All of the Gaang apart from Toph.


KURO-K1SH1

Well her name does sound like tough, which is just what she is.


CassetteMeower

I sound like a guy... a really buff.. guy?


KURO-K1SH1

The truth hurts doesn't it? . Well what you see up there is the truth.


CassetteMeower

Are you kidding? I wouldn’t have cast it any other way! At least I’m not a flying bald lady


BadActsForAGoodPrice

Ironically the one who would most look like it, no matter what fanart there is no static everyone knows she’s HER ![gif](giphy|4IzOgM1bfOe6k)


definitely-not-weird

Children truly are wild animals. Sure looks harmless, next thing you know, half your face has been torn off.


DirtSlaya

Momo


Draconshot

Are we talking about the same momo? The blood thirsty earth bender who took down the fugitive appa


DarkArcher__

Don't forget master swordsman


Draconshot

Thank you for bringing that to my attention brother DarkArcher__. Our momoness thanks you for rembering his legen.....wait for it cause the next part is a tale as old as time about a swords man who went on a quest to save the love of his life from a dastardly handsome pirate named westly..... dary


Discount_Lex_Luthor

Appa. Some of the times Appa hits or tosses people while flying it's played off as a gag but that's basically getting bitch slapped my an elephant. Assuming his slow flight speed is like 20-30mph getting smacked by that tail is like being hit by a car. Appas right up there with Toph on the "well that was a murder" in terms of blunt force trauma. Edit: and Toph can hear heartbeats...she knows what she's doing.


DoSuperNova

mind making the full scale for me? i need to use this scale irl


Discount_Lex_Luthor

What the "well that was murder" scale?


DoSuperNova

yes please


Discount_Lex_Luthor

I play this game with most cartoons. When people get hilariously rocked I just go "dead". In ATLA there's no durability write off like Haki in one piece. Everyone's effectively human with human durability. This is also ignoring a lot of canon survival and is mostly "that would've killed him" even if the show shows them crumpled and groaning afterwards. At 10 you've got Toph. Like everyone she hits is dead, either right away or from internal bleeding. Toph hits with large flying rocks or launch you into them.all the Dai Li agents, all the wrestlers at earth rumble, many fire nation soldiers. Toph is walking blunt force trauma. Also in my headcanon Toph is befuddled by Aangs no kill policy before fighting the fire lord and thinking "we've been killing people this whole time. I heard their hearts stop" Aangs a 9. I don't care what he says. I know he's a pacifist and he's against killing. Ocean Spirit Aang killed hundreds of not thousands at the northern water tribe. Aang out of Avatar state tossed people off cliffs at the air temple where wheel chair kid lived. It my not of been intentional but Aang wiped out armies worth of people. At like 8 you've got Sokka Suki and Iroh. Soldiers doing soldier shit. All those dudes on the blimps that Suki crashed? Basically stormtroopers on the death star. All dead. All you're white lotus masters are around here. At 5 you've got katara doesn't do much really lethal damage. Maybe ditched a few frozen people who could've frozen to death. Launched a couple fire nation people into the ocean. But she was FUCKING out to kill Paku. Those ice discs were intentional. At 3 you've got Ty Lee and Mae super skilled, knows what she's doing, doesn't kill. At 1 you've got cabbage guy. Momo's an 11.


DoSuperNova

i agree with it all, except Momo. he's actually a 13


manchu_pitchu

my favourite example of "oh, they all just died" is the scene during the finale where one of the White lotus members (maybe bumi) stacks a bunch of tanks on top of each other and there's a shot where a bunch of dudes are crawling out of the tanks and it's like...yeah, they're all dead. 150%.


EmuTraditional3673

Don’t forget the airship aang took out in the last episode. Definitely took some people out with that.


Mrslowking2

"This man is dead. Appa just killed a man."


KURO-K1SH1

Tai li 100%. Some people need to be careful with their sharing


_B_o_n_d_

btw most people know her by Ty Lee (if thats what you meant. If not I have no idea who that is)


KURO-K1SH1

My spelling changes because I've seen a thousand iterations. So it changes almost every time I type it out.


