A list of the major characters in the animated series Danny Phantom.
open/close all folders Team Phantom Danny Fenton/Danny Phantom Voiced by: David Kaufman "It's been a month since the accident and I still barely have any control. If somebody catches me, I go from geek to freak around here!" Main hero of the series: Upon obtaining his ghost powers through a Freak Lab Accident, 14-year old Danny uses it to combat the various ghosts that inhabit his hometown. He starts off shy, naive, Book Dumb, and emotional, constantly trying to find a place in the world, whether it be gaining popularity or through his ghost powers. By the end of the series, Danny gains confidence, courage, and matures considerably and finds his path as a hero.
Samantha "Sam" Manson Voiced by: Grey DeLisle "Parents don't listen. Even worse, they don't understand. Why can't they accept me for who I am!?" Danny's childhood friend and primary love interest: Sam is a strict vegetarian Goth with an often contradictory personality; she's as rational and levelheaded as she is forceful and selfish. She strives to protect the environment as much as she rebels against her parents. She often keeps Danny (and Tucker) from doing anything too extreme.
Tucker Foley Voiced by: Rickey D'Shon Collins "Some people have a lot, and some people don't, but everybody's got something. Me? I got charms, good looks, and modesty." Danny's childhood friend "since forever", Tucker is a Techno Geek who considers himself God's gift not only to women, but to all humankind. Has a tendency to run into the Sidekick Glass Ceiling that usually leads to With Great Power Comes Great Insanity moments. Unfortunately suffers serious Flanderization by end, if not to make room for the Danny/Sam angle.
Jazz Fenton Voiced by: Colleen O Shaughnessey "16, biologically, but psychologically, I'm an adult." Danny's older sister is a intelligent 16-year old who claims to be an adult trapped in a teenager's body. As such she's often playing a parental role towards her entire family: trying to lead her parents into normality and shielding a then unsure Danny from the harsh realities of the outside world. After finding out Danny's Secret Identity, she slowly gains admiration for her growing brother and eventually becomes part of "Team Phantom". She eventually lets down her shield and slowly starts to act her age, all the while happily acknowledging her love for ghosts — at several times, becoming a Badass Bookworm.
Classmates/Teachers Valerie Gray Voiced by: Grey DeLisle and Cree Summer "See why I need to hunt these ghosts? They think they can do whatever they want, but somebody has to stop them." Main Anti-Hero: Valerie started off as the Rich Bitch before a ghost dog (with Danny in tow) cost her father his job, forcing her to lead a poor, unpopular existence. She was given advanced ghost weapons from Vlad Masters by mail and used them to extract her revenge. She eventually makes it a full time job with Danny Phantom as her primary target. She grows to see the world beyond her once shallow view and eventually develops a romantic interest with Danny Fenton, unaware of his alter ego.
Dash Baxter Voiced by: S. Scott Bullock Standard issue bullying jock who on the outside is the typical menacing antagonist in Danny's school while deep inside, he portrays a far more sensitive soul, used mostly for laughs.
Paulina Voiced by: María Canals Barrera A girl Danny held a crush on before he wised up and moved on. She's the standard issue Alpha Bitch and like all stereotypes like her, tends to victimize the less popular girls and focus primary on shallow mannerisms. She harbors a crush on Danny Phantom.
Mr. Lancer Voiced by: Ron Perlman The primary teacher (and vice-principal) of Casper High. Often strict with an inability to connect with his students, Mr. Lancer may seem like a bullying mentor to Danny (at times, he will often favor Dash simply because he's a popular football player), but deep down, he wants all his students to succeed.
Villains Vlad Masters/Plasmius Voiced by: Martin Mull "I am not a villain; all I wanted was love." A devious Villain with Good Publicity, Vlad is a manipulative, clever, genius billionaire who has made it his lifetime goal to kill his former best friend Jack Fenton and subsequently take back the woman he loves, Maddie. His other goal is to convince Danny to join his side as his surrogate son due to their similar natures (that Danny often denies) and powers. Has a bit of a redemptive side since he's pretty much made to be sympathetic...in a superficial way, but later turns stereotypically evil by Season 3 through Villain Decay.
