"The Ultimate Enemy" from Dan's view is hilarious

You're in your mid-twenties, thriving, successful, shredded,

and then your 14 year old self materializes out of nowhere specifically to kick your ass

Thinking about how TUE has really nonsensical writing choices in terms of literal plotlines and the only thing carrying is style, tone, and some characterization. It's an impressively weird balance that made it the perfect springboard for A Glitch in Time and ensuing graphic novel series (hopefully they can transition to shorter comics after Fair Game, I get why there'd be a whole graphic novel dedicated to re establishing the baseline)

I thought about future Danny after the Nasty Burger incident but before he turns into Dark Danny. Mostly about the reveal of his transformation because I realised I could put so much body horror in it, alot of it even metaphorical/spiritual which I find more intriguing than the gory one.

For context:

My version of Dark Danny doesn't involve the stupid fusion with Vlad's ghost half. Furthermore ghost halves physically resemble the mental state of their human, the more mentally stressed the human is the more monsterous the ghost half looks. So Dark Danny will be more of an extension of Danny's grief. But what about his human half?

Well, I thought about the option of just leaving them connected, but what if thats not quiet the case? What if Vlad didnt actually remove the ghost half but instead Danny got more and more poisoned by his feelings taking the form of a crypted thing inside of him, his grief eating away at him until the ghost half broke free on it's own, looking way more monsterous, decaying than ever before.

The fact that most of this would be recounted by an older Vlad would make this even more horrifying as a humans reaction can often carry more emotions than the actual thing.

In short: i might want to make 'the ultimate enemy' even more fucked up
