@ectoberhaunt If Ecto Acne was also a term for when a ghost’s mortal disguise is beginning to break down and their ghostly traits begin to break out. Unfortunately for Spectra, she often experiences this when she doesn’t have enough energy. It’s not pretty😬

What do u think? I’d love to know💖

Bertrand

Lil' Butler | Blobby Bastard | Sketchy Doctor | Bertenstein

[dnpanimationstudioclone]

This fits her so well

slight Spectra redesign & a pinch of madeup background lore for her and Bertrand :)

(if my handwriting’s hard to read, it’s just that they ran a pyramid scheme together until they died sometime in the 70s)

[phantom-dc]

Do you have any weird headcannnons or theories? With all the stories you're pumping out there must be soemthing you thought of that cant be put in a story!

Wow! I wasn't expecting a question like that, but i suposse I have one theory that'll never make it's way into a story:

I don't think Bertand is a real ghost.

That is, not like the other ghosts like Ember or Skulker or even Spectra. Here's why:

Every ghost we see has it's own goals. They chase them to the point we started calling them Obsessions. And Bertrand seems to have one as well, at first. He claims that he wants him and Spectra to stay young and beautifull forever.

Here's the thing. Even though he can shapeshift, Bertrand never makes himself look young and beautifull. In fact, he seems to do the opposite.

I dont want to insult anyone's taste in men, but short, older and gray is not exactly a common beauty standard. If anything, he should've been a tall, young, muscled model. But he chose not to be that. His second disguise is even worse.

Sunken skin, bald and downright creepy, there is no way this would be the chosen form of a ghost that wanted youth and beauty. He could've made himself look like that giy from Grey's Anatomy or something. But he chose tje old creepy look. Why? I can think of only one reason:

To make Spectra look better.

Everything Bertrand does is to help Spectra. He makes himself look older, so Spectra looks younger in compare. He spies on Danny for her. He fight him for Spectra. And he never goes against her in any way.

Other ghosts work togheter, but they can have arguments, fights, falling outs. Ember ditched Youngblood after he lost his ship. Fright Knight betrayed Pariah Dark. Kitty and Johnny famously fight all the time. But not Bertrand and Spectra. But it's not because they are just such good friends.

Kitty makes Bertrand dissapear, stating it could be possibly forever. And after he is returned, what does Spectra do?

Complain that he didn't dissapear.

So why is Bertrand still with her? Why doesn't he just bail? I think it's because he can't. It's because they are tied togheter, with Spectra as his boss and him the servant, a thrall. He depends on her. So I think he is like Shadow and Youngblood's assistent, an extension of Spectra.

To Spectra, Bertrand is just a piece of herself that is usefull. But if he is destroyed, she'll just make a new one. Johnny let's Shadow hide. Youngblood talks to his assistent because he is his only playmate. Spectra chats with Bertrand because in her vanity a chat with herself is quite pleasant.

So in short: Bertrand isn't his own ghost. He is a thrall made by Spectra like Shadow.

That's my theory, and thanks for asking!

DP HC - Rebel Alliance

I don't understand hcs where literally all of Danny's enemies willingly follow his orders just because he's the king now.

You realize that rebellions exist, right?

Now, I can definitely see characters like Johnny, Kitty, Ember, Technus, Fright Night, Frostbite & his people, Pandora & her people, Dorathea & her people, Nocturn, Lunch Lady, Box Ghost, Box Lunch, Wulf, Poindexter, Amorpho, Desiree, & Youngblood following Danny's orders.

Possibly even Walker & his men provided it's the right au (Game Warden Walker AU, Grandpappy Walker AU, or even simply Walker conceding that since Danny now makes the rules, he follows Danny).

However, I CAN NOT see Skulker, Spectra, Bertrand, Aragon, Hotep Ra, Undergrowth, or Vortex ever following Danny. Ever.

For one, Skulker's entire goal is to skin Danny alive a/o mount his head on his wall. He is a literal poacher, not a hunter despite his claims as such, a poacher. And I don't subscribe to the idea that literally skinning a ghost is something that comes without complications to one's health or at least agonizing pain & a lot of painful recovery time. I refuse. It literally makes the whole thing a non-issue by making it so all Danny'd need to do to get Skulker off his back would be to just let him skin him & be done with it, which just cheapens the point.

