| ~ Box Ghost |
The Box Ghost is a recurring ghost villain in Danny Phantom. He’s the laughingstock of the Ghost Zone and Danny's weakest foe due to his comical incompetence and egotistical behavior. He usually appears as a minor character and often serves as comic relief rather than a primary antagonist.
He was voiced by Rob Paulsen who also voiced Nicolai Technus in the same show. He also voices Reuben and Frenchfry in Lilo and Stitch the series, Farley the Fox in Charlotte’s Web 2: Wilbur’s Great Adventure, Broccoli Overlord in The Annoying Orange franchise, Eustace Strych in The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius, Crainiacs in ChalkZone, Hydro-Man in Spider-Man The Animated Series and Brick and Boomer aka Rowdyruff Boys from The Powerpuff Girls.
History[]
Season 1[]
The Box Ghost first appears in "One of a Kind." He makes his attack on a warehouse, and is defeated by Danny and captured. Unfortunately, due to Tucker's clumsiness, he escaped and continued to run loose. He returns to Danny's class at the end of the episode, only to be defeated again.
In "Splitting Images" the Box Ghost attacks Danny in the beginning of the episode and humiliates him by hurling costumes and props from My Fair Lady at him. The Box Ghost returns at the end of the episode with a new name, "The Mechanical Frog Ghost," but he immediately changes his mind when the mechanical frog malfunctions.
In "Prisoners of Love", Danny finds the Box Ghost in the Ghost Zone in an area where human-world objects are kept. Walker finds them and arrests them both. In prison, the Box Ghost and all the other ghosts team up with Danny to escape.
He makes a brief appearance in "Lucky in Love". While Danny and Paulina were on a picnic, the Box Ghost came out of their picnic basket, only to be beaten up by Danny.
He shows up briefly in "Life Lessons", where he’s used as bait by Skulker to lure Danny and Valerie.
Season 2[]
He returns in "Reign Storm," where he displays his new power to control bubble wrap. At the end, he teams up with the other ghosts to stop Pariah Dark.
He briefly appears in "Identity Crisis," taking offense to Danny's and his friends' perceived low threat level of him.
In "The Ultimate Enemy", in the alternate future he and the Lunch Lady Ghost are married and have a child named Box Lunch. The Box Ghost of this future is much more serious and is no longer the comic relief he once was. He and some of Danny's other villains attack present-Danny, wanting revenge for the terrible fate his future self-gave them. At this point, Danny gained the Ghostly Wail and used his new power to blow away the Box Ghost's team of villains. He returns in "The Fright Before Christmas" as one of the ghosts who help Danny save Christmas, using his powers to return the stolen Christmas presents (which were all in boxes) to their homes. He later makes another appearance in "Secret Weapons," where he traps Tucker and Sam and fights Danny. Jazz tries to help capture the Box Ghost (whom she mistakenly calls "Crate Creep") but ends up capturing Danny in the Fenton Thermos instead.
Season 3[]
The Box Ghost only made a small appearance on an island while Frostbite's map takes Danny, Sam and Tucker around through the ghost zone in "Infinite Realms".
The Box Ghost gets a day in the limelight in "Boxed Up Fury." Frustrated by his lack of recognition in the Ghost Zone and his own pathetic weakness, he steals Pandora's Box and uses its evil powers to wreak havoc on Amity Park. In the end, while Danny and Pandora defeat him together and force him to clean up the mess he caused, the Box Ghost is left satisfied upon seeing that his actions have caused his infamy to go up.
The Box Ghost's final appearance is in the series finale, "Phantom Planet." He’s seen once being defeated by Masters' Blasters and again at the end as one of the many ghosts who help Danny and Skulker turn the Earth intangible.
Appearance[]
The Box Ghost appears as a short, somewhat round man with blue skin and short black hair. He wears gray overalls, a gray hat, light gray gloves, a light gray undershirt, and dark gray shoes.
The future Box Ghost seen in "The Ultimate Enemy" appears largely the same but is more intimidating. He’s muscular instead of round and has an eye patch, a scar below that eye, and a hook hand due to injuries from Dark Danny. His former goofy angry expression is replaced with a hateful scowl.
Powers[]
- Flight, Invisibility, Intangibility and Spectral Body Manipulation: Standard ghost powers. He can fly, turn invisible, and become intangible. He can also control his body to do things, such as head detachment and spinning or eyestalk protrusion.
- Telekinesis: The Box Ghost's main power. He uses it to control boxes and the objects inside them.
- Powers seen in the future:
- Ghost Ray: The future Box Ghost is capable of projecting blue ghost rays from his hand and shaping them into purple cubes out of ecto-energy.
Equipment[]
- Pandora's Box (briefly): In "Boxed Up Fury," the Box Ghost stole Pandora's Box from Pandora and gained its powers. He can summon anything that comes out of the box, absorb and reflect his enemies' attacks, as well as fire ghost rays from his hands.
