Avatar the last airbender who is amon

At its core, firebending is about passion and life, not anger and destruction. Katara really did lose family to a firebender, but Amon did not. Amon wields many weapons against his enemies, such as Team Avatar, the metal-bender police, and the United Nations. Not only can he rally a huge crowd to the cause and use all kinds of new tech, but he uses fear as a weapon, too. Used correctly, terror can absolutely destroy an enemy's capacity to resist, and Amon uses everything from his mask and unique powers to threats on the radio and ambushes to drive Korra into a corner.

Korra even had nightmares about her encounter with Amon at the Aang statue. That, and he uses more conventional terrorist methods as well, such as attacking the city council members and threatening the pro-bending arena. This is the lieutenant, a powerful and loyal member of the Equalist revolution.

And how did Amon repay his loyalty? By bloodbending him and tossing him aside upon being outed as a waterbender. And it's not just him. Amon and Hiroshi made sure that Cabbage Corps took the fall in Future Industries' place during an investigation.

All kinds of people suffer unfairly after Amon has used them, since he sees them as tools and convenient cover rather than loyal subjects. Amon was the first major villain to face Korra, and in some ways, he hinted at what was to come. He shares some elements with the Airbender anarchist known as Zaheer , who was another major challenge for Korra. To begin with, they both had a major problem with the avatar, and wanted her gone. Amon also set the tone for Zaheer's interest in overthrowing the status quo and shaking up the world and its leadership.

Amon took down the all-bender council of Republic City, throwing it into chaos, while Zaheer wanted all kings and queens disposed of. Amon set the stage for the very next villain: Unalaq, the chief of the Northern Water Tribe. Amon is a Water Tribe native, like Unalaq, and thus they both challenge the "good guy Waterbender" paradigm, just like Hama once did.

Waterbenders are usually heroes in this franchise since water is soothing and nurturing. Later in his monologue, Amon mentioned that the current tyrannical bending regime would soon be replaced with "a fair minded, Equalist" government. To this end, he planned on disposing of the bending arts in Republic City, his idealized start to eventually equalize the entire world.

Declaring the revolution to have begun, he devastated the central playing field with a timed explosion before leaving the arena through the roof on an airship. Boarding the zeppelin, he narrowly escaped Korra's firebending attack and disappeared altogether. Amon nearly effortlessly overcame Tarrlok 's bloodbending abilities.

Days later, Amon, accompanied by the Lieutenant and a group of Equalists, found Tarrlok in his cabin deep in the mountains surrounding Republic City. Upon being warned that it was his time to be "equalized", the Councilman defended himself by bloodbending his attackers.

Although his henchmen were easily subdued by Tarrlok, Amon's skill in the practice allowed him to resist, much to the Councilman's shock.

When asked what he was, referring to his ability to overcome the effects of bloodbending, Amon simply responded that he was "the solution" and proceeded to take Tarrlok's bending.

He chose to handle the defeated Tarrlok on his own, as he was worried that people would find out that they were brothers. While taking care of Tarrlok, he ordered his fellow Equalists to retrieve Korra, who was trapped inside a metal box in the basement. He warned his men not to underestimate her and ordered them to electrify the box, which would leave her knocked out when they opened it. However, as he was putting Tarrlok in the truck in which they had arrived, Korra stormed out of the cabin, having overpowered the other Equalists.

Noticing Amon, she shot several ice spears in his direction; the Equalist leader evaded them all and briefly gave chase, but stopped when Korra made her escape by swiftly gliding down the snowy slopes of the mountain. When the Lieutenant and the other Equalists joined him in watching the Avatar leave, he scolded them for having underestimated her. Amon and Hiroshi Sato led the battle for Republic City. Amon observed the start of the battle for Republic City from an airship floating above the metropolis.

Eventually, his airship was in the vicinity of the police headquarters as Tenzin and Team Avatar were fighting the Equalists' mecha tanks. After Hiroshi Sato , who was present aboard the airship with Amon, expressed his disgust while watching his daughter fighting alongside benders, the revolutionary leader promised him that he would have his daughter back soon. That evening, after the entire city had fallen, Amon arrived on Air Temple Island , where his followers brought a captured Lin Beifong to him.

He offered her the chance to keep her bending in exchange for information regarding Korra's whereabouts, but at her defiant refusal, Amon proceeded to take away her bending. After the original inhabitants had fled, Amon re-purposed Air Temple Island into his base of operations and had his followers bring forth all captured benders in order to strip them of their powers. He had taken residence in the tower on the island and also used it as a makeshift prison for the captured Tarrlok.

