Realizing that he had lost everything, Amon dodged Mako's blasts of fire and fled, deciding to reconcile with Tarrlok and start over. They escaped out to sea on an Equalist speedboat. Amon, now going by his true name, happily spoke of how there was nothing they could not do together, and shed a tear. Tarrlok, however, used an Equalist glove to ignite the fuel tank, causing the boat to explode, killing them both and putting an end to Yakone's vengeance plans for good.
Over the course of the next six months, Korra used Energybending to restore bending to all of Amon's victims excluding criminal members of bending triads. Amon returned in Book 3: Change, as one of Korra's hallucinations when the Red Lotus administered mercury poison into her body.
During this visage, Zaheer 's face slowly crumbled, revealing Amon's mask, telling her the world didn't need her anymore. Amon also appeared briefly in Book 4: Balance, where Varrick included a zombie version of Amon as a foe to Bolin along with Zaheer , Vaatu and Unalaq in a comical story. Amon is really only seen in the story acting annoyed with the boring Unalaq, who kept trying to get involved in the group's evil plans against their wishes.
About halfway through the story, the reanimated zombie Amon is completely forgotten about, and after the story was over, Bolin even remarked that "Zombie Amon"'s fate was never explained. However, Varrick didn't seem to mind that his story made no sense and told Bolin that the facts should never get in the way of entertainment. Amon was mentioned by Toph, when she explained to Korra that even through Amon fought for the wrong side, his intentions of wanting equality for all was a reasonable motive.
Instead Republic City had a democratically elected president that gave non-benders a voice above benders and finally equalizing non-benders and benders. As a child, Noatak was caring and fair-minded. He strove to treat everyone equally and protected his younger brother, Tarrlok, from their father's verbal abuse.
However, after being corrupted by bloodbending and enduring the burden of Yakone's expectations for several years, Noatak grew cold and distant. He assumed a more detached persona and showed disregard for the suffering of his bloodbending victims, including his own brother.
Eventually, Noatak fully embraced both his power and his independence by forcibly halting his father's abuse of Tarrlok, flaunting his power over him, and denouncing him as weak.
Unlike Tarrlok, Amon reveled in his bloodbending abilities. He idolized Avatar Aang's ability to remove an individual's bending, believing such a skill to be even more powerful than bloodbending. In time, Amon devised his own technique to sever a bender's connection to their element through bloodbending, an action only known to be reversible with energy-bending. Amon harbored a severe abhorrence of benders and regarded bending as an "impurity" to be "cleansed". This stemmed from his belief that bending only caused suffering and that benders possessed an unnatural advantage over non-benders.
He was a staunch believer in what he viewed as equality, affectionately referring to his followers as "brothers and sisters". Despite being a bender himself, Amon sincerely believed his anti-bending rhetoric, having striven to be fair and treat everyone equally since he was a child. Ultimately, it was a misguided desire for justice that led him to start the Anti-bending Revolution. In order to "correct" perceived inequalities, Amon employed fear tactics; he openly threatened benders and relished his enemies' powerlessness and terror.
He stoked hatred against benders and sowed division between benders and non-benders, both to garner sympathy for his cause and to turn the populace against the bending establishment. He was merciless and unwavering in his anti-bending convictions, even being willing to kidnap and de-bend helpless children. Amon was clever and composed, as well as a convincing orator.
He was a gifted public speaker who knew how to mystify and terrify his allies and enemies alike. The cult of personality he built around himself was a major factor in the widespread following he attracted, as well as the terror he spread throughout the bending community, including the United Republic Council.
Despite his great power, Amon often took defensive or strategic positions, such as when he allowed Korra to escape his rally and spread word of his abilities to the city. Later, Amon refused to take up Korra's offer for a one-on-one fight and spared her bending, foreseeing that it would make her a martyr for benders and thus unite them globally against his cause. His proactive and logical thinking typically put him "one step ahead" of his enemies. Amon was a calculating and manipulative individual who executed his schemes with great foresight and efficiency.
He took extra steps to ensure the success of his plans, even going so far as to create a fake scar to support his pseudo backstory. Unlike Korra, who often attempted to engage him openly, Amon was cautious and avoided direct conflict unless he was making a statement, such as his organization's show of power at the pro-bending arena. Amon's unwavering strength of will and high level of self-control made him a charismatic leader and a formidable opponent.
Even in the midst of conflict, Amon retained a calm composure and recovered swiftly from any blows to his plans. He demonstrated a similar command of self-discipline in his dealings with his allies, always delivering orders calmly and succinctly, and only scolding lightly when they did not heed his warnings.
