Are everyone forgetting that in "The Explorer's Club" Zane saw his worse fear was of losing his humanity and becoming only a machine. Let's see, Zane is lost in the Never-Realm while still holding the Forbidden Scroll, what little we can see of the Ice Emperor's face under the helmet makes him look similar to Zane, and he has an ice dragon under his command. It's not hard to see that the clues is leaning towards Zane having become the Ice Emperor. the real question that's making it difficult to say that he really is the Ice Emperor for sure, is the motivation and/or reason of doing it.

the scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu doesn't seem to automatically make someone evil, because why then would the FSM make them then? It's more that the sheer power boost that the scrolls give can make one lose sight of what they are doing or might do. Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely https://youtu.be/WI4WLHZNFmo
