Danny Phantom x Moon Knight
Been obsessed with the idea of the crossover between these two shows! Mostly because it’s Danny Phantom cannon that Tucker is the reincarnation of an Egyptian pharaoh!! And the crossover would come in with Tucker’s past life having being one of Khonshu’s previous avatars. Hell it could even be that Tucker was Konshu’s first ever avatar!
Like I’m just picturing a scene where the Moon Knight System and Khonshu meet team Phantom and Khonshu takes one look at Tucker and just has a stroke cause that is one of his previous avatars who died thousands of years ago wtf is he doing here alive and looking like a teenager. And if we’re going with the whole Danny is the king of the ghost zone via conquest, his next thought would be and why the hell is he hanging out with the king of the dead?!!!!
Meanwhile the whole of team Phantom can see Khonshu, Danny because he’s half ghost, Tucker because he’s a reincarnated pharaoh who was a previous avatar, Sam cause she was once given ghost like powers for a short time by Undergrowth and is now not fully human anymore, and Jazz because she’s lived in Amity Park exposed to ambient ectoplasm in the air for so long that she’s now liminal as hell!!!
Team Phantom is just staring up at this giant bird skull person in absolute confusion. And then Tucker just kind of squints at him for a moment and goes “hey I know you!” And the Moon Knight system is just standing there in the background confused as all hell, looking back and forth between this group of kids and Konshu.

Danny Phantom Randomness (Overshadowed Vs Possessed)
You know, even though the rest of us know Danny Phantom is about ghosts regardless of what Butch said about them being “monsters” from another dimension, I still think its funny how the phrases that were changed to sound less paranormal really get you thinking. Now, we all know what overshadowing someone means in the context of the show but when you go by the actual definition in the dictionary it doesn’t quite add up...
Tumblr media
Or does it?
Well to find out let’s start with the basics!
Overshadow can mean either:
tower above and cast a shadow over.
appear much more prominent or important than.
Meanwhile, Possession means:
the state of having, owning, or controlling something. 
an item of property; something belonging to one.
the state of being controlled by a demon or spirit.
Ok, going back to the show for a second it looks like the terms are more or less used interchangeably.
“Overshadowing, also called possession, is the power to possess a human, animal, or object and control its actions. It is a sub-power of intangibility.” ~ https://dannyphantom.fandom.com/wiki/Overshadowing
Personally this is how I like to think of it. When a ghost or half-ghost overshadows someone their will supersedes that of the host, with a few exceptions of course. For example, if they’re even slightly aware of the foreign entity inside of them they can be forced out through sheer force of will like Jack tried to when Vlad briefly took control of him during the reunion.
Tumblr media
We’ve even seen MULTIPLE ghosts take control of the same person like when Tucker temporarily had ghost powers too and was arguing with Danny while they were both overshadowing Paulina’s body.
Tumblr media
During this time, the victim’s consciousness is pushed back and enters a dream-like state which would explain that once its over, echoes of their time possessed remains along with a really confused and dizzy feeling like they’re just waking up from a dream. That’s what lets ghosts give people nudges in the direction they want to. Especially if it’s too much work trying to pretend to BE that person.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s even possible to actually enter someone’s dreams directly which could probably be used to communicate with someone as a ghost or plant an idea in their subconscious. Some ghosts can even keep their hosts ‘awake’ during possession and talk to them telepathically so they actually can remember what happened. Danny does this with Tucker a few times during training and things like that since it might be a little unsettling to have a gap in memory even though he knows Danny would never hurt him.
Tumblr media
Experienced ghosts can change their voices to match the person they’re controlling and at least from what I’ve seen...only we as the audience can see the change in eye color that sometimes goes along with it. That’s mostly just to show us something’s off, but otherwise to everyone else the possessed person looks and sounds completely normal. It’s only in more extreme cases that the possession is more obvious like when someone suddenly has red glowing eyes  or a visible ghostly aura.
Sidney Poindexter actually took this a step further by literally switching bodies with Danny and I’m honestly surprised no one talks about what a big deal that is. I mean think about it, this random nerdy ghost kid from the 50′s YEETED DANNY OUT OF HIS BODY AND TRAPPED HIS SOUL IN THE GHOST ZONE!
Tumblr media
Not even Vlad ever dared to overshadow Danny personally throughout the entire series since he had no idea what that could do to their ghost halves. Well, he might not, but WE know it could have created another Dan.
Tumblr media
At one point, Danny managed to overshadow one of Vlad’s duplicates too since it wasn’t the real thing. Not really sure why tbh.
Tumblr media
Oh, and you gotta admit that Vlad creating an army of shades to overshadow the voters in Amity Park was pretty OP even for him...
Tumblr media
I almost forgot Wulf harmlessly exorcised Walker out of the Mayor’s body with his claws which is incredible too! Now that could be another interesting aspect to explore later on.
Tumblr media
The point is, here’s what we know:
Most people can’t remember what they were doing while possessed unless they have a strong will or the ghost in question didn’t completely take over, meaning they’re awake during this time.
It’s possible for ghosts to overshadow dreams, animals, inanimate objects, and the virtual world such as videogames, television and the radio.
More than one ghost CAN possess a body at the same time as another which if you ask me could elude to “demonic” possession with multiple spirits in a single host. I think there’s a lot of untapped potential in this idea!
Overshadowing is an offshoot/sub-power of intangibility since they have to change into an incorporeal state to take over a person or object.
In some cases, the act of possession can temporarily change the host’s physical appearance and from what I can tell already protects them with superhuman strength and endurance as seen when a bunch of Danny’s classmates and teachers were taken over by Walker and his goons. It mostly depends on the type and intelligence of the ghost doing it.
So yeah, sorry that was kinda all over the place but for a “basic” ghost power I noticed a lot of cool ideas we don’t see explored very much and wanted to share my thoughts. I hope this helps some of you! There’s probably a few things I missed like when a sort of ghostly persona is created like the one Sam had when she turned into a dragon and when Tucker had ghost powers and Danny separated the ghostly version of Tucker Desiree created for him, but I think overall you get the idea.
