- Hey everyone!
Welcome to yet another Mortal Kombat video!
Now today seeing as you all really really enjoyed the Khrome video last week, I figured that for fun, we could talk about one of the lesser know character of the series, Hydro!
Hydro Is a cult beloved characters that has sadly only briefly made small appearances in median, with that said, lets give a somewhat forgotten ninja of the series some love as we talk about this member of the lin Kuei, a very old ally of bihans and touch on his involvement In the Malibu comic book series as well as Mortal Kombat legacy!
I hope you enjoy this one guys!

I always thought he was a fanmade character like Khrome. Until I saw the water wave from him as a consumable in MK11.
Cyber-Hydro was in the Legacy web-series. Jobbed to Cyrax & Sektor
Well before legacy I think most people just knew about Hydro from the MK Project Mugen games
I thought he was a fan made character
Naw 1st seen him back when MK 2 came out or right b4 , he was in a MK comic book 1st
That water wave consumable is my sole reason for watching this video
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.
Lin kuei isn’t just a cryomancer clan tho and no other shirai ryu have hellfire
I need to see a Hydro and Rain fight or a rematch with him and Scorpion
Hydro would probably worship Rain and become "The Avatar of Rain" The Forecaster of Deaths Reign.
That would be fun
If they did a hydro for real, he would have to play like a mix of subzero and rain
It be like a water gun fight
If Hydro is finally added, he should be more Aquatic/Oceanic to seperate him from Rain
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
@Wesley Dunn true I just want to see more of sub-zeros clan (can’t spell the name) hope we see cyrax and smoke soon
@Wesley Dunn wish mk was on sum capcom shit and just release hella spinoff games. could have a whole game alone on just shirai ryu vs lin kuei
@@robertmetcalf6658 we got Shaolin Monks, it could happen...
Nah Sub-Zero (Bi-Han) dark blue like a Royale blue and Hydro should be a sky light blue
@@carlosu5164 you don't know how to spell Lin Kuei
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.
Well if you're not ignorant of mortal kombat then yes, obviously.
Because all mortal kombat games are *based on Mortal Kombat tournament 10.* The final Tournament.
They can always make games based on tournaments 1-9. Which would include so many new characters.
@@ThePresentation010 It is possible,but NRS have disappointed me with their stories and dialogues that rebooting the tournament again seems extremely pointless.
@@featherguardian6023 I dont play games for the story. I play for the gameplay. If I was interested in a story I'd read a book or watch a movie.
I dont think people that play call of duty are PhDs in war history because theyve learned so much from the stories.
@@ThePresentation010 Even though I watch it for the story,I also have to admit that the gameplay is the best part of any NRS game.
@@ThePresentation010 forfeited dd. d d. d d. d d fd fl
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.
agreed
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
@Karsielatee Watkins only if you look at it that way. Sub zero and frost have the same powers & so do liu kang and scorpion and nobody seems to mind 🤷🏾♂️
@@xtra35cent Liu Kang and Scorpion aren't the same.
@@KingShibe they both have fire powers do they not? 🤔
@@xtra35cent yeah but their powers are completely different in the way they’re used, scorpion doesn’t use fire balls, and liu kang can’t turn into literal flames like scorpion can. Also the frost/sub-zero argument can’t be used because frost is a part of the lin kuei, so it would make sense she has similar abilities to sub-zero
@@FALLENSK8ER1995 everybody in the lin kuei doesn't have the same powers by using that logic you're assuming cyrax and sektor had ice like powers when they didn't, they didn't have powers at all when they were human as a matter of fact. And yes liu kang and scorpion use their powers differently but my point was that they both have the same powers whether they use it in different ways or not and if you noticed in the video it's stated that hydro can not only control water but he can control the temperature of it as well so if he were to appear in mk they would base his moveset off that so his powers would be used in a different way than rains
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.
Aqua? Dam what other characters does mk have that a secret?
