Azula is the only character in the entire show who I was unable to call stupid at any instance; instanity notwithstanding for obvious reasons.

Aang and his team spend half the time goofing off. Ozai's a complete tactical dunce. Iroh is awesome, but he's old and his drive is mostly gone. Ty Lee's..well...Ty Lee, while Mai's mostly bored. Zuko's a damnably emo prince who got lucky.

With Azula, firebending and lightning manipulation were only a third of the package - the rest is drive and a fierce intelligence. She's the perfect antagonist simply because she's so gifted.
