The Joker always tells a different story when someone asks him who he is... One or two things are consistent, but the rest is made up according to the situation (in order to look intimidating).

So, the possibility that Amon background story is made up, is there.

Now, regarding the fact that Bumi is Amon... well its hard to belive, but it would be a twist. I mean, it does not makes much sense that from two benders a non-benders is born (genetics), especially considering one of them was the avatar, and Katara non-bending genes would have to be rececives genes. So, Bumi could be an Energy bender. Could he be Amon?, maybe. Are there reasons or evidence to prove this? not at the moment.

Only thing I can come up with is the fact that Aang's hope in humanity always seemed to die a little when people used their powers for their own benefits (always benders -also consider the fact that after the genocide on the Air Tribe the only benders that seemed to meditate and connect to the spirit world where Aang and Iroh-). After the event with Tarlok father, he may have started resenting them a little and passed Energy bending to his son. Then maybe he also had a bad experience as a "no-bender" that led him to the path as "Amon". But this is just wild guessing and whishful thinking for a good plot twist from my part :P

What actually tickles me is the fact that Amon ability IS Energy Bending... and if you read about it, you can see that before people could bend elements they bent energy, then this Energy Benders learned to bend the elements from spirits, animals, and whatnot. My point is that Amon as the leaders of the equalists is kind of an irony... He is an actual bender, and he could learn to bend the elements as the first benders did. So here may go the theories that he knows bloodbending and thats why Tarlok was not able to stop him.

I hope someone reads and understands this, I'd like to know what other people think about my "grasping for straws" theory XD
