Freddy Kruger vs Captain America

Beginning Analysis: What happens when pop icons from the worlds of horror & comic books go head to head? Read on to see who...is...deadliest!?

Freddy Kruger Quick Bio
There has never been a horror character for hated, yet liked, than Freddy Kruger. Released in 1984, A Nightmare on Elm Street showed the origins of Fred Kruger, a child killer who lurked in the town of Springwood. He killed children that appealed to him, but was eventually caught and put on trial. Due to a mistake in the evidence he was set free, but this turned into a opportunity for the parents who's children had died. They followed him back to the abandoned factory where he lurked after his kills, and set the place aflame. Before he could be killed by the fire, spirits from hell came to him, and offered him a deal. At that moment, he became Freddy Kruger, a malevolent spirit that killed people in their dreams as well as real life.

Captain America Quick Bio
First printed in March 1941, Captain America tells the tail of Steve Rogers, a young Irish American who wanted to join the United States military to stop the spread of the Third Reich. The one thing that prevented him from joining was his rather weak body, and just about every recruiter he came across wrote him off as being worthless. The only person who saw past his body, and into his heart, was Dr. Josef Reinstein, a German scientist that escaped the reich, and joined the U.S. government. Rogers was chosen as a candidate for a project to create a breed of super soldiers. He went through the tests, and came out as Captain America, a patriotic superhero who defends the concepts of liberty, justice, and the American way.

Captain America Weapons
Short Range: Super Strength Punches & Kicks
Medium Range: Throwing Shield
Special: Colt M1911 Pistol
Special Quality: Enhanced Human Body & American Uniform

Who Got the Edge
Clawed Glove vs Super Strength Punches & Kicks: Both get the edge. Freddy's glove is razor sharp, capable of cutting through numerious materials & human bodies. While it may take a little bit to get through the scale armor underneath Captain America's uniform, the Clawed Glove will easily cut through the fabric of said uniform. As for Captain America's punches & kicks, they are on the level of superhuman. He can destroy any wall or barricade in from of him with just a single punch or kick, and any bad guy that's in front of him will get taken out (usually) in a single shot.
Telekinesis vs Throwing Shield: Freddy Kruger's Telekinesis gets the edge. Simply put, if the shield if flying through the air, Freddy can just take control of it, and throw it right back at Captain America to hurt him, or use the shield to block incoming bullets from the M1911.
Nightmares & Illusions vs Colt M1911 Pistol: Freddy Kruger's Nightmares & Illusions get the edge. Within the dream world, Freddy's power is unmatched by anybody. He can do anything with a person's fears, and even Captain America has a thing or two that he's afraid of. With his pistol, he can definately put a couple rounds in, but only while he's in the real world.
Demonically-Charged Human Body & Scorched Skin vs Enhanced Human Body & American Uniform: Both get the edge. Freddy's body is coursing with energy from hell, and this allows him to have godlike powers within the dream world, and fairly impressive capabilities in the real world. On top of his powers, his flame-scarred body can make lesser individuals sick to their stomachs, and is highly recognizable. As for Captain America, his body is infused with a serum that has enhanced his body. He can't get drunk, he can perform physical activities and get tired much later than a normal person, and a host of other small abilities. In regards to his uniform, it is a symbol of America as well as being incredibly defensive.

Common Quality
Pop Culture Legends: Both Freddy Kruger & Captain America are legends in their respective worlds. Freddy Kruger was the star of one of the most iconic horror films ever made. To this day, A Nightmare on Elm Street is still high on the list of horror fans's favorite films. With Captain America, he represents one of comic's most oldest superheroes. He's gone through numerous transfomations and story arc, yet he still remains true to justice and the American way.

