However, Aang preferred to use diplomacy and non-lethal methods to defeat his foes and Korra, while much more boisterous than Aang, lives in an age where the public and ruling powers no longer tolerate such behavior and her attempts to be forceful often causes more problems than it fixes. Likewise, Roku destroyed Sozin's palace in a show of force and threatened to kill him if he continued his expansionist goals. Kyoshi made frequent use of this trope, with her on having threatened at least two world leaders and suffering no consequences for it. The Avatar is the most powerful, dangerous and venerated person on the planet, meaning that they can pretty much force their will onto any kind of diplomatic or military issue with no fear of reprisal.

Asskicking Equals Authority: This was the case with the Avatars prior to Aang and Korra.

Always Someone Better: While it's not clear if this is definitive of the other Avatars, its certainly true with Aang and Korra that they feel they cannot live up to the legacy left behind by their predecessor.

The Avatar must master the four elements and attain a certain degree of balance within themselves they are then referred to as a 'fully realized Avatar'.ДЇor tropes specifically relating to Korra, Aang, the Avatars who preceded them, or Wan himself, please visit the various pages in the Character pages for both Avatar: The Last Airbender or The Legend of Korra. The Avatar is also the spiritual leader of the world due to being half spirit, the Avatar is most powerful in the Spirit World, as opposed to other humans who normally are powerless in comparison.

This job includes bringing peace between groups in conflict, or defeating threats to world peace such as imperialist tyrants bent on conquest. The Avatar's mission in life, a task set forth by Wan himself, is to maintain balance of the world, as well as between the mortal and spirit realms. However, any given incarnation of the Avatar is not immortal, and if he or she is killed in the Avatar State, the Avatar Spirit will die and the cycle will end (though Raava herself will survive the death of the Avatar Spirit, and will eventually reform elsewhere). The Avatar is able to access the power of Raava and his or her previous incarnations in what is called the Avatar State, giving them unlimited power for as long as they are in said state. The Avatar is a reincarnation of Wan throughout the millennia, starting a cycle that began the moment Wan died. It first came to existence 10,000 years before the main story, as the result of a permanent fusion between Wan - the first man to not only possess the power of more than one element, but the first human bender as well - and Raava, the spirit of light and peace. The Avatar is the only being which can master the four elements and can energybend as well. The Avatar is the most powerful being in the Avatar universe.
