Danny's alter ego is still called Phantom here cause he's so elusive that no cop has ever been able to catch him. Just like in the original show Sam was the one to put Danny up to it in the first place cause she's a rebellious authority-hater already. Tucker is still a tech geek but more interested in pirate/HAM radio (though he's still able to lend tech skills to Danny that let him bypass security systems & the like for more ~cool tagging spots~). All the ghosts are members of different Rudie gangs.

Sorry to all those Fenton parent likers out there but in this AU they're cops. it just makes too much sense. Them being cops is also what gives Danny an advantage to evading the law (all he has to do is listen in on his parents for any sting/ambush ops they're a part of. Also his parents are just as lax about safety as they are in the show so they leave confidential paperwork all over the place all the time). Vlad 10000% fits the Rokkaku Group stand-in & he actually does have some supernatural powers here due to the influence of the Devil's Record.
