Skulktech 9.9 is the combination of Skulker and Technus from the alternate future seen in "The Ultimate Enemy." He is a minor antagonist sent back in time by Clockwork.
History[]
"The Ultimate Enemy"[]
After Danny accidentally steals the answers to the C.A.T. and is about to look at them, Clockwork sends Skulktech 9.9 to force Danny to change his mind.
Skulktech and Danny fight, which ends when Tucker hacks into Skulktech's system. Skulktech's time medallion falls off and they, Danny, Sam, and Tucker are all sent to Clockwork's lair. Before Tucker could hack his suit even more, Clockwork sent Skultech back to his own time.
Skulktech 9.9 is later seen among the ghosts Danny encounters in the Ghost Zone after being banished there by his evil future self.
They join the others in taking revenge on Danny until their actions frustrate Danny to the point that he develops the Ghostly Wail. Skulktech 9.9 was scared by this sight and is seen floating around unconscious by the attack.
Phantom Planet[]
Skulktech 9.9 appears one more time at the end of the series finale, "Phantom Planet," helping Danny and the other ghosts to save the Earth.
This is most likely an error, as the alternate future seen in "The Ultimate Enemy" was averted, they would not exist at this time, and Skulker and Technus both appear in this scene as well.
Appearance[]
Skulktech 9.9 normally wears a weaponized robotic suit. In this form, he has electric green eyes, his head armor is made up of a ghostly electric green fire, and jagged teeth. The skin of his suit is black and dark gray with glowing green circuit patterns all over it and his arms have metal seams. He wears dark gray shoulder guards on his shoulders. A face of Technus on the chest, that looks similar to Technus's battlesuit from “Attack of the Killer Garage Sale”.
Two green tubes attached to a mechanical backpack-like unit. Skulktech 9.9 also wears dark gray gauntlets that have technological features in the wrists, along with a gray utility belt that has a green "ST" on the buckle. He has a ghostly green tail.
Relationships[]
Dark Danny/Danny Phantom[]
Not much has been shown of their relationship with Dark Danny, though it is clear that they fear and hate him. Since Skulker used machinery for fighting and to hide his true form and Technus used machinery for strength, they figured if they combined they could become more powerful against their nemesis. Since Danny Phantom is the past version of Dan and their longtime enemy from the past, they see destroying younger Danny as a means of destroying Dan forever and change the future for their own goals. They view him as no different from his counterpart stating that he always brings destruction to everyone he comes across, including them and his friends and family. Along with the ghost comrades they intended to destroy him however, they arrogantly underestimated Danny when the latter unlock the ability to use the Ghostly Wail and defeated them.
Powers and Weakness[]
Skulktech 9.9 has the combined powers of Skulker and Technus. He possibly has Technopathy like Technus to manipulate the very suit and make it have ton of capabilities. Among these were shown:
- Standard ghost powers: Skultktech has the standard ghost powers that include Intangibility, Invisibility and Flight. They use their jetpack for propulsion and to increase their speed. They also have a rocket thruster underneath where their ghost tail is to fly at an incredible rate. They can turn intangible to pass through objects and turn invisible to be unseen by others.
- Supernatural Strength and Durability: Skultktech is stronger and more durable than Skulker and Technus were alone. However, even with their combined power it wasn't enough against Danny's Ghostly Wail. Their armor was shown to be severely damaged by it.
- Ghost Ray: Skulktech has palm blasters that can fire blue ghost rays,
- Phantom Palm Pummeler: A special ghost ray designed by Technus and their signature attack to briefly short-out Danny's ghost powers. (It seems to actually weaken it instead as he still had green eyes in human form after they blasted him with it or this could be an error). It doesn't work on Dark Danny as he's too strong and powerful or because he is a full-ghost, but it works on Danny and possibly other full-ghost and half-ghosts.
Weaknesses[]
- Hacking: Like Skulker before, Skulktech can still be hacked, despite fusing with Technus, the Master of all Technology. Tucker exploited this weakness to try to force him to be bound by the schedule Tucker set and used against Skulker in "One of a Kind," which Skulktech countered with their "Purpleback Gorilla Override" program.
