Here is my theory, only my opinion and what I think. I believe Amon is the first avatar of a new cycle. When Aang died in the avatar state from azulas lightning, that cycle ended, and Amons started, and since Aang's cycle has never ended, nobody could know that a new one would be started. After Aang was brought back to life, so was his cycle, which is the one Korra is in. I believe that after Aang was brought back to life, Amon lost his abilities to bend all of the elements, but he kept airbending, because he could have been born into the air temples. This explains why Korra can't connect to the spiritual world as easy as Aang could have. Aang could only to Korra connect through dreams, which Korra later meditated back to. Amon kept all of the spiritual powers of the avatar, except the avatar state. Maybe Amon later realized he was a new cycled avatar, and he began to feel jealous. He took over the kyoshi warriors, who later turned into the chi-blockers. If you remember at the end of Sozin's Comet part 3, Ty Lee joined the Kyoshi warriors, and tought them chi blocking. The colors of the chi blockers clothes are the same as the Kyoshi warriors. He told them about how he was the avatar after Aang died, and they loved him. He forced them to learn why to hate benders, or maybe the gas mask like things allow Amon to control them. Also, he is an airbender, and Korra can't airbend. He heard of how Aang could take away bending, and he sought out to find the giant lion turtle so he could learn this ability. He has practiced this power so much, that he only needs a few seconds, where Aang needed a few seconds. Perhaps Amon being an airbender is why his armor covers his head, and his cuffs cover where arrows would be on his hands. Maybe the reason he easily resisted Tarrloks bloodbending, is because he is also a water bender, and he kept all his bending abilities in secret. Katara could resist the lady that tought her (I can't remember her name) is because she was a powerful water bender. Amon practiced in secret, and he later found the sunken library. The giant owl inside the sunken library helped Amon learn, because he hated the avatar for stealing knowledge, and sinking the library. Amon learned from the bending scrolls in the library.
