Team Avatar (Korra)


 * This article is about Team Avatar in The Legend of Korra. For the original Team Avatar from Avatar: The Last Airbender, see Team Avatar.

"neutral"

- Look, the arena might be shut down, but we're still a team. The new Team Avatar!

The new Team Avatar is the term used to refer to Korra, Mako, Bolin, and Asami Sato after the battle at the Sato estate.

The name of the group was devised by Bolin directly before an anti-Equalist patrol of Republic City; it was enthusiastically accepted by the other members.

Formation
After Avatar Korra arrived in Republic City and joined the Fire Ferrets, she became good friends with Mako and Bolin. After Bolin was kidnapped by the Equalists, Korra and Mako infiltrated Amon's Revelation rally and rescued him before Amon had the chance to remove his earthbending. Mako then became romantically involved with Asami after she accidentally hit him with her moped.

When Amon attacked the Pro-bending Arena, Mako and Bolin moved to Asami's house, to live with her and her father. During a visit to the Sato estate, Korra overheard Hiroshi talking on the phone in a suspicious manner, making her very concerned. After warning Chief Beifong and Tenzin, the three of them, along with the rest of the Metalbending Police Force, successfully located a secret Equalist factory beneath the Sato mansion. After being ambushed by Hiroshi and the other Equalists in the factory, a brief battle ensued. Following the investigating team's defeat by Hiroshi's mecha tanks, Mako and Bolin took it upon themselves to rescue Korra, Tenzin, and Lin. With Asami's help, the group was able to escape Hiroshi's forces and flee from the estate on a police airship. Korra then told Mako that he, Bolin, and Asami were welcome to live on Air Temple Island with her.

Patrolling Republic City


The new Team Avatar takes their job and responsibility to Republic City very seriously, as they are known to conduct patrol missions of the city. After Naga's refusal to carry all four members, Asami suggested that they use her sleek black Satomobile for their patrol. As they began driving toward the city, Mako exclaimed that he liked the team's style. During their patrol on Republic city, they heard about a breakout in the police headquarters and rushed after the equalists. After the equalist motorcycles and the truck was stopped, Tarrlok showed up and gave a final warning to Korra not to stand on his way.

The next day, the team headed to the Dragon Flats borough after hearing about an Equalist rally in the area. Upon their arrival, however, they realized that the rally was simply a protest conducted by a large group non-bending citizens, resulting from Tarrlok's decision to shut all of their power off. Korra attempted to get Tarrlok and the Metalbender officers to stand down, but Tarrlok ignored her and called for the arrest of the entire crowd. Korra quickly stopped the metalbenders as they began to comply, and in response, Tarrlok arrested Asami, Mako, and Bolin, separating the new Team Avatar.

Trivia

 * The name of the team is the same as the original Team Avatar, whom Sokka named. However everyone in the group seemed to like the name, unlike Sokka's experiences.
 * It is also known among fandoms, forums, DA and Tumblr as "The Krew", similar to "The Gaang". Both obviously are incorparating the name of the current Avatar into a collective.
 * The team's methods of patrolling Republic City and dealing with criminals draw parallels from superhero groups most common in comic books, like the Avengers and the Justice League.
 * All the members have been arrested at one point. Korra when she first arrived to Republic City for destruction of public and private property; Asami was arrested as a non-bender being out past curfew, and Mako and Bolin were arrested when they objected Tarrlok's order to arrest Asami.
