Most Powerful Benders In Avatar Ranked

The adventures of Aang and his friends have completely changed the cartoon landscape. The beloved show that follows the one young kid who can potentially save the world is a landmark animated phenomenon that people can’t get enough of. The show was absolutely packed with interesting and beloved characters, all who presented a unique skill set. I mean, that’s what happens when there are four elements to bend right? But out of everyone, who is the most powerful?
I know that’s a tough question since there’s different criteria for everyone. Like can you really compare the stubborn, straightforward power of an earthbender to the tranquil and soothing movements of a waterbender? I guess I’m going to try! This list will rank every powerful bender based on skills and raw ability so who do you think will come out on top? Will Azula or Zuko be the more powerful sibling? Is Toph the greatest Earthbender of all time or does that honor belong to Bumi? And out of all the Avatars we’ve seen on the show like Aang, Korra, Kyoshi and Wan, just which one is the most powerful? So many questions! I feel like Sokka on Cactus Juice!
So join me today as I talk about the best cartoon of all time! After you’re done, be sure to hit that big like and subscribe button for more awesome Aang-related content like this. Oh and be sure to leave a comment telling us what you think of Netflix’s live action adaptation of this or else Aang is going to get frozen in ice for another 100 years. Better not risk it. Let’s get started, right now!

If you had $10, and every bender is worth $1. What's the team you would put together to take on every villain from that universe?

[@chandupaperera44]

Wan, Zaheer, Ozai, Aang, Korra, Amon, toph, Katara, Zuko, Iroh

[@darkneon5637]

Zaheer is the best

[@thatonedude473furryrights8]

Korra, Aang, Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, Yangchen, Wan, Toph, Katara, Zuko,

[@wondervaltrek8672]

Aang, Toph, Iroh, Azula(I know she's a villian, but just imagine if she's good), Suko(in his prime), Bumi, Wan, Korra, Jinora, Tenzin. Best to worst(preferred).

[@vgameingz4959]

Needs to be mentioned that Tenzin was extremely close to beating Zahir easily until the others joined in.

Good catch!!

[@Goldenswagger359]

Tenzin was honestly whooping Zaheer. He would of won but my man’s Tenzin got Jumped instead.

Tenzin would have easily beaten zaheer in a 1 on 1 he didn't get hit once in their duel as he is a true airbending master, and has mastered its movement, unlike zaheer who is self taught.

Character is everything after all, Korra still whooped powerful characters than her all because their characteristics were awful, that can't be changed so it comes with whatever ability you bring, unless if you want him to say "if." The shows ended leaving these characters that way and that's how we all see should judge them

[@marccalveras5112]

@@Befreelikedobby if he’s talking about their Prime, it isn’t that strange. Adult Zuko may be the most powerful firebender ever. He trained with Dragons and Iroh when he was 16, discovering true fire bending and mastering Dragon’s fire before he was 20 and also mastered jet propulsion and lightning generation. You add that he already mastered lightning redirection and he is probably the most complete firebender. You have to keep in mind that Azula never got to develop all of her power bc she was crazy, and that the only one who knew true firebending was Iroh, the difference is that Iroh mastered true fire-bending being an adult (between 40 & 50 years-old) and Zuko did at 16, so the last had much more time to perfect it and improve it… And we can’t forget Zuko was in the top 5 of non bending fighters (Ty Lee, Jet, Piandao, Suki)

he is he is just at the avatars section

[@someoneoutthere9728]

Amon was never even actually defeated. They just exposed him as a bender but he was never beaten in battle lmao

technically his bloodbending was overpowered by korra ( barely but not even in avatar state ), even tho it was for plot convenience but yeah ... he didn't really lose a fair 1v1

[@zeed4267]

​@@Depressed_until_dead The thing is, it wasn't, Amon underestimated Korra cause he thought she was defenseless he didn't expect Korra to use airbending or else he would have applied more force

Also Hamma is a great waterbender and also bloodbender. Also Master Jeong Jeong is clearly more powerfull then Zuko and Azula

[@RinZ3993]

​@@calebcossey5636 The ability to fly is a sign of a good airbender but not necessarily a good fighter. What would be Zaheer be able to do that Tenzin can't beat? Come at him from a different angle? Pick him up and drop him? Tenzin could probably use his bending to break the fall. I don't see Tenzin losing to Zaheer.

