I doubt his face is completely mutilated to the point of being too grotesque for nick.If you've ever seen teen titans, they've done a similar story with slade and that was cartoon network. They showed him dying by falling into the lava. Then later he was reanimated by a big bad, and when his mask was removed it showed a skeletal face. This was on cartoon network, it can be on nick too. Besides that, they've shown some things on the previous avatar series that could make me cringe at times. Azula's descent into insanity wasn't all that fun to watch, regardless of age. And he doesn't have to have his mask removed either, he'd be just as scary with or without it.

It's all about delivery. I do believe that him leading the equalists is just a plot for power, and that ridding the world of benders is just front to gain his following. It's too unlikely, he's probably just locking a chakra and in that case he can't completely get rid of bending since it's dormant within the person. Amon isn't stupid and I think he knows it's an impossible goal. So it's pretty obvious something fishy is going on, especially since he didn't take Korra's bending when he had the chance. If he hated bending he would've, but I think that since he didn't he's going to try when his following is at the number he wants so he can instill loyalty (and fear) in his followers. I don't know about his backstory, but I don't think he hates bending as much as the group he's in charge of.
