Mr. Underwood

Mr. Edward Underwood is the adoptive father of Freddy Krueger who he presumably took in at a young age when the boy's biological mother gave him up for adoption.

Ever though he's the bad guy, he was the only first victim who Freddy kill during his teen years since he treated Freddy badly.

His story
A severe alcoholic, Underwood abused Freddy both verbally and physically, his preferred method of beating the boy apparently being whipping with a belt.

Once he became a teenager, Freddy, fed up with his foster father's abuse, murdered the old man when he came home drunk one day, laughing off Underwood's blows before stabbing him in the eye with a straight razor, a memory which Freddy's daughter Maggie would later witness after entering her father's mind years later.

He was potrayed by singer-songwriter Alice Cooper.
