Does the Avatar get more powerful over time? In theory, for example, in the Avatar State the Avatar has the strength of all the Avatars before them. So after each successive generation they would also absorb the power of the previous avatar. So an avatar after 1,001 generations would be slightly more powerful - or at least have more potential - than one after only 1,000 generations. If this theory is true, Kuruk would be slightly stronger than Yangchen, Kyoshi slightly stronger than Kuruk, Roku slightly stronger than Kyoshi, Aang stronger than Roku and Korra stronger than Aang. Over time these differences would be significant. So Aang would be much more powerful than say, the first avatar or one a couple hundred lifetimes ago.
