Immortality, also known as Eternal Life and Eternal Youth, is the ability to possess a possibly infinite lifespan and protects ghosts from a natural death (though they may still be killed through unnatural means).
Overview/Capabilities[]
It affords the user immunity to the effects of aging and diseases, thereby granting the ability of outliving humans. Immortality does not mean the ghost is invulnerable, as they can still obtain wounds, such as cuts and bruises. Furthermore, these ghosts are either immune to aging or at least age at a much slower rate than humans. Ghosts with this ability cannot be killed through natural means but can still die through unnatural means.
Supernatural Durability[]
Additionally, ghosts also possess a supernatural durability, thus they are able to withstand physical and/or ghostly harm that would otherwise be lethal. It also grants beings protection against the effects of their own powers.
Healing Factor[]
Additionally, ghosts also possess an accelerated healing factor, thus they are able to heal from physical and/or ghostly injuries that would hurt a normal human. It also grants beings protection against the effects of their own powers.

Trivia[]
- It is worth noting that "immortality" in the world of Danny Phantom is not necessarily a full immunity to death as it is still possible for a ghost to be destroyed completely though this is considered a rare occurrence and extremely difficult to accomplish.
- It is unclear if half-ghosts such as Danny and Vlad also possess immortality, as they are still half-human. However, they do possess every other common ghostly power, so it is not implausible.