@@JM-qt5mg yeah dude it was a duck ninja. NOT a joke lol. But the backstory sounds interesting. Look him up. There’s talks about it and if you can find the History of Mortal Kombat videos. It said that he was teased for MK Trilogy, but never made it in the final cut. I’d like to know more about him.
Even by Mortal Kombat standards - that character/concept was absolutely ridiculous.
@@FragmentJack massively ridiculous
You do know aqua/hydro would probably be the same right
Sektor: “Well well, if it is our training dummy.”
Hydro: “I am not!”
Cyrax: “Yes you are.”
Well he was beating them up until Cyrax got the upper hand in the fight.
From a comic right ?
Your Average Joe 2
From a web series, Mortal Kombat Legacy.
@@BlazerK1914 ohhh now I remember that.
If it is? Do you mean if it isn't?
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.
Could be the reason they’ve made smoke and rain into who they are now so they could introduce him mk1 or 2
I thought Tremor was Geras? I’m guessing I’ve been lied too then
@@PestilencePacerHow? The characters literally look nothing alike, the only thing they technically have in common is that Tremor controls rocks and tectonic plates and Geras controls sands.
@@franciscoOrellana29 bro might new to MK
@@PestilencePacerGeras is a time shifting character. And because old time keepers (like an hour glass) regularly used sand as the material inside the hour glasses themselves. The devs used that idea to also give him sand powers.
Tremor (you can see him briefly in the new Omni-Man trailer as a cameo character), is a earth bender basically. In MKX he controls rock, lava, crystal and various metals.
But yeah, they are completely two different characters. Also Tremor is classified as a Ninja like Sub Zero and Scorpion, etc, he just happens to be a big boi.
How about the Female Khameleon? Or maybe touch on the characters from Mortal Kombat Conquest like Taja, Siro, and Vorpax?
Female Khameleon is cannon. You don't see her because Shao Kahn sent her away
Khameleon is an official character playable in MK Trilogy and MK Armageddon
@Nex Rex yeah but in trilogy shes only playable in n64 and in Armageddon she's available in the wii version
@@Honestlynothingelseso she's an exclusive Nintendo Kombaten from Mortal Kombat
Shujinko's conquest from deception was one of my favorite things about the whole series. It made me think for a while they were gonna pivot to him being main character for a while.
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.
He could talk about No Face.
@@jacobpainter1962 this is the whole script no face has no face
@@havenofearjoshishere7877 Really good story lol
Talk about characters in the new spinoff movie idk
@@lordmemus2098 yeah everyone remembers art
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. 😂
MK9 had those 3 plus cyber Subzero with the same Powers
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.
Ah yes, green Liu Kang
I feel like Hornbuckle could be introduced as a legit character, via a Shao Khan clone of Lui Kang. A creature he creates to be a foil to the real Lui Kang.
@@BlackMetalRebellion They don't even need to go down the clone route ala Mileena. Given where MK 11 has left Liu Kang, Hornbuckle could just be a descendant now.
We don't need him in a Mortal Kombat game when Rain exist.
He was hear before rain
@@Mxl23 So what that suppose to mean we don't need two water characters in the games.
@@getchaxxx6762 we got two ice characters so why not two water characters?
Yet we have frost and 2 sub zeros and multiple characters with same powers
And Rain and Hydra both ninjas with water powers I'll pass to.
This is in my top 5 favorite channels, thx for what u do
You may like dead meat that's an awesome channel too
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
Hdryo V. Rain intro be like:
"where there is rain, there is water"
"Water is wet"
"and so are we"
I like these mugen characters
Khrome is a fan made character.
@@henkaistudio We know
There has been characters who started off colour pallets. Khrome is one of them although he has never officially been created. He still deserves a spotlight.
@@EmperorOfChaos yeah and there’s Hydro and not only him but there’s also Cyber Reptile too he looks like a green version of Sekter and Cyrax and Smoke and Cyber Sub-Zero.