Setup
It was cold in the arctic. Not the normal kind of cold that would freeze your ass off, but more of a soul-numbing kind of cold. Buried in this frozen landscape was a plane that noone had ever seen before. Earlier, Captain America, dashing hero of the United States, had battled the infamous Red Skull in this aircraft. When his foe was defeated, the good captain realized that the craft was two damaged to make a safe landing, and not have the ordinance on board explode. So, in a moment of self sacrifice, he sent the plane right down into the arctic, with the weapons safely unexploded.
He was now trapped in the aircraft, frozen and in a comatose state. He was still alive, but he was asleep for all eternity. Little did Captain America know, that he was now in battle with one of the most powerful forces of evil that has ever crossed this world.
Captain America suddenly woke up in the middle of Times Square, but it was not the place that he knew. The buildings were all damage, and some of them were even toppled over, leaving piles of rubble in the streets. The air wasn't warm and inviting, but it was cold and it felt...unnatural. The vibe of the place was that of abandonment, and not of unity.
"What has happened to this place?" aske Captain America, who was still stunned by all he saw. Dark, terrible laughter began eminating all around him. Quickly, the captain drew his pistol, and pointed it to where he thought the laughing was coming from. "Where are you!?" the captain yelled. "Show yourself!!"
The laughing finally stopped, and Captain America then heard footsteps coming towards him. He still waved his pistol around, trying to find who was walking towards him. Just then, his gun was suddenly pulled out of his hands, and few into the street. Just then, the captain finally came into contact with perhaps the single most hideous individual to have ever existed. "Here I am, he he he." the person said.
"What happened here?" asked the Captain. "For that matter, who are you?"
The individual took of his hat, revealing more scorched skin. "The name's Freddy." the person said. "As for what happened here, well...All I'm going to say is that this place went kablooie!"
"What?" asked the captain, who sounded more confused than before.
Freddy cleared his raspy throat. "You lost. America lost. Everybody Lost."
At first the captain was confused, but after a few second he came to a shocking conclusion.
"We lost the war!?" he asked in a shocked tone.
Freddy snapped his fingers. "Bingo!" he yelled. "Since you were so distracted with that ole mustache guy, you didn't even notice the other guys that snuck in and had some fun."
"If that's the case, then what am I doing here?" The captain asked.
"Because you're Captain America!" Freddy yelled. "You're the sweetheart of the red, white, and blue, and you're all that this great land stands for. Oh, and you're dead and in Hell."
"What?" asked the Captain.
Freddy gave himself a palm to the forehead. "You need to clean the wax out of your ears." he said. "I just said you died, and you're in hell!"
"Why am I here?" The captain asked, sounding more nervous than confused.
Freddy laughed. "One, you failed at your job. Two...actually, I don't know if there's a two. Actually, I'm glad you're here."
"You're glad I'm here?" Asked the captain. "Why?"
"So I can kill you!" yelled Freddy. He immediately lunged right at the captain, trying to gain a hit on his throat. The captain raised his shield, and was greeted by a barrage of attacks. He swung his shield to knock Freddy away, and sent them into one of the numerous piles of rubble. As his opponent was getting up, the captain managed to get a look at his shield. There were scratches all over, and some of them actually went in deep. He looked back, and saw that Freddy has disappeared. He walked over to where his pistol had been knocked to, picked it back, and started walking around to look for Freddy.
The captain was walking around, when all of a sudden, a white flash of light came over his eyes, and he awoke to find that he was back inside the ruined aircraft. I guess the wind woke me up, the captain said. He got out of the seat that allowed him to pilot the ship, and started looking around. The whole place was a mess. Ice and snow were falling through holes in the roof of the craft, and a icy wind was blowing through the entire place. Captain America was about to start wandering through the aircraft, when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around, and was greeted by a familiar face.
Freddy waved, and gave a demented smile. "Miss me?" he asked, all the while giving Captain America a headbutt. The captain fell right over a railing, and almost hit his head in the process. Freddy jumped right over to carve the captain up, when he was greeted by a punch to the face. Freddy flew into the wall, then had two bullets enter his chest. Captain America rose right up, and aimed his pistol at Freddy's head.
"Hey captain." said a heavily breathing Freddy. "You might want to look behind you."
Captain America turned around, and saw his shield floating in midair. The shield swung at his head, and created a satisfying kabang. The captain fell right to the ground, and his pistol promptly fell through one of the cracks of the aircraft's floor, and became buried by the snow.
