As for her powers, being a cryomancer is kinda tied to the character. The best you could do is simply have her and Sub-Zero apply their abilities in different ways, similar to Superman and Supergirl in Injustice 2.

Speaking of all these dynamics, does Sub-Zero feel kind of out of character to anyone else? I really dislike the way he just abandons all hope for Bi-Han and Frost. This is the same man who in the original timeline, wouldn't give up on his former friends no matter what, ESPECIALLY these two. Even in MKX, his dialogue towards Hanzo highly suggested that he saw Frost as merely misguided, not someone who needed to be banished from the Lin Kuei, and several of his intro dialogues in that game showed that he still cared to locate his brother.

Sub-Zero in MK11 just feels a lot less compassionate, and that kinda sucks for me. If current Sub-Zero was as uncompassionate as you say, he wouldn't of found common ground with Hanzo and the Shirai Ryu. Ya gotta remember how much time went by in the new timeline, compared to the old timeline where Armageddon was only 10 years after MK1, and in the OT, he didn't learn his brother was Noob Saibot until Deception, whereas in the new timeline, he had years and years to lament his brother's passing and accept he was a corrupted wraith who was beyond saving, after his encounter with Bi-Han prior to the soulnado thing in MK9.

Frost was always unlikable for me, so I felt no loss with there being no redemption for her. I liked Bi-Han as the first Sub-Zero due to Mythologies, but alas, he was always destined to become evil. Even Kuai's attempt to "save him" prior to Armageddon failed, as he was still with the forces for darkness in the final battle.
