Danny Núñez (born 26 February 1996), also known as Green Panther is a student at Xavier and a skilled martial artist (most likely a Kung Fu master) who gains powers from a mysterious green panther spirit after a ritual gone wrong. He is a loyal friend of Jake Thompson and the rest of the Justice Avengers.
Appearance
He is a tall half Chilean, half Honduran young man of medium height and athletic build, with dark hair and brown eyes. His casual outfit typically consists of a green tank top, black athletic shorts, and sneakers.
As Green Panther, Danny wears a sleek green suit with black accents that resemble a panther's pattern. His outfit includes a hood and a mask that covers his face, enhancing his stealth abilities.
Personality
Danny is energetic, brave, and a natural leader. He has a strong sense of justice and is always willing to protect his friends. He can be a bit impulsive and competitive, but he is also thoughtful and strategic when it matters. His playful banter with the team adds a light-hearted dynamic to their missions.
Throughout the series, Danny is shown to be pretty chill, but instead of choosing between being chill Latino surfer dude and zen like focused type of chill, he is a combination of both. Because ever since he's met Master Shen, he's been learning to keep his personality in balance.
Like Dennis, he also comes from a rich family, but unlike Dennis, who has both parents always not around, he has his dad always gone on business trips, but his mom is always around. Despite his energetic and light hearted exterior, Danny wasn't always like that. Before he became Green Panther, he looked like a typical spoiled rich kid, which made it difficult for him to make any friends, even though he wasn't like that. His father wanted him to take over the business one day, but as stubborn as he is, Danny wanted to follow his own path. After meeting Master Shen and training under his guidance, even though he was still impulsive and stubborn, he also developed some disciplined and honorable traits.
