Ghost Physiology: As Dark Danny is a fusion of Danny's and Vlad's ghost halves, he is a full ghost and has all of Danny's and Vlad's powers, as well as completely new abilities that he devised on his own. He is shown to be more powerful than Vlad Plasmius and possibly all of Danny's other powerful foes. Out of all of Danny's villains, Dark Danny was the one who came closest to defeating him (not just physically but psychological too), and was only stopped because of Danny's Ghostly Wail. After fusing with Clockwork, Dark Danny became even more powerful where his flames and ghost rays became blue and threw an empowered Danny like a ragdoll, break out of Danny's cryokinesis and take on several attacks from the combined efforts of Team Phantom; even Danny's ice attacks, Ghostly Wail, and dropping a huge building on him was only able to slow him down.
Ghost Sense: Like his younger counterpart, Dark Danny can sense both nearby ghosts and half-ghosts, though his ghost sense is red instead of blue. When his ghost sense is activated, red wisps of mist come out from his nose. The reason why he still has this power is that the Ghost Sense was originally a power that only Danny possesses and kept that power after melding with Vlad.
Supernatural Strength: He is far stronger than Danny or Vlad. He was able to sweep aside a person who had trained against him for years with a single punch, as well as easily lift and throw army tanks, which each weigh around 70 to 80 tons or more. He is the only ghost who is strong enough to rip off the Specter Deflector, which normally harms ghosts and needs a key to unlock.
Supernatural Durability: Dark Danny is more resistant to injuries or damage than an ordinary human or ghost. He can withstand a variety of great impacts without taking any damage, such energy blasts, oil truck explosions, two of Danny's Ghostly Wails, and multi-story buildings crumbling down at ground zero. Dark Danny is the only ghost whose powers cannot be weakened by any anti-ghost technology or power like the Fenton Specter Deflector or Skulktech's Phantom Palm Pummeler.
Healing Factor: As with his younger counterpart, he can heal from even life-threatening wounds, and is able to survive and withstand any injury that befalls him. Dark Danny has been seen healing in tough battles with Valerie.
Supernatural Stamina, Speed, Agility, & Reflexes: Dark Danny's ghostly physiology allows him to be faster, agile, and have greater reflexes than Danny and Vlad. He can also produce almost no fatigue toxins during physical activity. As he is a full ghost, he can physically exert himself at peak capacity longer than his young counterpart, possibly even for days, before fatigue begins to impair him. Dark Danny is also possibly faster than either Vlad or Danny, who both are much faster than regular ghosts.
Intangibility,Invisibility,Flight, &Overshadowing: Standard ghost powers. He can fly faster than Danny and Vlad. During his last fight with Valerie, he was able to make a sudden dash of speed that can take his enemy unguarded. Dark Danny's invisible duplicate can turn intangible to move through solid objects, but anti-ghost weapons can hurt him while intangible. When he spotted Jazz during the C.A.T., he created an invisible duplicate to take care of her.
Intangibility Fusion: Dark Danny can use his intangibility to fuse an object inside someone in order to make it unreachable and untouchable, such as when he fused one of the time medallions into Danny. He can also use his overshadowing to fuse himself with other ghosts, having combined with Vlad's ghost half this way. However, when he attempted to merge with Clockwork in A Glitch in Time, it revealed that it is possible for the other ghost resist the fusion, resulting in the combined form being extremely unstable.
Ecto-Energy Manipulation:
Ecto-Storms Creation: Before his final battle with Danny, Dark Danny created some kind of storm in the background.
Ghost Ray: Dark Danny can fire powerful ghost rays. Like his younger counterpart, his blasts are composed of green and white ectoplasm. Even without using his full power, Dark Danny can blow apart a good portion of a multi-story building. He can also fire ghost rays in the form of powerful sliding waves of ecto-energy capable of knocking Valerie several feet away. Strangely, Dark Danny, who is Danny's most powerful enemy (with the possible exception of Pariah Dark) fires green colored rays, although he could possibly not be using all of his power, so it presumably his ghost rays can be fired in other colors like Vlad.
Energy Strike: Like Danny and Vlad, Dark Danny can channel his ghost energy into his fist for a powerful blow.
Ghost Stinger: Dark Danny used this electric attack to instantly drain Danny of his power, forcing him to turn back to his human form. He may also use it to knock out normal humans as he did with Jazz.
Ecto-Energy Constructions: Dark Danny has formed objects such as binds and ropes out of ecto-energy. He creates Exto-Energy Rope to bind Danny and another one during their final battle. He shot ectoplasmic goo from his fingertips in order to bind his foes and gag people.
Ghostly Wail: A unique power only possessed by Danny and Dark Danny, Dark Danny can generate an extremely powerful sonic scream, with a moaning ghost-like sound. This power is so strong that it causes terrible pain to ghosts and damage tangible matter, caused an earthquake, and destroyed the ghost shield protecting the future Amity Park, which had withstood all his other powerful attacks until then, with just one use of his Ghostly Wail. He used it a second time to blow away a whole army of tanks and helicopters, crumbling buildings, and shattering glass with this power. He later uses it against Sam and Tucker, but they escape by using Clockwork's time medallions to return to their time. At one point he used this to destroy Ember's vocal cords. This is Dark Danny's most powerful attack, and he can use it more than once without losing energy. This power took ten years for Dark Danny to develop.
