What if an Avatar went mad? What if one day, an Avatar just snapped, and decided since they are the one to bring balance to the nations, they should rule the nations? What if an Avatar decided to take over? Almost noone could stand in the path of a fully realized Avatar and Live to tell about it.

I mean, in most fiction when someone has that much power from such a young age they tend to be more like Tetsuoh from Akira than Aang. What's to keep the Avatar from taking over the planet in a fortnight?
