Jack and Madeline "Maddie" Fenton are fictional characters from the Nickelodeon animated television series, Danny Phantom. Both serves as parents to main protangonist Danny and Jazz Fenton. The two are on an everlasting quest to destroy all ghosts (which they see them as all evil regardless). Jack Fenton is voiced by Rob Paulsen. Maddie Fenton is voiced by Kath Soucie.

Jack Fenton

Appearance/History

His past life before his college days is unknown, although he stated in the first episode he was born in a log cabin. He had always wanted a pony, but was discouraged from this because he and his family had to eat horsemeat during the war. He has an ancestor named John Fenton-Nightengale who was around during the Salem Witch Trials, sharing his looks and obsessivness (towards witches instead of ghosts), indicating paranormal activities run in his family. During his college days in the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he and Vlad Masters were once best friends (something he still believes in the current present). Along with Maddie, the two worked on a proto-Ghost Portal. Not paying attention, Jack accidentally spilled diet soda inside the Ecto Filtrator, causing Vlad to exhibit ecto-acne and damaging their friendship for the next 20 years until "Bitter Reunions" and beyond where Jack, having reunited with Vlad assumes the two are good friends once again (even though in reality Vlad wants Jack dead). After college, he married Maddie and had two children together: Jazz and Danny. In "Maternal Instinct", it was revealed that Jack's tremendous girth is genetic. Compared to keeping his dad out of trouble, fighting ghosts and surviving high school are practically a piece of cake for Danny as his father tends to be clumsy and incompetent in behavior. Despite Jack's oafish nature, he appears to be an accomplished inventor. Jack is often the one who builds most of the gadgets and equipment seen in Danny's house and the lab. However, he seems to have trouble using these gadgets while other characters such as Danny or Maddie have no trouble at all. He is not above teaching his kids how to use them every chance he gets and is quick to go where ghosts are, which has led to a few embarrassing situations for Danny and Jazz. One humorous note is that Jack, unlike his wife, firmly believes in Santa Claus as revealed in "The Fright Before Christmas". He and Maddie have been arguing over Santa Claus's existence for the last 14 years at least, which directly leads to Danny's dislike of Christmas. In "Masters Of All Time", in an alternate reality, Vlad is married to Maddie and Jack has the Ecto-Acne, causing him to turn into Jack Plasmius (an accident on part by Danny who tried to change the past so Vlad would not be Vlad Plasimus).

Jack turned ghost in an alternate timeline.

Both he and Maddie have learned on four separate occasions that his son is part ghost (first time was when Dark Danny revealed his secret, second was during an alternate timeline as Jack Plasmius, the third when Freakshow was after the reality gems), the fourth was near the end of "Phantom Planet" but only the last time did he know permanently. Regardless, while at first the idea bothers him, like Maddie he comes to accept it readily out of love for the boy for that one brief moment during the events of "Reality Trip". In "Phantom Planet", the show's finale, Vlad reveals his identity as a ghost to the entire city. Shocked, he confronts Vlad with sympathy, but Vlad coldly shrugs him off. In the climax, Vlad is trapped in outer space near fatal ectoplasmic energy fields surrounding him. Begging Jack to let him board his ship, and stating that he would not abandon an old friend, Jack replies with a mixture of anger and sadness "An old friend? no. You? yes." he tragically shrugs him off and heads off to Earth, leaving Vlad to fend for himself. After learning Danny's true identity as the Ghost Boy, he offered to team up with his son, making him his 'sidekick.'

