History Recap / DeathBattleS07E09DannyPhantomVsAmericanDragonJakeLong

'''Wiz:''' Danny Phantom, Amity Park's half-human half-ghost superhero.\\
'''Boomstick:''' And Jake Long, the hip American Dragon of New York City.

The first of these teen heroes covered in the episode is one Danny Phantom, or, going by his civilian identity, Daniel Fenton. As a 14-year-old in the urban expanse of Amity Park, Danny's life was much the same as any teen, with responsibilites at school and a healthy social life to his name. The only real distinction is that Jack and Maddie, Danny's parents, had a deep fixation with studying, hunting, and dissecting ghosts. The Fenton household was rife with their inventions, the crown jewel being their ghost portal tied to an another dimension rife with malevolent specters. Upon what was meant to be the portal's inaugural opening, only failure awaited the Fentons; despondent, Danny's parents gave up, leaving him to investigate it alone. Roaming through the machine's interior, Danny accidentally activated the portal. In the ensuing surge of ectoplasm, the energy emanating from the portal both permanently bonded with Danny's DNA and gave the apparitions within the ghost zone a means to escape. The Amity Park teen was quick to embrace his newfound powers and quicker to realize the threat posed by the spirits unleashed upon the living world. With otherworldly ghostly power at his disposal, he made it his role to protect the city from these ghosts, operating under the none-too-original alias of Danny Phantom.

The phantom touches down just in time for Jake to continue slashing at him, ectoplasm spraying out of Danny with every swipe of the dragon's claws. With a final breath of flame, the draconic hero launches his foe backward. This, in turn, gives the teenaged apparition enough time to retreat, turning invisible as Jake closes the distance. With Danny nowhere in sight, Jake calls upon the Eye of the Dragon to aid him. Even with the golden aura around his eyes, Jake remains unaware of the mummy creeping up on him from behind until the last minute. He plunges his claws into the mummy and soars out the museum, Danny firmly in tow. A swift punch, however, proves enough to break the dragon's hold on Danny. The American Dragon sees his left arm has been encased in ice, but can afford no time to deal with the situation; a cryogenic volley is incoming. Swerving around the frigid blast, Jake musters the strength to tear his arm free from the ice just in time to return Danny's hook with a punch of his own. The distance between the two is enough for Long to expel another stream of flame; this Danny meets with another ice ray.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Pretty much everyone from the hosts to the fighters gets at least one bad pun. Even Boomstick, ''of all people'', [[LamePunReaction expresses disappointment]] at Wiz's poor pun attempt.

* ProductPlacement: When Danny uses his Ghostly Wail to blow Jake away, the dragon crashes through a billboard with an advertisement for ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlue Red vs. Blue Zero]]'' on it.

There's a thin line between the natural and the supernatural, and for some reason, the weirdest of powers keep showing up in teens.
