"You all owe me cookies when we discover that Amon is Sokka and Suki's nefariously deviant and demented, horribly twisted misunderstood and bitter son. Reasons: it's an interesting plot twist based entirely on the fact that fictional entertainment must be engrossing. On a different token, I also believe that the power he supposedly posses(Energy Bending), when not used by the Avatar is not permanent; if anyone here is a Star Wars fan and remembers, I think it will prove simila to Jedi mind tricks: it works on someone who is weak of mind. Note how he is trying to scare Korra into truly believing his powers to be immutable, if she's such a threat to equalists he should have removed her bending when he had the chance; it was an ambuscade, fooling her into a "showdown" to break down her will and hope so that when he finally does use his Energy Bending she will be weak of mind enough to believe that her bending has indeed been eternally dissipated. Just my two or three cents. P.S. I'll be getting the user name Avatar Neo :)"

I said this in reply to someone's comment below. To go a bit further, I'll say that, as a sequel to a series most prominent characters will be related in some way to the main or at least secondary characters of the original series; Amon having no connection to any of the previous characters in the show would be bordering on preposterous. He is most likely either Sokka and Suki's son, both parents are non-benders to stay true to his story about himself (he could very well be lying), he is related to Tai Ling (as theorized below), or he's some type of being from the Spirit World that has flagitious intentions and some ill will harbored against the Avatar; if anyone remembers Koh, the face stealer from the original series (perhaps Koh now possesses the ability to take more than a face): this however is very unlikely. There is ofcourse the fourth option and least interesting option of all: all of us are wrong and Amon's identity can simply not be theorized at this current interim. All in all I find Korra to be a very entertaining program so far, and as a fan of the original series I can truly say that I'm not disappointed, so far so good.