Personality

Jack is an adequate fighter with great strength (due primarily to his prodigious size) and courage as well as a good amount of technical knowledge, but can often be clumsy and incompetent. However, he has a maturity and seriousness that few people recognize. Despite his constant obsession with ghosts, he loves and protects his family. Danny's Dad, Jack — determined to prove the existence of ghosts but completely unaware that his son is one — is far too brave for his own good. He is obsessed with ghost-hunting. He always has a ghost weapon on him, even when told expressly not to (The Fenton Menace), or while bathing (Reality Trip). Geared up in his dayglow-orange spandex jumpsuit, (and he apparently comes out in a rash if he wears anything else, as shown in The Fenton Menace,) Jack always jumps into the action before thinking and usually makes a bad situation even worse. He has a level of genius though, able to conjure up working ghost gadgets and defense system built all around the Fenton household. When it comes to ghosts, nothing else can stray him from catching one and ripping it apart "molecule by molecule" (except maybe his weakness for fudge... lots and lots of fudge). This is the main reason why his son has yet to tell his parents about his human/ghost hybrid status. It also doesn't help that Jack is gunning for Danny more than any other ghost, though he has grudgingly accepted help from him before namely to fight Plasmius (whom he calls the "Wisconsin Ghost"). Unlike most characters in the show, he can tell when he's been overshadowed, but it seems only when it's a malevolent force controlling him (for instance, Vlad), and not someone like Danny. Apparently, such ability only works when the overshadower forces him to do something against his will. In "Eye for an Eye", Vlad "forces" Jack to vote for him, which Jack already intended to do anyway. Jack is revealed to be very competent while fighting ghosts who put his family in danger. It happened at least three times: first in "The Million Dollar Ghost", when a single-handed Jack beats Plasmius and his ghost vultures to save Fenton portal from exploding; second in "Reign Storm", when he used the unfinished Fenton Ectoskeleton to defeat the Fright Knight and save Maddie and third in "Girls' Night Out", when he "saves" Danny Fenton from Skulker.

Madeline "Maddie" Fenton

Appearance/History

Danny's mom is a ghost fighter with his dad even though she is a better ghost fighter than Jack (Danny's Dad). Not much of Maddie's past is revealed outside of her college days when she was friends with Vlad and Jack. The three worked on a Porto-Ghost Portal that caused Vlad to exhibit ecto-acne due to Jack's accident of spilling diet soda into the machine instead of ecto-purifier. Afterwards, Jack married Maddie and they had two children: Jasmine "Jazz" Fenton and Daniel "Danny" Fenton. Taking on a maternal role, aside from ghost hunting, Maddie serves as the more rational parent, showing more concern for her children's welfare than her husband. That said, even she has her obsession whenever it concerns ghosts. Unlike Jack who merely wants to rip them apart, Maddie thinks in a more scientific mind, preferring to examine them. Of course, she still makes Danny nervous whenever she talks about dissecting a ghost or studying the remains after she blasts them. In "The Fright Before Christmas", it is revealed Maddie does not believe in Santa Claus, leading to many arguments with her husband (who does), and Danny getting the short end of the stick. In "Masters of All Time", due to Danny trying to change the past so Vlad Plasmius does not exist, he ended up creating an alternate world where his father is Jack Plasmius and his mother is married to Vlad, hiding her ghost hunting life away from him. The timeline is changed to normal when Danny manages to tell both his parents about this false reality. Maddie managed to send Danny to the ghost portal where he managed to get reality fixed to what it was. Both she and Jack have learned on four separate occasions that their son is part ghost (first time was when Dan Phantom/Dark Danny revealed his secret; second was during an alternate timeline as Vlad Masters' wife; the third when Freakshow was after the reality gems; the fourth was near the end of "Phantom Planet" but only the last time did they (and the entire world) know permanently. She accepted Danny despite him being half ghost regardless for that one brief moment during "Reality Trip". In "Girls' Night Out", it is revealed that Maddie sometimes works on her own set of inventions (one example shown in the episode Maddie Modulator, a device to alter spectral frequency and reverse the process). Usually she doesn't have time to work on them because she has to deal with fixing everything Jack breaks. Unlike Jack, Maddie often takes a more proactive role in fighting ghosts, using a mix of martial arts and high-tech gadgets that Jack can build, but can never quite use correctly. In Prisoners of Love it's revealed that Maddie has a sister named Alicia, who lives by herself in a cabin in the isolated woodland of Spittoon in Arkansas and she has been divorced for a whole decade. She grows rhubarb, makes her own lemonade and chops her own firewood. She clearly doesn't like Jack and her feelings towards her niece Jazz and her nephew Danny were never touched upon. She states that intelligent women run in her and Maddie's family and she was voiced by Grey DeLisle. Alicia's maiden name (or married name for that matter) along with Maddie's maiden name and other members of their side of the family have not been revealed.

