I always thought he was a fanmade character like Khrome. Until I saw the water wave from him as a consumable in MK11.

Seems like Hydro is a hybrid from both Clans Shirai Ryu and Lin Kuei. The fact he can raise the temperature and make ice which make water. And then from a borg initiative, can manipulate Plasma from both water fire and electricity. He would be quite the foe.

I need to see a Hydro and Rain fight or a rematch with him and Scorpion

I honestly liked hydro even though he was short lived he’s so cool I hope he gets brought into the main games I could see him being friends with kuai liang sub-zero or good comrades at least and if they gave him classic ninja skin he’d definitely be dark blue or turquoise

I believe that Hydro has a strong chance to be in the Mortal Kombat franchise someday in the future,hell seeing a Lin Kuei warrior or Cyber Lin Kuei who can manipulate water temperature sounds cool as heck.

Hydro definitely needs to make a proper debut again. Hopefully in a live action with the likes of Kuai Liang in a MK movie sequel. The new MK movies have so much lore they can use and exploring the Lin Kuei and the cyber initiative would be interesting to see in a sequel.

A part of me is hoping to see hydro in a future game. I figure since they let tremor get a spot hydro wouldn't be too far fetched

There should also be a talk about Aqua. Y’all remember that ninja that was teased for MK Trilogy but never made it in the original cut of the game? Would love to see that mysterious *kombatant soon.

How about the Female Khameleon? Or maybe touch on the characters from Mortal Kombat Conquest like Taja, Siro, and Vorpax?

This is in my top 5 favorite channels, thx for what u do

I thought hydro was really underrated. And while there is overlap between him and Rain, that's also the case with Tremor and Geras. So I think there's potential for him in a future MK game, and I think they could really develop his water powers even more and make him even cooler than Rain.

It would be good for them to show the Lin kuei have more than just three ninjas in their ranks. Although personally, I think when it comes to obscure characters, Hornbuckle is probably the highest profile entry not to make it into a game.

Sektor: “Well well, if it is our training dummy.” Hydro: “I am not!” Cyrax: “Yes you are.”

I mean at first thought it does seem redundant to have two characters with very similar abilities. But then you gotta remember Bi-Han, Kuai Lang, and Frost have the same powers. 😂

It's great to see u doing Lesser Known MK characters. Hopefully you do these more often along with Unused characters 👍🏽

You should talk about the characters from the spinoff games that never been in a mk game like the brother hood of shadow and the other black dragon.

We don't need him in a Mortal Kombat game when Rain exist.

holy hell this was much more in depth than I expected from a YT vid, bug kudos to you man

You'd think I'd hear about Hydro. I've never even heard about him, he does sound cool. Plus, I love how you explain the canon of Mortal Kombat and the lore of all of the characters, because I love a good story, as well. Especially how you told Shao Khan and Shang Tsung's lore.

One thing I like about Hydro is how he compliments Bi Han like Smoke compliments Kuai Liang in MK9, so on front I'd like to see more of him.

He’s quite a cool character getting to see Bi-Han be alley’s with someone other than his brother just a shame his gimmick gets over shadowed by Rain Even tho Rain is one of my favourites

I love this channel. Took a break after getting the platinum trophy for MK11 (pretty easy), bought MK11 ultimate for ps4 and switch (switch version is SO MUCH better than what it was at launch), plus the new movie helped get me interested in the franchise again... Now I'm relearning everything. Good times

I'd definitely include him in my own reboot for the series. He'd be Bi-han's best friend and his death at the hands of Scorpion would become Bi-han's motivation to take Scorpion out.

About hydro, I have two ideas that could be interesting: - to make him the blue cyborg from the Cyber Lin Kuei Assembly (if there’s another mk11 dlc), it would be nice if they add sektor and cyrax too (as a cyborg dlc pack). I would pay for this, and they could use all three existing models, and the moves they already have from their npc fights - in a new reboot, it would be nice to add new moves for some kharacters, like noob having some ice powers from his alive past as bi-han, and maybe making kuai liang hydro. Maybe if bi-han (sub-zero) and hydro (kuai liang) came together for the first tournament and they learn about their heritage as cryomancers, kuai liang would try and learn his own ice moves, having this water-ice kinda moves, making him his own version of sub-zero, wanting to avenge his brother after he got killed by scorpion, and not just being the same sub-zero his brother was (like on mk9, where both sub-zeros were the same kharacter, but with a different skin). I know kuai liang was tundra before becoming sub-zero, but they are just kinda nicknames, so they don’t necessarily have to be the same every timeline

This character would be cool in MK11, he would be so versatile, and his mix ups would be crazy, definitely wanna see him or someone like him with those type of abilities

I like these mugen characters

Hdryo V. Rain intro be like: "where there is rain, there is water" "Water is wet" "and so are we"

Another great video I seriously enjoy ur Mk videos I remember looking up mk vid and then saw a history of scorpion vid and got interested and found this channel I hope to see more and more in the future HBTW !

