Kuvira

There is literally no evidence and its almost impossible.

First, there is a long age gap between them as Jin was born before 90AG and Zaheer after 110AG.

Second, Kuvira's biological dad looks nothing like Zaheer. See? Zaheer had long hair before he shaved it.

Third, When Korra brought up Kuvira to Zaheer who was in jail, he had almost no idea, and what kind of father doesn't know his daughter?! He only knew rumors about her.

Unlike the last ones where the fight takes place where the OG final fight takes place, I think this fight has to be outside of Zaofu to be fair. The inside of the Colossus is a no go for all of them. Because none of them can get in.

Aang: Aang beats Kuvira, but I'd say only this setting. Because if there was enough metal to form a box, Aang isn't escaping that (what is it with firebenders having trouble melting metal?). Anyway, in this situation Aang beats Kuvira. Kuvira is very fast. But, Aang is faster. Without the Avatar State he can toss her around with air. Aang would only be in trouble if she were to pin him in the air with metal. Without metalbending Aang is kind of screwed. But, if he was in such a situation, he could try to enter the Avatar State and try some type of air blast that could distract Kuvira causing him to drop to the ground. But, I feel like Aang getting all metaled up is unlikely, because I repeat, Aang is as fast as the wind. Anyway, Aang traps Kuvira in earth, and would have to immediately take her bending so she doesn't break out of her earthen confines.

Yangchen: Yangchen's fight would be faster. Like Aang, she'd start off with some hard air gusts, and move faster then Kuvira (isn't Yangchen faster then Aang?). If the fight gets difficult for some reason, Yangchen could use her scream and completely knock out Kuvira's ear drums, hurting her long enough to suffocate her or crush her with a rock.

Kyoshi: This fight is harder then people think. Kyoshi wears a lot of metal. Her fans, her chain mail, and her head dress are all metal. This leaves her in a terrible situation. It also doesn't help that Kyoshi's big and kind of slow. If Kuvira acts very quickly, she could just lift Kyoshi in the air and try to suffocate her or hurt her with all the metal she's wearing. This would definitely suck for Kyoshi, but I doubt that Kuvira will be able to kill her this way. Kyoshi can breathe fire, and she could just go into the Avatar State and shoot out a flame with her mouth, hopefully distracting Kuvira, or burning her. It all depends on how far Kuvira is. Kyoshi would have to lose basically all her armor, which really sucks though. Anyway, an opponent of this magnitude would be immediately on Kyoshi's have to kill right now to do list. Without her fans, airbending and earthbending on a smaller scale is going to be hard. But, with what she has, she can still try to make the entire area a hell scape. She could either a) create a giant chasm and with all her might crush Kuvira in it, b) lavabend everything, or c) hopefully get close enough to Kuvira to freeze her internal organs. Anyway, option a) is the most likely choice, and Kyoshi's power (especially if entered into the Avatar State) would crush Kuvira. Or burn Kuvira. Or freeze Kuvira. Kuvira loses.

Wan: Wan would have the best chance winning against this villain then the other 4 I did. It is unclear the range of Kuvira's metalbending, but if Wan gets onto his cloud and gets up there ASAP, he might be able to dodge it. In Beginnings, we see that Wan can send sizable blasts of fire from the sky as well as well as bend the earth bellow him. In theory, he could glow it up, and shoot some of that fire at Kuvira. Kuvira would either a) move, b) push rock over her to protect her, or c) burn to a crisp. If Kuvira survives, she can't do much but throw rocks at Wan. He can evade or catch them and throw them back. Kuvira could try the dicey move of pushing a column of earth into the sky for her to stand on. The only problem is that if the action isn't done fast enough, Wan can aim a good shot of fire. Anyway, Kuvira would either get into the air and kick Wan off his cloud or aim so well from the ground that he falls off. Anyway, a good metal jab, and he's dead.

Kuruk: What is Kuvira going to throw that's going to stop Kuruk? The metal would probably hold him in place for a little bit. The Avatar State is great. Anyway, he'd knock Kuvira around, always getting up when getting hit, and then a good punch will kill her. And if you're thinking I'm giving Kuruk too much credit, please re-read his chapter in The Shadow of Kyoshi.

Roku: Kuvira would probably try the good old strangle him with some metal technique. Roku's head piece is medal, and she could probably try to strangle him with it. I doubt it will work, but she could try. Honestly, with all the power Roku has when not trying to fight a volcano, he could take down Kuvira easily.

As I think about these fights more in depth, I feel like I start to realize how powerful and weak characters actually are in different situations.

