    Storm is one with the elements? So is Aang. That's why I made this thread. Lol.

    Manipulating the blood in someone is not the same as telekinesis. You need to revisit how the mechanics of both work. A blood ? can't change what you see or think, just your physical movements.

    And remember that while Storm has to be given time to summon all the thungder, ice, etc, adult Aang can go into the Avatar state in an instant. So saying that he struggled against Yakone really means nothing considering how easily he countered Yakone's bending. Generally, Aang is probably way faster than Storm as air is his base element.

    @bolded: bruh. Tk can't control what you see or think either. That's telepathy. Telekinesis controls just....physical movements. It's exactly the same as bloodbending.

    @underlined: Again, wrong. Storm's powers activate faster than thought. So before Aang has thought to go Avatar State, he's struck by lightning, suffocated, and trapped in a tornado with no escape with an ice shell for good measure. And he can't do anything to counter it.

    Difference between Storm and Aang, Aang bends elements, Storm talks to them, they empower her, and she can control OTHER PEOPLE even when they turn into elements.

    And Aang was literally knocked unconscious by Yakone until he went Avatar State (something he doesn't do often). So he was beaten by Yakone, meaning he can't blood bend.

    See this is the type of post that always sends these topic awry. The whole Storm's powers activate faster than thought argument is BS. I'm not saying it's never been stated. I'm not saying she's never shown the capability. It's BS because you're using that as some kind of absolute like that's definitely the way it would work in this confrontation, and that's not the case. If it was, Storm would be practically unbeatable and untouchable by anyone her level or lower. That's not the case though is it. She's been hit and knocked out by people weaker than Aang.

    And again, people are simply not acknowledging how combat goes down in Avatar. People routinely fling fire, lightning, water, ice, wind, earth, and other stuff too at each other, and characters like the Avatar show time and time again they have the reflexes to defend, redirect, and counterattack. There is nothing that Storm can throw at Aang that he can't handle. She hits him with lightning. He's been there done that. She hits him with ice. He's been there done that. She hits him with wind. That's his specialty. Oh well she creates a tornado. So what? He can wrap himself up in a cocoon or air. That will defend him against the part of the tornado that is danger to him. The rest of the tornado is just wasted effort.

I had to do further research. She is an expert combatant and good with magic.

    So???

    Lol here's how it happens. Aang starts bending the earth at Storm, storm begins to levitate to avoid earth attacks, Aang shoots fire, storm counters it with air or water while summoning some type of lightening or snow storm, Aang goes into the Avatar state and encases himself in a ball of the four elements and throws it all at her at once to distract her and while she's busy breaking the rocks with lightening, he redirects it and zaps her out of the sky and blood bends her into submission and uses energy bending to lock her chakras making it impossible to move, then he kills her with fire.

    Aang wins.

    what Storm is one with the planet and environment you don't understand, soon as the earth even starts to act funny, storm will know, give it up....Storm got this, man Storm can sense dying trees, and feel and know all planetary and weather events no matter where the location

    agreed. As good as Storm is, I just don't see what she's going to bring to the table against Aang that's going to defeat him. He can literally counter all of her attacks and this is before entering the AS.

    Aang
    Ya'll exaggerating this "one with the earth" ? . She does have a connection with the earth, but it ain't like she can't be overpowered when it comes to control of the elements. Thor did it. Sure he's a ? , but Aang is comparable to that for his world. If we say the light spirit is a ? , Aang is basically empowered by that ? and has access to the experience and abilities of all other Avatars before him. His control over the elements is every bit as absolute as Storm's.

    Cool--but can Aang control his own body temperature from overheating or catching hypothermia?