I love this side quest for the MK series......"who the hell is that so & so?" Amazing work as always brudda!!! Keep it up.! Lot of Luv 4rm the UK!!

Once I learned about Hydro he was one of my favorite Ninja in the series. I love how he is a cool 50/50 of rain and sub zero

The return of Hydro as Cyber Ninja would be fun... All other ninjas have a cyber equivalent

More lesser known characters. Maybe he will appear in the next mk game

Hydro sure is popular in Mortal Kombat Project. That was where I was introduced into the character and then seeing him in Legacy sure was something.

If we want hydro in a game then we need to get him to be super popular and begging for him to be in a game because that's how tremor got in

they need to bring him back as a cyber ninja. we need more cyborgs and making hydro canon would be great

I love these videos like this with Hydro and Khrome, and I'd definitely love to see more of lesser known and similar type characters! Tasia definitely comes to mind, or there's a slew of interesting ones from the comics like the crew from special forces with Mika Stone, Vapor, and Sylence, not that there's much more to them then the comics they're included in, but maybe they could be lumped together in one vid. There are more interesting characters from the old comics too that some vids could be dedicated to explaining. Also Kia & Jataaka, I always thought they would be cool to include in the games

Should do one for Wu Lae, that would be badass. He's the canon forgotten orange ninja. Hydro, Oniro, Komodai, Khrome, etc. have never made an in-game appearance besides Hydro being a Konsumable in MK11 and Khrome a Kalling Kard in MKX.

Honestly I’d forgotten about Hydro until this video 😂 great info, interesting character

Aye, a video about me. No seriously tho, Hydro is always forgotten about, I really hope they can bring him in the mainline games.

These fan made characters deserve 1 chance of being in some MK media after approval with Ed Boon & John Tobias

Huh I wished in remastered versions of the first game that he would be in them

Hydro is a great character

Good video as always 👍👍 also I love that Sub-Zero costume in the demo, I think it's my favorite version of the ninja outfit 😇

LETS GOOOO! HBTW does everything!!!

Man thx for bringing up Rebirth cause I couldn’t remember it at all since I first watched it years ago

Hydro deserves a better chance to make his official canon MK game debut!!

man, I'm a fan of MK legacy and even i forgot that hydro was in that cyrex/sektor episode. I'll just hand my fan card back now

Thanks for the re-ed! Could you please do a Mortal Kombat video of Kano's son and any potential future???

I do wish we'd see more of the other Lin Kuei characters as a whole. Sub-Zero's out here killing it, but there's way more to that faction that deserves some shine. I'd like to see more of the Black Dragon too, but I think you might of covered that w/ Kabal and Kano.

Making Hydro alternate costume for Rain is cool enough. Hopefully Khrome got the same treatment, possibly as Smoke skin

I was so confused by his item in MK11. this was fun. I want more water ninja, all the time

Hydro should have the ability to make the water extremely cold and hot and take water out of people since we have water in us or us it against us

That Rain variation is sick.

Aqua, is another I'd love to see in one of these "who are they" videos. 👀

Lol I wanna see more of that Rain Hydro moveset, but subzero just kicks his ass the whole time🙃

I liked ur caption "Who Da'hell is Hydro" 😂😂😂

God the love these new types of videos

Hydro is Sub Zero in room temperature

I'm a mortal kombat fan from way back and never heard of hydro. My favorite mlk before the last three is ultimate mortal kombat. It had the most characters in a mlk game besides Armageddon.

I swear i created this dude when I was playing Armageddon as a kid, I couldn't have been the only one who made this guy in Kreate a Kharacter

I am a big fan of mk franchise and I pride on knowing. The detail history. And obscure characters. And I have never heard of. Hidro. You blew my mind my friend. Sub zero is my fav character. So I find hydro as a very cool character

Honestly his powers could be really cool and unique, he could be like a mix of Sub-Zero, Rain and Smoke where his powers of water and the ability to manipulate its temperature could allow him to control water in each state of matter. Like he could raise the temperature to turn it into steam (gas) or return it back to water (liquid) or freeze it (solid), and you could differentiate him from Sub-Zero by having him be unable to create complex ice constructs like Sub-Zero can, like Hydro couldn't create weapons or an ice replica but he could cover an entire room with steam, then use all that moisture to form into ice spikes to slaughter the whole room. I could even see him being especially deadly if he comes in contact with his opponent's blood where the second he does, he could manipulate the water in it, effectively becoming a blood bender. Like the second he touches your blood, he could just freeze you from the inside, instant death. Pun intended, his fighting style could be a more fluid take on Sub-Zero's more solid way of fighting with his powers. Also, I'd keep him as a human, we have enough cyber ninjas and as of MK9, the Cyber Ninjas are shit who don't accomplish anything. Every Lin-Kuei member besides Kuai-Liang is transformed in some way and are just minions for the villains to use, from Sektor and Cyrax as Cyborg minions for Frost for some reason to Smoke and Noob being Quan-Chi's minions, I'd like to see a human Lin-Kuei that is a hero instead of a villain because MK villains never win any more. Honestly I want Smoke to return to life and Sub-Zero to have a meaningful conversation with Noob because they are brothers.

