As with Hartman's other popular show, The Fairly OddParents!, the music for Danny Phantom was written by Guy Moon. Most of the stories were written by Steve Marmel, with input from Mark Banker, Butch Hartman, Marty Isenberg, and Sib Ventress. However, Hartman later thought it would be cooler if the boy was a ghost with superpowers, and shortened his concept's name to Danny Phantom.įor the character designs, Hartman had help from veteran character designer Stephen Silver. His original idea for the show was called Danny Phantom and the Specter Detectors, which was about a teenage boy and his friends who would use gadgets to hunt ghosts. In February 2001, Butch Hartman found out that Nickelodeon was looking for a boys' animated action show, and developed the concept for Danny Phantom. Over time, Danny becomes more confident both as a superhero and as a teenager. Throughout it all, Danny slowly realizes his own potential and his purpose, while both worlds, the Ghost Zone and Earth, begin to accept him as their defender. He also faces enemies from Earth, such as vengeful ghost hunter Valerie Gray, rival half-ghost Vlad Masters, and even his own ghost-hunting parents. Throughout his adventures, Danny faces a variety of ghostly enemies from the Ghost Zone. Danny's best friends, technophile Tucker Foley and Goth-minded Sam Manson, support Danny and help him in his adventures. Danny struggles to learn to control these powers, but when ghosts start coming out of the newly-activated ghost portal, Danny realizes that he can use his powers to protect his town from the evil ghosts coming out of the portal.

This transforms him into a half-ghost, half-human hybrid, and gives him an array of ghostly powers like the ability to walk through walls, turn invisible, and fly. He wanders inside his parents' ghost portal and accidentally triggers its activation, infusing his DNA with ectoplasm. He lives with his eccentric ghost-hunting parents, Jack and Maddie, and his overbearing older sister, Jazz. Danny Phantom centers on the life and adventures of 14-year-old Danny Fenton, an unpopular 9th-grade boy attending Casper High.