Personality

Maddie (short for Madeline, which is revealed in "Maternal Instincts") is an accomplished martial artist (ninth degree black belt) as well as marksman and technical whiz. Maddie, despite her obsession with ghosts, absolutely loves her family and will do anything to defend them. Maddie has known both Jack and Vlad since college and all that time she has thought of Vlad as simply as a friend, despite Vlad's attempt to amend that opinion. In Maternal Instincts, Vlad declares his feelings to Maddie, feelings which Maddie does not return, nor does she appreciate what he says about Jack and for this Vlad falls into Maddie's ill-graces. In "Reign Storm," when Vlad claims to have saved Danny's life, Maddie's opinion of Vlad improves out of gratitude, but she continues to harbor a mixed opinion towards him; it has since been consistently shown that she still doesn't trust him. Maddie has always stayed true to her family and she always defends Jack against Vlad whenever Vlad has spoken ill of him. Danny used to be really close with Maddie when he was little and despite not being as close to her now, still looks up to her. Danny's mother is a firm believer in what can be strongly evidenced/"proven" scientifically (in the Danny Phantom universe, that includes ghosts) and is more rational than her husband. Like Jack, she's none too friendly towards ghosts, though she's not quite as gung-ho to destroying them outright. In her own words, "Well we can't completely vaporize it. Don't you want to at least examine the remains?"

Fenton Products

As a running joke, the Fentons have created a wealth of commercialized products that are intended to help them with their goals of capturing and defeating ghosts, however they usually question the worth of the product when it affects Danny (who they are unaware is half-ghost). Most of them are used primarily by Maddie and Jack, although Danny has been known to "borrow" some of them from time to time, especially the thermos (seen in most episodes). Also, it should be noted that many of the devices can be considered especially cruel or sadistic in nature, towards ghosts and sometimes even to normal humans; though Jack and Maddie do not appear to be concerned by this. They primarily use ectoplasm as a power source in their weaponry and devices.

