History Fanfic / APossibleEncounterForAPhantom

* EvilIsSexy: InUniverse, Shego is considered a very attractive woman whilst having people be fully aware that she's a villain at the same time. Danny and Motor Ed certainly think she's this.

* ShipperWithAnAgenda: While Jim and Tim like Danny and want his relationship with Kim to go well, they partly support them because they find the idea of having a superhero for a brother-in-law awesome.

** Kim and Danny are both teen heroes juggling school work, family, and friends. The difference is that Kim is open about her heroics, while Danny has his SecretIdentity. Kim is a BadassNormal, while Danny is a human/ghost hybrid HenshinHero. Kim is an overachieving [[The Ace ace]] and popular cheerleader, while Danny is an underachieving slacker and social misfit. Kim has two brothers, while Danny has two sisters. Kim started her superhero career in her preteen years, while Danny has been fighting evil for at least two years. Kim fights relatively normal bad guys with hand-to-hand combat, and Danny fights ghosts and uses powers.

* AlphaBitch:
** Bonnie and Paulina are this in their respective schools as they revel in being beautiful, popular cheerleaders and bullying the heroes.
** Dash is a Male version. He's the most popular guy in Casper High and definitely not nice.

* AlphaBitch: Bonnie and Paulina are this in their respective schools as they revel in being beautiful, popular cheerleaders and bullying the heroes.

* EntitledBastard: Dash thinks being a quarterback makes him better than others and that Kim should grovel to him just for being one.

* TheGadfly: Bonnie likes to kiss Danny to piss off Kim.

* AbsurdPhobia: Duff Killigan's greatest fear is soccer because he was bullied for not liking that sport as everyone finds out when Danny used him as a human shield for the Fright Knight's Soul Shredder which made him experience his worst nightmare of being turned into a soccer ball and kicked into a net. Everyone but Kim laughs at this.

* ControlFreak: Bonnie treats Danny more like a servant than a boyfriend [[spoiler:when she blackmails him into dating her]]. She's very bossy and demanding, outright ordering Danny to take her on dates and kiss her as well as threatening him into staying away from Kim unless it's hero business or if just acts snippy towards her.

* WimpFight: Ron and Tucker's conflict after the latter expresses no respect for Bueno Nacho is... not as impressive as when Danny and Kim fought.

* WomenPreferStrongMen: Bonnie finds it impressive that Danny is brave enough to stand up to her.
** Bonnie's crush on Danny intensifies after finding out about his ghost powers.

* WomenPreferStrongMen: Bonnie's crush on Danny intensifies after finding out about his ghost powers.

* 0PercentApprovalRating: No one but the A-Listers can stand Dash Baxter's presence. The heroes have nothing but disdain for him for his constant bullying to the point Kim has to forcefully make him leave them alone, Lancer stops favoring him after he goes too far by trying to publicly humiliate Kim, and even Alpha Bitch Bonnie Rockwaller refuses to associate with him after realizing he's too immature for her tastes.

** As attractive as Ember is, Danny isn't interested in her because of her villainous ways and her desire for conquering the world to the point he considers her almost as unappealing as Bonnie.

* AesopAmnesia: After [[spoiler: the Terakon reveals his intellect and rebels against the Faction]], Danny lampshades InUniverse that, no matter how many times Vlad's plans blow up in his face, he never seems to have a failsafe in case things go wrong, calling him a moron.

* AManIsAlwaysEager: Downplayed with Danny as while he enjoys making out with attractive girls like Bonnie and Kim (even while she's under the effects of Ember's love song), he refuses to take it any further than that and won't advantage of a lady, even when Kim is brainwashed into loving him by Ember's love song.

** Danny's already huge crush on Kim intensifies because of her indifference toward his standing in the social order as well as defending him from the A-Listers and the Casper High staff who side with the popular kids.

** Jazz is the most mature and levelheaded of Team Phantom but becomes scarily angry with Sam for setting the Terakon on a rampage by freeing it from Vlad's control and threatens to feed her to it if she does anything like that again.

* BigBrotherInstinct: When he got a message from Kim asking to meet her in Middleton, Danny was excited to see her. When he found out it was because Danielle was in danger, he got serious.

** Dr. Drakken and Shego are a villainous version since he's a Non-Action BigBad mad scientist while she's a DarkActionGirl.

* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Gender-Inverted in both examples:
** Bonnie is an aloof and abrasive AlphaBitch while Danny is a laid-back NiceGuy.
** Shego is a DeadpanSnarker DarkActionGirl while her employer Drakken is a LargeHam Non-Action BigBad.

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Vlad at first considers getting rid of Drakken but agrees to a Villain Team-Up with him because he needs his expertise in cloning to create the Terakon.

** Shego is the most sarcastic person in the story, having to deal with the cliche supervillain antics of her bosses Dr. Drakken and Vlad Plasmius certainly doesn't help.