Spectra was fully willing to literally kill Jazz in some twisted spectacle & use the misery generated from her death to fuel her youth like a homicidal narcissistic sociopath. I've also seen it postulated that she likely doesn't follow the yearly Christmas Truce & that the only reason that Walker isn't on her ass in the special is because Danny's actually the only one who knows about her new body as they possibly only know her by her shadowy form. Not to mention, there's no telling how many poor kids she's driven to suicide all for her beauty & youth. She also set up a way to infect kids with ghost powers in order to create a "perfect, unageing body" & didn't she say that if they weren't cured, then those kids would die? Am I misremembering that? I just don't see Danny EVER being okay with her.

Bertrand, the same as Spectra.

Danny literally helped to usurp Aragon's throne. If ANYONE were to be part of some rebel attempt to dethrone Danny, it'd be him.

As for Hotep Rah, he's already tried to usurp the throne from Tucker, this would be same shit, different person.

Undergrowth wishes to kill all human life & use them as fertilizer for his plants. Nuff said.

Vortex could not care less who dies in the pursuit of his art. He causes natural disasters because he wants to & said disasters result in countless deaths.

So, I absolutely think that at least the 7 ghosts listed would become part of a rebellion to get rid of the "beating-heart boyking."

I can also see quite a few ghosts he's never met rebelling against him specifically because either he's a child, a halfa & thus alive, or because they actually wanted Pariah to rule again.

Vlad would definitely be involved.

I just don't see the idea of everyone being okay with Danny being king & following his orders as... realistic considering what we know of their characters.

[ebonyheartnet]

Your tags mention Spectra vs Alfred, and I am all for this matchup. I hate her and want her to have a fair chance tho. With that in mind, I would like for the council to consider Pennyworth!Alfred as her opponent. If you—like myself—haven’t really watched it, here’s a good breakdown on the trauma he faced as a kid.

(Trigger warnings for EVERYTHING, but like, my brain is deep fried and can’t list them all atm ^^’)

I think Alfred needs his own prompt 👻(dp x dc)

Alfred had died.

(It was a bit of a waste of time— he'd been scheduled to get the boys to and from their suit fitting at this time. Now here he was; languishing. Murdered. Sulking, even.)

(How frivolous.)

As a busy man with children (an adult child) to care for, a house to maintain, and a budget to supervise, Alfred's main goal was to return to Earth, obviously. If he left Master Bruce in charge of the dusting, the man would absolutely let the unused parts of the house go into disrepair. Too impatient, his ex-ward was.

The only problem was that in this green, nebulous, and gravity-free afterlife, there seemed to be only one way out— navigating through the individual worlds that the denizens of this world have molded around themselves, until he finds a being willing to grant his wish to return.

Alfred sighed, checked for the pistol at his hip and the rifle on his back, and marched straight upwards. Or. Well. Downwards. Actually... Never mind.

DP X Infection AU: Mosquito Malignance [Malignance] *More art and info beneath the cut.

Recovered Written Fenton Files — Infection Dubbed "Malignance" Estimated Start Date: Two weeks prior Status: Ongoing Threat Level: Cocked Pistol The Doctor known as "Spectra" released a swarm of mosquitoes with tainted or corrupted ectoplasm upon the town of Amity Park, located in Illinois. All known cases of infection have been lethal and incurable insofar. The mosquitoes appear ghostly in nature, even outside of the corrupted ectoplasm, and have been documented intangibly entering a victim's skin rather than biting. Infection is immediate and the removal of tainted areas (such as via amputation) has proven ineffective at stopping the disease. The infection seems to mimic perceived 'ghostly abilities' and have been nicknamed 'ghosts.' It is assumed the disease was created by Dr. Penelope Spectra and her assistant, Bertrand, illegally within their home lab. It is spreading rapidly and no one has been able to approach the lab as Dr. Spectra and her assistant (both in late stages of the infection) are haunting the entrances.

Stage One: Patient will immediately feel weak and lightheaded. There is a chance of fainting. The area of skin the mosquito enters will begin to turn green, bumpy, and rubbery. Rather than any direct pain, pins and needles or 'static' will be felt in all affected areas. Brain fog begins. They are extremely contagious from the start, touching infected areas can spread it.

