"Honestly, I don't think the creators would allow Amon to really be an energy bender. That would make him way to powerful and overbearing. I mean, he has all of these minions, and from what it appears, hundreds of supporters. It would take a ridiculous ammount of cunning and strength for Korra to defeat him, and '''I think that would end up taking away from the show." '''

I pretty much totally agree with you here. So far, the Avatar and all her pro-bending contemporaries have been UTTERLY powerless before the onslaught of these minions; when's it gonna stop?! I mean, every show initially presents the bad guys as super powerful so that their eventually fall is all the more glorious and exciting, so I was okay with the tough minions. But then to find out that Amon can basically take down enemies permanently-- what about the main characters? Are they just gonna avoid Amon's "touch" for the whole show and let other secondary characters lose their bending? Something's got to give, and I really hope that it's Amon's claims. I really hope his ability to take away bending isn't truly permanent.