* DeducingTheSecretIdentity: Kim, James, and Ann Possible are observant enough to deduce Danny's secret identity by realizing the physical similarities between both Dannys, Kim's parents noticed Danny Phantom showed up in Middleton and worked with Kim around the same time as Danny Fenton came, plus the boys have the same body type, hair style, and names. Even Kim's enemies notice a vague similarity between Danny and his ghost-half.

* DestructiveSavior: One night, Jack and Maddie missed a ghost and shot a two foot hole in a billboard that they need to pay off by taking Mr. Barkin and Bonnie as tenants.

** Danny, Tucker, and Dash have noticed Bonnie's beauty
* DudeWheresMyRespect?: Professor Dementor is outraged that Danny Phantom has never heard of him despite being the number one supervillain in the world (Kim claims it's more of a self-proclaimed title).

** The Terakon is an even more dangerous example when it's under the Faction's control since it easily decimates the upgraded Bebes and shrugs off all the heroes attacks, even Danny's Ghost Wail attack doesn't faze it.

** One thing Shego doesn't tolerate from Dr. Drakken is being clone by him so she puts in a "no cloning" clause in her contract.

** Kim makes it clear to Sam she doesn't approve of her spying on her and Danny while they're together but she'll keep this a secret from Danny since Sam is a good friend of his but she won't tolerate anymore eavesdropping from Sam.

** Barkin doesn't tolerate bullying and, while substituting as a gym teacher at Casper High, he protects Danny from Dash's harassment and then punishes the jocks by making them run laps.

* EvilIsSexy: In-universe example. Shego is considered a very attractive woman whilst having people be fully aware that she's a villain at the same time. Danny and Motor Ed certainly think she's this.

* {{Fanboy}}: Wade is a huge one of Danny Phantom, he even asks Kim to get him his autograph.

* FatalFlaw: For Vlad, it's his unbelievable ego as Danny lampshades, since he's too full of himself to learn from his mistakes or come up with a failsafe for his plans since he doesn't even consider that they could go badly, like with Pariah Dark or Vortex, and now the Terakon.
* FavorsForTheSexy: A Rare Downplayed Male Version. Danny convinces Bonnie Rockwaller to help him by using her infatuation for him to get her aid in exchange for dates or make-out sessions with him.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Members of "the Faction" [[TeethClenchedTeamwork have complicated relationships with each other]] but nobody even '''PRETENDS''' that they like Motor Ed and only let him join and stay for his mechanic knowledge.

* TheGentlemanOrTheScoundrel: Both Kim and Bonnie are drawn to the warmth and kindness of NiceGuy Danny Fenton (Gentleman) but utterly despise the stupidity, bullying, and immaturity of the BigJerkOnCampus Dash Baxter (Scoundrel).
* GirlyBruiser: The only thing Kim loves as much as fighting crime is trying the latest fashion at Club Banana

* GoldDigger: Bonnie's interest in Danny grows after finding out about his ambition for becoming an astronaut and superhero status. Subverted after she develops genuine feelings for his NiceGuy personality.
* GoodCounterpart: Brick Flagg is this to Dash Baxter. Both are blonde football players that had an interest in Kim but that's all they have in common. Brick is a LovableJock who gets along well with the main characters and supports Kim's relationship with Danny since he got over her when she turned him down. Dash, however, is a BigJerkOnCampus who bullies the main characters and harasses Kim after she rejects him, while all the main characters have nothing but disdain for him for being such a {{jerkass}}.

* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Gender-Inverted. Kim relies on close-quarter combat while Danny prefers to use HandBlasts.

* HatedbyAll: Nobody but the A-Listers can stand the JerkJock Dash Baxter and they only put up with him for his looks and athleticism. Kim and her friends instantly despise him for being an obnoxious bully, Team Phantom prefer to avoid him at all times, Lancer stops favoring him after he goes too far by trying to prank Kim with the cooler, and even Bonnie doesn't want anything to do with him for being an immature creep.

** Kim is very attractive, and most boys, including Danny, are drawn to her once they see her. Danny even fell back down in awe when he first bumped into her.
** Bonnie is also this as Danny, Tucker, and Dash find her attractive.
** Shego is a villainous version of both Danny and Motor Ed (much to her amusement in the latter and disgust in the latter finds her gorgeous.

* HomelessHero: Dani has been living on the streets to avoid Vlad and she can't stay with the Fentons since Vlad will easily find her with them and Danny can't tell his family about her because he wouldn't know how to explain who she is.

** Tucker tries to hit on Kim and Monique... with his usual results.

** Despite being a beautiful cheerleader and world famous teen hero, Kim never acts like she's better than anyone and just sees herself as a "basic, average girl".

** Dash and Paulina get the not-so-bright idea to humiliate Kim in public by trying to throw with a cooler full of grape juice at her in the gymnasium. Not only does it fail since Danny took the blow for her but Lancer punishes Dash (Paulina already fled thus leaving Dash to take all the heat).