As he left the island in an airship for the Equalist victory rally at the Pro-bending Arena, Mako and Korra, disguised as Equalists, infiltrated the island and learned his backstory and true identity as Noatak. Amon and his followers tried to thwart the rescue of the airbenders. With the city under his control, Amon held a victory rally at the Pro-bending Arena. As he retold his fabricated story from the Revelation rally, he was interrupted by Korra, who addresses him by his true name and outed him as a waterbender who used bloodbending to take people's bending away rather than the alleged gift given to him by the spirits.

Korra continued by revealing Amon was the son of former crime boss Yakone and Tarrlok's brother, much to the audience's shock. Though his family tree was revealed by the Avatar, Amon remained calm and confident and refuted Korra's accusations by taking off his mask, revealing the supposed scar on his face that was bestowed upon him by a firebender. Using convincing makeup to fool the audience, Amon managed to turn the tables and make Korra out to be the liar in the eyes of his supporters.

When the Avatar and Mako were about to leave, Amon urged them to stay, directing their attention to Tenzin and his children whom he had captured.

Aiming to "rid the world of airbending ", he invited them to come down to the stage to try and stop him. Arrogantly turning his back to the duo to face Tenzin, he was forced to jump out of the path of Mako's lightning attack.

Although he was able to easily avoid Mako's fire blasts, the air swipes that the freed Tenzin threw at him proved to be too much, and he was flung off the stage. Amon removed Korra 's bending. Amon recovered quickly and went after Korra and Mako, who were acting as a diversion to let Tenzin and his family escape.

He found them in one of the arena's storage rooms and subdued them easily with his bloodbending, believing that they were alone with no witnesses. However, after taking away Korra's bending, Amon realized his distraught lieutenant had witnessed the whole thing. Being denounced as a traitor by his second-in-command, Amon was forced to defend himself, using his bloodbending to easily stop the attack and send his lieutenant flying into a pile of wooden boards.

The distraction provided Mako with the time that he needed to charge a lightning attack, enabling him to immobilize Amon so he could grab a severely weakened Korra to escape. However, Amon caught up with them quickly and again used his bloodbending to effectively halt them. He prepared to take away Mako's bending, musing over the fact that no one else had been able to get the better of him, and that it was almost a shame to take bending away from one so talented.

With his attention drawn away from the downed and seemingly powerless Korra, Amon was completely caught off-guard when she, seeing Mako in danger, suddenly unlocked her airbending and used it to knock him away from the firebender. As she unleashed a barrage of air attacks upon him, flinging him through the hallway, he briefly regained the upper hand with bloodbending.

Korra, however, managed to break his hold on her, blasting him out of a window into the harbor below with an air kick, where he began sinking rapidly into the sea after losing consciousness.

Amon's identity as a waterbender was exposed. Unaware that the water had washed his fake scar away, he regained consciousness underwater and instinctively used his waterbending to emerge from the sea on a gigantic water spout to avoid drowning, exposing his waterbending abilities to his followers that were outside.

Realizing he had lost all of his leverage and followers, Amon quickly made his escape, dropping back into the water to avoid Mako's barrage of fire blasts. He managed to make his way back to Air Temple Island, where he released Tarrlok, expressing regret for what he had done to him and once more offering his younger brother a chance to leave with him so they could start a new life together, as he was all he had left in the world.

The two brothers acquired a speedboat and made their way out of Republic City, journeying across the Mo Ce Sea. Once we learned Amon himself was a bloodbender, more powerful than Tarrlok, it made sense.

By reflex he waterbent himself to safety but in doing so washed off his makeup. This quickly exposed him for a fake and he lost all support amongst his followers. He managed to escape with Tarrlock in a speedboat but was killed when Tarrlok used an electric glove to blow up the fuel tank.

At the time everyone assumed he had to be someone from the original series or at least a person related to them. Amon is the mysterious leader of the underground Equalist revolution and is the main antagonist of Book 1: Air. He wears a mask to conceal his face, burned by a group of firebenders or so he claims. He is a nimble, stealthy fighter who shows no fear even against the highest-level bender. He is apparently capable of taking away the powers from any bender a skill previously only possessed by the Avatar.

His ultimate goal is to rid the world of bending.
