Talk:Amon/@comment-86.173.132.86-20120609230258

Here's my little theory, thrown together by reading others thoughts and by adding my own:

I think that Amon is Amon, a man who was disfigured facially as a child. For his whole life, he has to cover his face, constantly reminded of the damage the benders caused to his life. Thus, over time, he hates firebenders and eventually every form of bending.

Amon seems like a very calm, collected character. I have a feeling that he has tried to form a group to take out the benders but has failed in the past and resorted to extremes. Perhaps overhearing a legend of spirits and the spirit world, Amon resorts to meditation to enter the spirit world.

Eventually he enters the spirit world and finds a particular spirit who hates the Avatar (not sure what spirit, some say the facestealer, possible).

Thus the spirit allies with Amon and somehow gives him powers to both resist bending and take it away OR the spirit fuses with Amon and they become one (which is why he is slightly affected by the bloodbending, he has to be partly human).

(There was speculation that Amon only used his bending taking on benders who abuse their power, but Ep9 shows him take it away from the Metalbenders, nullifying this theory.)

Well, this might all be wrong, be thank you to the creators for giving us such open ends to create interesting theories with our buzzing brains! XD