* InconvenientAttraction: Danny finds Bonnie beautiful but has little tolerance for her unpleasant attitude and he prefers Kim because of his growing feelings for her while Bonnie is confused on why she's falling for a social misfit like Danny who is pining after her rival Kim Possible.
* InLovewithLooks:

** Sam genuinely wants to help Rufus but doesn't notice that he dislikes her for acting like a jerk to his best friend Ron by accusing him of being a bad owner to Rufus.

** Team Phantom point out to Danny he's never going to be with Shego because she's too evil and too old for him.
** While Sam is mainly spying on Kim and Danny's date out of jealousy, she is right when she tells Tucker that Kim is a supervillain magnet since she has a lot of enemies and no secret identity to protect herself so she and Danny can get attacked by her bad guys at any moment so she is justified in worrying about his safety regardless of him having powers since he's still their best friend. At one point, Kim's enemies do attack them while they're on a date and hold Danny hostage.

* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** Kim throws Dash onto a cafeteria table and later twists his arm in the principal's office when he tries to hit Danny during both those times.
** Kim gives Dash a black eye after he tries to throw a cooler's content onto her.
** Danny gets Bonnie's older sisters grounded by their mom by making them get into a food fight with each other.

** Danny gets Bonnie's older sisters grounded by their mom by making them get into a food fight with each other.

** Downplayed as Danny is still very attracted to Kim while she's infatuated with him due to being under the effects of Ember's love song but her aggressive flirting and increasingly clingy behavior disturbs him.

* NonActionBigBad: Unlike the other villains, Drakken isn't a fighter as he lacks powers and training so he relies on his Dragon Shego to handle any situations involving combat.

** Vlad hates Ron Stoppable because he considers him to be just as much of a buffoon as Jack Fenton.
** Danny just considers Professor Dementor a shorter Dr. Drakken with a funny accent but with no hot but evil henchwomen like Shego.

* OffendedByAnEnemysIndifference: Dash can't stand that Kim and Bonnie ignore him in favor of Danny.

** Danny helps out Bonnie by tricking her older sisters into starting a food fight with each other so their mom will punish them by grounding them and they'll have to leave Bonnie alone.
** Bonnie defends Danny from her older sisters' insults.

** Kim is always quick to defend Danny from Dash's bullying.

** After Kim forces Bonnie to stop blackmailing Danny, she forms a genuine friendship with him that makes her give up on wanting to make him date her and agrees to keep his identity a secret.

** Kim's parents support her relationship with Danny because they can see that he's a good boy.

** This also applies to Bonnie as she starts to develop feelings for Danny when he defends her from her mean older sisters' verbal abuse.

** Kim's parents may act oblivious but they're observant enough to figure out Danny's secret identity because they noticed Danny Phantom showed up in Middleton and worked with Kim around the same time as Danny Fenton came, plus they have the same body type, hair style, and names.

* StrongGirlSmartGuy: Gender-Inverted. Danny is a superhero with ghost powers and Kim is a straight-A student BadassNormal.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Lancer does have limits when it comes to favoring the A-Listers since he takes his teaching job seriously as he punishes Dash for trying to publicly hit Kim with a cooler full of grape juice in the gymnasium.
** Bonnie might be a shallow AlphaBitch GoldDigger but she DOES have standards when it comes to guys, so she doesn't waste any time rejecting Dash for bullying Nathan at the mall by throwing trash at him since it's too immature for her tastes.

* TokenSuper: Danny is the only one of the heroes with superpowers, courtesy of his ghostly abilities, because the rest are BadassNormals who rely on martial arts and gadgets for fighting villains.

** As gorgeous as Bonnie is, Danny refuses to date her for her AlphaBitch personality, blackmailing him about his secret identity sure didn't help. While he warms up to her a little when she softens up because of their growing friendship, he won't consider going out with her until he gets to know her better.

* UnexpectedKindess: Danny is caught by surprise when Bonnie shows up to defend him from Paulina's bullying.

* UnskilledButStrong: Kim is helping Danny overcome this by teaching him Kung-Fu, so he won't rely entirely on his ghost powers.
* UnrequitedLoveLastsForever: Bonnie is still in love with Danny even after they agree to only be friends but remains hopeful they can date since Danny said he might be willing to go out with her if he gets to know her better.

** Inverted. Danny regards Dr. Drakken as a better supervillain than Professor Dementor because he's more entertaining and he has a beautiful henchwoman like Shego, plus Dementor acts too much like a walking supervillain cliché given how predictable he is especially since he stole Drakken's Terakon idea by cloning his own. Dr. Drakken and Shego are actually flattered by this.

** Downplayed. Bonnie is an AlphaBitch rather than a supervillain, but she develops an attraction to Danny after he defends her from her verbally abusive sisters.

** Danny finds Paulina as almost as unappealing as her fellow Alpha Bitch Bonnie Rockwaller.

** While Danny admits Ember McLain is hot, he has no interest in her for her villainous career and obsession with taking over the world.
