Here is my take on how Bumi MIGHT be Amon. First, being the son of the Avatar, Bumi (along with his siblings) had an obligatory feeling of doing what was right for the world and serving their fellow man. Bumi; being a non-bender, would come to witness all of the abuse and tyranny benders would exert on their non-bending brethren, as such, he was gradually filled with a somewhat misguided sense of duty to protect them.

So, in order to do this, he coaxed his father to teach him energybending (or a variation of it). Afterwards, Bumi began to train and reinvent himself in order to become Amon.

After his father died, Bumi must have felt that he was free to do whatever he pleased, seeing as how the man he loved and at the same time would pose as the greatest threat to his plans was gone. He then convinced himself that it wouldn't even matter who his next incarnation would be so long as it wasn't Aang, as such, he would enable himself to fight, defeat or even kill him/her without even a shred of guilt.

Thus, Amon was born and he began forming the Equalists.
