I call double benders Avatahs

the fact that this became a thread is quite sad.

there was already a thread on this if not more:
http://www.tv.com/avatar-the-last-airbender/show/28841/bending-genetics-or-not/topic/13281-281930/msgs.html&page=0
everything that been said here so far had been said there and more, it was somewhat argeed by the end that bending was not genetic.

Yeah, otherwise Sokka could waterbend.
Although that would be cool, and he could make like cool little Ice Boomerangs.

Itd be interesting... not sure whether through genetics or through hard training, but ive thought of people bending multiple things

I have thought about all of the possible hybrids, and I came up with these solutions. Some need a little more thought though: Air+Water=Cloudbender Air+Earth=Sanbender Air+Fire=Gasbender Water+Earth=Mudbender Water+Fire=Oilbender Earth+Fire=Lavabender Air+Water+Earth=Lifebender Air+Water+Fire=Steambender Air+Earth+Fire=Smokebender Water+Earth+Fire=Sludgebender Air+Water+Earth+Fire=Elementbender(other than Avatar)

I like the idea of hybrids... but I dont know. Cloud bender... a water bend can easily do that, since a cloud is a gas form of water... gas is steam of different elements... though, if one was both a water and an air bender, itd help the waterbending side to fly up to the cloud to bend it.

I originally did not say that the combinations were based on genetics, only that the combinations are the likely result of two or more different disciplines.
Also, although the sandbenders only have the power to earthbend, sand is earth with an air-like quality. The same can be said of an earthbender or a water bender bending mud or slurry.

Air+Water=Cloudbender

Check The Fortuneteller episode of season 1

Air+Earth=Sanbender:

Has already been explained that it's just earthbending...

Air+Fire=Gasbender

The only mean of gas that occurs in avatar is gas form of water there is nog other gas.

Water+Earth=Mudbender

Already shown how they do that.

Water+Fire=Oilbender

Water and fire doesn't create oil... it's a completely diffrent substance a substance that doesn't occur in avatar only coal is around in the avatar world.

Earth+Fire=Lavabender

It's the same as mud bending, but only avatar roku has been seen doing it, also i think a firebender alone is able to do it just look at first episode of season 2 the avatar state.

Air+Water+Earth=Lifebender

Life bender???
you mean leaf???
if you do mean leaf it has already been explained in the swamp.

Air+Water+Fire=Steambender

Steam is nothing but hot air... also when you see the episode The Drill of season 2 katara is bending steam by herself, how cuz it's only another stage of water.

Air+Earth+Fire=Smokebender

smoke can be bend by an airbender cuz it's mixed with the air but can not be bend like air itself by an airbender it's just the air that it's mixed with that's getting bend.

Water+Earth+Fire=Sludgebender

IS MUD just read that comment about the mudbender.

Air+Water+Earth+Fire=Elementbender(other than Avatar)

Damn do you even watch this show everybody knows that to keep balance one has to know all elements.

I don't think you have watched this show good enough...
why becuz half of you mixes are already done or explained in the show itself.
Also it is impossible for someone to bend 2 (or more) iffrent elements, why cuz that would ruin the balance.

I hope you understand, if not then i wasted my time writing this stuff for nothing...
and i don't like that .
