Equalists

The Equalists are an organization directed against the art of bending, and as a direct result, benders themselves. They utilize chi blocking as a means to counteract bending and its advantages. They also utilize long range weapons, which they use to tie together and hold down the arms and legs of their enemies.

There are apparently two known types of Equalists: those who are skilled in the art of chi blocking and those who wear special suits.

Trivia

 * Their leader is named Amon.
 * At the Equalist rally seen in the trailers, the symbols in the red circle banners visible in the background are a Chinese character meaning "equal", "even" or "peaceful".
 * The Equalists are not the first organization to harbor resentment towards benders. However, they are the first formal canonical example.
 * The Equalists have no relation to energybending, which has been described by Mike and Bryan as "anti-bending", as well as "un-bending".
 * The Equalists were originally named the Anti-benders, until the name change was announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2011.
