10 Mind-Blowing Times Horror Icons Fought Superheroes
2. Doctor Strange Vs Freddy Krueger
Of all the 'superhero versus some nightmare-inducing horror character' fights out there, the one between Doctor Strange and Freddy Krueger is perhaps the most normal-seeming.
After all, Strange fights paranormal beings pretty much on the daily, so a man who hunts you in your dreams is just another day at the office for the Sorcerer Supreme.
That isn’t to say the fight doesn’t have its weird aspects, however. For presumably copyright reasons Krueger is never explicitly named, but given his appearance in a horror film earlier in the comic, as well as his very, very distinctive appearance, it’s not difficult to guess who it’s supposed to be.
In the end, the whole thing turns out to be one of Strange’s enemies using the film as a conduit to mess with him, which is actually a fairly smart way to have a random horror star show up in your comic.
