Team Avatar (Korra)


 * This article is about Team Avatar in The Legend of Korra. For the original Team Avatar from Avatar: The Last Airbender, see Team Avatar.

"URN"

- Look, the arena might be shut down, but we're still a team. The new Team Avatar!

Team Avatar is the term used to refer to Korra, Mako, Bolin, and Asami Sato after the battle at the Sato estate.

The name of the group was devised by Bolin directly before an anti-Equalist patrol of Republic City; it was enthusiastically accepted by the other members.

Formation
After Avatar Korra arrived in Republic City and joined the Fire Ferrets, she became good friends with Mako and Bolin. After Bolin was kidnapped by the Equalists, Korra and Mako infiltrated Amon's Revelation rally and rescued him before Amon had the chance to remove his earthbending. Mako then became romantically involved with Asami after she accidentally hit him with her moped.

When Amon attacked the Pro-bending Arena, Mako and Bolin moved to Asami's house, to live with her and her father. During a visit to the Sato estate, Korra overheard Hiroshi talking on the phone in a suspicious manner, making her very concerned. After warning Chief Beifong and Tenzin, the three of them, along with the rest of the Metalbending Police Force, successfully located a secret Equalist factory beneath the Sato mansion. After being ambushed by Hiroshi and the other Equalists in the factory, a brief battle ensued. Following the investigating team's defeat by Hiroshi's mecha tanks, Mako and Bolin took it upon themselves to rescue Korra, Tenzin, and Lin. With Asami's help, the group was able to escape Hiroshi's forces and flee from the estate on a police airship. Korra then told Mako that he, Bolin, and Asami were welcome to live on Air Temple Island with her.

Patrolling Republic City


Team Avatar immediately took its job and responsibility to Republic City very seriously, as their first task was to patrol the city's streets. After Naga's refusal to carry all four members, Asami suggested that they use her sleek black Satomobile. During their patrol, they heard about a breakout in the police headquarters, and rushed after the Equalists. After their motorcycles and the truck was stopped and the chi blockers captured, Tarrlok showed up, furious that Korra was there and had done the job of his task force, giving a final warning to her not to get in his way.

The next day, the team headed to the Dragon Flats district after hearing about an Equalist rally in the area. Upon their arrival, however, they realized that the rally was simply a protest conducted by a large group of non-bending citizens, resulting from Tarrlok's decision to shut all of their power off. Korra attempted to get Tarrlok and the metalbending officers to stand down, but the waterbender ignored her and called for the arrest of the entire crowd. Korra quickly stopped the metalbenders as they began to comply and, in response, Tarrlok arrested Asami, Mako, and Bolin, separating Team Avatar.

The two brothers and Asami, who were freed by Lin Beifong, later reunited with Korra after they found her escaping from Tarrlok's capture and holding.

Defending Republic City


During the Attack on Republic City, Team Avatar took it upon themselves to assist in the fight against the Equalists. The group headed toward the police headquarters just as Tenzin, Saikhan, and some metalbending officers were being abducted by Equalists in mecha tanks. Once the group arrived, they launched their empty Satomobile at one of the tanks, successfully destroying it. The group then freed Tenzin, and together they continued fighting, eventually, being able to destroy all of the mecha tanks. Immediately after, however, the group realized that a number of Equalist airships were heading toward Air Temple Island, and so they quickly got on Oogi and flew back to Tenzin's home. Upon their arrival Tenzin discovered that Lin Beifong, along with Tenzin's children, had successfully defeated the invaders. Meanwhile, Pema was giving birth to her second son, Rohan. Team Avatar filtered into one of the temple's rooms to see the baby, but were interrupted by the realization that more airships were headed toward the island. Tenzin and his family escaped on Oogi, while Team Avatar used Naga to swim underwater back toward the city to hide into Republic City's sewers until the arrival of the United Forces.

Trivia

 * The name of the team is the same as the original Team Avatar, whom Sokka named. However everyone in the group seemed to like the name, unlike Sokka's experiences.
 * It is also known among fans as "The Krew", similar to "The Gaang". Both are incorparating the name of the current Avatar into a collective.
 * The team's methods of patrolling Republic City and dealing with criminals draw parallels from superhero groups most common in comic books, like the Avengers and the Justice League.
 * All the members have been arrested at one point. Korra when she first arrived to Republic City for destruction of public and private property; Asami was arrested as a non-bender being out past curfew, and Mako and Bolin were arrested when they objected Tarrlok's order to arrest Asami Sato.
 * Korra's Team Avatar bears similarities to Aang's Team Avatar. In both cases, there is a non-bender (Sokka and Asami Sato), both have only one member who comes from a wealthy family (Toph Beifong and Asami Sato), both have a member fighting against their father (Zuko and Asami Sato), both include sibling pairs (Sokka-Katara and Mako-Bolin), both have a large animal that can be ridden and a small animal (Appa-Momo and Naga-Pabu).
