I've been having this idea where people believe that Captain Marvel accidentally killed Danny Phantom. I imagine Danny with Lichtenberg scars in his ghost form, and Phantom is a hero who occasionally helps Shazam. But through their sarcastic banter and sharp jokes, people start theorizing that they were once a couple — spinning a story where a young Captain Marvel lost control of his powers and caused Phantom's death. I picture the Justice League feeling sorry for Captain Marvel, which just fuels a whole mess of misunderstandings.
Nobody knows what connects Captain Marvel and the Phantom. The Phantom suddenly appeared in the world of heroes. And he immediately found a common language with Marvel. And you know, it felt like there was a slight tension between these two. Nobody knows the reason. But there is one guess.
Captain Marvel is somehow connected to the death of the Phantom.
This theory was put forward by one person on the Internet when he posted a video that he accidentally filmed.
Apparently, the Phantom and Marvel were clearly arguing about something.
Phantom: They still hurt.
Marvel: It was a long time ago. We already discussed this.
Phantom: You are to blame for everything.
Marvel: Phantom, please, not now.
(Billy and Danny had a play fight where Billy landed a few good punches on Danny. The bruises still hurt, but it's Danny's pride that hurts.)
Everyone saw Lichtenberg's scars on the Phantom. The ghost himself said that lightning was the cause of his death. Maybe when Marvel was young enough, he accidentally pierced the Phantom with his lightning and killed him? And the Phantom became a restless spirit that wanted revenge on Marvel?
The theory about a vengeful spirit was rejected by another user who posted another video filmed in the middle of the battlefield.
Marvel was lying on the ground while the Phantom protected him from various attacks. The ghost's face was distorted with righteous anger. It was immediately clear that the Phantom was protecting Marvel. No one could miss how the Phantom went limp in relief when Marvel stood up with difficulty.
Maybe the Phantom and Marvel were in love with each other when the incident happened? And the Phantom remained restless because of his love for Marvel? That sounded more plausible.
The League of course sees all these theories. Everyone immediately starts remembering all the interactions between Marvel and the Phantom. And everyone could remember at least one interaction that could confirm that theory from the Internet.
The Flash caught the Phantom yelling at Marvel.
Phantom: I trusted you! And you betrayed me! Of all people! It's because of Dan, right?!
Marvel: Calm down, you're just jealous...
Phantom: I'm not jealous!!
Batman saw this conversation on the camera footage.
Marvel: I can't help it. You're a ghost. Ghosts don't eat.
Phantom: Neither did the Champion, but you eat.
Marvel: The perks of being alive.
Marvel: I know you love me.
Phantom: I'm sorry, just so you know. You're my biggest mistake.
Marvel: Your whole life is a huge mistake.
Diana didn't mean to eavesdrop. But it was an accident.
Phantom: It's not your fault.
Phantom: Look at me. I'm not mad at you.
Phantom: I chose to do this.
Clark heard this because of his super hearing. And honestly, he doesn't know what to say.
Marvel: Don't be dramatic.
Phantom: I'm not being dramatic! You're to blame for my fucking death!
Marvel: It was an accident!
Phantom: I could have achieved so much! And you literally took everything from me!
Marvel: Are you still mad?! It was a long time ago!!
After that, everyone looks at Marvel with some pity. Especially when Phantom is around. This worries Billy a little. He notices how his colleagues look at him when he talks to Danny.
Danny also gets weird questions:
How long have you known Marvel?
You're not getting back at him, are you?
He was inexperienced, you know?
But things got worse when Pharaoh, Phantom's friend (yes, Tucker became a hero and he does everything for the sake of chaos) said something during his interview.
Pharaoh: I swear. One moment they're inseparable, the next they want to rip their throats out. Phantom remembers the past. It's affecting Marvel, because he's changed and more experienced, you know. I'm not going to lie, I was there when it happened. It was terrifying.
It blew up the internet. Everyone was talking about it. Danny and Billy, meanwhile, weren't sure what the hell Tucker was saying.
