The best theory I've heard is that Amon is "another Avatar."

So when Aang was struck by Azula, he "died" and at that exact moment another Avatar was born, Amon.

When Aang resurrected, Amon lost all of his physical bending abilies, earth fire and air, but kept his natural waterbending ability and his spiritual powers.

So he has the spiritual power and Korra has the physical powers.

And when Amon takes peoples powers, he could be either bloodbending them to take away their bending or actually using spirit powers.

And well, as for what fuels Amon to do so, he is enraged by the fact that some other person took his Avatar title and wants power, so he tries to rid everyone else of bending.

Of course, this would mean Amon was over 70 years old. So that's my only doubt.

I don't think it's a legit theory, but it's the best one I've heard.
