Jack Fenton is a character from Danny Phantom. He is Danny and Jazz's father. He loves hunting ghosts, and is a comic relief. He fell in love with Maddie Fenton after Vlad Masters got infected by ghost slime.

He is voiced by Rob Paulsen also voices Reuben, P.J., Pinky, Yakko, Donatello, Carl Wheezer, Mark Chang, Peck, Spike, Ditto, Gordon Quid, Rev Runner, and Furrball.

Appearance[]

Jack is large and bulky, with black hair with some white in the back and blue eyes. He always wears an orange jumpsuit with black gloves and boots. He is also seen wearing his jumpsuit hood and lab goggles with teal lenses in two episodes. It is similar in design to the one Maddie wears, though in "Control Freaks", the lenses in Jack's goggles are red (similar to Maddie's) instead of teal.

Personality[]

Jack is incompetent at times, even coming off as goofy, clumsy, absent-minded, and obsessed with ghosts.

When initially activating the ghost portal he left disappointed when it didn't activate, forgetting that he installed the on switch on the inside of the portal, which was what caused the accident with Danny. Sometimes, he's had no problems going to wherever Danny is, unintentionally getting Danny in trouble or embarrassing him.

He's also been shown to be fairly narcissistic, as shown in "Forever Phantom" where he names things after himself and by the fact most of his inventions have his face like the blimp, his toast, etc.

Despite these obvious flaws, Jack is a brilliant scientist and inventor—capable of building working ghost and ecto machines. He is also well-meaning, as he is very protective of his family—jumping at any chance for quality bonding. This was seen when he defeated attacking ghosts led by Vlad on his own to protect his family, even shedding his usual ineptness and showing his competent nature.

He’s a loving and devoted father and husband. Even though his passion for ghost hunting may appear to overshadow everything else, his family is still the most important thing to him.

While Jack was usually oblivious to Vlad's dislike of him, his eyes were opened after seeing his ghost powers and revealing his true feelings. Jack ultimately turned his back on him for tricking him and putting his family in danger.

Trivia[]

  • Jack is the first character to appear and speak in the entire series.
  • His name may be a reference to Jake Fenton from TimeSplitters 2.
  • His body type and color scheme are based on those of Fred Flintstone.
  • "Control Freaks" marks the only time where Jack's goggles have red lenses (similar to Maddie's) instead of teal.
  • "Memory Blank" and "Flirting with Disaster" are the only two episodes where Jack is present without Maddie.
