What if Amon is Mako and Bolin's father? He could have been born a non bender out of a family of earth or fire benders (or for those of you who think he is a bloodbender a family of earth and water or fire and water. Both of his parents could also be nonbenders but were born from parents who could bend those elements). He also could have lived on the small farm with his parents.

Then he married an earth or fire bender (if he was from the fire nation he married an earth bender and vice versa. His wife could have also have been a nonbender but her parents could bend earth or fire). They then lived on the small farm with his parents.

When Mako was born he had the gene to bend fire and Bolin had the gene to bend earth which they got from their grandparents/ great-grandparents.

When the fire bender attacked Mako and Bolin's family their mother and father couldn't fight back since he was a non bender and their grandparents were unable to fight as well. Mako and Bolin's father got knocked out and the two brothers thought he was killed and ran away. Instead the fire bender just scarred his face.

When their father woke he found that his wife and parents were killed and Mako and Bolin were gone so he thought that they were killed as well. He then decided all bending was evil and learned how to take bending away.

He then hid behind a mask to hid his scar as he rid the world of bending.

He claims that his family was all nonbenders because it wouldn't be good for someone who is trying to get rid of bending to have two sons that are benders.

That could also explain why he let aMako,Bolin, and Korra get away during the Revelation. He recognized his kids (or since the incident happened so long ago he didn't recognize them. He also did want the avatar to spread the news of his power).

I know it seems very unlikely but what do you guys think?
