Mortal Kombat: Ranking Every Guest Character
3. Freddy Krueger
Freddy Kreuger marked one of the first MK guest characters ever, and he was perfect. Coming off the heels of Kratos appearing in the PS3-exclusive version of Mortal Kombat, Freddy Kreuger was a no-brainer for the evil geniuses at NeatherRealm.
As stated by Creative Director Ed Boon himself, of all the possibilities at the time, Freddy made the most sense: "A number of names were run by us: Jason, Michael Myers and all those guys. Freddy Kreuger, we felt, was the most instantly recognisable and he fits in with Mortal Kombat with his claws. It just seemed like the best fit."
Kreuger's moves centred around his signature claw glove, which he used to slash opponents, toss at opponents, or send scurrying toward the opponent on the ground - like Thing from The Addam's Family. Freddy also utilised his Hellish abilities to teleport, drop green slime onto enemies, and, finally, drag them to hell with his Fatality.
With his signature look, attacks, and voice, Freddy fit like a glove in MK - pun intended. We'd love to see the nightmare return for MK11.
