I find that there is evidence to support that Zuko may in fact be the secret identity of Amon. I'll list the facts in bullet point:


 * Amun: Amun also spelled "Amon" is the name of an Egyptian Sun deity, widely known as "Ra". This is the first indication that Amon is a firebender since the sun corresponds to fire.
 * Amon claimed that his face was burned by a Firebender, the same happened to Zuko.
 * Amon is clearly using energy-bending or a derivative of it, to remove or block bending. Zuko had both the knowledge (since Ozai suffered the loss of his bending from Aang), and the means to study it in depth. Whether he discovered energy-bending or reverse engineered it remains to be seen.
 * The use of electricity for the Equalists. Zuko saw and experienced its effectiveness against bender's first hand. He was capable of redirecting lightning, but could have easily mastered the art later in life.
 * Zuko is one of the last generation of Team Avatar to remain alive, in fact he has the perfect alibi as a traveling ambassador seeking world peace. Knowing himself the horrors of war, it could easily be conceived that he would inevitably reach the conclusion that only by removing all bending could the world achieve peace.
 * Zuko had access to resources such as Ty Lee and her Chi-Blocking arts. He could have learned them, and began to teach them to other non-benders, knowing its effectiveness. None outside the Fire Nation held this monopoly on such a potent anti-bending art.

In the end, Zuko is the only character in the series who has the access, the resources, the knowledge, the motive, the opportunity and the ability. In all instances, he is the only one capable of achieving any of this.
