RELATED: Avatar Legends: A Guide to Korra's Era in The Last Airbender TTRPGĬonsider how Tenzin can clear a breathable bubble of air around him and the metalbending officers when the precinct is flooded with gas, or how he uses the same maneuvers to manipulate incense in spiritual ceremonies. When it comes to fine control and weaving his airbending into a combat style rather than a constant tool for evasion, Tenzin stacks up favorably. Aang could make a funnel of air to launch ammunition or sweep away dust obscuring the battlefield, but more often than not, his creativity and imagination came at the cost of more pragmatic maneuvers. By that metric, many of Aang's talents were impressive and incredibly versatile while still not quite proving as practically applicable as his son's. To really look at their skill in the elemental martial art, it's important to take the full scope of their abilities into account. Tenzin's airblasts never quite reach Aang's levels, but the art of airbending is far subtler than just being a matter of who produces more force.

During his battles with mecha tanks, Tenzin proves capable of not only knocking them around, but even on one occasion launching one high into the air, from where it lands on a nearby rooftop. However, his son Tenzin is no slouch in the power department either. He could instantly cool a wall of lava, destroy gargantuan pieces of machinery with blasts of air, and even ended the series by redirecting Ozai's flame at point-blank range while it was infused with the power of Sozin's Comet. As the youngest airbending master to earn his tattoos, from the start of the original series, he proved to be one of the most powerful benders around even before he gained the use of the other elements. It's hard to believe that any other airbender could live up to the standard that Aang set.
