Subject's name: Morris "Morrie" Bench
Subject's powers: Hydro-Man can control water and turn his own body into water. He can also merge with larger bodies of water and become part of them. So, you know, if he wanted to feel what it was like to be part of Lake Michigan, well, he has that ability.
Why this power seems good: It's a pretty good defense. Spider-Man tries to punch you, you turn your stomach into water, he ends up with a wet glove. And he hates that shit, trust us. Also, it makes escapes easier. Any room with a drain has an easy exit.
Why this power might suck: Yeah, rooms have easy exits, but using those exits would usually mean having to move your watery body through piss, shit, used tampons and whatever other horrendous, probably radioactive stuff is swimming through the sewers of the Marvel universe. Also, your enemies would always have an easy strategy when it comes to beating you, since you'd be made of, you know, the most abundant substance on the planet. Oh, you're made of water? Well, try some concrete on for size! Or eat this fire extinguisher! Hell, they could probably even beat you with a blow dryer. Two ways, even -- by throwing a plugged-in one at you to electrocute you, or just by evaporating you into submission.
So, basically, it might actually suck to be Hydro-Man.

He's basically just Sandman, but with water instead of sand. (In fact, they once merged to create a Marvel knockoff of Clayface.)

I'd like to see somebody suck him to death. Uh, you know, like through a straw. Wait, let me start over....

Of course, you have forgotten AquaDuck, a villain from DarkWing Duck who DW regularly defeated embarassingly. Concrete is bad, but imagine if you're bested by a guy with a package of pudding mix and an hand mixer. Sad, indeed.