• Fenton Ghost Portal – The Fenton Ghost Portal is a door into the Ghost Zone; However it is normally kept closed by a barrier across the front (similar to the Iris from Stargate SG-1); It works, but its major flaw is that the "on" switch is inside of it; Danny was standing inside the Ghost Portal when he accidentally activated it, fusing Danny with ectoplasm, and giving him ghost powers. Jack and Maddie build an experimental version of the Ghost Portal during their college years (see Bitter Reunions or Masters of All Time), which resulted in Vlad Plasmius's ghost-powers, also giving him Ecto-Acne, when Jack accidentally used Diet Cola rather than the Ecto-Purifier Fluid. There is also a device the Fentons created that automatically generates a temporary ghost portal, which Johnny 13 had stolen while he had been in the Fenton Lab and modified into his bike--using it to between the Earth and the Ghost Zone in Lucky in Love, but Danny destroys it to prevent any future mishaps from Johnny. One important note about the portal is that the Ecto-Filtrator must be replaced every 6 months, or it will overload and explode. Vlad Masters' Wisconsin home was leveled when he forgot to change the Ecto-Filtrator on his Ghost Portal. The portal goes through several upgrades, but in Phantom Planet it is destroyed when Danny uses it to rid himself of his powers. According to Frostbite and the Infi-Map, there are numerous natural portals between the Ghost Zone and the Earth, which includes one in the Bermuda Triangle. Though the original Fenton Portal was destroyed at the end of the series, since Jack Fenton still intends to continue his ghost-hunting career, (offering Danny the position of his 'side-kick'), it is more than likely that he would build another Portal.
• Fenton Thermos – A thermos used to capture ghosts. The ghost must usually first be weakened before it can be captured within the Fenton Thermos. There have been exceptions to this however, such as in "Secret Weapons" when Danny was accidentally sucked into the Fenton Thermos while still at full strength. Danny then releases the ghost back into the Ghost Zone through the Ghost Portal. The device can hold multiple ghosts at a time, if damaged, the release switch is activated, and the ghosts within are all set free. Another thing to note is that the Thermos can capture any ghost, regardless of size, shape or form. Danny has been able to snare huge ghosts such as a super-powered Desiree and a reality-warped Freakshow. In Mystery Meat, it is said that it doesn't work for humans, and can only be used when Danny charges it with ghost power. However, in later episodes it has been used by humans, such as Jazz in Secret Weapons (although it may be that Danny can simply charge it well before it is used). The thermos isn't a surefire containment unit: Dark Danny was seen slowly escaping of the one he was trapped in in his last appearance, and the ghost-version Freakshow destroyed his thermos before being turned back to normal. Although, it was probably Danny who destroyed the Thermos, because the gaunlet had a blue hand, from the Gem of Fantasy.
• Fenton Xtractor – A vacuum-type device that extracts a ghost from a human. It is suggested by the internet game Ghost Sweep that this was going to be Danny's primary ghost-catching device, but was probably replaced with the Fenton Thermos for convenience. Similar to the Poltergust from Luigi's Mansion. Was also referred to as the Fenton Ghost Weasel in "Attack of the Killer Garage Sale".
• Fenton Finder – A device that locates ghosts using GPS. Jack, however, is, to quote the device, "you'd have to be some sort of moron to not notice the ghost directly ahead" (as evidenced when he couldn't figure out why the device pointed him to Danny). This usually results in Maddie replying with "Jack, Danny is not a ghost."
• Fenton Grappler – A retractable grappling hook device that, when fired, shoots out a special net that ghosts cannot escape from, or so Danny's parents say. However, this has not been proven since it's only use was on Jazz when Maddie and Jack thought she was a ghost.
• Fenton Ghost Fisher – First seen in Parental Bonding — a High-Tech Retractable Fishing Rod, "used to go fishing for ghosts", the line is coated in a specially tested ecto-plasmic resin that ghosts can't break or escape from, though on several occasions ghosts have done both. The line also tends to jam on Jack frequently, usually when he wants to use it against his son. Apparently, Skulker stole one as he is shown to have one in Life Lessons.
• Ghost Gabber – "It translates the strange sounds ghosts make and turns them into words you and I use every day!" For some reason (perhaps technical problems), it adds the words "fear me!" to the end of every sentence. (This might also be due to the fact that everything ghosts say are meant to be feared.) Since most ghosts speak English, there is little need for the Gabber.
• Fenton Ghost Gloves – Gloves that are so powerful that nothing can break their grip, allowing the wearer to handle ghosts and/or ghost-powered beings. Jack Fenton used these to beat the living daylights out of Vlad Plasmius in the Million Dollar Ghost. In The Ultimate Enemy, another version of these gloves, called the Ghost Gauntlets created by Vlad, had special claws that could be used to rip a ghost out of an overshadowed human OR a human that is half-human, half-ghost. However, because the Ghost Gauntlets were only seen in the alternate timeline shown in that episode it's possible Vlad didn't invent them in the current one. (Vlad could have created them in the alternate timeline just to grant Danny's wish of being separated into a full human Danny Fenton and a full ghost named Danny Phantom) The gloves are somewhat similar to Wulf's claws.
• Fenton Weapons Vault - This is where the Fentons store most of their ghost-hunting equipment and supplies. It can only be opened using a password on a keypad, (which Jack usually changes without Maddie's knowledge). One thing to note is that the vault door has no handle on the inside, so anyone who gets locked inside is stuck until someone from the outside opens the vault (it's meant to have one according to the note; Jack just forgets to install it).
• Fenton Ghost Catcher – Another ghost-removing device that separates ectoplasmic energy from people (from ghosts overshadowing them,) objects and places. It resembles a huge dream catcher - the net or web in the centre is designed to act as a filter. In What You Want, Danny accidentally flew through it, causing his human and Phantom forms to be separated, but Danny Phantom flew back inside Danny Fenton, causing them to reunite. Later in the same episode, Danny uses the Fenton Ghost Catcher to separate evil, Desiree-created Ghost Tuck from regular Tuck. A season later, in Identity Crisis, Danny split himself, intentionally this time, in order to multitask, and in the process, split his personality, and later his powers, in two.
