both forms
** In "Identity Crisis", Danny uses the Fenton Ghost Catcher to split his human and ghost halves so he can better catch ghosts while having some free time. This results in a LiteralSplitPersonality, where the human half is fun and lazy while the ghost half has major ChronicHeroSyndrome. When the two try to come back together the way Danny would normally do with his duplicates, however, it doesn't work, and going through the Ghost Catcher again just turns them into two lesser-powered halfas. It isn't until they go through the "Merge" side of the Ghost Catcher that they become one Danny again.
