Most Powerful Avatar Benders

People can if they are lucky beat him when he's just bending the elements regular, bu if he goes into the avatar state, you are screw ed. I mean, he did die in it one time, but that wasn't really his fault. He couldn't really do anything about that. But in the avatar state, he could lift the entire ocean to put out a forest fire. That's saying something.

King of the benders, completely understood the philosophy and the physical application of bending. While he may not have been the best specifically in some elements (earth and fire) his combination of them being the Avatar made him more powerful.

He was not Avatar, yet at the same time was able to exploit different techniques to make his bending more unique and powerful, breaking free from most firebending conventions. He likely lost some power in his old age but Iroh was well aware of how powerful his bending could be and when to use it properly.

Could have taken down the fire lord himself if he tried. Best character and most powerful by far!

Iroh is amazing! Everyone underrated his power at first!

Yes yes we all hate Azula but you can't deny that she is really powerful. She's a Firebending prodigy, can't forget that, and according to the fandom she was only like fourteen when she hunted the Avatar. She could already produce lightning and she was only FOURTEEN. She is immensely powerful, even if she is a villain.

Her blue fire and lightning wielding made her a true threat to be reckoned with. not to mention her exceptional agility and cold calculated strikes make her at least the 2nd most powerful firebender in history behind her father. Iron is not more powerful than she is, and the only leverage he would have in a fight with her is redirection and even that is still giving him very little of an edge. She is capable of wielding lightning more efficiently than him.

Toph got to kick two avatars' butts. This is a thing that not many people can say. AND she has THE BEST relatives. (Except Lao, I haven't forgiven him yet). Back to the bending thing... She INVENTED Metalbending! Not many people can say that they INVENTED a whole new style of bending. And also *Spoilers for the rift ahead! * she literally held up the weight of the world, like, twice. First, with the library, and then, at the Earthen Fire Refinery, she held up the entire world, while waiting for her students. Also, she trained Lin. That is good.

Firelord for a reason. Even though we saw him at his most powerful under a comet that enhanced his abilities, Ozai clearly has immense power under his belt as the Firelord.He can fly, he can shoot lightning at ease. It's easy to see why he was such a threat to Aang.

Being the Avatar is cheating, but the fact that Korra has access to all four elements makes her exceptionally powerful. Less philosophically focused than Aang, but more physical and aggressive, and had the ability to weave attacks at ease.

Honestly I've never watched The Legend of Korra but Korra is the Avatar and I doubt she's exceptionally weak like or else they wouldn't have made a TV series here, so yeah.

By far the strongest outside the avatars in avatar state. Overall blood bending (without needing the full moon or even night) is overpower and not only could he control bodies but also take away bending powers.

Only blood benders superior to Amon and the Avatar state can resist Amon. He loses because he still fundamentally loathes bending and would not go all out with his power.

While we don't see too much of his waterbending, Amon's combat abilities are incredibly potent and his ability to remove bending is a brutal skill that's put to great use.

I think she's so underrated. She's very powerful, she can bend in Northern, Southern and Swamp Water tribe styles. Also she learnt bloodbending just watching it once and if she wanted she could improve her bloodbending skills, but she just hates it. She maybe weak physically, but with her bending she's so powerful

Let's not forget that she defeated Azula. I know Azula was mentally unstable, but so was Katara, since Zuko was about to die. Also, Azula had Sozin's Comet, which made her way more powerful.
And remember the fight in Ba Sing Se? Katara was definitely overpowering her

King bump is a BEAST. In season 1 he was hardly even trying and he pretty much beat Aang. During the solar eclipse, he was trapped in his cell, escaped AND reclaimed the whole city of On a shy BY HIMSELF. This guy should be at least in the top 5.

A patient, muscular and philosophically perfect Earthbender. At over one hundred years old, there was no one more stubborn or more crushing, having some of the best moves possible and escaping from some of the wildest escapes and antics possible.

He fricking killed a queen and nearly destroyed the avatar cycle for all time. PICK HIM!

He's very strong! He killed a queen!

A one man army, Kuvira demonstrates extreme adeptness at earthbending by throwing metal shards and her quick and adept earthbending, able to blind, control, and stop anyone in their tracks. She easily bested the Avatar early in her season.

She's a better villain then any one I have ever seen! She's so amazing!

She's a metal bending master that utilizes neutral Jing like nobodies business.

She's a very powerful fire bender. She had the ability to chi block an opponent, now that's insane!

Ty Lee is super good at acrobatics and chi blocking. She's super quick but by the way she is not a Firebender.

Ty Lee can take away bending! WHo says no?!?

Mei is also powerful. As powerful as Ty Lee, so I don't see why she's 14. I mean, seriously!

If you are gonna add Korra characters in this list. The blood benders from the series easily beat all other characters as blood bending vs other elements is like Dumbledore vs muggle. Look at "Full Yakone Flash Back" at youtube to see how powerful he is.

Not really a bender but still strong as one!

He ain't a bender but let's be honest he would be freaking powerful if he was. Anyway, I think he is perfect how he is
