@Dragonspyne I think that freezing people with water would just make Hydro another Sub-Zero. In fact, there's no form of water bending he can use that wouldn't involve him copying another character's powers. Even if he used hot water vapor, which is much less likely to happen, that would make him essentially another Smoke.

But now that you mentioned his freezing powers, it gave me an idea: what if "Hydro" became a DLC variation for Sub-Zero in the future? Don't know exactly what moves it would have, but would involve bending freezing water against his opponents. I don't see what he could he do with it that his ice balls and puddles couldn't do, but it's just an idea. At least it would be a good way to mention Hydro in the game, and at the same time to replace his "gray cyborg" concept from Legacy for his original water ninja one among fans. And it would also make sense, because Hydro was originally one of Sub-Zero's friends among the Lin Kuei (I think he even died to help Sub-Zero, didn't he?), and so Sub-Zero could have learnt that form of water/ice bending with him. Even if Hydro has died in the alternative timeline as well, using his moves that way would be a good way for Sub-Zero to honor him.
