Nickelodeon (ended 2014)
I don't know if it has been said but I have a strong feeling Amon is connected to Zuko. Nickelodean promised that there would be spoilers in the comic "the promise" and from what I read it seems as though Zuko went bad and Aang had to do something to him. Besides he is the only main character from the last show that we haven't seen in Korra so there might be a reason for that.

| Bumi would not resist it merely because he's the Avatar's son, he can not use the Avatar State. We haven't seen either of them because they are not relevant to any of the plot yet. (Reasoning behind Amon being the offspring of Yakone and Tarlokk's brother) 1. Amon was able to fend off Tarlokk's bloodbending with ease, he likely possesses the trait as well and is a stronger bender than his brother. 2. Amon put special emphasis on taking care of Tarlokk and leaving the others to kidnap Korra. Why would this be his first priority? 3. In the promos, we see what looks like Amon bloodbending both Mako and Korra to submission. There has also been a theory that Amon uses bloodbending to take bending away by disrupting their chi flow. Not half bad of one in my opinion. 4. Korra's flashbacks need to have more significance than that, Tarlokk is built up as some past enemy's son and then Amon pwns him in no time at all. The writers wouldn't waste that much time on something that didn't tie in with the grand plot. They occurred several times after encounters with Amon and only once with Tarlokk. Amon is still connected to those flashbacks. He has to be 5. As I said before the build up, we aren't gonna get herpderpit'sBumi. That'd be bad writing. Also Tarlokk and Amon's vary greatly, almost parallel. Tarlokk tried to claim the city from the top, while Amon rallies nonbenders to take it from the bottom. Lastly, how'd old Amon know where to go looking to find the place Tarlokk was keeping Korra? Pretty convenient. |
1: Has been chalked up to be a result of Villainess Willpower
2: He was confident that his followers could handle the Avatar in a box, he did say "I told you not to underestimate her". That or he wanted her to escape, he did only chase her when she attacked
3: They were probably electrocuted by the kai sticks guy
4: Shows Amons determination
5: Using your same frame of mind we aren't going get herpderpit's Yakone's secret love child atleast we know of non-bender Bumi's existence.
6: Amon can sneak an army of chi blockers onto the statue island with no-one noticing , smuggle equipment into the probending arena, take out a numberof police blimps and from what we've seen in the promo do sideway summersaults to dodge fire. Tarlokk was oppressing nonbenders I would have kept tabs on him if I was Amon
I don't think it's Bumi anymore (that avatar auto immune was just drawing straws) but someone we don't know, butif on the off chance it is Yakone's secret love child with Katara I'll be surprised

| 5. We didn't know of Tarlokk's relation to Yakone until recently, Amon can be Yakone's other child. Amon's existence is known, just not his identity. 3. But what I know is that I saw bloodbending in that promo, go find it on youtube before you go babbling on about electric sticks. 2. The point is why didn't he leave his followers to the menial task of Tarlokk, or even just leave Tarlokk lying there, it's not like he kidnapped Tahno. Amon treated Tarlokk as an even more important capture than Korra. 1 and 4. I don't see how Amon could have that kind of willpower when even Aang didn't, it's more likely he bloodbended his body back to normal and overcame Tarlokk's bending that way. I also never said Yakone and Katara....so derp. |
5: True but then if they were brothers why would he take his bending away
1 and 4: Simple Aang isn't a villain, it has been proven that anger/hatred is far stronger at motivating people
3: You said the way they were moving resembled blood bending the movements alsolook likeelectrocution and it may not be the kai sticks it may be the gloves
2: Tarlokk is a high Authority figure and as we've seen he has been oppressing benders Amon has a plan that might involve him.
Yeah I know you didn't say itbut you just know that theory is out there, I mean we've seen Katara being Amon. what else is there?

| Did anyone else see Amon seemingly Airbend when he attacked Korra? When she escapes, Korra throws icicles at him and Amon leaps forward, kicking up snow in a fog. As he jumps out of the fog he's protected by a tornado-shaped swirling vortex of air. This could explain how he is able to move so fast. I believe he is the offspring of Aang (probably Bumi). Aang showed Korra in a flashback that Yakone was a bloodbender and used that to communicate that Tarrlok was his son and learned this incredibly unique bending power from his father... but could Aang also be warning her that Amon is his son and learned this also incredibly unique power from HIS father? Amon passing through the fog protected could also be explained by him being a Waterbender, which is further supported by his resistance of bloodbending through the use of "counter-bloodbending." Equally feasible, if Amon is a pure Chi-bender it might be possible for him to bend any or all of the elements in addition to stripping people of their ability to bend. |

| Could Amon be Aang? Lol just kidding, but I like the idea that its another of Yakone's kids. Or maybe Yakone himself? If it is Yakone himself it would explain why he doesn't bend but can resist bloodbending and he knows first hand what energy bending is like... Doubt that its Katara. BTW off topic a bit but is Toph dead? I don't remember then mentioning it? |

It's never been said that Zuko was alive, just that there will be an episode coming that deals with him. It could be more flashbacks to Aang's life after the events of TLA.

Cause no-one asked, but yeah he's still kicking. Zuko's travelling around the world passing the message of peace
How do we assume that Amon learned his bending from a mortal? Where did Aang learn to energy bend? A lion turtle, a spiritual being within the show. I remember the first season of the last series the spirit world was active in the world as the physical realm. It makes me think Amon is lying about everything, Korra has had very little contact with any spirits, and we know from the series the spirit can resist bending much better than a person can, which could explain blood bending resistance. I just don't see why it cant be that the spirit world is angered by the lack of an avatar and teach others secrets that only they know. I like the Zuko theories, and Yakkone theories, but the writers had the spirit world hand and hand with the original series so I think it will play an important role.

| Amon uses bloodbending, it is not energy bending and it is most likely not permanent, just very difficult to overcome the disruption to the chi flow caused by it. |
I'm still going with the original theory that he's a chi blocker
Well thats true but the theory behind the chi blocking explains why they can't bend where as the blood bending is iffy. Now that I think about it wouldn't there be side effects to having your blood bent which would kill you.
