Unfortunately, since Danny is half-ghost himself, many of the same tools he uses to fight and capture ghosts can also be used against him in combat. There’s also an extraterrestrial material called Ecto-Ranium which is essentially kryptonite for ghosts. Coming into contact with Ecto-Ranium could incapacitate Danny.

The Fight
So in a fight between Jenny Wakeman and Danny Phantom, who would be the victor? First off, it’s important to note that Danny Phantom has a great deal of experience in fighting against robotic enemies like Technus and Skulker for example, so he should be well aware of at least some of Jenny’s weaknesses. On the flip note, Jenny also has her sensory tech to hone in on invisible enemies like Infrared Ivan, thus rendering Danny’s invisibility power useless.
In terms of raw strength, speed, senses, and more, XJ-9 has a clear advantage; however the ghost boy also has some abilities that would level the playing field. Danny’s intangibility power for instance could put a serious damper on most of Jenny’s arsenal. The ghost kid can also use his duplication ability to throw off the teenage robot in any number of ways.
One of Danny’s most iconic abilities is the ectoplasmic rays and bolts he shoots from his hands. Depending on how he uses them, our friendly neighborhood ghost boy just might be able to tear through Jenny’s armor like a butter-knife assuming he can hit his target. With her speed and agility, however, XJ-9 should be able to avoid getting hit with little challenge. Danny could switch over to his ice power to slow down his opponent, but even this may not be enough given Jenny’s incredible strength.
One surefire way for Jenny to win against the ghost kid would require the use of Ecto-Ranium. The only problem of course is that Ecto-Ranium is a rare element found in space and would be very difficult to find, so if Jenny failed to hit her target, she would’ve wasted ammo for nothing. Even if she did manage to hit her target, our boy Danny could’ve easily used a duplicate as a decoy.
Jenny could use Danny’s own ghost gadgets against him if she wanted to play it smart, but she would need to get in very close and pickpocket Danny in order to pull that off. In a reverse scenario, Jenny’s opponent could use her many weaknesses against her in the same way. These include water, fire, electricity, and hacking. Each of these options could be used from a safe distance. Since Jenny’s weaknesses are easier to gain access to and exploit, Danny’s chances of winning are far better in this respect.
RESULT: DANNY PHANTOM WINS! Here’s Why:

Relying on these characters’ weaknesses alone, Danny could probably defeat Jenny in a snap. Even without said weaknesses, no matter what Jenny does to incapacitate her opponent, Danny could easily use a duplicate to throw her off, which would then leave Jenny wide open for a surprise attack. At which point, Danny could either use his ghostly wail power to finish her off, or use his ghostly possession ability to possess Jenny’s body and destroy it from the inside, but here’s the kicker. It wouldn’t be the first time that Jenny’s body got taken over, or even the most embarrassing time this happened, since at one point XJ-9’s body got stolen by a swarm of rats.
