Danny Phantom x Supernatural (TV 2005), commonly known as Superphantom, is a crossover fandom between Danny Phantom and Supernatural.

This crossover became popular in 2012, coinciding with a renaissance era of the Danny Phantom fandom.

It may also be crossed over with Gravity Falls to become the multifandom crossover Superphantom Falls.

Tropes

  • Protective siblings, especially Jazz Fenton, Dean Winchester, and Sam Winchester
  • Bad parents – recurring ao3 tags include John Winchester’s A+ Parenting and Jack and Maddie Fenton’s A+ Parenting
  • Full Ghost Danny or Fully Dead Danny
  • Runaway AU for Danny Fenton or Dani Phantom
  • Apocalypses, either set in Danny Phantom’s The Ultimate Enemy future, Supernatural’s End!Verse, or a generic Apocalypse AU
  • Demon Deals, often with Danny Phantom characters realizing they have made a bad or binding one
  • The King of Hell, usually Danny Fenton, Vlad Masters, or Crowley. This may also overlap with Ghost King Danny, which is a common trope in the Danny Phantom fandom
  • Jack and Maddie Fenton are known in the Hunter community, explaining why the Winchesters may be family friends, or have reason to visit Amity Park
  • The Winchesters fighting or hunting Danny Phantom
  • Discrepancies between the lore and weaponry of Danny Phantom canon and Supernatural canon (for example, salt and guns not working on ghosts in Amity Park, Anti-possessions tattoos working or not on ghosts, etc). May be paired with ao3 tags Amity Park is Weird and The Winchesters aren't equipped to deal with Amity Park
  • Canon typical angst, body horror, and violence
  • Nephillim or Vessel AUs (ex. Danny is Half Angel, or Danny Phantom characters are born vessels for specific angels, like Dean and Sam for Michael and Lucifer).
  • Danny as a 'Half-Ghost' is considered an abomination/curiosity by Supernatural beings (ex. Angels, Demons, Death).
  • Ectoplasm (Danny Phantom) is a natural deterrent for demonic possession.

Fanfiction

  • White Shadows by ShortSweet'NToThePoint - The first superphantom fic, posted to ffn. In 2009 A little girl by the name of Lilith suddenly appears and claims to be Danny and Sam's future daughter. Though bigger problems await... Crossover with Supernatural, DxS
  • Dead Man's Blood by anthrop - the most popular superphantom fic on both ao3 and on ffn. “Pfah! What good’re cops in a town like this?” The old man waves dismissively. “Nah, Phantom’ll take care of things, same as he always does.” Dean pauses in fishing out his wallet. “Phantom? Who’s Phantom?”
  • Promise Me This by phantomrose96 on tumblr
  • Amphisbaena by LaoraRyn on ao3 They were all human, once.
  • Paradiso by sapphireswimming on ao3. Of all the doors he'd walked through, this was by far the nicest.
  • spooky by surely_silly on ao3. He's just a kid—a glowing, floating, other ghost fighting kid. Sometimes though, he isn't even that.
  • Burning Anchors by Rosy_Thorn on ao3. New hunters are in town. Their 'shoot first, ask questions later' method usually isn't an issue for Danny. But these hunter's aren't normal. They know what they're doing.
  • Says Here You're Dead by phantomrose on tumblr. Based on the superphantom prompt from tumblr user thickerthanectoplasm. Danny is convinced that these two [Winchester brothers] are actually ghosts that are posing as humans like Ember and Spectra.  Much hilarity ensues.
