What if Aang is Amon? What if he was disenfranchised with bending because he saw the way in which people like Yakone abuse their power? What if he found a way to forsake bending the elements, thus freeing him from the cycle and allowing a new avatar take the place. The Lion Turtle says that energybending existed before other bending, so it doesn't need to be part and parcel with the others. It also might explain why Korra can't airbend, since her previous life, Aang, never died and joined the cycle.

And then there's the clues. In the same episode where Amon resists bloodbending, Aang resists bloodbending. We know nothing about the circumstances of Aang's death, and there's no reason to suspect he might have died of old age considering his incredibly healthy lifestyle. Why would Aang warn Korra about Tarlock in the visions, considering he isn't even the greatest threat to Republic City or even Korra. If anything, he should be warning her more about energybending, flashing to that fight he had with the Firelord and how the Firelord's energy almost consumed him. Why would he give Beifong, Toph's daughter, a chance to keep her bending, when no one else got it? Why make a completely new series if it doesn't connect to the main character of the previous one in any significant way? Plus, the preview where the statue of Aang has Amon's mask is kinda funny, considering.

Occam's Razor tears to ribbons the idea that Amon isn't energybending... why introduce a new, similar ability? Its more likely that if Aang is the only energybender, cause he learned the technique from a Lion Turtle, that Aang is STILL the only energybender.

As for this being a "completely new character", that's exactly what I would tell my fanbase if I was keeping this crazy twist a secret. I'm gonna take that with a grain of salt. Why else wear the mask? Do you really buy that "firebenders killed my family and scarred my face" thing? If Zuko, with all his pride and honor, wore his face brand like a badge, why wouldn't Amon?

I'm betting Amon=Aang. Thanks for listening.
