#kryptonite is hardened ectoplasm

[idekwthmuistb]

Ok so y'all've likely hear of the whole "kryptonite is hardened ectoplasm" thing (which can def make sense considering it's made from all the death having seeped into the now destroyed krypton if that one little snippet of information was telling the truth and I'm remembering it right) and I bring you:

Ghosts not only eat kryptonite but there's also a subsection species that actively lived on/visited krypton pre-nonexistence to hunt kryptonions and that's why kryptonions are so invulnerable and have all the powers that they have. Its how they evolved to withstand their predators (ghosts).

So like, imagine if Clark and Kara both get an intense prey-reaction of they ever meet Danny. And maybe Jon and Kon both get really anxious but it's less so than full kryptonions! And really Clark wouldn't know why he's so terrified of a teen that doesn't even reach his shoulders unless he asks The Fortress or Kara tells him. Maybe even Danny doesn't know and sometimes gets the urge to chase down a Super or automatically focuses on any of them when in the same room–never looking away from his prey the Super the entire time.

Idk I just think it'd be neat!

DC X DP PROMPT #16

Mr. Lancer is the brother of Lex Luthor. He never really had an eye for business, or invention, or innovation. He just wanted to be a teacher, spread the good word on literature. Which is the whole reason he had changed his name and moved to the middle of nowhere.

He does not appreciate his brother delivering a package in his door. Not delivering it personally, not even sending a physical person to do a drop off. Just a measly note.

'hold onto this for me - L.L.'

What has Lex ever done for him? Nothing, that's what. So Mr. Lancer does the sensible thing. He opens the box to investigate to find - hardened ectoplasm?

Mr. Lancer knows about Danny and co. Au where Kryptonite is just hardened Ecto and is basically rock candy. Lex sends his brother a shit ton of kryptonite for safe keeping thinking 'he lives in the middle of nowhere what's he gonna do with it?' he feeds it to Danny :)

[void-of-unparalleled-chaos]

You know that trope where kryptonite is hardened ectoplasm? Well ectoplasm and emotion is the main building block of ghosts. They need ectoplasm to keep themselves solid, and their system is something similar to a respiratory cycle where a ghost intakes emotion-filled ectoplasm and releases it back into the world completely devoid. Basically, they are like plants.

What I'm trying to ask is, in this scenario, is Clark allergic to Danny?

Does he start sneezing whenever they are in the same room? After extended contact does he get a mild cold? Is Clark even able to set foot in Amity without immediately getting a fever?

ectoberhaunt2023 day 22-portal shenanigans TW- none summary- Danny gets flung int the DCU and decides to become a villain

ao3 ectoberhaunt masterlist part 1 of TCAB

Danny was feeling so done with Clockwork right now. All Danny had said was that he wanted a break from his kingly duties. Clockwork had told him to come to the Long Now. And okay. Danny could admit that he should have been more suspicious or at least cautious. But still! 

Wanting a break was not the same as having Clockwork toss him through a random portal where he’d be able to ‘destress.’ This was the opposite of destressing and Danny would make sure Clockwork knew it when the old clock decided to let him go back.

Danny sighed. He didn’t even know where he was. What was he even supposed to do?

He was in some kind of large city and he remembered Clockwork saying something about superheroes before yeeting Danny through the portal.

What superheroes lived here Danny had no idea, and honestly, he didn’t really care enough to find out. 

Maybe Danny though, since there were already heroes here, Danny could be a villain.

Yes, that was a brilliant idea. Danny grinned, aware that his smile was stretching too wide for his face.

But what to do, what to do.

He obviously didn’t want to be a terrible, no good, very bad villain. He didn’t want to kill people or steal from people who were struggling. So obviously he just had to steal from the rich. 

And how convenient. That was definitely a skyscraper over there.

Danny flew in that direction not caring enough to read the name on the side of the building.

He arrived invisibly and used his intangibility to fly down to the deepest level. The most interesting things were always hidden in the basement. Danny would know. They had a ghost portal in theirs and Vlad had a creepy lab in his.

And ohhh!!!! Those were some shiny rocks. They looked like ectoplasm but solid. He wondered… 

Danny flew forward and grabbed as many as he could carry, stuffing the rest into one of his pocket dimensions. Pocket dimensions were a very nice perk of being the Ancient of Space, if only he had inherited the power of remembering where he put things. Oh well. He’d find them eventually. 

Danny carried out five pieces with him as he flew up through the building. He’d only just gotten outside when someone loudly and sanctimoniously proclaimed, “Halt.”

Danny paused and took in the sight of a man dressed in blue and wearing red underwear over his clothing.

“Dude, you look so cringy.” Was that mean? Oh well. It’s not like Danny would be in this dimension very long.

