Jacob Daniel Johnson was the son of Dream Master Alice Johnson and Dan Jordan. Jacob's first appearance is in A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, where he appears in Alice's dreams and was the key Freddy used to live on after his soul shattering demise. Since he appeared at the age of zero and defeats Freddy without anyone else's help in The Dream Child, Jacob has the honor of the youngest and also the first Nightmare hero that defeats Freddy Krueger with his own power.