Freddy got up from the group, and walked right over to the captain's unconscious body. "Well. well." said Freddy as he was stroking his chin. "I think now's a good time to see what the old captain's dreaming of. To the people that are reading this, you might want to stop right here, cause things might get a bit messy. HA HA!"
Freddy jumped right into Captain America's head, and immediately appeared back in the middle of a illusion-free Times Square. "Woah, this ain't what I expected." said Freddy. "Kiddies, I think your pal Freddy might be a bit over his head...or somebody else's."
Freddy began walking through the crowds of people, who were completely unaware of his presence. After a few minutes of walking, he arrived at the front entrance of an apartment building, where he could feel the presence of someone very familiar to him.
"Kids, this is where Freddy departs. Hope to see you soon! HA HA!"
Freddy stepped inside, looking for where the familiar presence was. He would have taken the elevator, but that wouldn't satisfy him. He liked the thrill of the hunt, and the slowness of stalking a victim. Even in the dream world, he guided himself by this philosophy. Oh, how Freddy would enjoy the kill. This Captain America had given him a hard time, and even managed to hurt him a little in the real world. This would be a satisfying kill, indeed.
Freddy reached the top of the apartment building, and was standing right in front a apartment with the numbers 1408 on the front door. "Wait a minute." said Freddy. "I think I saw this in a movie once. I just can't seem to put my claw on it. Oh well, time to go inside." Freddy simply passed right through the door, just like water going through a strainer.
The inside of the apartment was just as surprising as Times Square was. The walls were covered with a flowery wallpaper, the carpet was a faint cream color, and the sounds of the radio could be heard.
"Kids, I think Freddy just entered something really sappy." said Freddy. "Wish me luck, cause I got people to kill."
Freddy crept upon along the wall, and peered within the living room to see Captain America sitting in a nice chair. Beside him were two kids: a young boy, and a young girl with blonde curly hair. The boy was playing around with a toy car, and the young girl was petting a kitten sitting on her lap.
"Ick, this is uglier than the time i squished that cockroach." said Freddy.
Just then, a sweet feminine voice called from the dinner room. Everybody in the living room promptly got up, and headed right in. Freddy crept along, making sure that Captain America didn't see him. The family sat down to a table with mashed potatoes, green beans, and nice juicy steaks. The sight of a happy family gnawed at Freddy's decayed bones, who was at this point about ready to puke at the sight of it all. "Looks like it's time for me to make my grand entrance." said Freddy. "I just got to work a little bit of my mojo, and get that sickening family out of the way."
Freddy peeked out, and started doing his thing. Right as the wife was cutting her steak, maggots came pouring out onto the floor. She ran away screaming, and everybody else got up to look. The kids looked back at their salads, and saw that the tomatoes became eyeballs. The kids ran away screaming as well, with the cat following close behind. When Captain America turned around to look in the living room, he saw Freddy peering from behind the wall.
"What the hell are you doing here?" the captain asked angrily.
"Well, that is an interesting question." replied Freddy. "The answer to said question is that I still want to kill ya. Yep, I think that answers it perfectly."
Just then, a cutting knife went right into his shoulder. He looked, and saw that Captain America was about to throw another one, when all of a sudden the knife slipped from his hand. The point faced the Captain's face, and for some reason, he was feeling...fear. Freddy just smiled, showing his hideously discolored teeth.
"Hey capy, I haven't had a eyeball kabab in a while." said Freddy in a mocking tone. "Your eyes look perfect!"
The knife flew right into Captain America left eye. The captain then felt massive amounts of pain coursing through his head. As quickly as it went into his eye, the knife flew right out, taking the eye with it. He quickly covered the wound with a napkin, and looked up to see Freddy swallowing his eye in an instant.
"Yummy." said Freddy in a satisfying voice. "The eyes of the innocent are always tasty."
Gritting his teeth, Captain America rushed forward to try and get a few hits in on Freddy. He was within distance of giving him a good punch, when he felt something sharp go into his stomach. He looked down, and saw the Freddy's glove went through. Freddy pulled the glove out a second later, and blood came pouring out onto the floor. Gripping his wound, Captain America tried to get up, but the loss of so much fluid was enough to send him falling back down onto the floor, and into a puddle of his own blood. A few seconds later, and the greatest superhero America had ever seen, was dead.
"Ah, that felt good." said Freddy. "Well, I'll see ya later kids. HA HA!"
