Tarrlok is a person you do not want to cross paths. He is the one who can manipulate a persons body, mainly through blood and parallel to it can control people from behind the curtain with his super manipulative skills.

Being the son of the head of a crime syndicate (Yakone), Tarrlok also possess the water bending art and is member of the Northern Water Tribe.

The combination of his exceptional speed, bending arts, chi blocking and evasion techniques it is literally impossible to defeat Amon. this is also the reason his father calls him a prodigy.
He is also the elder brother of Tarrlok and in comparison is better than Tarrlok when it comes to controlling the opponent.

Zaheer is a powerful individual possessing the air bending art and strong conviction.
Though he has had this art only for a shot time but he is already a master of the technique. Justice for Basco and anarchy are his driving forces.
Being a believer of anarchy means he wants a world where there are no separate nations.
Meaning people who want to live in a government-free society should approach him. In this spirit he kills the the Queen and also causes havoc in the world.
Similar to his air bending powers, he is someone who is known for causing chaos.
He is quick with his moves because of the supporting force of the wind currents and his attacks are accelerated by the wind force.

Tenzin is the youngest child of Avatar Katara and Aang and is a master of air bending and spiritual arts. We expect him to be a calm and wise man, but no he is a blood lust. Tenzi displays no care or mercy for his opponent.
He has the ability to move faster than lighting or the missile projectile used to attack him. Tenzi has quick reflexes and in one word is a “Hermit”.
Even though he resides in the Northern Air Temple alongside the Air Acolytes monks and nuns, he still gives out a teacher vibe throughout the series. He uses a glider to manipulate the air currents.
2. Unalaq
Unalaq is a Dark Avatar and the chief of the Northern and Southern Water Tribes. He is someone you do not want to mess with.
His features are very much similar to “Chief Powhatan” from Disney’s Pocahontas.
He does not just associate with dark spirits but can also open spirit portals.
We see in the series that he works hard to free Vaatu from the Spirit World jail, of course for his personal gain. If they merge successfully, Uanlaq will be able to declare himself as the Dark Avatar.
His impressive trait is his spirit bending abilities that makes his mark in the show.
1. Korra

The very first scene we see her, we know that she is here to make big moves.
Korra belongs to the Southern Water Tribe, this means she can manipulate water.
She possesses various bending arts energy bend, fire bending, earth bending, and water bending. Also, how can we forget her ability to surpass the “Avatar State”.
She is typical protagonist, who started a romantic connection with her best friend. For this instead of being demotivated the fans appreciated this soft touch to the series.