I'm feeling very CBR-ish. But, accurate. Bold is good, Italicized is bad.

5. Kavik. Kavik has been shown to be smart, swift, direct, and also a great wrestler. He can understand the games (as long as their not political) put in front of him pretty well, and then win. His experiences in fighting in small spaces as well as being in a ring before would help him here. He also doesn't rely too much on shifting water's form (like turning it to ice) or large movements (which we'll see is a problem for those who should not probend).

5. Yun. Yun is a very talented earthbender. Better then Kyoshi in many ways. But, his earthbending talent kind of hurts him here. Yun is used to making creative moves. He excels with the earth under his feet (kind of like Toph), but he doesn't have it in this case. All he has is disks. Disks that he can't use to make the creative and powerful moves that he usually makes. No liquifying of earth is possible here. He will fail.

4. Rangi. Similarly to Kavik, Rangi is a quick thinker and has spent time in the ring before. Her moves are direct, and pretty powerful (maybe a little bit too strong for the rules sometimes). She's also quick (which is one of the biggest factors in pro-bending). Rangi would make a good pro-bender.

4. Katara. Katara is fast and has a smaller stance. That definitely needs to be noted. But, a big feature of Katara's attacks is ice and different ways of using the water to strike. Ice is not allowed, which immediately takes away a lot of good moves, but she also has a similar problem like Yun's. The creativity of her attacks won't help her here.

3. Kuvira. Though known for her metalbending, the way Kuvira moves with such speed, grace, and power would be useful in pro-bending earthbending. I can see her bending disk after disk very quickly, and like Korra, maybe winning all by herself. Her biggest problem would be her occasional lack of thinking.

3. Kyoshi. Kyoshi uses a wide stance that is easy in such a fast paced game to knock over. Her earthbending is helped by her use of fans, but without them, bending the disks without destroying them from her power will need some concentration. Her height also factors into this, as being as tall as she is makes her an easy target. Kyoshi would not be good in pro-bending. But, I can see her winning earth rumble.

2. Azula. I can see Azula as being on the bad list, but to me she has more strengths for the good list. Azula is (say it with me) fast, and very strategic minded. She will analyze her enemies weakness quickly, and try her best to exploit it. Her moves aren't too wide, and her blasts don't usually miss by a lot. The biggest problem would probably the heat of her flames.

2. Aang. Technically Aang wouldn't be able to participate at all due to airbending not being part of the game (yet), but if he were to use the other elements. he'd be just as screwed. A positive for Aang is that he's very fast. A negative is that he isn't the fastest at the elements he would be allowed to use. Aang also uses a wide stance in 2/3 of the bending he can use, which again, will lead to him being knocked over. There's a reason why Aang basically only uses airbending in fights.

1. Zuko. Post-dragons Zuko is faster and more direct with his strikes. No longer are they inaccurate or on the weaker side. His fight against the red lotus, where he is fighting harder then even Eska and Desna (who are way younger), really shows this best. His stance isn't too wide, but, occasionally it does get to be a bit large. But, he makes up for it. Zuko would be my top pick.

1. Toph. If it were a regular fight, Toph would beat everyone. But, pro-bending isn't a regular fight. Toph can not see, and thus is always using seismic sense. In this fight it would give her a couple of benefits. Well, 2 benefits. She could feel how her opponents stance changes and feel where earth is that is in the air. But, other then that, her seismic sense doesn't help. Because, unlike what she usually does, Toph is not bending the ground below her and her opponent. She's taking the disk and throwing it. Now, Toph does have good aim, but her power (like Yun) comes from being in constant contact with earth. She can't just create a mound of rock underneath her or her opponent. She can't even sneakily bend her own opponents rocks. Toph's stances are also very wide, leading to her being an easy target for waterbenders and firebenders. She also can cause minor problems by crossing the lines without realizing it. Toph would suck at pro-bending.

This girl firstly, came over early. With something they didn’t expect and on top of even entering the mecha giant, she had a safety switch to override the other saftey switch inside the heart of the mecha giant, and then ON TOP OF THAT, she had a safety lever on the weapon itself. She wasn’t playing😂🤷🏽‍♀️

PERSONALLY!! I think Korra had the worse avatar experience (I’m just now getting into this fandom so maybe my opinion will change once I read these kyoshi novels. Please don’t attack me I’m just on a rant)

I think to be the avatar is a lot on one’s shoulder and all had their faults and issues they dealt with, But korra from the youngest known age, knew she was the avatar and was filled with Hope and positive affirmations about her duty as the avatar. She also started practicing and training at a very young age and showed rejection to it as well. She was excluded from the outside world for majority of her time training so much so she didn’t know what homeless people were or common services like food tents, and when she did finally did get to assume her role as the avatar people started coming for her title. Not because of who she is, more so what she was and that terrified her.