Stage Two: The green affected areas will spread quicker, making an obvious path towards the heart. A faint glow starts around these areas. Patient begins to loose cognizance, forgetting where they are and what is happening. The tend to focus on one thing and obsess about it. 'Obsessions' have been useful in keeping rowdier patients corralled. Teeth and fingernails have been observed to being lengthening. Intangibility of the affected areas happens on and off. Most have been observed to only have the skin turn intangible. Multiple cases have cropped up where a patient moves an extremity while the skin is intangible and have accidentally separated the skin from their muscle and bones. Several have exhibited red bleeding into their pupils. Patients begin to try and wander about. Some float inches off of the ground. They are still able to somewhat communicate at this stage. Stage Three: Patients loose all sense of self as the infection reaches the heart. There is no longer any ability to communicate with the affected outside of leading them to specific areas and distracted them with their 'Obsessions.' Distortions and decay begin in the extremities. There pupils begin to change size and shape, normally growing larger. Any noises made are guttural and interspersed with static. Mainly aggressive but distractions can keep them content. Some drool corrupted ectoplasm. It is recommended to not interact with any dropped fluids, they are still highly contagious. Any glow begins to brighten, tongue turns green. Stage Four: Patients begin to morph and decay at high speeds. Their bodies are attempting to twist into shapes that have to do, or seem to, with apparent Obsessions. They begin to only scream in what sounds like static at this stage. Green flesh can start to drop off and expose glowing bones. Some have new bones growing through their skin. Pupils have entirely taken up the eye and are red in color with large black irises. Stretching, twisting, and drooping can occur. Patient no longer looks human in appearance. Their skin is almost fully green. Some have the ability to turn invisible and are able to pass intangibly and invisibly into the bunkers of survivors. Stage Five: Patient is fully green, teeth sharp, and fingers into claws. Bone claws have become a common sight. Their eyes are either fully red or fully black in color. Green ectoplasm is constantly leaking from orifices and wounds— The file is cut off here with one last line at the end. "My son has been infected. I must do what I can do find a cure."

I was asked by a friend to try my take at a Danny Phantom Infection Au, since they hadn't seen one in the fandom yet and neither had I. I'm basing mine off of the episode "Doctor's Disorders" when those ghostly mosquitoes cause all of the highschoolers to gain a temporary ghostly illness. Except, in this it's not so temporary and the effects are much, much worse. Most of the show does not happen in this. The 'ghosts' are not the show ghosts but the term used for those in the late stages of the disease and stuck with ghostly figures, powers, obsessions, and a continuous need to spread. They can only be distracted by "obsessions" that the infected begin to ramble about in Stage Two. Danny is infected but his exposure to ectoplasm from a young age keeps him cognizant and docile until his mother is able to create a cure from Vlad Masters, a family friend who turns out to be immune due to an incident in their college years. This 'cure' only works on those exposed who have been exposed to ectoplasm in their lives before the apocalypse. Danny, upon receiving the cure, was able to keep the powers granted to him by his infection and uses this to be able to see where invisible ghosts are as well as stop them from approaching survivors just by being in the vicinity of them. A cure is able to be developed from him for normal people that have not been exposed to ectoplasm before. This only works for those in Stage One. When someone is cured, their hair turns white and their eyes turn the same green as the ectoplasm. These people are called "Halfas." So far, story wise, only three exist.

[vladdyissues]

Prepare some tea and pancakes because I'm gonna share with you my dp omegaverse au. Sorry for misprints, I try to fix them but always miss some of them.

1) Yes, halfas have ghost genders, too, because it's about a soul, not body. Dani? Well, she's too young yet, her personality isn't determinated

2) There are 3 ghost genders: alpha, omega and beta. Betas are the most part of ghosts (80%). As most people tgey exist to serve alphaa and omegas' wishes, ideas. Beta often doesn't even know what they really want or their desires are only a result of culture traditios. Examples: Bertrand, Technus, Bullet, Skulker*, Fright Knight (*hc that he is born ghost, so, he just want to survive being tge best hunter)

Alphas are the strongest gender (several alpha is stronger than several omega or beta). They dominate in a way people see it. They also barely doubt. They don't an appreciation but alphas often gather ghosts around themselves. As possible morpho feature is huge fangs. Examples: Young Blood, Pariah Dark, Danny* (at least we watched him developing as an alpha. Especially in season 3.)

Omegas dominates as well but through manipulations. This is why most omegas are demons (Desire, Ember, Spectra). They need appreciation, it's make omegas weaker. They make a cult from their persona or exist on their own. A possible morpho feature is fangs, too, but a bit smaller. One more example: Vlad.

3) Spirits is out of gender-party game (Clockwork, Valentine, Nocturn)

4) Instead of heat there's the vibrating period. (yea, sounds smutty, i know) It happens once in 4 years and lasts a month. This period is called from omegas' souls become extremely emotionally vulnerable and their core make vibrations that "vocals" all their deepest worries. Alphas of the same kind can apprehend vibrations and the scent of that omega (it's not sounds actually, they feel it by the whole body; more like snakes' bone conduction). This thoughts like a mantra sounds in alpha's mind, so, they try to help omega. Researchers-ghosts say that in the vibrating period increases the mating frequency.