The man gaped at him and then narrowed his eyes when he saw what Danny was carrying. Then he flew farther backwards.

“Drop the Kryptonite.”

Was that what this was? “Finders keepers.”

“Kid, leave the Kryptonite and we can talk.”

“Why would I want to talk with you?”

The man’s expression hardened and Danny grinned.

“Are they yours?” Danny asked. 

“Listen, it’s extremely dangerous. So, you need to put them down.”

Danny frowned. “These things aren’t dangerous. See?” Danny said and stuck one in his mouth. It tasted kind of tangy but also sweet. It was actually pretty good. He popped the other two into his mouth and the older man gaped at him. 

“What did you do!”

Danny laughed maniacally like all the good villains do. “You will neer get your shiny rocks back.” Danny laughed again before going invisible and flying away, stifling his laughter behind his hands.

This was actually pretty fun. Maybe Clockwork was onto something.

Going off the kyrptonite is basically hardened ectoplasm.

The league is monitoring the kyrptonite market and checking around. Scanning the earth for large deposits. Pick up what they assume is a drop of somekind for what must be a large quantity of kyrptonite. In some small town in Illinois.

When they get to amity park. They don’t find any actual kryptonite. But green beings and a boy who the sensors keep going off on.

[if-i-was-a-dinosaur]

I just woke up at 1 am and this idea came into existence in my lil pea brain and i had to RUN to inscribe it before i forgot about it. Kryptonite is hardened ectoplasm. Danny (and other ghosties) eat ectoplasm. Chaos and confusion ensues.

@verekatt @goddessficlover

You wouldn't know by the looks of it, but that last battle was actually not that hard.

The collateral damage came after.

It was against Metallo. Superman, Supergirl, and Superboy couldn't get close, but before they could execute their brilliant idea of luring him off a cliff, something unexpected happened.

Phantom, a teenage hero who occasionally works with the Justice League, was conveniently standing right where Metallo landed after trying to punch Supergirl out of the air. Not "right where he landed," as in he was close, he actually was in the spot where Metallo landed. He phased through him. Most of him.

Now Clark, Kara, and Kon just stood there, dead silent, watching Phantom eat Metallos Kryptonite heart.

What were they supposed to do? They couldn't get close, but also, they couldn't just let someone eat Kryptonite. There was no plan for this situation! So they resorted to keeping their distance and yelling for him to stop.

It went something like this.

SSS: No, don't. That's radioactive. You can't eat it... also, it's his heart.

Phantom: *munch crunch*

Thankfully, Ma Kent ran in swinging a broom around like he was a misbehaving cat. No word on where she got a straw broom in Metropolis or how it seems to be indestructible. After a short game of cat and mouse, Phantom stopped over Metallos' body and, ew, vomited up a glowing green ball of, mucous? Slime? Something gelatinous, and placed it in Metallos chest cavity. It glowed faintly and leaked into his whole indoskeleton before hardening.

Then Metallo turned back on. He sat up. He stood up. He looked towards the Supers, and in the blink of an eye, his face had an indent in it that perfectly matched Kara's fist.

Superman finishes his presentation by looking at Phantom. The other leaguers at the meeting turn to look at him too.

"Care to explain?" Someone asked.

"Look," Phantom tried to sound mature. "It's on sight." He must have rolled a one. "Kryptonite is top teir shit." He holds out his hand and starts counting on his fingers. "It's green, it glows, and best of all? It's from space. And besides, Metallo was only using the residual energy from it. You can get that a lot more efficiently from pure ectoplasm. Plus, pure ectoplasm doesn't mess your emotions like Kryptonite does. If anything, he's probably more stable now."

Somehow, Danny's very logical explanation got him signed up for a lot of missions where Lex Luther was involved, and every scientist involved with the league (maybe not every but there were a lot) asked to run tests on him.

It Looks like food, It Tastes like food, It's food

I saw a post a while back where Danny would just eat random things that should not be consumed, including kryptonite, and it left a little brain worm, so here we are.

.....

Ghost eat ectoplasm. That's a generally known fact, to those who know things about ghosts that is, but what is less well known is that they actually eat anything with a high enough energy or strong enough signature. So they can eat things like magic, strong emotions, and radioactive rocks. Technically they can eat anything that isn't actively poisonous to ghosts, but if it doesn't have any energy it's just like a human eating dirt and has no nutritional value.

Danny does not know all these more obscure facts. his ghost knowledge is mostly based on experience and what he can learn from his parents' bias research. Of course, another ghost could tell him, but with all the other gaps in his knowledge, no ones thought to bring it up.