This ain’t happend just once, this happened 3 times. She had to deal with a revolution, in which she became an avatar that only had access to airbending. Fortunately Aang and the rest of her past lifes were there and could finally help and connect her back with those elements. She had to deal with what the very first avatar dealt with and fell into the trap by someone she trusted and loved. All that resulted in her losing her connection, that she finally had to all the avatars and battling Unavaatu, in which she won and restored the avatar cycle, but not her past lives. In the same year she faced a group of evil masterminds trying to once again, destroy her as the avatar and comes to find they worked with her uncle to kidnap her as a child and after a whole lot of fights they capture korra and poison her. She fought until the very end, fortunately again, Suyin was able to metal bend a hefty portion of the mercury poison out of her but the smallest amount left inside her (unknowingly) caused her to be bounded to a wheelchair for some time, she healed slowly and she was hallucinating.

For about 3 years she wasn’t herself and went through PTSD alone for about 2, and when was herself again and wanted to return to republic city, she had to face another threat, a conqueror named Kuvira who wanted to take zaofu, and republic city. She fought against her and lost, causing Kuvira to succeed in taking Zaofu. And when they fought again, revealing she got some sort of super weapon, she and team avatar and Allies worked together to take down the Mega mecha suit tank. She got her 1v1 with Kuvira when she was herself again and flashfoward to her chasing Kuvira threw the forest, Kuvira had a safety hatch on that weapon and was ready to blast korra with it. When it came down to Kuvira vs the blast korra jumped infront and forged an entire new portal.

I think it's possible for her to Earth bend naturally but what are your thoughts about this.

The procedure causes Kuvira to recall another memory of her childhood, from after she was taken in by the Beifong's. In the memory, a young Kuvira demands to be allowed to play with a young Opal's dollhouse and destroys it with her metalbending when Opal refuses. Opal calls out for Suyin, who comes in and asks Kuvira why she destroyed the dollhouse, with Kuvira replying that she does not know. Suyin urges Kuvira to learn to control her violent impulses, lest she hurt someone in the family the same way she hurt her mother, but Kuvira replies that Suyin cannot tell her what to do, and storms off. Opal asks if Suyin will punish Kuvira, but Suyin explains that they have to give Kuvira some slack after everything that's happened to her. Opal refuses to accept Kuvira as her sister and remarks that no-one wanted her, including her biological parents, causing a sad look to appear on Kuvira's face.

In Ruins of the Empire (2019–2020), Kuvira is revealed to have been adopted by Suyin Beifong as a child after being abandoned by her birth parents, Jin and an Earth Kingdom couple.

Some people like to say that an adult Aang could wipe the floor with all of Korra's villains. But, I disagree. So, this is my opinion on how he would do against her villains (this is adult Aang I'm talking about):

1. Aang vs. Amon= It could be either one. Amon is probably the second most powerful villain in the Avatarverse. He can take away bending without energybending, is very speedy, and strong. People like to say that Aang would wipe the floor with Amon because he'd just go into the Avatar State and break out of the bloodbending like he did with Yakone. But, I think people forget there's a good second before entering the Avatar State, and Amon was shown to be very fast at taking people's bending. And by closing those chi paths, Aang would probably lose the Avatar State. But, there's also the question of when Aang enters the Avatar State. In character Aang doesn't usually enter the Avatar State immediately in fights. But, if he did, Amon would probably screwed. So to me this is very much in the gray area

2. Aang vs. UnaVaatu= UnaVaatu. Korra was only able to defeat UnaVaatu because she knew spiritbending. Something Aang does not know. UnaVaatu would destroy him.

3. Aang vs. Hundun= Hundun. Like UnaVaatu, Aang would need spiritbending to do this, and Aang does not have spiritbending

4. Aang (if he wasn't poisoned) vs. Zaheer= Aang. Aang is a way better airbender then Zaheer, and could probably defeat him just with air. Aang takes this one

5. Aang (if he was poisoned) vs. Zaheer= Zaheer. Aang would never have been able to make it out of that cave. He'd just go into the Avatar State and die from Ming-Hua's icicle and Ghazan's lava.

6. Aang vs. Kuvira= Kuvira. She just has to trap him in a metal box. That's it. All she needs to do.