@@henkaistudio Exactly. The fact that Khrome is still a fan favourite should mean something. Even if he is not playable.
they need to bring him back as a cyber ninja. we need more cyborgs and making hydro canon would be great
NO ONE WANTS MORE CYBORGS 😂
I want more cyborgs, they make better characters than the kombat kids.
@@riverfacetheanticringe5413 you can never go wrong with paletswaps XD
@@riverfacetheanticringe5413 I don't mind the kombat kids. I thought they were good in my opinion.
And then have a green one with leech seed and a solar beam fatality, and give cyrax fire blast. Done.
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
No lol
@@DaddyShaoKahnwho asked you?
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'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.
It's great to see u doing Lesser Known MK characters. Hopefully you do these more often along with Unused characters 👍🏽
The return of Hydro as Cyber Ninja would be fun... All other ninjas have a cyber equivalent
Only Smoke and Sub-Zero have a cyber equivalent, the fuck.
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.
More lesser known characters. Maybe he will appear in the next mk game
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
Me too
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
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
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.
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.
These fan made characters deserve 1 chance of being in some MK media after approval with Ed Boon & John Tobias
Hydro deserves a better chance to make his official canon MK game debut!!
Hydro is a great character
Huh I wished in remastered versions of the first game that he would be in them
Aye, a video about me.
No seriously tho, Hydro is always forgotten about, I really hope they can bring him in the mainline 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.
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
Honestly think they should make him like a Water Bender from Avatar where he can manipulate water to such a degree he can control it in all its forms, as steam, water and ice. I am just imagining a scenario where he has to assassinate a whole room full of people so he heats up some water with his powers to create steam to fill the room with, then turns all that steam into ice spikes that surround everyone in the room and he impales them all in one fell swoop. You could even give him Blood Bending abilities though as a balance I'd say he has to be in contact with your blood to control it so he can't just kill you instantly, like he'd have to cut you with a water blade, then use his water to connect with your blood and then he can manipulate it and you're dead.
@@MysteriousTomJenkins sub zero would probably get dethroned ig
Making Hydro alternate costume for Rain is cool enough. Hopefully Khrome got the same treatment, possibly as Smoke skin
Khrome is Smoke
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
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.
I mean we kinda got a water demi god with being rain who's way more popular then hydro.
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
Aqua, is another I'd love to see in one of these "who are they" videos. 👀
They need to put some of the comic characters in the games. Imagine having hydro fighting rain or bo fighting Johnny cage
Bo rai cho is in mkx
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.
holy hell this was much more in depth than I expected from a YT vid, bug kudos to you man
Hydro is Sub Zero in room temperature
Can he boil..
Hahaha
He's a mixture between Sub-Zero and Rain in my opinion. 👍
Controls water temp
Freeze/boil
Sub zero, rain and scorpion
Hydro that’s a interesting character
No your interesting
@@rain1676 no your more interesting
@@venomrg. no you’re even more interesting
@a pimp named Mdot no your infinitely more interesting
Hydro was a interesting strand of marijuana back in the day too.
Lol I wanna see more of that Rain Hydro moveset, but subzero just kicks his ass the whole time🙃
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 feel like exploring rebirth after all this time would be interesting
Cyber Reptile was another character too and he was apart of the Lin Quei.
Where did him appear?
@@Luchin-san mk9 challenge tower and it was reptile wearing armor
@@devinthompson7143 yeah and he was a Mugen Character in that version of the Mortal Kombat Game and he made a cameo in Triborgs’ Arcade Ending too.
@@devinthompson7143 he appeared in Mortal Kombat Mugen game and in Mortal Kombat 9 in the ladder tower and in Triborgs’ ending in Mortal Kombat X.
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 would love to see Hydro in future Mortal kombat games and movies
LETS GOOOO! HBTW does everything!!!
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
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
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.
Man thx for bringing up Rebirth cause I couldn’t remember it at all since I first watched it years ago
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!!