[@nickwilson6393]

Amon needs to be ranked higher. Only person except the avatar that can take bending away

[@davidknowsbetter8495]

This whole ranking is all over the place

[@brawlstarspro9354]

This list is completely wrong. JINORA above AMON?! What is she gonna do against him if he doesn‘t get cocky? And even then, Korra and Mako got utterly wiped and Korras bending got wiped before they pulled out a deus ex machina and somehow won.

[@vetarlittorf1807]

That wasn't a deus ex machina. Korra was able to airbend because the combination of losing her bending and seeing Mako in danger opened her mind to all possibilities. And Amon had plenty of chance to fight back, but Korra resisted his grip and defenestrated him.

[@brawlstarspro9354]

@@vetarlittorf1807 Well thats true lore wise, and it does make sense lore wise. But I meant them resisting his grip. Korra wasn‘t able to resist the grip of a Tarrlok she just hit with a rock wall and blasted him down with 50 rocks down atleast a story, why should Korra or Mako be able to resist Amon, who is canonically way stronger? And if you argue that Instalightning is a no-movement based move, which still wouldn‘t be able to be pulled out imo but ok, how would characters who do not have instant lightning (Ozais lightning still has a second of charge time, enough to hinder Ozai to shoot it, and Irohs/Azulas lightning is too slow, at least counting in Azulas EoS version) even tag him once, like Jinora?

[@vetarlittorf1807]

@@brawlstarspro9354 Well, believe it or not. Bloodbending can be resisted through sheer strength of will (though not as effectively as being a superior waterbender). The only reason she couldn't resist Tarrlok is because she wasn't as driven in that situation and was shocked at Tarrlok's revelation. And Mako only resisted Amon because he was lucky. He had already charged before being bloodbent, so all he had to do was point at Amon and release the lightning.

[@brawlstarspro9354]

@@vetarlittorf1807 Resisting bloodbending trough sheer stength of will is not lore, but common sense breaking. I mean someone is activly moving something inside of your body. The only thing that makes sense if if someone has lots of muscle power and moves his body and minimizes the control a bit. And imo only a stronger BLOODbender can resist another bloodbenders grip. Katara was a bloodbender when she resisted Hama. Amon was a bloodbender when resisting Tarrlok. And when did Mako charge that lightning bolt? The only times we saw someone release a bolt with no charge time was either trough a cut (Iroh, Azula in S&S) or they were still making gestures with their hands. Mako however made that bolt without any gesture. Its like punching someone without moving your arm. So the scene is PIS and it doesn‘t make sense.

[@vetarlittorf1807]

@@brawlstarspro9354 By that logic, being a superior waterbender (and no, Katara wasn't a bloodbender when she resisted Hama) shouldn't work either. Nor should the Avatar State. Bending lightning is not comparable to punching since punching is strictly physical whereas lightning is both spiritual and physical. Mako was charging the lightning. Charging lightning requires you to separate the internal negative and positive energies. The circular motions are just to enhance its destructive potential. So since Mako only separated the internal energies in a hurry and used minimal movements to enhance it, the lightning was only powerful enough to tase Amon. Heck, in the Kyoshi books, Xu Ping An was able to shoot MULTIPLE lightning bolts with no movement at all.

I wanted to mention that I feel Zuko doesnt get enough credit for his bending because he's compared to Azula. He has a great talent in controlling his body temperature as we see in the boiling rock and when he melts the ice above him in the northern water tribe. After learning the true secrets of firebeding from the dragons (the original firebenders) I would argue that he became on of the best firebenders in the series. Not to mention his ability to redirect lightning from the strongest firebender in ATLA. Adult Zuko was a true master

[@jovemokuryu3048]

I read the novels, I disagree. What I've seen thus far is that, while strong, she has a tendency to lose to those who are more skilled and precise. Case in point, she was vastly more powerful than both Jianzhu and Yun yet could only stalemate the former and only defeat the latter by means of trickery (this being even after she had the help of Wong, Kirima, Jinpa and Rangi). Even arguing that Kyoshi is more powerful is a bit contentious seeing as, unlike Aang and Korra, she lacks the ability to bend energy. This technique allowed Aang to remove a person's bending and Korra to tank an attack capable of boring holes in mountains.