Box Ghost Voiced by: Rob Paulsen "BEWARE!" A Running Gag Harmless Villain, Box Ghost's main shtick are anything cardboard and square (and the occasional bubble wrap). Consistently pathetic and easy to beat, he remains determined to be taken seriously. He Took a Level in Badass in the Bad Future, becoming incredibly muscular and gaining the ability to form exploding boxes out of energy.
Lunch Lady Voiced by: Patricia Heaton and Kath Soucie "Would you like to try my [insert food here]?" (person refuses) "Then [insert horrifying statement here]!" Her goal is to serve food to everybody, but she goes into a homicidal rage if people refuse. She doesn't like vegetables.
Box Lunch Voiced by: Kath Soucie From the Bad Future, she is the daughter of Box Ghost and Lunch Lady.
SkulkerVoiced by: Mathew St. Patrick and Kevin Michael Richardson 
Technus Voiced by: Rob Paulsen "I AM TECHNUS! Master of technology and destroyer of worlds!" Another common enemy, Technus is an eccentric ghost with formidable technological powers and the goal of WORLD DOMINATION- who gets defeated in every appearance, largely due to his bad habit of shouting his plans at the top of his lungs (though his upgrade into Technus 2.0 helped him break that habit). Nonetheless, as long as he can possess sufficiently advanced machinery, he can be quite formidable. In the Bad Future, he somehow merged with Skulker to become Skulk Tech.
Desiree Voiced by: Peri Gilpin "So you wish it, so shall it be." A ghost genie who is forced to grant people's wishes, most of them resulting a terrible price on the wisher. As a human, Desiree was the Sultan's favored lover of his harem, a love she gave back. The Sultan's jealous wife drove her away, forcing her to remain vindictive and heartbroken throughout the series.
Walker Voiced by: James Arnold Taylor A ghostly sheriff obsessed with maintaining order at any cost, Walker doesn't have as many appearances as some of the other rogues' gallery members, but is still a very significant villain for being the ghost who reveals the existence of ghosts to the world at large and is responsible for Danny's rep as a Hero with Bad Publicity.
Penelope Spectra Voiced by: Tara Strong On the outside, Spectra looks to be a kind, perky woman who just wants to help teenagers and their depression. In reality, she is a Vain Sorceress ghost who sucks in their emotions to further her youth and beauty. Beneath that bubbly personality, Spectra is sadistic and immoral.
Prince AragonVoiced by: Dee Bradley Baker Prince Aragon is the ruthless and cruel older brother of Princess Dorathea (AKA The Dragon Ghost), both of whom appeared to have lived in the Middle Ages (the 4th to the 16th centuries).Ember McLain Voiced by: Tara Strong "Ohhh, Ember, so warm and tender! You will remember my name!" A punk rock Diva, Ember hates all sense of authority and adults. She wants to Take Over the World strictly so people will always remember her name. She tends to be a blunt person. In the Bad Future, she is overweight and her vocal cords have been damaged, rendering her unable to sing.
Youngblood Voiced by: Taylor Lautner A little, immature boy who likes to play dress up. Despite his size and youth, he can be incredibly dangerous.
Johnny 13 Voiced by: William Baldwin A scruffy punk on a motorcycle. His main goals are raising havok and pleasing his girlfriend, Kitty. In the Bad Future, he is in a wheelchair.
Kitty Voiced by: Chynna Phillips Johnny 13's girlfriend. She mostly follows his path, but can be quite dangerous, especially when she's angry. She seemed the least changed in the Bad Future, but joined Johnny and the others in attempting revenge.
Ghost Writer Voiced by: Will Arnett A one-shot villain from the Christmas Episode, he tried to get revenge on Danny for accidentally destroying one of his poems.
