A human with a ghost formed around his entire being. Probably barely, but he did, and as such he is now a ghost/human hybrid. As such, Danny was able to survive being blasted with the entirety of the ghost zone at once. The Fentons have likely built up some resistance to ectoplasm, or already have some of it in their DNA to begin with. Jack and Maddie have messed around with the stuff for at least 20 years. (Elmer Fudd’s words, but still sensible enough to go with.)ĭanny and Jazz were probably exposed to ectoplasm when they were in the womb. That would explain why Danny’s clones are unstable without the mid-morph sample, and why, apparently, Sam and Tucker would have died in the ghost portal. Clearly, ectoplasm is dangerous, and it probably doesn’t mix well with human DNA. Jack and Maddie are the world’s leading ghost experts, and even they’d never actually seen a ghost before the start of the show. However, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of information about ghosts and ectoplasm. It can spread quickly and easily, and there are plenty of ghosts that have powers specifically related to infecting things and people with ectoplasm, such as Desiree’s spells. What’s more, the ecto-acne even returns later in life and almost kills him.īased on all that, I’d say that ectoplasm is likely very infectious. Vlad was blasted with a contaminated ghost portal, and he spent years in the hospital recovering. Particularly in the last two cases, gaining ghost powers is related to a ghostly illness. Other instances include Desiree’s wish granting (not just including Tucker, since all of her wishes result in some sort of ghostly entity being left behind), Spectra’s ghost mosquitoes that spread a ghostly disease (one that’ll burn them out and leave them as nothing but withered husks), and, of course, Vlad. This seems to be even more thorough in the case of overshadowing, where humans can fly around quite easily, but can’t pass through ghost shields anymore. There’s when a ghost comes in contact with them and shares their powers (specifically intangibility, invisibility, and possibly flight). In what other instances have humans been able to have ghost powers? So, I started thinking about it another way. There wouldn’t be anything to separate there, either. Danny in ghost form would be completely a ghost, and Danny in human form would be completely human. I think switching between dead and alive would have the same result. There wouldn’t be anything to remove or leave behind, because he’d just be a ghost. He’d still be completely ghost, just with powers that masked him so well that the ghost shield couldn’t stop him. If he was a ghost that could disguise himself as human, it likely wouldn’t work at all. If Danny was a corpse possessed by a ghost, using the ghost catcher would’ve left behind just that. Given by Desiree were removed cleanly and Tucker went right back to In both those instances, there were no traces left. To remove Tucker’s ghost powers and Technus from the house, In What You Want and later in Identity Crisis, the Ghost Catcher is used It’s not a clean break, since neither of these two have the original Danny’s personality, but it shows that the ghost part can be separated from the human part safely, leaving both halves intact aside from, y’know…a bit of identity crisis. Personally, I don’t think any of those are right, because by those definitions, Danny’s human half and ghost half shouldn’t be able to exist without each other.ĭanny’s ghost form can be expunged with the Fenton Ghost Catcher. Half dead? What does that mean? Died between worlds, so a corpse possessed by his own spirit? A ghost with the ability to disguise himself as a human? Can he just switch back and forth between being dead and alive? There are a lot of theories and rewrites and things speculating about what Danny really is. Jack and Maddie had never seen a ghost, and in Doctor’s Disorders, they clearly say that “humans can’t have ghost powers.” Danny’s pretty much unique. One of the questions that was never really addressed in the show completely is “what exactly is Danny?” They call him half ghost, but that term was invented by a bunch of 14-year-olds. Sooooo…let’s get to one of the meatier posts I’ve been wanting to do! I was considering waiting for My Brother’s Keeper to do this one, but establishing it from the beginning seems like a better idea.
