Freddy Krueger (Mortal Kombat)

==Summary==
Freddy Krueger is a guest character introduced in Mortal Kombat (2011) as a crossover with the popular franchise A Nightmare on Elm Street. An evil spirit who haunts the living in their nightmares, Freddy saw his reign of terror endangered when Shao Kahn invaded Earthrealm and claimed humankind's souls as his own. Freddy went to confront the tyrant, but was unexpectedly overpowered by his will and dragged into the real world, where he was mortal.
Defeated but not discouraged, Freddy departed to exact his revenge. He eventually managed to defeat and slay Shao Kahn, thus becoming the unlikely savior of the world. Still seen as a threat, Freddy was sent back to the Dream World by Nightwolf, unaware that it was exactly what the demon wanted.
