I've decided to create a third 'Dark Avatar' post, focusing on solely the agenda that is potentially over-arching the entire series. This is my take, based on my "Evil Twin" origin:

After the Dark Avatar Spirit was sealed inside what would be known as Sozen's Comet, the world knew relative peace. The Avatar was free to maintain the balance of the world, unaware that he/she was inherently out of balance. Over the course of 1000 generations of Avatars, the celestial prison spiraled its way from the outer reaches of the void, until the Firelord known as Sozen became obsessed with the rapidly approaching comet. When it passed close enough to be bent, he and those who also touched the comet??became consumed with the seductive power of the Dark Avatar Spirit, but did not have the combined power to break the seal, and so the comet moved on to spiral the void once more, but was close enough that only a hundred years was required before it neared the world once more. The exposure to the Dark Avatar Spirit was enough to corrupt Sozen's spirit and those who also touched the comet, giving them a lust for conquest, and an insatiable hatred for the Avatar of Light. After the war was started by the corrupted Firebenders, it merely became a sense of destiny that sustained the war for the hundred years. And now, the Comet is racing through the void, where thousands of Firebenders, instead of just a few hundred, are waiting to touch the comet, and unwittingly break the seal...

Ive read your theory several times and it seems more fanfiction then legit.

Why don't just keep it simple instead of givinag us a crappy story. And if you haven't please take out the shadow and light bending crap.

??I can see a 'Dark Avatar' as a possiblity of a future villian. But one with multiple possiblities of occuring. From a dark reflection of the Avatar, to a mystical process of binding elemental spirits to a person, to steal a person's bending to an evil spirit with knowledge of multiple bending. If it is natural for the world to have one Avatar and a second one shows up, it could bring chaos until there is only one. Things like the elements going crazy and supernatural diasters occuring.

??I am not sure about Shadowbending, but I can see tainted bending as a possible future plot element. The idea that the taint increases a person's bending powers and skills but corrupts the element and the person is a good plot element. One that could work independant or working with the Dark Avatar element.

??Also with the Comet, it could be a prison but it could also be an omen. Perhaps a signal in a prophecy that hints at a future trouble that could be occuring in the future. Or it could be a key to a gate that seals a greater evil that can act more in the world as the seals are opened.

Just some randoms thought. But we must know that the creators might have a few wild cards up their sleeves.

The Dark Avatar's agenda is to waste thread space by making the same topic on numorous threads about something that's never going to happen in the show.

There I said it.

1. Good idea for Avatar!

2. I believe there is a 45% chance of this

3. everyone who hates this: whoever made these threads is just expessing his ideas and specualting for future episodes??and creating fan fiction. there is nothing wrong with that. trust me, there are useless threads created everyday since the airing of the secret of the fire nation and this one is for a good cause. so whatever.

4. This is a good theory because no one knows how sozins comet got its power. i mean, i can't just be out of nothing-ness!!!!!

The DA Theory is a good one and one that could carry Avatar for quite some time (Gantros, I think you said three more seasons?) which is a lot more than any other story arc??I've heard.

I also agree with the "evil twin" cliche, however. A lot of shows have evil twins, or something similar. That being said, every hero needs an anti: one who can bascially kick their butt the first time around, causing the main character to go into more training. The DA is Aang's anti, although I don't think that they should be twins. They could have been "born" at the same time due to the universe's need to maintain balance in light and dark, but they shouldn't be twins. The DA also needs to have a body, though, that does not look like anyone in the show, but is very dark. All the while that the DA is inhabiting Azula's body, the DA should be sort of building its body and when Aang defeats Azula, the DA leaves her body and shows his/her/its true form (but I don't know what it should look like).
