It seems as though everyone's had a bit of a hard time keeping up with the villains in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Mysterio's always been nailed on, but one week it's the Elementals that are with him, the other it's the likes of Hydro-Man, Molten-Man, or even the Chameleon.

Thanks to a brief shot of Jacob Batalon's Ned Leeds in Venice, though, we may finally have confirmation that the water-based monster seen in Far From is Hydro-Man. This comes from the boat sailing past Ned bearing the insignia of 'Asm 212'. Turns out The Amazing Spider-Man #212 was where Hydro-Man first appeared, all the way back in 1981.

However, don't bet on this water-villain being the actual Hydro-Man of the comics. With Mysterio involved anything is possible, and with Jake Gyllenhaal's character likely to be creating these monsters all by himself, expect Hydro-Man to dissolve at one point or another.
