Danny's Powers
Initial number= first appearance
*= one of Danny's main powers
Intangibility*- (1) Danny can pass through walls and other solid objects. He can extend this ability to others and objects though it is unclear how difficult this is. However, it is clear that activating this power takes some time and concentration to activate. It can be partially activated and allows Danny to still grab objects. There is also evidence that Intangibility is not a foolproof power since certain attacks can still do damage. Notable is the incident during TUE where things sticks to Danny while Intangible.
Invisibility*- (1) Danny can turn Invisible to both ghosts and humans. There is no evidence that invisible ghost can see other invisible ghosts. It can be applied to both humans and objects. While invisible Danny moves as if he can see his own body so it is reasonable to conclude that if he was touching Sam or Tucker they would be able to see him since Danny is the one turning them invisible. Danny would likely still show up on the Fenton Finder or other ghost sensing equipment while invisible and while I cannot think of an example, it would be probable that invisible ghosts would activate his ghost sense.
Flight*- (1) Danny has the ability to fly. However, as the series progresses it becomes likely that this is a byproduct of the more general power of defying gravity. Other effects include- walking on walls (12), floating at odd angles, and ability to fly in space (32). It is unclear if pushing off of the ground conveys any advantage or if law of inertia applies. Danny can fly at 112 mph (16). It is notable that Danny's legs sometimes become a tail during flight.
General Durability- (1) Danny shows impressive durability during all episodes. Whether this is just a result of DP being a children's show is up for debate. However, during the series Danny never ends up with a broken bone or any signs of a concussion. While in Human form he bleeds red and in Ghost form he bleeds green. Injuries seem to transfer but strong regenerative capabilities can be inferred (38). Danny does not need air in Ghost form (39). He is also space proof (32) though he uses a helmet, likely to allow speech. Cold does not affect Danny and I do not know if heat does. He may be resistant to drugs going by the knockout gas Bertrand exposed him to. Also worth mentioning here is Danny's natural resistance to both Ember's song, and the ghost mosquitoes. It seems likely that for certain things (overshadowing, spells) Danny's opponent must be stronger than him to be successful or make use of surprise to even the odds. This would have interesting applications for Ember, Desiree, and the one incident with Vlad (41). Notable that Danny possesses a skeleton while in Ghost form (40) (as does Bullet).
Ghost Sense*- (1) When a ghost is nearby Danny exhales a blues cloud. This is attributed by Frostbite to his Ice powers and therefore probably cold. This cold breath chills the surrounding air causing it to condense creating the visible blue cloud. The range of Danny's ghost sense is unknown. Also unknown is whether Vlad possesses a ghost sense.
Speed- (1) Danny seems faster in Ghost form. This may be a byproduct of his defiance of gravity. Whether this has any effect on his running speed is up for debate.
Coordination- (1) Danny seems coordinated in Ghost form though it is never stated that he isn't in Human form or that he wasn't before the accident. His reputation as a klutz only begins when he gets his powers.
Contortion- (1) Danny can contort his body into impossible shapes and opens holes in himself. He can also fit into tight spaces like the Crammer and Thermos. It might be possible for him to learn how to do this willingly going by the one time he turned to blue smoke (2).
Combat- (1) Even in the first episode Danny shows some knowledge of fighting. Considering his mother is a 9th degree black belt and he has been a frequent victim of bullying it is very likely that he took some classes during the summers of his youth.
Overshadowing*- (2) Danny can take control of other people and animals. In general, people cannot fight overshadowing with Jack Fenton being the notable exception. (Danny and Vlad do not count since they are not fully human) Persons who are overshadowed can be detectable by Danny's ghost sense (14) and the ghosts are capable of using at least the following powers: flight, durability, and intangibility. It is notable that the overshadowed are unable to pass a ghost shield. After effects include: memory loss, fainting, disorientation, and subliminal messages. Signs of overshadowing include: differently colored eyes and voice, though it is possible to repress these. This ability has the offshoots of allowing Danny to enter video games (12), possessing inanimate objects (15), and going into dreams (49).
Strength- (2) Danny is extremely strong in Ghost form. Not only can he throw a ghost dragon, but he can lift a school bus and carry all of the adults of the town with the rescue party. It is unknown if this transfers to his Human side.