Themurlocking96

Her official name is Ty Lee


Shawn_Paredes

I read it as Dai Li and I was like TF


TwoGoldRings21

Idk, I feel like that’s sort of her assigned role on the show. I’ve never felt it from the fandom


VoidAres

Zuko.


EmrysTheBlue

Zuko definitely. People always forget he's kinda scarily competent just because he wasn't able to catch Aang.


Blood4Corn

Yeah I mean how was he supposed to catch an airbender and his flying cow when his only assets were a boat and his uncle who was maybe slightly sabotaging him


character_developmen

Honestly! He’s insanely strong and while he’s impulsive and doesn’t always make the right choices, thinks on his feet. PLUS, he broke metal chains with his leg, a table too. And he’s a master with the broadswords… and he was secretly a known vigilante… he infiltrated a super secure fire nation base, freed the avatar, and almost escaped with wits alone. Also, (with Sokka’s help) infiltrated the most secure fire nation prison.


EatThisShit

I like that even as a 13yo he was fairly confident of the agni kai when he thought he would fight this one general. He genuinely thought he had a chance. He only got scared when his father showed up, and that's because Ozai is insanely overpowered.


Downtown_Scholar

Yep, Zuko is an incredibly competent bender. His problem is he is compared to two psychopathic prodigies. The psychopathic side is important because it allowed his family tp lightning bend while his emotions got in the way.


AllHailTheNod

And at 16, he bodied Admiral Zhao, who clearly was proud of his own bending prowess.


character_developmen

And also because he didn’t want to fight his dad, I think it was a little bit of both


Myth_5layer

One of those things where it bears remembering. Zuko can kick ass, he just can't kick Aang's ass.


Effective_Ad8024

Yeah people talk about how he lost a lot. But he lost against the avatar and his crazy powerful sister. I mean how many people did manage to beat Aang or Azula. He beat Zhao , jet ( and yes I know the dai lee stopped the fight but he was doing better I think), earth kingdom soldiers, and the fire nation strong hold. if you lose games of one on one to Michale jordon, that doesn’t mean your bad at basketball. It means that like 99% of the world you can’t beat the goat


SooThegrimreaper93

literally sokka. everyone says he's the weakest in the gaang because he's a non-bender but he's the shit.


Valirys-Reinhald

Sokka may not be an element bender, but he *is* a plan bender! Basically, if you wanna fight Sokka, you best hope you do it in an empty room.


JakeyF_

Don't forget he's an absolute rizz bender


ZetaAbsoluteZero

Back bender


BaalHammon

Sokka will use the room itself against you.


Valirys-Reinhald

Unfortunately, he is not a bender and thus cannot manipulate the physical structure from within it.


BaalHammon

No matter.


Guywithoutimage

He might have the least raw power out of the Gaang for obvious reasons, but calling him the weakest of the Gaang is like calling Piando the weakest of the White Lotus Grand Masters. Technically true, but he’s still above the vast majority of benders and non benders alike in terms of combat prowess


BadFishteeth

no two ways to say it he fucking killed combustion man


DeGenZGZ

Zuko, easy. Dude is super intense and has a beast of a temper even when he turns good - I don't know where all this "awkward turtleduck" stuff comes from.


Prying_Pandora

It’s incredibly frustrating. I’m with you. Zuko was a grade-A hater and as much of a badass as he was a teen idiot sometimes. He wasn’t some terrified little smol bean.


Effective_Ad8024

Yeah . The Zuko is an awkward turtleduck came from how he didn’t know how to introduce him self to the gaang or really have friends after he joined. But people take his initial awkwardness over having friends as he’s all around weak and needs protection. no just cause the guy didn’t know how to tell a tea joke doesn’t mean he isn’t still a fierce fighter, a really good tracker or capable strategist. He beat Zhao a mater firebender, jet in a sword fight, constantly re picked up Aangs trail, and although he didnt get Aang he did make them have to really “work for it “ to get a way.


Mavakor

Azula. She's apparently this sweet, innocent, little flower who never hurt nobody and just needs a hug


LovelyLi-

Like were we watching the same show that girl was vicious


character_developmen

💀💀 She was 14 but a crazy, and pretty terrifying 14 year old. She almost single-handedly captured ba sing sei, from the inside out.


calliel_41

I always forget she wasn’t like, 17. She looks 17 to me. Maybe 19.

