Air so I can ride on one of those Air Ball deals that Ang makes. That just looks like to much fun, plus its alot cheaper then a car.
I like fire and all, but earth just kicks so much ass. Throwing giant boulders would be great. plus I could learn to bend steel as well, and if I'm not mistaken, almost every building is made of steel, so yeah those would just come falling down
Oh, have anyone mentioned the possibility of making a sandstorm with earth/air? That would be one of the most offensive things you could do with those elements (not the most, obviously, but on of the top 10). Sandstorms could rip the flesh from your bones depending on the strength of the wind (which means, the speed that the sand grains hit you). Both could do it and it would devastate targets! Also, I wonder how fast can you bury someone with Earth bending (bending a HUGE amount of Earth onto someone or opening the floor beneath them so they fall, and them you bend it back to normal, trapping the foe for good.
Also, air could suck the air from the foe's lungs (if they have one).
I guess the point is that any assassin could be awesome with these powers and wreck havoc and destruction upon the world with ease, but I'd like to see more comments on the constructive benefits that bending could do. Water and Air could generate electric energy. Earth could make entire buildings and houses in no time (a day, tops, I guess). Fire can melt and fuse things together (in the series it was the only nation with metal)

I've never really watched the show so I'm not exactly sure on what rules "bending" follows...
If I'm a water bender can I pull water from any source? Can I change its states at will? If so then it would be pretty simple to completely turn someone into a dry mummy in seconds or literally bring their blood to a boil, or cause giant ice crystals to materialize from all directions and impale them, or just freeze them where they stand. Or heck, why not all of the above? >
If I'm an earth bender can I cause fissures to form and control things like lava at will? Can I change the state of rock at will to lava? If so then you could make any earth surface into a lake of hot lava or cause hot jets of lava to fly at people, or large rock spikes to come up from the ground, or simply raise the entire area up into the sky and drop all of it except where you are (or keep sending them up into space if you wanted...) What about creating dust around the entire area and then when the person inhales it just cause their lungs to seize up and they die?
If I'm a fire bender can I create fire at will or can I just control it? If I can set things on fire remotely what's stopping me from causing someone to spontaneously combust? Or just cause a person's clothes to burn while they're wearing them, or if I can't cause things to burn remotely, simply go with a "flame thrower" style but a sphere that encloses a person and heats the air around them so much that they burn/can't breathe. Or create fire so bright that they are blinded? Or rain down thousand of tiny balls of plasma that would simply fly right through anything they encounter....
If I'm an air bender does that cover any gases present in the air? Can I just create a vacuum around a person and watch as they gasp for air Total Recall style? How about causing their lungs to burst, or compress the air around them and have their body implode? If I can compress air what's stopping me from compressing air to the point of it becoming plasma? Or a localized jet of air that could cut like a blade and tear them to pieces or simply enter their skin and obstruct blood flow? Never mind hurricanes and tornadoes and controlling the temperature of the air....
I'm not sure about the limitations so that would obviously affect my choice, but I'm leaning towards air or water since they seem more flexible in what is possible with them...
TLDR-->If imagination is the only restriction then I would go with air or water.

Well, from what is explained in the series the limitations aren't many. Thing is, there's ki/chi/telekineses involved. So basically, the only limitation is your own skill and training.
But as a point of reference, we've seen the Avatars and other extremely powerful benders control lakes worth of water, create raging pillars of fire, move an island and create violent storms.
On the other hand, we've seen a previous Avatar (a firebender originally no less) lose to an exploding vulcano. So nature can pretty much beat any bender.
fire because they seem to be the smart, practical ones and because i could pretend i was using an incinerate plasmid
Earth. It would be extremely useful for travel and has amazing destructive capabilities. Nothing will be able to survive when you contol the foundations upon which it stands.
1. Only the most powerful waterbenders can do that for a 12 hour period(at best) per monthDupeo said:
2. Yes it was. Book 2 Episode Chapter 13. Katara bends steam around a Fire Nation engineer and freezes him in ice.
Although I did like the underlying tone of "pollution is bad" that I got from the show.gostlyfantom said:
