I'm looking at some of these posts and I gotta admit I'm confused. Where are y'all getting that Amon is Aang from? Korra wouldn't be alive if Aang were. It's been loooooooooong established that there can be only one Avatar at any given time, and that in order to get a new one the old one must die. Seriously did you people saying Amon is Aang even watch the original show? And Ozai? Bumi? Next you'll be saying Sokka is Amon.

I'm under the impression Amon is Energybending. He says "I discovered this ability". This implies to me that noone taught it to him, he just did it kinda like that scene where four year old Korra could bend Fire, Water, and Earth without being taught how. He didn't have the big light show because the scene and action were moving too fast and they couldn't take 5 minutes on each Triad member. I'm more curious, that if he is confirmed to be an Energybender, if it allows him to do other things. Every since seeing Aang use it and hearing the explanation from the Lion Turtle (namely the bit of, "people bent the energy in themselves") I always figured it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say one could give themself super strength or speed or enhanced smell/vision/hearing using this particular bending style. But that's just me.

Far as Amon's backstory I see no reason his claim of Firebenders killing his family wouldn't be true. There's probably a bit more in depth to it but I'm not holding my breath. I do like this villain though, kind of has a Magneto vibe to him.