[@wkgames7516]

There is an argument to be made that Kora could defeat Amon at her peak (the Avatar state seems to break blood bending). Can you really argue that Iroh, Toph, or Ozai could stand up to Amon?

I'd say Zuko is a medium fire bender. Kuvira should have been on the list of most powerful benders. Less Avatars because, they control all elements and have the Avatar state, Toph is arguably THE strongest bender of all time.

Medium? By the end of the series Zuko was fighting toe to toe with Azula who is a firebending prodigy and also do not forget Zuko mastered the original way of firebending with dragons Kuvira i doubt could beat anyone on this list at all I am still confused as to why she was made the final villain for Korra in the series.

Amon should be the strongest one that is not the Avatar. He could beat any bender without moving a muscle, and take his bending easily. The only one can avoid the affect is the Avatars and more powerful blood benders, and Amon is the strongest blood bender. Tenzin also should be higher ranked then Zaheer, since he kick is ass until the other members of the red lotus helped him defeat Tenzin. Zaheer was extremely good as a beginner, and he could levitating, which Tenzin couldn't, and yet, Tenzin had years of training under the Avatar itself, with all the wisdom he possessed from his predecessors. I also think that before her emotional breaking, Azula was a better fire bender compare to Zuko, but they were equal at the last battle, and Zuko had all the time after the series to master his fire bending, so their places in the list are looking right to me. Kora also suppose to be stronger then Kyoshi and Aang, since she can enter avatar state at will to gain their power and abilities, and that is why all the Avatars are the strongest benders, maybe except the earliest Avatars. Also, it's kind of a shame to forget to put Paku and Jong Jong in the list, since both have been refereed to as the greatest of their bending, and that including that first blood bender, which her name I forgot. they at list got to be close to Bumi, right under Iroh and Ozai. You also forgot Appa, the greatest Air bender of all time :)

Oh my gosh, when you said melon lord, it took me a good 25 minutes to figured out what you meant

[@robyrogo1843]

The fact that Yakone isn't on this list is just a shame, period. He completely knocked out a whole room of people by bloodbending them WITH HIS MIND, if this is not enough for top15 then idk what is.

[@masonderulo2949]

Not to mention one of the people in that room was adult Toph lol

[@mohammadzaidi1017]

if u think about about it, katara played a big part in saving the world because if she didn't break the iceberg then aang would've probably been stuck there forever and he wouldn't have had a chance to take down firelord ozai

[@Ocean3404k]

