I fully support Amon having no relation to any of the past characters from the old show. It would be more refreshing and realistic. I also don't want him to be a bender. If he was a bender than

1. he would be a hypocrite and I want a villian who actually believes what he is leading. People who think that he will try to wipe out all the benders so that he is the last bender and such can rule over everyone else truly underestimate the non-benders. If I found out that the man I supported was a fraud and wanted to rule over me than I would summon people to help me overthrow him. No matter if he had bending and a whole bunch of chi-blockers at his command the non-bender population would grossly outnumber him and defeat him.

2. this would only say that in order to be a really big threat and big bad guy one needs to be a bender and I think that Amon doesn't need bending to be effective. Having an enemy that is just as dangerous as a bender and can take away bending for a matter or time (I have no position on the taking away bending issue) definately raises the stakes as Korra will have to learn how to not always rely on her bending to solve problems. She has always used her bending as her primary attack method, but now she will have an enemy that makes her think and learn "restraint" something she obviously lacks. if she goes all out on Amon and the Equalists they will look sympathetic to others, she has to think before she acts. i think that will by Korra's big problems with Amon.

For some reason the more i write these things that more i can analyze and piece things together. i'm loving this!!!!!
