'''I think that Amon is Sokka and Suki's son, and here is why. First of all, Sokka and Suki were both examples of people who were non-benders but could keep up with benders using their own talents. Now I know what you are thinking, "why would their son turn out to be a bad person? They wouldnt raise him like that." My guess is that in some way or another, Amon heard about Sokka and his "jealousy" of benders (as seen in the episode "Sokka's Master" from ATLA), and began to think about it himself. While at school or away from his parents on his own he might have encountered benders who were bullies or who were favored just because they were benders. Anything could have caused Amon to resent benders despite what his parents told him. Also, I know Sokka had nothing against benders, but he might have mentioned it once and Amon just misinterpreted. Then, as he was starting to gain more and more hatred toward benders, Sokka and Suki could have been killed by a firebender (they were old and it could have been a powerful firebender). < This is only if you believe Amon's story.

Another thing that supports my idea is his chi-blocking. Now i know that chi-blocking was an ancient art that many people practiced, but with my theory there could have been a direct link to Amon. After the war, it was said that Ty Lee joined the Kyoshi warriors and taught them chi-blocking. This would have provided Suki with the skill and she might have passed it on to Amon at some point. As I said earlier, I know this doesn’t mean much because he could have learned it from anyone, but it would make the plot more interesting and easier to understand. It would be a little random if Amon somehow learned chi-blocking and decided to hate benders.

The last thing I think wraps this all up is as follows. Every main character in the gAang in ATLA has a biological legacy in Korra: Toph-Lin Beifong, Aang-Tenzin and Korra (spiritually), Katara-Tenzin (she is also still alive), Zuko-himself (it was announced that he was still alive) and his unidentified daughter, so the only person left is Sokka (and if you consider Suki part of the gAang then her as well), so it would make sense that Amon would be that person. This is also supported by the fact that Sokka and Suki were a very fan-anticipated couple, so it makes sense that they would have a son and that he would be a fairly important character in Legend of Korra.