I want to start this by emphasizing that I have yet to watch the last Airbender, however I have watched korra so I will be giving my thoughts on the legend of korra side of this list. 1) I think it’s unfair to have the avatar in this list as the avatar is the most broken character in the show. Aang, kyoshi, korra, rokko etc are all stronger then non avatar benders and should have a ranking list that pertains to them only. Avatar state is the most broken thing in the series. It is even shown to be more broken then the second most broken thing in the series, bloodbending as neither korra nor aang were affected by blood bending when in their avatar state. Putting wan below anybody that’s not an avatar is an insult to me and my pubic hair. 2) Amon should be so much higher on this list. Honestly I think Amon should be the only one below the avatars. Bloodbending is incredibly broken especially when you’re able to telepathically bloodbend like Amon. Not to mention Amon didn’t need the moon to be full in order to bloodbend, not to mention Amon is the only person who wasn’t the avatar that was able to take away people’s bending. Not to mention amon is proficient at martial arts and was able to dodge and evade korra’s and mako’s attacks amongst other people. Bloodbending is the most broken thing outside of the avatar state. Only the avatar in the avatar state can beat bloodbending as I said they seem to be unaffected by bloodbending when in avatar state. 3) if you think zaheer is stronger then tenzin you’re smoking dick. Tenzin is an airbending master with at least 5 decades of airbending mastery. Zaheer has only been airbending for like idk 3 weeks. Now while it’s extremely impressive what zaheer was able to do with only being an airbender for 3 weeks, he would still lose against tenzin’s decades of air bending mastery. As a matter of fact my boy zaheer was getting washed by tenzin in their fight, and the best part is that tenzin wasn’t even breaking a sweat. Dude was toying around with zaheer. It took the other 3 red lotus members popping up and quad teaming tenzin in order to beat him. Now, if zaheer had 3 or more decades of air bending experience instead of 3 weeks then this would be a different argument. He does seem to be a natural and he was proficient at martial arts before he acquired air bending. Not to mention he’s studied air bending for years before even obtaining the power to air bend. In short, given the context of the show, tenzin is stronger then zaheer by far. If zaheer had a lot more years of experience with airbending this would be a different argument. 4) Genorah jinorah genjutsu whatever her name is being on this list is laughable. While I do like genjutsu’s character, I don’t think she has any spot in the top 30 characters let alone 15. Cant speak on the rest as again i haven’t watched the last airbender. Only thing I can say is that I find it very hard to believe that anybody from the last airbender, besides aang, is able to hang with Amon. Bloodbending is just…. Too good dawg. Blood bending is the saitama of avatar. Broken for absolutely no reason

[@nickname8245]

Aggree with you completly...but you should definitly catch up on atla..or maybe you are already done watching atla...what do you think of it..do you regret watching korra first or do you think tlok is better. Would be nice if you respond my guy

@Wes Bradley-Taubner yes sir

[@samuelclayhills3298]

I would by ten Amons the only people that could reliably beat them are people with the avatar state. Airbenders would pose a bigger chalange but would still be doable. Earthbenders if they get the drop on them could do damage but would still be taken down. Also my boy Ghazan was dissed. Think about it. Toph without earth and metal is basically helpless while Ghazan is still a threath.

[@93derekmusic]

She can Lavabend too tho so I mean yes hand to hand he has it but ehhh. She had her food over a pit of lava in the swamp.

It logically doesn’t make sense for korra to be that low tho

[@vilstef6988]

Tenzin is rather like Felix Mendelssohn's Father. His Father was a respected and learned Rabbi, and his son was a great classical composer. He himself said, I've been the son to the Father and the Father to the son. He was a successful Banker. I couldn't help but think of Mendelssohn II in a generational progression for his resemblance to Tenzin who might become overlooked despite his wonderful human qualities and relatability.

Kyoshi should have been number one. She not only had a mastery of the elements seen in very few avatars (including lava bending). She was also a master of chi being able to extend her life to 230 years.

Ok but like when jinora got her master’s tattoo and shaved her hair she looked so much like Aang when tenzin took her hood off

This is just a popularity contest. Amon was more powerful than any bender. He wasn't even really defeated.

[@arjaytraquena5316]

This ranking is really stupid

[@alexanderneppalli1710]

I think katara and zuko should swap places as katara didnt get any buffs until blood bending whilst zuko grew stronger and actually was ale to best the fire lord at one point( before his major buff)

[@AlwinaRuthCloete]

In the show zaheer lost to tenzin. Just because he was ruthless doesn't mean he's more powerful

[@tatataetaeee9325]

Okay I respect and liked your video but totally do not agree with the list but it‘s my opinion so cheers!!😅

[@damo.r]

Not including avatars the strongest bender in my opinion was Ozai, I feel in a straight fight he'd beat any bender from korra, he is the strongest firebender and I think that even people like bumi would get demolished by Ozai, also Tenzin is stronger than Zaheer even beating him up the entire time till red lotus saved Zaheer

[@masonderulo2949]

Yeah there’s nooo way Ozai could possibly bear Amon, Tarrlok or Yakone,

[@damo.r]

@@masonderulo2949 maby not yakone but he'd beat amon and tarlok and kuivira and zaheer

I disagree with this list, though I prefer Avatar Aang I think Korra is more powerful than him

I don't think so because avatar Aang learned all four elements in like a few months but Korra learned all four elements in more than 17 years!!!
