There is only one theory that makes perfect sense and cannot be legitamently disputed or questioned.

Amon is from the Spirit World.

Amon is a spirit who has decided that benders are an impurity in the world and ought to be removed. He took on a human form with superhuman abilities. Becasue he is more powerful than humans he does not fear them, which explains his fearless attitude when fighting. Because he is from the Spirit World he is able to energybend and resist bloodbending.

His "past" is a made-up story to win the hearts of non-benders.

Because Amon is a spirit and Avatar Korra is completly out-of-touch with the spiritual aspect of the Avatar, he is more powerful than her.