• Fenton Family Ghost Assault Vehicle/RV – An RV with many nifty, built-in ghost catching gadgets. It also has a switchable steering wheel, in which the driver (Jack), can let the passenger (Maddie), drive while he goes to the little ghost-hunter's room in the back, (seen in the Fenton Menace). It's also the one Fenton invention aside from the Thermos that takes the most abuse and has to be rebuilt frequently. So far, in just about every episode it appears, the RV gets damaged in some part or is outright destroyed. The most recent incident was in the episode Urban Jungle when it was torn in half by Undergrowth.
• Specter Speeder – A vehicle that has the ability to fly throughout the Ghost Zone, allowing people to enter the Ghost Zone without being harmed by the resident ghosts. Then again, since normal people cannot be touched by ghosts in the Ghost Zone, it's a moot point. The vehicle possesses various weapons and scanners that can detect Real World items. It can be used as an alternative vehicle instead of the Fenton RV, and is able to convert to an amphibious mode for underwater travel as well as fly in space. It was totaled in Kindred Spirits by Tucker's "no point" landing. Jack has plans to build a new one. In the video game version of Urban Jungle. they introduce the "Fenton Flier" which according to the game is the rebuilt Specter Speeder. The Speeder is indeed rebuilt by the time of Infinite Realms, but it is once again destroyed, this time by Skulker and several other ghosts in Phantom Planet.
• Emergency Ops Center - A special observatory built on the roof of the Fenton's house. The Ops Center can be reached through a secret elevator going from the master bedroom to inside the center's fridge. The center itself is heavily armed to defend the house from any sort of threat, whether it be armies of ghosts or determined government employees. The interior is also equipped with a radio center, weapon storage lockers, and even a guest bedroom. In especially dangerous emergencies, the Ops Center can detach itself from the roof and turn into a blimp by pressing a button hidden in the fridge, one that is easily missed if not for the "emergency ham" which is next to the button (put there so Jack wouldn't miss it). A second button under the ham itself streamlines the Ops Center into an ultrafast jet. On a humorous note, the Ops Center also has an autopilot which is an inflatable Jack Fenton figure, (the Auto-Jack) which spoofs the comedy movie Airplane!. The Ops Center, in jet form, was destroyed in Reality Trip when the Guys in White bombed it at the Florida Space Center, but Danny most likely rebuilt it when he used the Reality Gauntlet to undo Freakshow's damage.
• Fenton Ghost Peeler – A device designed by Jack and Maddie Fenton to encase its holder in body armor and gun that then fires a ray that when it hits its target (a ghost, or, in Million-Dollar Ghost, Mr. Lancer) it then peels it open like an onion, layer by layer (ectoplasmic layers, or layers of clothing). Jazz has used this on more than one occasion, notably to reveal Dark Danny. Sam uses it in Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island and Girl's Night Out.
• Fenton Stockades – A metal, coffin-like device with spikes inside, similar to an iron maiden, but apparently the spikes can be removed or do not work on humans. Its applications to ghost-hunting is unknown. Jack was stuck in there as punishment from Maddie for wanting to put the kids in there for not focusing on the test.
• Fenton Phones – First seen in Fanning the Flames, Fenton Phones serve both as a ghost noise filter (to prevent the wearer from falling under the influence of "ghost noise," such as Ember's song), and as walkie talkie "accessory" for Danny, Sam, and Tucker.
• Fenton Helmet – A remote control helmet Danny uses to play computer games (no known ghost hunting qualities, though it's doubtable it's purpose is actually *for* computer games). The technology of the Fenton Helmet is a possible fore-runner for the neural interface technology in the Ecto-Skeleton.
• Fenton Foamer – Ejects green ectoplasmic goo which clears an area full of ghosts. Most notably used in Fright Night.
• Fenton Genetic Lock – Closes the Fenton Portal until one of the Fentons puts his or her thumb on the pad, unlocking it. This particular piece of technology appeared for only one episode - 13 - and then promptly disappeared again. Apparently it's more convenient to just have an 'open/close' button next to the Portal itself. The Fenton Portal is also upgraded with a password for extra security measures. The password is "Open Sesame" and the Guys in White couldn't believe it was THAT simple.
• Fenton Ghost Shield - An ectoplasmically generated wall of energy that ghosts are unable to pass through, although it does not always harm them. It appears as a constantly flowing green waterfall and has been used to protect all of Amity Park, FentonWorks, and students eating lunch (a portable version on the Fenton RV which only lasts for 15 minutes). Danny has varying reactions to the Shield; in Public Enemies, he was unable to pass through the Shield whether as human or ghost. In later episodes, Danny is able to pass through the Ghost Shield in human form. When the Ghost Shield is stolen and put on Youngblood's pirate ship (Pirate Radio), Danny is unable to even transform into his ghost form while inside the Shield - the Shield electrocutes him. A variation on a ghost shield appears in Doctor's Disorders, one which electrocutes Danny when he tries to fly through it and is invisible to the naked eye. Danny is able to overcome this obstacle by becoming human, however. Vlad Masters had modified the shield to work on both humans and ghosts in Secret Weapons.
• Fenton Specter Deflector – A belt that repels and weakens any ghost that comes in direct contact of the person wearing it. When Danny comes into direct contact with anyone wearing the belt, whether ghostly or human, he is apparently electrocuted. Uses the same technology as the Fenton Ghost Shield. In fact, Jack had cannibalized the house's Ghost Shield to create the belt. It can also be used to weaken a half-ghost and disable some of their powers, such as duplicating their form, but the half-ghost must be wearing the belt. This was used most notably when Desiree made it as if Danny had never met Sam (in Memory Blank). The Specter Deflector was the only reason Sam knew that she had met Danny. Other instances was when Spectra, Ember and Kitty took over Amity Park and hypnotized all the females, except for Jazz and Sam, who were both wearing Specter Deflectors. Another note is that the effects of the Specter Deflector is similar to Blood Blossoms, in which Jack Fenton's ancestor, "John Fenton Nightingale," uses in his ghost-hunting and 'witch-wacking.'