Danny thinking he can only really eat ecto does not, however, deter him from eating a lot of random things because he is under the impression that everything green and glowing (minus electric lights, he's not stupid.) is ectoplasm. And given the properties that make non electric things glow, he still obtains sustenance from them. Of course if he ever took one of the things he found back to his parents' lab or to another ghost, they could tell him it wasn't ecto, but why would he do that when he could eat it?

So to get to the DC part of this, imagine Danny as a JL or JL adjacent hero and freaking people out when they catch him eating things that shouldn't be possible to eat.

They're either in the middle of a battle or have just finished and Danny is hungry so he takes a bite out of one of Hal's constructs and everyone there is like "???"

They brake into one of Lex Luther's facilities to confiscate his kryptonite and Danny's like "Dinner!" and starts eating big chunks like they're apples and putting little pieces in his pockets as snacks for later. Super man avoids him for a week. Partially because he's scared the radiation will effect him from within Phantom, and partially because seeing that was actually scary.

Batman gets annoyed when his fail-safe kryptonite goes missing. Apparently Danny came over with Jason for a visit to the cave and he ate it as a snack.

....

Just a thought. Feel free to add on. There's a story in here somewhere.

[spoopyyaoikingdom]

Superman is weak to magic aint he?

So~ Danny basically IS magic. Like theres no rhyme or reason why in the multiverse this kid rlly has ICE abilities. Lots og other onrs make sense but even among other ghosts what he can do is odd.

Supermans weak to magic so Danny vould injure him easy. Cuz what he does is basically Death Magic Powers.

And even if he cant physically. Hr could overshadow Superman (i believe he dorsnt have much in thr mental fortitude for psychic attacks) and just fly hom to kryptonite or punch himself or drown himself (cuz superman DOES need to breathe he can just hold it a long ass time if he wants ive heard)

Or hell superman has super hearing like planet wide.

Imagine the sonic wail attack on him

The absolute Hellish SCREAMS SHRIEKS AND DEATH SHRILLS of the DAMNED AND DEAD surrounding him in a powerful ass SONIC WAVE along with prolly (the screams of a dying child being tortured ELECTROCUTED. killed and revived over and ovwr and OVER). ALL HITTING HIM AT POINT BLANK RANGE

HED BE DOWN hed be DEAF MAYBE ahahhahahaahah

Danny could also grow his ice (if he tried enoigh) INSIDE SUPERMANS BODY. Stab it into his brain or poke a spot (if its also impervious. I cant remember if hid actual internal organs are also invulnerable)

But he could damn well poke and prod at it. He xould make aneurysms. Blood clots. Block arteries and vessels. He could pop his eyes out of his skull. Push his tongue into his throat. Put ice around the fragile things in his lungs. So on and so forth

Like all u need is a creative ass brain and even if it wont somehow kill superman IT DAMN WELL WONT FEEL PLEASANT

And thats also if we consider Hardened Ectoplasm to not be like Kryptonite since theyre two diff things but they could have similar properties.

So yea. Just need some creativity and ingenuity and WHABAM ur a goddamn 1 man army <3.

He can qlso will his ice to melt to. So superman could just fucking DROP DEAD and danny evaporates all his ice cuz it isnt normal ice and water and Done. Just looks like danny WILLED his brain. Heart. Lungs. Arteries what have u to just get fucked.

So people wouldnt even knw it was his ice that did it and could think he can just DO THT with willpower. Didnt even need to look at superman prolly lol

Like wowwie wow wow

considering the amount of crossovers the phandom has I rarely see anyone pointing out how ridiculously fucking overpowered Danny is compared to other superheroes

like it’s not very prominent in canon because all his enemies are other ghosts who have pretty much the same basic powers as him and hunters use ectoplasm based weapons and protective gear but like throw Danny into Xavier’s school for mutants or a room with the Avengers or the Justice League and he is probably the most powerful person there

though I guess it depends on your headcanons as to how Danny would react to other superpowers, most fics I read have him being susceptible to certain abilities like energy based attacks and stuff like that, which works but what if what if he could just phase through all of them, there’s no reason to assume he can’t except for plot necessity, sure it would make a pretty boring fic but it’s still fun to consider