An simple example of how it works on Pompous pep: Danny was 17 when oneday he started to hear in his head "Vlad needs you. He wants to get some love. You must be this one. He wants to love you and be loved by you. Vlad wants his happily ever after and vanilla family things with you. You know how much he's suffered from loneliness. What a hero would you unless you help him? At least one hug, a dinner, a kiss or just once have a..." Wherever or whever Danny is. This thought haunts him. The whole month.

And yes, omegas' emotions changes fast as a rollercoaster during the vibrating period. (sorry: they're purring. meow)

5) Fangs are for: a) mark your beta slaves; b) mark your omega (mate). Anyway, the mark means "you can't touch it, it's mine". It has the owner/mate's scent. Mated omega soul vibrations can't be apprehended by other alphas. Marks disappear after 4 years.

6) Betas lacks of gamets. Alphas and omegas are both isogamic. If they decide to make a child... they actually MAKE it. They form theur gamets and combine. Future parents watch for the egg, corrects the core from time to time. The eggs develops into the new ghost (halfa) after several months. But the child is still vulnerable. It can't survive without parents.

7) Sex? Well, ghosts can form genitals if they like too but it doesn't connect to mating or ghost born. It's like playing the ukulele. Do if you'd like to. However, I wouldn't say the same to halfas. They are half-humans after all.

That's all! Thanks for your attention and patience!

+ I forgot add to omegaverse au: Halfa born from alpha and omega can be connected to sex any way (e.g. the forming process starts a human way but after bones are ready the egg go out)

[lolottes]

What if love had chosen several ghosts to represent it? Dividing its power would allow its elected officials to more easily go under the PD's radar

Who do I suggest? Mainly Kitty, I'm not going to dwell on her character with respect to Jonny and Shadow, but she's not a fighter and the only time we see her use her abilities; it's a flying kiss sent that temporarily banishes the person who receives it, and what's more? It’s because it can be combined with the musical waves of embers

A rather funny proposition would be Bertrand who unconditionally loves Spectra despite not having his own strong identity to the point of being a powerful shapeshifter

Due to his unrelenting determination to keep his town safe, Danny is bestowed a green lantern ring. Which on one hand: Yay! He gets to explore space full time. But on the other hand: Ew! he's a space cop now.

He had to rectify this immediately or he would never hear the end of it from his ghost friends. Or his regular friends for that matter. Sayyy, it'd be a shame if he.... bent a few rules. Maybe even broke some of them every now and again. And it would surely be a tragedy if say.... random pranks started happening around Oa?

seinfeld bit featuring my friends bertrand and technus

[beatricebidelaire]

sorry for not shutting up about this. but if one interprets it from the angle of lost letters, mails lemony sent to beatrice never reaching beatrice (or at least, not soon enough) is the reason she thought he was dead (perhaps due to what dp printed, and not receiving letters from lemony to counter that) (though later she may have found out) and is the reason she stopped waiting and moved on and got married, if one views it as lemony's correspondences never reaching beatrice, which eventually led to her marriage to bertrand ...... letters never reaching the receiver which led to a marriage with someone else ............ jacques's letter never reaching jerome and he went on and marry esme .................... something about this parallel is that, jacques told lemony not to contact beatrice, jacques forbid lemony from contacting beatrice, by any means, like i'm not saying that jacques sabotaged the letter delivery and never delivered the letter to beatrice when he promised his brother he would, or something like that, that's too much of an assumption and not enough facts, so i'm not going to go with that, but just from a higher level, we do know J did not want L to contact B, this part we knew from J's own letter to L, so he could possibly be seen as indirectly contributing to this end result.

and then some time later (months or years or over a decade, take your pick) he sends his letter to jerome.

jerome does not receive the letter.

jerome marries esme.

[princess-of-the-corner]

Can’t remember if a reason in universe was given for Danny changing his suit in the Phantom Chloe AU, but I’m going to throw out this suggestion anyway:

The reason Danny changed his costume is because Disney threatened to sue him for ripping off the Fantastic Four.

Ha! On brand.

The in-universe reason, for both this and for my main DP fics, is mostly just because they probably can. Ghost seem to have some ability to change their appearance, at least having costume changes. Some have more shapeshifting powers (like the Dragon siblings or Bertrand or Amorpho), and some are locked into a form for other reasons(Spectra and Skulker). Also *gestures to Vlad who died in a 80s mullet and a lab coat but now looks like fuckin Dracula*.