I was so confused by his item in MK11.
this was fun. I want more water ninja, all the time
I learned of Hydro from MK Mugen. Same with Hornbuckle, Tremor, Khrome, etc.
I used to think Hydro was just a fan name for rain. Then, when I played Mythologies, I thought it was the water god. Now, I think it's more of an internal joke among the creators of the game than anything else. I think Ed Boon himself made a misleading twitt before releasing MK9 where he talked about new characters such as Hydro and cyborg Sub Zero, so the fans wouldn't know what was really happening.
Honestly, between those facts and Rain, I doubt they're ever going to include Hydro in the games.
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
Credit for History Behind the Warrior; *"Now you know"*
I'd really like to see a vid about the new characters from the Malibu comics, specifically Grum, the six-armed Shokan
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.
Ed make this man a DLC right fucking now 😤
You all asked for Rain and got him!
@@shaunw1966 now we want hydra ma boy
Thanks for the re-ed! Could you please do a Mortal Kombat video of Kano's son and any potential future???
That Rain variation is sick.
Somebody needs to make this mans channel a podcast
I had a fireworks package which featured hellfire Scorpion and named as "Hydro"! Laughed my ass off for days...
He's playable in MK REVELATIONS... and pretty powerful if you can use him well enough.
He could come back now since rain is now considered a sorcerer on the new MK timeline
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 believe in the krypt I'm mk11. If you go to the spike pit in the distance, you'll see another platform with 2 people fighting. it's either blaze and rain or hyro
Finally somebody started the lore on ALL the forgotten characters .
Honestly I’d forgotten about Hydro until this video 😂 great info, interesting character
virgin rain pRiNcE anD "god" of eDeNiA
vs
CHAD HYDRO, FEROCIOUS KING OF THE SEA AND WATER
I would have rather had MK Rebirth as a movie, than the new MK movie we got. Also, this is the first time I heard of Hydro. Learn something new everyday.
Dude HYDRO, human form, has always been my favorite, rain was suppose to kinda replace hydro, that's why there powers are similar but I'm hoping they will make his a regular character with his own move and power set that rivals rains, he's a navy colored ninja with sometimes having two twin njnjatos on his hack, he is bi hans best friend but I think he's more skilled and more powerful, he uses water as a force like the water benders in avatar but even more, can't wait to see some water based insane fatalities, they should make rain more full on lightning kinda like raiden and give our fav navy badass all the water moves and powers hell ya !!!!!! ! !
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.
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 😇
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 !
He was a Cyborg who fight against Sektor and Cyrax in Mortal Kombat Legacy season 1 which was dope
I would love to see Hydro vs Khrome fight.. that would be so awesome..
First time I heard this character but I saw him in legacy,and he was badass
Cyber Hydro, the original, for mortal kombat. They missed an opportunity in MK11 instead of bringing back rain.
In the first part of the video, it says he is Rain and Hydro is just the costume/fight technique because if you look it he’s fighting Sub-Zero and his costume/fight technique is blood and thunder.
Thank fucking god, these types of videos exist... I want to make movesets for Kharacters like Khrome and Hydra...
I liked ur caption "Who Da'hell is Hydro" 😂😂😂
I remeber getting that comic Hydro comic way back in the mid 90s
Never get tired of seeing classic sub zero skin
Hey HBTW, do "Monster" next PLZ!🙏
But monster isn’t as interesting as hydro, as he was one idea for scorpion as the elder gods champion. He uses scorpion’s move set, and even on nrs games, on scorpion mirror match, one of them says that he is the champion, so...
I remember back in the late 90's people thought Smoke was Hydro.
In a perfect world, Hydro-Khrome would be the new Noob-Smoke.
We should definitely get a "Non-Canon Pack", as MK franchise as whole, has a huge plethora of them. Not to mention the Legend Great Kung Lao, and MAYBE his companions from the Mk Conquest series.
In mk1 sub zero's ending u can see a Lin Kuei engineer guy working on a cyborg, that might be Hydro
Who knows but Hydro is very interesting.