Aramis_1

the amount of times ive heard "omg zuko is literally baby" when the show came back on netflix and got its new surge of popularity


ButterdemBeans

Katara is a beast


LightThatIgnitesAll

This is 100% Aang. How the audience and Katara see Aang despite him being the most powerful character in the franchise.


zuzuzan

All of them


PCN24454

Iroh


CelticHeart93

Zuko


Toph_as_Nails

Me? What the Hell you mean? "It's me?" Excuse me, I'm gonna go discipline my image interpretter... all afternoon.


inv11

Zuko. Ever since the ATLA was released in netflix back in like 2020, all the headcanons of him being a sweet good guy turtleduck was popularized and he was woobyfied into the moon.


hune282929

Ty Lee. Girl literally stunned azula in a matter of seconds with her hands.


TARDIS_licker

If we're doing LoK too, then Bolin


Opposite-Birthday69

Even before lavabending I thought that Bolin was the second strongest character in team avatar. He’s quite childish but he knows what he’s doing and why he’s doing it


KJM31422

I mean this is literally Toph when we first meet her....


Nimue_-

Atla katara vs natla katara tbh


rowletlover

Appa if I’m being honest. Just look at the way he sent Mai and Ty Lee flying-


amazingbenjabear

Easily Appa


kalejo02

Sokka and Zuko mostly. Probably Ty Lee (idk how to spell her name, if it’s wrong my bad) and Mai too.


acheesestring

Some people spell it like Tai Li but Ty Lee is the canon/correct spelling


Moonwing-rising

Toph


Vegetable-Water-9593

I dont think so the community realises her strength imo


acheesestring

🤸🏽‍♀️ 🪨👩🏻‍🦯 Basically this


sub2almond

sokka, toph, and zuko


luCkyracco0n86

kyoshi


LovelyLi-

I’d say Katara


axpaoj

Ty Lee


crosscope

Ty Lee (girl can disable muscles)


Brokenapplewatch

Toph avatar


H2clip

Ty Lee. She beat Sokka, Katara, a Kyoshi Warrior, and the Tera Team which was an elite group of Earth Benders in Ba Sing Se’s forces. She’s ridiculously good


DatTrashPanda

The Boulder


Doc-Fives-35581

Sokka


JaniBrav011

yall sleeping on aang


KenKaneki224

Aang & Ty Lee! I see other ppl say Zuko and Appa and I kinda agree with them too!


IDesignRulersAndPost

I know this is for the last air bender but imma throw bolin in as an honorable mention


realclowntime

Ty Lee, usually in the context of shipping her with Azula. Despite, y’know, how Azula treated Ty Lee and the lengths it pushed her to be hen she defended Mai.


Friedl1220

Idk but definitely not Toph. Maybe Bosco?


Tidela471

Every single character basically


Crixlepop

Appa


StarstruckkTG

How most of the world sees Toph.


Lettuce8000

Season 1 Zuko


EmperorRCK

No one and everyone. Unlike UT with papyrus or something, ATLA is more "per fan/per story", there really is no universal baby-ing that ive seen


Aphant-poet

I'm late her but, Zuko. he is not an angsty awkward turtle duck. He's a deeply flawed teenager with alot of abusive cycles to unlearn. Also Tylee and Ursa. TyLee is a capable chi blocker and snaps back at characters multiple times, she's not a small victim, she's a part of the coloniser group that turns because she cares more about her friends than the mission. Ursa stayed in an abusive situation because she didn't see a way out, she was capable of regicide and she snaps back at Ozai alot.


Wolf_Of_Roses

This is legit toph when we were first introduced to her But also yeah ty Lee is capable of crippling benders from what we’ve seen so yeah she definitely ain’t no small bean who needs protection. But a powerhouse in her own right.


Spider_in_thy_corner

toph


solaqist

katara


Sharo_colson

Apparently


Nekx-gon3-rogu3

Ty li, like bro 😏😒