Only mortal danger could slip up Amon, whose survival instincts led him to waterbend in front of his followers.
However, even in a distraught state, he briskly regained his composure and used his strength and skill to escape.
Amon was an incredibly powerful waterbending master; it was stated by his brother, Tarrlok, that he had never encountered a bender as strong as Amon. Drilled relentlessly by his father in waterbending, Amon displayed a natural talent for waterbending from a young age, quickly impressing Yakone and ultimately mastering the art under his father's tutelage. A true prodigy, his mastery of the art was immense; he was capable of launching himself out of underwater on a gigantic waterspout and propel himself over the surface at a speed exceeding that of Mako's fire blasts.
He could also bend on instinct and rapidly respond to adverse conditions. Amon just as quickly mastered the rare and outlawed art of bloodbending, becoming exceptionally proficient and powerful at a young age. Under Yakone's tutelage, he mastered the technique to such an extent that he could perform it at any time, without the aid of a full moon, by the age of fourteen. At the same time, he mastered his father's unique ability to psychically bloodbend, which allowed him to bend not only through physical movement, but through sheer focus and strength of will.
He was able to use more common bloodbending techniques, such as body manipulation and torture, on multiple targets without exerting much energy. He could levitate his targets, throw them around, subdue them, and knock them unconscious.
With his skill in psychic bending, he was able to minimally alter the movements of his opponents and give himself the advantage without revealing that he was a bender. He also exhibited the ability to resist bloodbending with little effort, even against Tarrlok, who had mastered the skill to a similar level.
Despite growing fascinated by this skill, he ultimately desired more, wanting to have the power to remove people's bending, just as Avatar Aang had done to his father with the use of energybending. He eventually succeeded in this goal by using his mastery of bloodbending to "sever" an individual's bending connection by blocking their active chi paths, effectively achieving the same result as energy-bending.
No medical intervention was effective in reversing this effect, and even Katara, a world-renowned healer and bloodbending expert in her own right, was unable to reverse its effects. The only known way to reverse Amon's bending block is through the use of energy-bending, as demonstrated by Avatars Aang and Korra. Amon was a versatile combatant outside of his bending abilities.
Due to his need to hide his true nature as a Waterbender, Amon largely relied on martial arts and Chi Blocking to fight.
Amon's style tended to be nimble and graceful to avoid close-ranged attack, and made the most of his natural agility. He augmented this with small applications of Bloodbending to defend against and redirect attacks.
Quick on his feet, he dodged Lightning Bolt Zolt's fire blasts with no effort as well as his lightning blast near point blank range. Amon also demonstrated strong physical resilience, and was able to quickly recover from powerful attacks the most prominent example being his quick recovery from a point-blank lightning bolt fired at him by Mako.
Aside from his combat abilities, Amon also possessed great intellect and charisma, making him a master manipulator. He effectively masqueraded his bloodbending technique, which he used to sever people's bending, as a mystical weapon given to him by the spirits. He was able to maintain this facade consistently even under the heat of battle. A gifted political strategist, he accurately portended that if he removed the Avatar's bending too early in his revolution, it would only end in Korra becoming a martyr, ensuring that benders across the globe would unite against his anti-bending agenda.
He took his charade to such heights that apart from wearing a mask, he even applied make-up to fake a large facial scar to legitimize his fabricated story of being mutilated by a firebender in order to further drive bending hate and sympathy for his cause.
As evidenced by the multiple attacks orchestrated by the Equalists, Amon was also a capable strategist and tactician, outmatching other organized forces such as the Metalbending Police Force and the United Forces armada on several occasions. He was also well-versed in terrorist tactics, subverting non-benders by manipulating their hate and bestowing fear upon benders, always seeking a psychological edge against his opponents, and consistently using intimidation and threats against his numerous enemies.

In the series' new, modernized world, cities are compacted thanks to the nations intermingling, crime seems to be running rampant and tensions between benders and non-benders are rising. Benders vs. In The Last Airbender, most people born without bending take on unique skills that allow them to be as effective as any elemental; however, in the age of industrialization, many non-benders have stopped learning to fight and benders use their abilities for self-gain, like sports and work.
It creates a rift among the citizens of Republic City , where non-benders feel the world treats them as second-class citizens. Amon comes on the scene as an answer to their problems. A man who hides behind a mask, Amon claims to have been chosen by the spirits to fix the balance with his powers to remove someone's bending.