• Jack o' Nine Tails – a Nine-Tail Whip, like a Cat o' nine tails only modified for ghost catching, with an image of Jack's face connecting the tails. When it connects with a ghost, its tails wrap around and electrocutes it. It can also form a spinning buzzsaw blade.
• Fenton Bazooka – Shoots a green substance into the air, which creates a temporary mini portal into the Ghost Zone that sucks in any nearby ghosts, whether or not they want to go. Used most notably in Public Enemies. Usually show as a more power ecto gun.
• Ecto-Skeleton – A battle suit that increases the user's natural ability by 100-fold. It has foot-thrusters in the soles, allowing the user to fly. Unfortunately the neural interface is glitchy and could be fatal, as it can absorb the user's life force energy. When Danny used it in his ghost form, he was able to transform the entire suit into ghost form, as it was connected directly to his brain. Its outer casing design altered to Danny Phantom's suit colors and logo. After Danny used it in a fight and was knocked unconscious, it was stolen by Vlad. In Secret Weapons, Vlad hires Skulker to steal various unrelated items to upgrade the Ecto-Skeleton, to remove its negative effects. He also forces Jazz to don the suit and battle Danny, after which they activate the self-destruct on it.
• Ecto-Exodus Alarm - This is a special sensor/alarm which goes off whenever the Real World is about to experience a massive ghost invasion.
• Fenton Booooo-merang – A boomerang that locks onto a ghost and hits them, though it was way beyond Maddie in figuring out why it locked onto Danny. It seemed to imprint itself on Danny and only go after him and no other ghost; not even his future self, probably because he is a fusion of the ghost-halves of Vlad and Danny. Apparently, it has an unlimited range, as it once tracked Danny for 10 years inside the Ghost Zone, and across several states. Sam calls it a "stupidly-named homing device."
• Ecto-Converter - It uses a ghost's energy as a power source, with apparently no regard for the ghost's safety. As far as Jack and Maddie are concerned, if they hear the ghost screaming, they'll know that the device is working. It was originally installed in the Fenton RV, until it was stolen by Skulker to be used in the Ecto-Skeleton. It was later destroyed along with the Ecto-Skeleton in Secret Weapons.
• Fenton Crammer - It can shrink/grow not only ghosts, but apparently humans and inanimate objects as well. Maddie Fenton suggested the name "Specter Shrinker", but Jack opposed saying, "That's what they'd EXPECT you to name it!" When a ghost is shrunk with it, their powers slowly diminish, and eventually are disabled completely until the ghost is returned to full size. Apparently the effect is not permanent since Skulker was able to return to normal size later on in the series.
• Fenton Works Anti-Creep Mode - By breaking a secret case behind a curtain and pressing a button on the wall, the entire Fenton Home's security system begins attacking anything and anyone with Ecto-Energy. This includes anyone armed with Ecto-Weaponry, and unfortunately Danny if he's in his ghost mode. The warning alarm goes off saying, "FentonWorks Anti-Creep Mode activated! Our special today is fudge... I mean, pain!" The various devices used to repel any spectral invaders include metal tentacles, anti-blast shields, grappler missiles, and metal pounders shaped to look like Jack and Maddie Fenton. This is a weak spot because they can't use any of their weapons while this is active.
• The Ecto-Dejecto - A serum Jack devised to weaken a ghost's power, but instead, it did the reverse, making it stronger, the serum was used by Danny to reform and stabilize Dani Phantom
• Fenton Flush - A lever on the ghost containment cell which literally flushes all ghosts inside of it back into the Ghost Zone through the Ghost Portal.
• Unnamed ATV Utility Vehicles - The Fenton Jet had two small ATV-like machines that could fly and hover. Sam and Tucker used these in Reality Trip to travel across the country with Danny.
• Unnamed Virtual Reality Helmet, Gloves and Boots - Used primarily for ghost-hunting training, though Jazz uses it for aerobic workouts to keep her heart rate up. It could, however, just be the Fenton Helmet.
• Unnamed Double-Bladed Lightsaber - Maddie used this weapon, a green double-bladed lightsaber similar to Darth Maul's, in Maternal Instincts to fight off Vlad's mutated ghost animals. It has not appeared since.
• Unnamed Cooking Gadget- In Attack of the Killer Garage Sale, Maddie tried to make hot dogs with a new gadget but it brought the sausages to life. Jazz mentioned how she had "put the Frank back in Frankenstein."
• Jumpsuits - Both Maddie and Jack are almost always wearing their blue and orange jumpsuits. Both outfits are equipped with retractable ecto-guns (seen in Control Freaks), and several pockets, which can hold other Fenton inventions like the Jack o'Nine Tails, the Fenton Fisher and so on. In Maddie's suit, she also wears a pair of goggles, which can fire off beams of energy at her targets, (seen in Maternal Instincts). Apparently, Jack starts to develop a skin rash if he's wearing something other than his jumpsuit. Jack has the same red goggles that Maddie is seen wearing but prefers not to wear them. They have also made jumpsuits for Danny and Jazz. Danny's is a white and black jumpsuit which after his accident becomes his costume with colors reversed. Jazz's however is similar to Jack's as he hoped she'd be as he put it "swimming in my end of the gene pool". As such she wears of her mother's in Maternal Instincts since they are the same size.
• Fenton Wrist Rays - Only seen in Claw of the Wild. A wrist-mounted ectoplasmic energy ray weapon courtesy of Danny's "unsuspecting Dad". It quickly became a favourite of Sam's--who called it "the perfect accessory... of pain".
• Wraith Wrangler - A lariat that can snare ghosts, much like the Fenton Fisher, but is much thicker and harder to break. Maddie uses this to capture all ghosts that Jack accidentally makes stronger.
• Ecto-Stoppo-Power-Erfier - Jack could have come up with a better name for this cannon that fires a blast that gradually removes a ghost's powers. When used on Danny and Amorpho, they were unable to transform and slowly began to lose all of their abilities.
• Fenton Rocket - A spacecraft designed by Maddie and Jack, but funded and built by Vlad Masters to deal with an asteroid that was threatening the Earth. It is equipped with asteroid-busting drill missiles, which Vlad intentionally sabotaged to make Jack look foolish and Vlad a hero. However, his plan backfired when he couldn't use his ghost powers to make the asteroid intangible. When last seen, Jack abandoned his former friend and rocketed away, leaving Vlad to wander throughout space forever.