    Actually, he can. He won't be like Thor or Superman with it, but yeah, he's shown that he can stay warm in cold temperatures when he traveled to both poles in the show. Hell, when he was released from the ICEBERG he was just fine, even going around trying to ski on penguins

    Bloodbending isn't exactly like TK. It's literally bending the blood in your body. That's a bit different than how you're portraying it and besides, Storm wouldn't be able to counter having her blood bent by Yakone

    Storm and Aang's powers activate "faster than thought". Neither of them are screaming to the heavens in order to fire a blast. Going into the AS requires no effort whatsoever. They can literally enter in and out of the state at will. Ok, Storm fires lightning at Aang..not only does he have the agility and speed to dodge it, he also can redirect lightning.. Suffocated and trapped in a tornado? Have you ever seen the Avatar? I don't think an Airbending master would have to worry about being trapped or suffocated in a tornado, let alone the avatar. Aang would be able to bend said tornado to his willl, or create tornadoes of his own. You do realize Aang has mastery over all the elements right? An ice shell wouldn't be able to contain Katara. Again I have to ask if you've ever seen the show because Aang can counter everything you've listed.
    Difference between Storm and Aang, Aang bends elements, Storm talks to them, they empower her, and she can control OTHER PEOPLE even when they turn into elements.
    um, ok
    And Aang was literally knocked unconscious by Yakone until he went Avatar State (something he doesn't do often). So he was beaten by Yakone, meaning he can't blood bend.

    What's something he doesn't do often? Go into the AS? That's odd, they had 3 Books of him doing just that, whenever he was threatened. Yeah he was knocked unconscious by Yakone when he was taken by surprise..how did that work out for Yakone in the end though? I hope you're not implying Storm has never been knocked out or beaten before? You don't have to be a bloodbender to defeat Yakone nor Storm. But since you've seen the show you should know that considering Aang, not only beat Yakone, he took his powers away.

    Storm : One with the planet

    Aang: one with the universe. When the moon spirit was killed, he felt it. As a ? of all four elements as well as Avatar, he is in tune all of nature AND the underlying spiritual forces of reality.

    It doesn't get anymore "one with nature" than this.

    There's no exaggeration at all, her feats is all out there, any planetary action from the planet, storm knows it and sense it, if a volcano about to erupt she knows it and where it takes place, she sense dying trees for Christ sake and get sad and ? , because she's one with the planet.

    Yes, she has some very high end feats, but here's the thing. You can't just use her high end feats and act like that's how she operates all the time. Comic fans do ? like that all the time. Again. Storm has called her powers up lightning fast. She's also gotten tagged by people who aren't nearly that fast. So this assumption that the high end feat will be what automatically occurs against Aang is a faulty one.

    Let me stop you there.

    Here's how it happens.

    Aang starts bending-BOOM! too late Storm struck him with lightning, he's paralyzed. She puts him in a tornado and freezes him for good measure.

    That's it.

    Her powers are stronger and faster. He stands no chance.

    Cam he can see lightening coming and can redirect it. And he can unfreeze himself just as easily.

    I think y'all are missing the point in f this comparison. Both Aang and Storm can control elements masterfully. It comes down to who has the wider array of abilities and who has the means to overcome the other's attacks.

    Aang can't redirect lightning if he's already making the motions to earth bend. Lightning hits in less than .0001 seconds. Especially Storm's lightning which is faster than thought.

    Storm has a much wider array of abilities and much more power than Aang. He can't hurt her. She can destroy him.

    Yes and no. She can create and use lightning at the speed of thought, it's unknown if she needs clouds, but she can make them just as fast too.

    Are there books w/ Aang as an adult? If not then we must assume that Aang, after 10-20 years of having been fully Avatar, must be light-years beyond what we saw of him as a child Avatar. I think he wins this battle.

    Unfair assumption imo

    How so? Isn't adult Storm light-years beyond child Storm?

    We see what adult master benders can do with their respective elements.

    It's a given that a fully realized Avatar is capable of everything regular benders are plus more. Look at how Roku handled Sozin like a chump and the firelord is the powerful fire ? .

    Then what's the point in the thread? With it being Adult Aang vs Storm there has to be assumptions made. Either an assumption that Aang's power level/skill never increased or the assumption that they increased over time like damn near every other "super hero".
