During all of his appearances, the Flying Dutchman proves to be anything but a "friendly ghost." Though his role in the series is to be the devil of the sea, he constantly varies from a sea demon to a restless soul or even as a psychopompic judge to the dead, the Flying Dutchman has been consistently shown to be gruff, malicious and even downright sadistic, scaring people and stealing their souls out simply for fun, and in his first full appearance, he attempted to steal the souls of everyone in the [[Krusty Krab]] simply because SpongeBob's ridiculous costume as the "Flying Dutchman" was the ultimate insult to his image. The latter trait shows that he's extremely prideful.

Though The Flying Dutchman's skills vary from episode to episode, he has been consistently capable to levitate, and teleport in a cloud of smoke preceded by a storm.

However, of all his incarnations, his most "frightening" appearance was in "[[Ghost Host]]," where he was able to shape shift into numerous horrific forms and warped reality effortlessly. Ever since he had been stealing souls and devouring them, there's no approximate limit to how much he can empower himself, and this is what caused him to reach into godhood over the years. The only limitation to his powers regards his ghost tail. Despite being a champion in looping for centuries, he has long forgotten how to tie his shoes and it's later shown that he can't eat without his "dining sock."

Despite being a champion in looping for centuries, he has long forgotten how to tie his shoes and it's later shown that he can't eat without his "dining sock."


His most powerful and dangerous ability, though, was seen in "[[Ghoul Fools]]," in which he pulled out one of his eyes and transformed into an atomic bomb, after which he launched himself into the ground. The blast from this attack was so powerful that everyone caught within the blast radius was sent to the Void.
But the most powerful thing he can do is seen in [[Ghoul Fools]], he takes out one of his eyes and transforms into an atomic bomb, the nuclear power of this attack is so powerful that the explosion will send the victims to the void, but this can also kill him despite him being a ghost, because he isn't seen in any other episode after this. This means that it is a one-time occurrence.

Personality

File:Holandy.png

During all of his appearances, the Flying Dutchman proves to be anything but a "friendly ghost." Though his role in the series is to be the devil of the sea, constantly varies from a sea demon to a restless soul or even as a psychopompic judge to the dead, the Flying Dutchman has been consistently shown to be gruff, malicious and even downright sadistic, scaring people and stealing their souls out simply for fun, and in his first full appearance, he attempted to steal the souls of everyone in the Krusty Krab simply because SpongeBob's ridiculous costume as the "Flying Dutchman" was the ultimate insult to his image. The latter trait shows that he's extremely prideful.

Despite his antisocial behavior and malevolence, the Flying Dutchman isn't pure evil or without companionship.

He has a number of ghost friends[1] and has the capability to bond with other people in case they have the same interests or objectives[1][2] (mostly SpongeBob). He is also a notorious womanizer,[1][3] with not even mortal women being free from his teasers (though the former episode implies that he's divorced). While the Flying Dutchman takes strong delight in scaring people, he doesn't live exclusively to haunt mortals, having sometimes tormented them only out of boredom (scaring SpongeBob for months to wait for his ship to be fully repaired), or otherwise because someone provoked him.[3][4] Although, he is no saint, the Flying Dutchman has a strong sense of justice and has been known to award people for good deeds done towards him [5] or to punish wicked souls (taking his role as a Psychopomp very seriously[6]), and has been known to keep promises as seen in "Shanghaied," when he grants three wishes to SpongeBob and the gang in exchange for his sock.

Powers and abilities

The Flying Dutchman is shown to be one of the most powerful supernatural beings in the ocean, rivaling King Neptune. Though The Flying Dutchman's skills vary from episode to episode, he has been consistently capable to levitate, and teleport in a cloud of smoke preceded by a storm. In his first appearance, he is shown to be capable of stealing souls and fire-breathing through his nose. He has also shown to be capable of opening dimensional portals to banish his enemies.[7][8] He has shown to be capable of manipulating matter (even turning SpongeBob and Patrick into ghosts[3] and making objects appear out of thin air) and grant wishes.[7][9]

However, of all his incarnations, his most "frightening" appearance was in "Ghost Host," where he was able to shape shift into numerous horrific forms and warped reality effortlessly. The only limitation to his powers regards his ghost tail. Despite being a champion in looping for centuries, he has long forgotten how to tie his shoes and it's later shown that he can't eat without his "dining sock."

But the most powerful thing he can do is seen in Ghoul Fools, he takes out one of his eyes and transforms into an atomic bomb, the nuclear power of this attack is so powerful that the explosion will send the victims to the void, but this can also kill him despite him being a ghost, because he isn't seen in any other episode after this. This means that it is a one-time occurrence.

Video games

The Flying Dutchman makes appearances in nearly all SpongeBob video games. His first appearance was in the very first SpongeBob video game, Legend of the Lost Spatula as the final boss. He also appears as a boss in SuperSponge and as an enemy in SpongeBob SquarePants: Operation Krabby Patty. He appears in The Yellow Avenger, he is in Rock Bottom and gives SpongeBob a mission to find his 3 keys for him.

He is the main antagonist of Revenge of the Flying Dutchman And Dutchman's Dash. In Nicktoons Unite, The Flying Dutchman plots to make the Nicktoons heroes his new crew, but releases them when they find his old crew.

In SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis, The Flying Dutchman's head appears in the Bikini Bottom Museum as an object SpongeBob must photograph.

The Flying Dutchman appears in Nicktoons MLB as a playable character. He makes a cameo in Nicktoons Freeze Frame Frenzy as an out of place character you must photograph. In Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition, the Flying Dutchman has been tricked by Doodle Patrick into thinking that SpongeBob, Squidward, Patrick, and DoodlePants were his enemies. But when Doodle Patrick takes control of his ship, he realizes he's been tricked and relies on DoodlePants to stop him. He also appears as a mini-boss in the game Battle for Bikini Bottom where the player plays in his ship, trying to find socks.

Although he does not appear, a level called "Dutchman's Triangle," which is named after him, appears in Plankton's Robotic Revenge.
