Why was Hydrokinesis neutered?

Looking at the Hydrokinesis entry in my old copy of HU, the psionic power is actually quite useful, if perhaps in need of a bit of toning down. It didn't get toned down, though. Instead, every other subsequent version I can find in my books has been totally emasculated. What gives?

I find it somewhat disturbing that someone with "Bidet" in their name is interested in the power of hydrokinesis.

I would expect the power to be fairly weak on land, but in a body of water it seems like they just never considered that possibility at all. Which Rifter did they make the Splasher (my name for it), or whatever name they gave to the Burster version of Hydrokinesis? It escapes me.

Greetings and Salutations. It was in Rifter #19, the Soaker (the real name). Farewell and safe journeys.

Soaker. Bidet.

I, uh, need to reread the posting rules.