I feel like exploring rebirth after all this time would be interesting

I love these vids

I would love to see Hydro in future Mortal kombat games and movies

I'd really like to see a vid about the new characters from the Malibu comics, specifically Grum, the six-armed Shokan

I think they could rework this character and make him the water God. It would still tie him to the first Sub-Zero and make the water God from mythologies more interesting.

Thank you for this

Cyber Reptile was another character too and he was apart of the Lin Quei.

Finally somebody started the lore on ALL the forgotten characters .

They need to put some of the comic characters in the games. Imagine having hydro fighting rain or bo fighting Johnny cage

Somebody needs to make this mans channel a podcast

7:04 Before MK Legacy came along, there was his appearance in the fanmade Mortal Kombat Mugen games from the mid-to-late 2000s where he was a cyborg, so fans pretty much predicted him becoming a cyborg in that series. And I'd argue the MK Mugen fangames were many fans' introduction to Hydro - it was certainly my introduction to him.

I learned of Hydro from MK Mugen. Same with Hornbuckle, Tremor, Khrome, etc.

Kinda interesting to know that Hydro could manipulate the temperature, kinda makes you think that technically speaking he could ether freeze and more scald a opponent in boiling water. It's a shame that he has been away ingames of Mk but I'm at least glad they are staying true with including consumables with some lesser known characters.

I remember Hydro! I read that comic! XD I think only the first issue, though.

Hydro was a character I was hoping to be a DLC in Mortal Kombat 11 since back in MKX I didn't know about another ninja swap character like Tremor. So it would have been cool if NRS brought back an obscure character that the fans never know existed. But unfortunately we have to have guest characters like RoboCop,Rambo and such as a waste of space.

I would love to see Hydro vs Khrome fight.. that would be so awesome..

He's a mixture between Sub-Zero and Rain in my opinion. 👍

Good research! Can you do Kai next?

First time I heard this character but I saw him in legacy,and he was badass

I remeber getting that comic Hydro comic way back in the mid 90s

Hey HBTW, do "Monster" next PLZ!🙏

Hydro = not a "Ninja"....facts. Good video though bro, a lot of forgotten warriors out there 👊😉 Love it!

Great video! I thought Hydro was a Mugen created character lol

I Never Forget This Ninja.

I'd love to hear of Hydro's history as told in the comic books.

You should keep the rumor ninja train going and make a quick video talking about Aquilluxborg Hydroxybot, or Aqua for short.

With Rain as a priest in the new games, I do wonder if we might finally have him in the roaster for the next game. Honestly, they could create a spin-off game about the new war betweens the Shira Ryu and Lin Kuei. Maybe get cybernetic ninjas details on old members of the clan.

I’m liking this little series.

I had a fireworks package which featured hellfire Scorpion and named as "Hydro"! Laughed my ass off for days...

Hydro that’s a interesting character

He was a Cyborg who fight against Sektor and Cyrax in Mortal Kombat Legacy season 1 which was dope

Lmao! Bro I wasn’t looking at my iPhone’s screen when you were talking about Tremor and said he was in the worst MK game ever made. I thought MKX??? I was already gonna leave a “Hate” comment like “dude MKX was a bad ass game! You’re just crazy!” And then I looked and I forgot Tremor was in that MK game special forces with Jax. My bad man! I like your channel!

I love to see hydro love the costumes in the video that was shown.

I’m not fully sure but I do remember that in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for the SNES that there was a different Sub-zero who was long forgot that pre-dates Bi-hun and his little brother

I think it would be really cool for after the subzero mantle to be passed to Hydro, and he has a lot of unique moveset potential basically being a water bender

In the original MK, how Reptile was created was they mixed both of the colors of Subzero's & Scorpion's suits together & it makes green. Also at the time, Reptile was a hidden character instead of one you could select & he didn't have any weapons of his own yet, just the ones that Scorpion & Subzero use.

YES FINALLY WE GETTING A HYDRO VIDEO

His other best homie was smoke, we need to see pack of badass ninjas causing havoc like hydro, sub z, smoke, reptile, and ermac, uh. . . . Rain, scorpion, tremor, Sektor, noob, and cyrax
