Looking closer at the animated series that follows Avatar Aang, the only person who can use all four bending arts: earthbending, waterbending, airbending, and firebending.

Nickelodeon Shows

The season finale of season 2 fight in Avatar: The Last Airbender&nbsp;is criminally underrated. &#39;The Crossroads of Destiny&quot; is filled with new bending styles and critical character development, beyond just Zuko&#39;s. Read our full breakdown below!

Until&nbsp;The Legend of Korra,&nbsp;airbending was all but lost to the world following the Fire Nation&#39;s attack on the Air Nomads during Firelord Sozin&#39;s reign. Avatar Aang, the last airbender, carried this legacy until the birth of his son, Tenzin. Thus, ranking the strongest airbenders proves a bit of a challenge, considering there&#39;s so much new blood in the bending discipline. Nevertheless, there are&nbsp;still a number of powerful airbenders fighting for the top spot. Are you an&nbsp;A:TLA&nbsp;purist and stand by Avatar Aang as the most powerful airbender of all time, or are you more inclined to go with the ever-subversive Zaheer, the anarchist airbender that achieved an airbending feat not seen in thousands of years?

Vote up who you think are the strongest airbenders&nbsp;in the world of&nbsp;Avatar: The Last Airbender&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Legend of Korra!

Animated

Let&#39;s be real for a second: waterbending is arguably the strongest bending style in the world of&nbsp;Avatar: The Last Airbender&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Legend of Korra&nbsp;and nobody is mad about it. With the ability to heal, phase shift the element between a solid, liquid, and a gas, and even control the fluids inside a living creature via bloodbending, waterbending has the potential to be the most dangerous powerset if it&#39;s put in the right (or wrong) hands.&nbsp;

In the years since Aang saved the world from the impending threat of the Fire Nation, many waterbenders have achieved mastery of the art in hyper-specific fields. Are you a fan of Kya&#39;s unparalleled healing abilities, or are you more of a traditionalist that just wants to see Master Pakku utterly destroy some Fire Nation soldiers? This is a list of the strongest waterbenders in&nbsp;ATLA&nbsp;and&nbsp;Korra.&nbsp;Vote up who you think are&nbsp;the strongest waterbenders!

Most people wouldn&#39;t disagree that&nbsp;Avatar: The Last Airbender&nbsp;is one of the most acclaimed and popular animated series to ever grace TV screens. But if there&#39;s one thing that stirs up debate among the ATLA fandom, it&#39;s whether the series can be categorized as an anime or cartoon. While ATLA is technically a cartoon (given that it&#39;s an <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-animated-series/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">American animated series</a> rather than a Japanese one), it&#39;s <a href="/list/historical-and-cultural-influences-in-avatar-the-last-airbender/jgu" target="_blank">cultural influences from Asia</a>&nbsp;make&nbsp;it similar to an anime. Regardless,&nbsp;ATLA will always be an honorary anime in our hearts. And there are hilarious memes on the Internet to prove it.&nbsp;

To a lot of folks, Avatar: The Last Airbender stands as one of the greatest triumphs in animation. It was a near-perfect story that blended action, heart, humor and a dense mythology accessible to everyone. Although its sequel series,&nbsp;The Legend of Korra, wasn&#39;t met with the same level of praise, it&#39;s still a solid entry in the Avatar series that many people enjoy. Of course, you can&#39;t be a&nbsp;successful show without accumulating <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/avatar-the-last-airbender-fan-revelations/raelyn-giansanti" target="_blank">some wild&nbsp;theories</a> along the way, and with a fan base as passionate as this show&#39;s, you can bet there are some insane&nbsp;<a href="/list/best-avatar-the-last-airbender-season/ranker-tv" target="_blank">Avatar: The Last Airbender</a> fan theories.&nbsp;

Water. Earth. Fi... yada yada yada.&nbsp;In the world of&nbsp;Avatar: The Last Airbender&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Legend of Korra,&nbsp;most of the spotlight falls on the superpowered and highly capable elemental benders in the series, which is fine! The only issue is that if you focus on the flashy, you miss out on some amazingly powerful normal people that are weirdly the most relatable characters in the series. Sure, we viewers can&#39;t shoot fire out of our hands, but we could absolutely pick up a sword and take a swing at one of the oldest martial arts in existence. Some of the most powerful nonbenders aren&#39;t even fighters; they&#39;re inventors, political figures, and idealists, some of whom have just as much influence over the world as the Avatar themselves.

This is a collection of some of the most powerful nonbenders in&nbsp;Avatar&nbsp;and&nbsp;Korra.&nbsp;Vote up who you think are the most powerful nonbenders!

Is it hot in here, or is it just a redeemed Zuko? Firebenders in&nbsp;Avatar: The Last Airbender&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Legend of Korra&nbsp;are usually seen and not really talked about because their powerset is pretty self-explanatory. They point at things and they go boom. Or they wave their hands and things go boom, and so on and so forth. That doesn&#39;t mean firebenders aren&#39;t highly skilled martial artists who utilize a number of different techniques to rise to the level of master, though.

Whether you&#39;re a fan of&nbsp;traditional firebending masters&nbsp;like Uncle Iroh or a ruthless tactician&nbsp;like Princess Azula, only one can reign supreme. This is a list of the strongest naturally born firebenders, so you won&#39;t find Aang or Kyoshi on this list. Vote up who you think are the strongest firebenders&nbsp;in the world of Avatar!

Avatar: The Last Airbender isn&rsquo;t just a fantastic animated show, it&rsquo;s one of the best pieces of television ever produced (and if you loved it, you can check out our list of more&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-to-watch-if-you-love-avatar-the-last-airbender/watchworthy" target="_blank">shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender</a>).&nbsp;It&rsquo;s exceptionally well-plotted, has an incredibly intricate yet accessible&nbsp;world, great fight scenes, and characters you instantly fall in love with. But if you really think about the world and the show itself, you&rsquo;ll start to find some things that are pretty messed up. Seriously, it&rsquo;s about a group of small children on a dangerous and extremely emotionally stressful quest to save the world. That&#39;s objectively pretty horrifying.&nbsp;

When you&nbsp;delve into everything these kids have gone through, it&rsquo;s easy to draw conclusions about the world that put them in that situation. Sure, the Fire Nation was pretty awful, but what about the forces of good that are constantly putting Team Avatar in harm&rsquo;s way? Or the inherent classism associated with bending? For all of it&#39;s bright colors and madcap action, Avatar: The Last Airbender is much darker than you think it is.&nbsp;