So yeah Ghosts can alter their form a bit to match perception of themselves. Danny's original outfit was based off what he died wearing, but he learned to shift things so he can have a cooler outfit.

Danny Phantom Enemies Headcanons

This headcanon is gonna be about the many characters from the series Danny Phantom and see what their relationship with Team Phantom would be in the series ranging from: ally, neutral, and enemy. Now, it’s time for the enemys, enjoy. Allies here and neutrals here!

P.S. Sorry this took so long to due, real life comes before making headcanons. Enjoy!

Warning : Some character explanations will be super long, mentions of death, and other things rated PG-13.

Enemies:

Skulker - He was one of Team Phantom's first villains and was obsessed with hunting Danny for his pelt (GROSS!) and for being a Halfa. Skulker obviously doesn't care about who or what he hunts especially if a child or an endangered animal is his target. Once it's revealed that Danny isn't the only Halfa around (Not just Vlad and Dani) I can see him giving Danny 'the reason you suck speech' about how Danny is no longer special or worth his time hunting, which is a relief for Danny, but they'll still fight each other. Skulker may over time have a villian's respect towards Danny and Team Phantom, but will never admit it. I have a theory that the only reason he never hunted Vlad is because Vlad bribed him with endless weapons if Skulker never hunts him and Vlad pays Skulker to hunt things for him. On the scale of villiany in the show Skulker is #4 seeing as he hunts for sport and how he has been dangerously close to killing Danny and others.

Nicolai Technus - As much as Technus is a mad scientist type guy, he didn't really have the drive to be evil until Danny planted the idea. Once the idea came to mind Technus went through without hesitation, he could've changed his mind anytime. He defiantly embraced his villainous role by manipulating Danny and Valerie's emotions to like each other knowing that Valerie likes Danny Fenton and hates Danny Phantom (a bold move, I must admit). Ans in the bad timeline he teamed up with Skulker forming an even bigger baddie. So, yeah, he's an enemy.

Walker - For a guy who's a warden and expects everyone to follow the rules he's a hypocrite. He makes his own rules for others to follow, kidnap children, putting that shock collar on Wulf and almost putting it on Sam, and framed Danny and made him public enemy number one in his own town! If the series continued like a court episode revealing that it was Walker who attacked the ex-mayor and his police ghost possessed many citizens. Thus, clearing Danny's name and some high council in the Ghost Zone (not the Observants one, but like a lower division council that handles the different ghost jails and domains) remove Walker from his position as a warden and he is a prisoner of his own jail. He'll obviously blame Danny and Team Phantom and wants revenge.

Penelope Spectra & Bertrand- Oh my gosh, where do I begin with her? After the trauma she caused during her first episode she's #3 on my DP deadliest villains chart. Before she even set foot in Caper High, Spectra has gone through many different schools sucking the students' of their misery/energy to make herself and Bertrand stay young by lying and humiliating them, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if those poor kids ended up committing suicide because of her. Heck, she tried to kill the students of Casper High in 'Doctor's Disorder' and Jazz during the pep rally in front of everyone to create more misery. She made Danny utterly miserable, tried to turn Danny against Jazz, and tried to vaporize Jazz, and made Danny question himself as a Halfa by calling him a freak. As for Bertrand he's basically her lap dog and has no problems resulting in killing to get what he and his boss want. I think we all can agree that these two need to stay away from everyone, but mostly children.

The Guys in White - Let's face it: Amity Park hates these guys! Every episode that they're threatening citizens and ghost. They seem to have no problem with collateral damage seeing how that tried to kill Gregor/Elliot thinking he was the ghost boy and destroyed the observation station. Unlike the Fenton's who'll pay for the damages they caused, the Guys in White refuse to pay a penny and use the excuse that they work for the government. The worst thing they ever committed was them trying to blow up the Ghost Zone which would destroy our world too. Overtime they'll waste too much money on ghost catching equipment and the citizens of Amity Park will get sick of them causing the organization to disband. With only Agents K, O, and the leader guy still around trying to capture Danny or any other ghost.

The Other Ghost Hunters - After, their encounter with Danny Phantom they most likely felt humiliated, and it only fueled their hatred towards ghost. But seeing how popular Danny Phantom is in Amity Park doing anything against him is a big no-no. So I can see them waiting for Danny to screw-up so they can catch him.

