Vlad Plasmius is the main villain in the animated series Danny Phantom. He is also notable for being Vladdy, V-Man and Vladimir "Vlad" Masters (alter ego). He portrays a manipulative character that is very clever yet cruel in his methods. He never gives up, even when he faces defeat. Moreover, he lusts over Maddie and works desperately to bring in Danny as his son and protégé. He has about 20 years experience when it comes to power developing which is evidently better than Danny's techniques. But although his skills are highly developed, he lacks Danny's Ghostly Wail ability.
