From the article: Freddy Krueger's Biography and Render Freddy Krueger's Biography and Render have been released on The Official Mortal Kombat Website. The Biography even goes into detail on how and why Freddy has two razor gloves instead of one. A detail that has been preventing fans from going to sleep ever since the character was announced:  Biography: A malevolent spirit of the Dream Realm, Freddy Krueger preys on the souls of the living as they sleep. When Shao Kahn began to steal Earthrealm's souls - souls Freddy considered his own - Freddy battled the emperor in the Dream Realm. But Shao Kahn's will was too strong. He pulled Freddy into the real world, where he was mortal, and defeated him. A badly injured yet determined Freddy fitted both his hands with demonically enhanced razor gloves. Once he has killed Shao Kahn he will find a way back to the Dream Realm, where he will torment Earthrealm's souls for eternity. Freddy Krueger is the 4th and currently last DLC Kharacter for Mortal Kombat 9 and will be available on August 9th, 2011. Have you missed Freddy Krueger's announcement trailer?
