Au where Sydney Poindexter really likes superheroes but like 1950s superheroes because that's when he was alive so when all the ghost starts appearing he decides to become a cheesy 1950s superhero. He does this surprisingly well and because Danny doesn't need to protect people he gets into significantly less ghost fights and just becomes a kid with superpowers who isn't a hero. Sydney's of (living?) the dream while Danny gets to be a teenager. Danny sometimes helps if the foes really stronger and will defend himself in those accounts if a ghost shows up but he leaves it to Sydney most of the time.
Sydney looks and acts like a parody of 1950's Superman and Batman but none of the Town wanted to tell him cuz he's some dead kid protecting them they arent going to ruin his fun. He really enjoys protecting people and he really likes being popular.
Vlad and skulker specifically still fix it on Danny for his halfa status but Poindexter does his best to protect him.
Danny is definitely stronger than Poindexter (and most ghosts) but he steadfastly refuses to get sucked into heroing. Tucker doesn't get this ands always pestering him about "his cool powers"
Sam and Sydney have some friction over his outdated ideas. See at the start Sydney's well at best a little sexist. He's actually progressive for the time he came from but he's still a white teenager from the 1950s. He's really excited about a lot of rights but really confused about a few others. Like everyone being able to live by there own means (women and black people having the freedom to get any job they want) is super exciting but he still thinks women are weaker than men and need extra protection. He's fine with gay ppl but he doesn't get it. And transitioning goes right over his head. Alot of his biases are subconscious and over time he actually becomes more open-minded.