Control Freak and Lydia - Seeing as Team Phantom have ruined his circus and plan to take over the world it's a given that he's an enemy. He probably spent years going to every town with his circus stealing from banks, museums, and jewelry stores only to be stopped by a couple of teens would make anybody vengeful. I doubt he remembers that Phantom and Fenton are the same person after Danny erased everyone's memory, but he does remember the events. Seeing as Lydia and Control Freak are a couple she seems cool with whatever evil scheme he comes up with. I believe the two were dating before her death.

Prince Aragon - Let's see arrogant, was willing to marry a child (I'm aware that was a practice back then, but today absolutely not!), kept his kingdom imprisoned in time for hundreds of years, and was abusive towards his sister. I see him having more of a vendetta over Dora and Sam than Danny.

Hotep Ra - Was a backstabbing advisor who tried to takeover world.

Vortex , Undergrowth, Nocturn - All three are powerful elemental: weather (Vortex), earth (Undergrowth), and dreams (Nocturn) that connect not just the human world but the ghost world as well. In each of their appearance all three were able to takeout Amity Park in a short amount of time and gave Team Phantom a run for their money, until they learned a new skill to defeat them. Seeing how the Observants had Vortex on trial it's obvious he is super powerful! I wish there was a special episode where all three combined like Skulltech 9.9 to see what kind of damage they could do.

Pariah Dark - Guy was a tyrant king who ruled with an iron fist and was so powerful that a group of ancient ghosts had to imprison him in the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep to stop his reign of terror. He doesn't care if you're human, ghost, or halfa in his eyes he's above all. The guy transported Amity Park into the Ghost Zone and lead an army that could've destroy everyone and the world! Heck, Skulker didn't want to confront him, SKULKER, that really says something! Hopefully, no one will be stupid enough to wake him up again.

Dan Phantom/ Dark Danny - He has no humanity in him, destroyed most of Amity Park (and most of the world), committed two thousand evil deeds, and even tried to kill his family and friends. Dan Phantom has no redeeming qualities and seeing how the observants couldn't take him out without Clockworks assistance shows how powerful he is. Inever believed Danny's ghost side was bad; Danny is Danny whether he's Phantom of Fenton. I believe the guilt and stress of losing everyone he loved and the fusion with Vlad was what form Dan Phantom. Heck! If it were reversed and Danny killed his ghost half, he would've been Dan Fenton human serial killer. For everyone's sake he needs to stay in the Fenton Thermos forever!

Master's Blasters - Okay, we all know season three and the last episode were to put it lightly -something. But I have to ask: where did Vlad find these guys? I mean honestly, a trio of ghost hunters pop out of nowhere, are better hunters than Valerie and Danny, the second they arrive Amity Park just eats them up and are willing to pay for being saved despite how they feel about the GIW, seriously? If it weren't for the cancelation, I would've built them up that Vlad staged their hunting/ rescues to make them look better than Phantom. As Danny slowly doubts himself as a hero the Master Blasters start charging for the rescues. At this point of time Phantom and Red huntress are nowhere to be found so the citizens of Amity Park have no choice, but to pay. Skip forward to the ending (minus Danny and Vlad revealed to be halfas) where the Fentons, Phantom, and Red Huntress team up to protect Amity Park from both ghost and human threats it's revealed that Master's Blasters aren't as good as they appeared without Vlad's trickery. They most like vow revenge on Team Phantom and try to outdo them only to fall flat.

Vlad Masters/ Plasmius - Where to begin with, Vlad? Oh, wait, I know! Vlad had this whole scheme to keep Maddie to himself, make Danny and Jazz see him as their father, created clones to make a new family, take over Amity Park, and tried to kill/humiliate Jack on a number of occasions. Even in the alternate timeline when he finally marries Maddie he is crazy controlling of her. He's doomed Amity Park/ the world numerous times for power, attempted to kill Danny, Jazz, Sam, Tucker, and Dani who are children (would've killed Valerie too if he knew about her finding out his secret), has tried to discredit Danny, taken over Amity Park via cheating, used his ghost powers to gain his wealthy, the list goes on. Vlad does seem to have some regret which is something most of the villains of the show don't seem to grasp. His older self in 'The Ultimate Enemy' realized the error of his ways and helped Danny return to his timeline (Vlad did state that he could've killed Danny instead but choose to do the right thing). And judging from the end of 'Phantom Planet' and the cover of the book ' A Glitch in Time' he seemed remorseful. He's done many things that have endangered both ghost and human life just to mess with Team Phantom, only time can tell if he deserves redemption.