There are also an assortment of minor inventions the Fentons have created to help make their lives more comfortable (or interesting) that include, among other things:

• Fenton Urinal – Not much more than a toilet.
• Fenton Unlodger – A device that gets objects unstuck.
• Fenton "Anti-Creep Stick"/Fenton Bat - A baseball bat with the word "Fenton" on it. Even Jack's unsure about it's practicality, (though he did think it was "hot"). It's also the only non-technical invention that has been seen more than once.
• Fenton Machete – A Jungle Sword/Machete.
• Fenton Wipe – Toilet paper with Jack Fenton's face imprinted onto every square.
• Fenton Ointment – Basically a plain tube of ointment with the word "Fenton" on it, or as Jack says,"Oh boy, Fointment!"
• Fenton Earplugs - Regular ear plugs.
• Fenton Towel - A regular towel with the Fenton logo on it.
• Fenton Jerky - A piece of jerky.
• Action Figures - Action figures of Jack and a ghost, he plans on making one of Jazz.
• Fento Bismol - Jack's own recipe for heartburn, upset stomach, indigestion, nausea, and diarrhea. This is a direct reference to Pepto-Bismol which cures all those ailments too .
• Jack Fenton Toast & Toaster - A toaster shaped like Jack's head that toasts bread shaped like Jack. He likes to eat his toast with Jack Fenton Butter with Jack Fenton Flavor. Many characters of the show such as Danny and his friends, have eaten the toast, not exactly sure why they were doing so.

Note: Some of these items have only been mentioned, never seen.