Fright Knight Voiced by: Michael Dorn A ghost considered to be the spirit of Halloween, Fright Knight is a very powerful Sealed Evil in a Can inadvertently released by Danny, who was trying to put together a haunted house as part of a detention for Mr. Lancer. He was resealed at the end of the episode, only to be released later by Pariah to serve as The Dragon. At the end of Reign Storm, he was seen to make an alliance with Vlad to take down his master, but this is never really followed up on. In "The Ultimate Enemy's" Bad Future, Dark Danny seems to have inherited his loyalty.
Pariah Dark Voiced by: Brian Cox "It's a burden, isn't it child—Having so much power?" Absolute ruler of the Ghost Zone until he was defeated and imprisoned, Pariah is far and away one of the most powerful character to appear in the series, to the extent of effortlessly owning Vlad within seconds of being freed and commanding the allegiance of Fright Knight, another tremendously powerful villain. He was inadvertently released by Vlad, who was looking for his artifacts of doom, the Ring of Rage and Crown of Fire, and immediately proceeded to conquer both the Ghost Zone and Amity Park. Ultimately, Danny was able to seal him again (with some help), but the Ghost King was not destroyed and may yet be free to walk the world again. In some ways he can be compared to the likes of Darkseid, Trigon, and Apocalypse as the one villain whose power far outstrips all others and can threaten truly apocalyptic damage.
Dark Danny Voiced by: Eric Roberts "You don't get it, do you? I'm still here! I still exist! That means you still turn into me." Danny's alternate future counterpart through a fusion between his ghost half and Vlad's after an accident that renders his family, friends, and teacher dead from a Nasty Burger explosion. He is a straight-to-the-point villain who all but creates mayhem and destruction in his path with absolutely no guilt for his cause. Danny eventually defeats him and with Clockwork's aid, changes the future. Dark Danny now exists outside of time, forever trapped in the Fenton Thermos. Though less powerful than Pariah and (arguably) less cunning than Vlad, he is perhaps the most dangerous villain in the show because of his personal nature and utter depravity.
Others Jack Fenton Voiced by: Rob Paulsen "So, Danny, you and your little friends want to hunt ghosts." Danny's bumbling father, Jack Fenton is an obsessive inventor of ghost weaponry and gadgets, designed to rip them apart molecule by molecule. Naturally, this usually results in a panicky Danny Phantom whom Jack considers as one of his enemies, despite having saved the world countless times. Tends to be clueless, but can briefly turn into a Badass Normal if his loved ones are threatened.
Maddie Fenton Voiced by: Kath Soucie "What, you think I sit home and invent new cookies all day?" Equally obsessed with ghost hunting and research as her husband Jack, Maddie nevertheless remains far more logical, competent, and calmer then her husband. She is the main romantic target for Vlad.
Danielle/Dani Phantom Voiced by: Anna Sophia Robb and Krista Swan "It's "Dani" with an "I"." Danny's clone, created by Vlad as a stepping stone to the perfect Danny Fenton/Phantom clone to call as his own son. Unlike the various other Danny clones, Danielle has a mind of her own, possessing a naive behavior with much of Danny's traits and character. She is often childish and spunky, but well-meaning. An imperfect clone, she is constantly dissolving and until the second-to-last episode has to keep her powers in check. Danny plays a somewhat older brother figure to her.
Clockwork Voiced by: David Carradine "The Observants look at time like they're watching a parade, one thing after another passing by in sequence right in front of them. I see the parade from above, all the twists and turns it might or might not take." The ghost of time, Clockwork keeps the flow of time and interferes when he feels something is disturbing said flow. He is mysterious and powerful, knowing every aspect of time: past, present, and future. He remains a neutral influence in Danny's life, playing only by his rules. He doesn't perceive time as a linear sequence of events; this is reflected in his appearance, which constantly fluctuates in age.
Frostbite Voiced by: Bob Joles Danny's mentor when he received his ice powers. Frostbite is a giant Yeti-like ghost, leader of his tribe and all-around nice guy.
