Talk:Amon/@comment-2155808-20120609214021

my theory on what Amon is is still kinda loose, i think he is a vengeful spirit that holds a grudge against the avatar and has escaped from the spirit world to the physical world in a humans body, which kinda explains why Amon was able to resist the bloodbending as you saw Aang go into the avatar state to break the bloodbending connection which makes sense that you cant bloodbend a spirit

As for my theory on Amon removing peoples bending, I think that he is using a chi blocking form and was lost long ago to block the chi flowing through ones body to prevent them from bending, when we first see/hear of energybending from the Lion Turtle he places one of his fingers on Aangs forehead and one on his heart, Aang later does the same thing when removing Ozais bending and again when removing Yakones bending, Amon only does the one on the forehead but not on the heart, and if you remember back to the chakras the Light Chakra is on the forehead which deals with insight and is blocked by illusion, my guess is that Amon uses some ancient technique to chi block this chakras chi flow to prevent someone from bending I do not think what he does is permanant
