Danny meets his evil opposite in Vlad Plasmius, a childhood friend of his ghost hunting dad, Jack.

  • Introducing Vlad Masters Plasmius,My Favorite character on the show!

    "Superb"

    The one episode where Vlad comes in! Next to Phantom(Dark Danny),He is my favorite character of the whole series. Where do I start?

    Unlike other villians,Vlad knew who Danny is at the very beggining when he met him. Other villians don't know much about him expect seeing him as a threat to their goals that they simply want to dispose of. Vlad is the opposite. He doesn't want to destroy him,no,he sees Danny as a starting pawn that he can turn into a queen piece,not literally,but someone who can be his queen in the game of chess. He sees Danny as the son that should have been his,and this episode just started my love for Danny/Vlad Father/Son stuff,and the Idea of a "Daniel Masters" is very appealing to me. Once I read a drabble on fanfiction.net (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2090155/1/ ) I've been completley in love with this relationship. Ahh,I just love how much fatherly affection Vlad has for Danny("Sweet dreams,little badger"),and is like a great prieview for Danny's "Arc Of Darkness"(As classified by Neo Yi on Casperhigh.net,a Danny Phantom Info site)Which sadly ends sometime,but will always remain in my memory and I will always love it.

    Now to the episode. The main reason I like it so much is because it introduces my favorite character,Vlad Masters/Plasmius. But this has lots of good moments. I especially loved the scene where Vlad shows his fatherly affection for Danny: One where Vlad calls Danny "Little Badger",it was jsut so affectionaite,and where Vlad calls him "Son". It proves that Vlad thinks of Danny as the Son that should have been his, and I love how he keeps pointing out that they're more similiar then they both know.moreless

    OMG, this episode has 'awesome' and 'exciting' written all over it! Flashbacks, tension, reunion, fighting, secrets, family loyalty- PHANTASTIC! It's totally ironic that Danny got in trouble for saving his dad's life- and even stranger that Jack unknowingly sent him to the guy who put both their lives on the line! I loved how Vlad had already heard of Danny! Danny must be famous in the ghost zone.

    "Danny Phantom, right?"

    "You...you know me?"

    "Of course I know you! You're the ghost boy who uses his powers for good!"

    I also loved how Danny seemed to somewhat trust/admire Vlad at the beginning, but remained loyal to Jack at the end. And how he cheered his dad up on the way back. Aw! :D And it was also cool how Vlad both fought Danny and wanted him to join him. He called Danny "son" three times this eppy! He was still too harsh on DP, but I'm glad Danny beat his ghost minions up and got to later get Vlad back in TOT. Awesome episode!moreless

    Every hero needs a villan and Vlad takes that position quite nicely. Cunning,manupilative,and powerful Vlad becomes Danny's first real challenge as a villian.Another good qualtiy episode I would say we meet Vlad for the first time and what makes him special is...He's a halfa just like Danny! There were some good jokes in here and had a good plot. Vlad's character is also intresting he's a man with a grude and a secret love *cough*Maddie*cough*. Danny's gonna be facing some real problems from Vlad since Vlad is now set on acquiring Danny as his apprentience.moreless

    I absolutely loved this episode!!!!! Everyone knows that my favorite villain is Vlad and that I love every episode that he is in. After I watched this episode, I became obsessed with Danny Phantom. Vlad is the first ghost/human Jack accidentally created by Jack. He is also the first ghost to ever defeat Danny in battle. The only thing that disturbed me most about this episode is the fact that Vlad wants to marry Maddie and he wants to win Danny's affection and raise him as his own son and teach him all he knows about his ghost powers. I can't wait to see other episodes with Vlad in them; they're awesome!!!moreless

Trivia, Notes, Quotes and Allusions

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Why didn't Danny figure out the truth about Vlad being a ghost hybrid too before he revealed himself to him? Shouldn't he have realized that Vlad's accident was similar to his own when Jack told him about it? Edit
    • If Jack could resist Vlad's hold on him, then why couldn't he resist Danny in "Parental Bonding"? Vlad has 20 years of experience, so shouldn't it be the other way around? Edit
    • If Skulker's ectoskeleton was destroyed in "One of a Kind", then why is the PDA attached to his new armor? Did he repair his old one? Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • Danny being shown that he can control Jack with no problem while Jack resisted Vlad could be a sign that Danny's ghostly potential is greater than Vlad's or it's possible that Danny didn't have trouble because he had Jack do something that he subconsciously wasn't against (i.e saving Maddie). Edit
    • This is the first Danny Phantom episode in which Sam and Tucker play absolutely no part. Edit
    • Look Hard: When the Fenton Ghost RV is pulling up into Vlad's driveway, you can see the "Welcome to Wisconsin" sign in the far bottom left corner from the upcoming episode, "The Million Dollar Ghost." Edit

    ADD QUOTES
    • Danny: (after arriving late at home) Oh, poop. (The vulture drops the feces on Danny's head) Edit
    • Danny: Finally! One day where I get home on time without any ghost detours making me miss my ten o' clock curfew! (Ghost sense goes off and he spots the ghost vultures) Or not! Going ghost! Edit
    • Jack: (Being overshadowed by Plasmius) If you live to tell the tale, remember that big, fat Jack Fenton did this to you! Danny: Guess again, Cheese-head. (Pushes Plasmius out of Jack) Jack: (After returning to normal) Nobody uses Jack Fenton as a human meat puppet! Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Skulker's Glowing Blade: Appearance Skulker's new weapon somewhat resembles the blade weapons on the wrist of the monster from the Predator movies. Edit
    • Vlad: Appearance & Story Vlad Tempes, the man that started the Dracula myth was given the name Vlad the Impaler: a Transylvanian war lord that drank the blood of his victims. He even dipped bread in blood, saying that it was healthy, but he was eventually captured and imprisoned in a tower where he ate rats and drank their blood. Then he was killed. Dracula has fangs, weird eyes, and pointed ears, as does Vlad Plasmius in his ghost mode. And Vlad also lives in a castle, like Vlad the Impaler, and Dracula. In conclusion, Vlad's name and residence likely relates to Vlad the Impaler. Edit
    • Maddie: Jack, I've never seen you like this. You beat that ghost all the way to Kenosha! Kenosha is a city located in Kenosha County, Wisconsin. It is the fourth largest city in Wisconsin, next to Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay (which were all also acknowledged in this episode). More Info Edit