Sleep Inducement: In ''The Ultimate Enemy,'' Dark Danny used this power twice when he blasted Jazz with his Ghost Rays and knocked her out until she woke up the next morning. Later on Dark Danny used his Ghost Stinger to knock out Jazz again and she didn't wake up until a few hours she got to the Nasty Burger. Dark Danny seemed to channel this power into his ghost ray and stinger, instead of using mist like Undergrowth, Nocturn, and Sleepwalkers.
Telekinesis: Visible in the form of green energy emanating from his hands and surrounding the subject of the telekinesis. He can use his telekinesis to render his enemies immobile.
Pyrokinesis: He can create powerful torrents of green ghost fire that can break through the ground. Furthermore, his hair is made of white fire, (the hottest fire known to man) a ghostly flames that can ignite flammable objects. It is possible that he controls whether his ponytail is stationary or flaming, as it is sometimes motionless like normal hair.
Ghost Portal Creation: Unlike Danny or Vlad, Dark Danny can create his own ghost portals between Earth and the Ghost Zone by merely waving his hand. He can travel between the two worlds or get rid of his foe by restricting their movements and tossing them inside, closing the portal behind them. Dark Danny could possibly close portals that aren't his and he said the only remain portal was Vlad's indicating he destroyed every natural and artificial portal to the Ghost Zone and Human world but he was unable to destroy Vlad's portal because it was hidden underground in the human world and the other side was hidden in the Ghost Zone.
Technopathy: He managed to hijack future Valerie's communicator frequency when she was inside a ghost shield and he was outside of it.
Chronokinesis: With the Time Medallion, Dark Danny was able to manipulate time just like Clockwork. After fusing with Clockwork these time abilities increased to a greater scale allowing him to freeze Danny in time with a snap of his fingers. When Vlad tried to free Danny, he ended up being shocked.
Chronolock: Dark Danny exists outside of time, due to the events leading to his creation being averted and erased from history.
Time Travel: With the Time Medallion, Dark Danny is able to move through time and space into the past or future. He travels back in time to secured his future but if he took off the medallion he would be sent back to his erased timeline.
Spectral Body Manipulation: Dark Danny can easily stretch his body or create holes in it, as well as turn his head around 180 degrees. Dark Danny can also momentarily become an ectoplasmic vapor to pass through objects that could harm him even when intangible (such as Valerie's ghost hunting gear).
Shapeshifting: Dark Danny can assume the appearance of his former human self, as a disguise, despite no longer being a half-ghost. It is unknown if he can take any other form or not, along with gaining some powers. While impersonating his younger self, Dark Danny also alter his voice to sound like Danny which his eyes turned red instead of their usual green.
Duplication: Dark Danny can easily create several duplicates of himself. These duplicates can be invisible when made. He is possibly skilled as Vlad is with this power, as he often uses his proficiency in duplication as a powerful advantage against an enemy.
Master Strategist: Like Vlad, he is very cunning and devious. He manage to stay one step ahead of both his targets and Danny at every turn. He also displays to be great in manipulating his family, friends, and teacher into thinking he was the real Danny until Jazz exposed him in front of them at the Nasty Burger. If Clockwork hadn't interfered, he would have succeeded in making Danny turn into him. It highly possible that Dan planned to exist outside of time by fusing the time medallion into his body if he lost, to pave the way for his revenge.
Experienced Combatant: Dark Danny is considerably skilled in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts, as his powers enable him to execute punches and kicks with superhuman force against his opponents. He inherited this ability from both Danny and Vlad, making him an even more deadly fighter than either of them were. He also presumably inherited their Swordsmanship skills.
Equipment[]
Clockwork's Time Medallion: Dark Danny used one of Clockwork's Time Medallions to travel through time to make sure nothing changes his past. With the medallion, he can get where and when he needs to be.

Weaknesses[]
Fenton Thermos: Because of being a full ghost, Dark Danny is susceptible to the device and was easily sucked in by his younger counterpart Danny in a weakened state. However, he was seen trying to burst out of it, implying it may not be able to hold him forever. However, being inside of it also made Dark Danny was immune to the changes in the timeline, which would have otherwise erased him. It should also be noted that if he was at full strength he wouldn't have been easily sucked in. In fact, when Valerie attempted to suck him into her own thermos at point-blank range, not only did it not work but Dark Danny's power was so overwhelming that it actually caused the device the glitch out.
Dependence on Present-Time Danny (formerly): Even though Danny was Dark Danny's greatest threat, Dark Danny had to ensure Danny's survival, otherwise Dark Danny would disappear. Because of this, Dark Danny could not outright kill Danny. Now that Dark Danny exists out of his timeline, this weakness presumably no longer affects him.
Lack of Empathy: When Danny's ghost half merged with Vlad's, Vlad's ghost nature didn't just empower Dark Danny to become more powerful, but it also made him lose all of his human element he once had. While Vlad had displayed this many times with Maddie, Dark Danny is even worse because he doesn't feel love or a single emotion for anyone he hurts. This is proven his undoing as he didn't predict his younger self unlocking his Ghostly Wail, which took 10 years for him to unlock. Due to the Ghostly Wail being unlocked by pure anger it possible that Dark Danny didn't really account the nature for this power.
Outside of Time: In A Glitch in Time it is revealed that, due to his timeline having been erased, Dark Danny is only able to exist inside of Clockwork's domain. As a result, he is forced to overshadow others in order to maintain his existence outside of it; including: Clockwork, Vlad, and a clone of Danny.