Danny Phantom, more powerful than Superman

think about it, Danny might not be as strong or as fast but he still has his intangibility which pretty much makes him immune to any of Superman’s attacks, and there’s no reason Danny couldn’t overshadow him

my knowledge may be lacking a bit as I’m more of a movie/tv show watcher than a comic reader but if we’re running on the assumption that only blood blossoms and ectoplasm based attacks can harm a ghost then unless we have other spectral characters involved Danny’s pretty much impervious to most other superpowers

and even if he is susceptible to other kinds of attacks, he still has an absurd amount of different powers, starting with the fact that he can transform into his alter ego without having to physically change clothes (an ability most supers would kill for)

then there’s his invisibility, intangibility, he can duplicate himself, he can shoot lasers from multiple places on his body, he can fly, he can shoot energy blasts, form energy shields, he has ice powers, he has an absolutely devastating sound wave attack, he can possess people without them even remembering it, and although it’s never stated outright in canon it’s widely accepted fanon that he can heal super fast and is stronger than normal (in his ghost form at least, in Micro Management it’s fairly obvious that his human form is pretty weak) and it’s also up for debate as to whether or not he even needs air to breath

that’s more than ten different abilities, most of which have been another superhero’s only power

put him in the ring with any other unprepared superhero and he’d slam their ass

EDIT: just realised that he would definitely be susceptible to psychics so Xavier and other mind controlling supers could probably take him down easy

[radiance1]

Hmmmm.

I see what you're doing, and I must say I quite like it in all honesty.

Really, a way I can think of that would maybe, probably explain Jack's lack of Superman powers would perhaps be that a Kyrptonian somehow got to the DP universe, had a family, resulted in a Kryptonian/Human hybrid and over time the Kryptonian blood kinda thinned out and then boom there comes Jack.

Or, you could go with the Ectoplasm is Kyrptonite hc, but maybe make it so that the ambient ectoplasm has a far weaker effect than hardened kryptonite. Thus explaining Jack's strength and reflexes and his lack of other powers, since ectoplasm would limit them to a certain degree, not all gone weak body like Kyrptonite, but a limiter nonetheless.

AnYWHo I'm just throwing ideas out there lmao.

Prompt idea: inmortal teen looking Danny, jumping across different dimensions he lands in DC. He quickly become annoyed because the native heroes won't stop trying to adopt him.

Oh and it take some years to Danny to jump to another dimension

*Cracks knuckles*

Alright so this is extremely, very, late. But it shall be DONE!

So, let us start with some BACKGROUND.

Danny is an immortal teen, yes? So then, Danny has outlived every mortal he knows, as in Jack, Maddie, Sam, Tucker, Jazz, everyone.

So when the last person he loved and cared for died (your pick as to whom), he went into the ghost zone to explore to hopefully forget all the pain. He explored the zone, stopping by some of the ghosts he knows before finding a portal, to which he just says fuck it and dives in.

At first he didn't know where he was, but with some digging he came to the conclusion that it's a different dimension and is like neat. So he explores a lil, meets some people, drinks and eats some food.

Y'know, the usual tourist stuff.

So after a few years he had his fill of this new dimension, seeing everything there is to see and all. So he left, finding a conveniently open portal and then goes on to the next.

And the next.

And the next.

Until one portal, like any other. He pops into a new dimension and expects it to be like all the others, he already had things going on his mind about what it would be.

Perhaps old timey? Maybe Prehistoric even? Oooo, maybe it would be futuristic, those are always fun.

Except it was none of that, in this dimension people have powers and superheroes are actually real.

He was a bit surprised, but easily accepted it.

So there he was, just minding his own business outside of earth's atmosphere, eyeing up the planet to think about where he would visit first, he picked up a lot of languages in his travel, so he doesn't think he'll have a problem where he choses.

So he picks a certain spot to land, some city by the name of Metropolis, only to be met with two people.

A man with a red cape in blue and red spandex, and standing near him is a bat furry in black spandex.

Weird choice but alright, he doesn't judge.

It was when the former turned around- Superman if he remembered correctly, that he felt like he was punched in the gut.

He looked so much like him, so, so much that he thought he was standing- well, more so floating, right there in front of him.

"Dad?"

Danny noticed his mistake after he let it slip, there were some slight differences that his father didn't have, and well, his father is dead and all.

So what did he do to save himself from the embarrassment of mistaking some guy for his dead dad?

He's an adult- practically older than a lot of people actually, even if he looks like a kid. He is mature and will solve this and act accordingly.

He turned invisible and peaced out.

He's sure nothing won't come out of that frankly.

It was just a teeny, tiny slip up.

Something did come out of it, much to Danny's chagrin.

Now he's being followed by these superheroes everywhere for whatever reason and they won't leave him alone when he just wants to sight see.

In a dark and grim city because he was avoiding Metropolis?

Followed by some ninja furries in spandex. (Also what the fuck, why the hell are they so damn sneaky for he almost forgot they were following him-)

He went to New York.

Got found by this random lady who also wouldn't leave him alone.

He escaped to Central City and had a conversation with this guy in red spandex with a lightning bolt of his chest.

Honestly he had a pretty nice time but what is it with Superheroes and spandex?

He wanted to leave, but the portal isn't gonna open again for some undetermined amount of time.

...The universe really likes to fuck him over, don't it?
