Oooh, I really like Freddy. You really captured the theme of the character well there!

For Freddy, how about:

RAZOR GLOVE
Adjacent Unique figures roll one fewer defense die against Freddy's normal attack. Adjacent Common figures subtract one shield from their defensive roll against Freddy's normal attack.

We're giving Aaron Cash 4 Attack, and a supernatural zombie with a machete is probably a bit stronger than he is. I'm fine with 5, but that's probably the ceiling for him. Both are mid-100s characters for sure.

Batman has a static attack of 5, unarmed, as a normal human.

or

RAZOR GLOVE

Keeps him good only against weaker victims which would be his typical prey.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I like that. Superman laughs at his razor claws.

[laughing matter]

why not

RAZOR GLOVE
Adjacent Unique figures without the Super Strength special ability roll one fewer defense die against Freddy's normal attack. Adjacent Common figures subtract one shield from their defensive roll against Freddy's normal attack.

"Figures without the Super Strength special power roll one fewer defense die when defending against a normal attack from Freddy, or two fewer defense dice if they are Common."

"KI KI KI, MA MA MA"
After an opponent reveals a numbered Order Marker on an Army Card that opponent controls, or attacks Jason, you may immediately move Jason up to 2 spaces. Before taking a turn with Jason, if he is unengaged, you may choose a figure on the battlefield. If the chosen figure does not have clear line of sight to Jason, or if Jason currently occupies a Shadow space, add 1 automatic skull to his normal attack against the chosen figure this turn.

UNDEAD RESILIENCE
If Jason receives two or more wounds from a single attack but is not destroyed, you may immediately remove up to two of those wounds.

FRIDAY THE 13TH
At the end of the round, if Jason is destroyed, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 13 or higher, immediately place Jason on any empty space on the battlefield that is not adjacent to an opponent's figure, and remove all Wound Markers from this card.

I like this direction. Personally I'd like to see 1 defense, just because he is wearing a goalie mask and usually a heavy jacket - gotta count for something, right? I also do think 5 attack is too high, especially if you are tossing in that autoskull power.

Riffing a little on the movement power:

After an opponent reveals a numbered Order Marker on an Army Card that opponent controls, if Jason is not within 7 clear sight spaces of that figure, or if Jason is on a Shadow space, you may immediately move Jason up to 5 spaces. Otherwise, you may immediately move Jason up to 2 spaces.

Here I am playing with the horror movie trope that the bad guy seems to move ridiculously fast when you can't see him, but advances slowly (and menacingly) once he is in sight. On that note, I would probably drop Jason's base movement down to 4.

I'd say 1 or even 2. I don't know the character, but I would think he would at least have basic defensive maneuverability.

Jason has punched a guy's head off, crushed a guy's head with his bare hands, broken bodies in half backwards, punched through someone's chest holding their heart, sliced through someone's body vertically through the crotch, thrown people or hit people up to 20-30 feet...

You mean to tell me that's a 3? You have to remember...Jason is supernatural. He has incredible strength, raw power, endurance, and swings a giant machete. I'd consider 4, but that's the lowest I'd logically go.

I don't know I kind of bought Socks reasoning here and it made sense. Also the combination he had because of the low defense seemed to work. I haven't watch a lot of the movies and even the one I saw were 20 years ago but I don't remember him defending anything just taking the hit...High Life low defense seems right.
