I need to check out those comics.

Interesting how all three have advanced forms of bending- Azula has her lightning, the strongest offensive move of the three, Katara can beat *anyone* on a full moon, and Toph's metal bending is the more flexible, letting her use some really nice bending material. Of course if one counts tremorsense, then that's two advanced bending abilities. And Toph *invented* both of hers.... so yep, Toph's the most badass 🙂

Azula is just a paranoid psychopath. The only reason I'd consider her to be badass is because of her Blue Flames.
Katara could be badass, but she's nowhere near the level of Toph, who in addition to being one of the best benders in the series, is blind and can bend something no-one else can; very well at that.

This has been done in the comics btw, and it was a tie, but personally I think Toph has the edge via tremorsense.
Damn, really? Were either of them serious?
Bumi was able to bend while he wasn't even in contact with the earth, and he was casually chucking houses. Not to mention, he lifted a huge metal statue from like a mile away.
& He eats rocks 😐

Azula also has Blue Fire.

As serious as you can get without actually trying to kill or majorly wound the other. They wanted to see which was the better Earthbender and neither could beat the other before the Gaang broke them up.
Toph held up that entire library remember, and that thing was huge.
Also, Azula took over an entire country basically by herself, basically through sheer awesomeness. Thats more badass than either of the other two.
*edit* I think I found it! This?

I'd say she's pretty close- that Azula fight was awesome.
Azula also has Blue Fire.
True, but that's really pretty minor. It seems to make the impact of the flames a bit more, but it doesn't make the attacks particularly harder to defend against by the looks of it.
I think it's more a sign of her emotional state than anything else.

EDIT: Doesn't the first scan say Round 1?
Perhaps, but IMO, Toph also has the more badass personality between herself and Katara.
I thought her Blue Fire was hotter than the normal Red Fire as well? It's more powerful (concussive) as well.
Typically, it's Zuko who has no trouble blocking her fire in Book 3. I think others have found it harder to block her flames.

Ahh, yeah, forgot she did that. It did take everything she had though; sure the sand was a factor...
(Oh yeah, she can sand-bend as well, but I don't think there is any sand in the palace of Ba Sing Se)
And Azula became deranged a month or two later. Totally badass amirite 313

It has more concussive force, but that doesn't make it noticeably harder to counter-bend against from what I've seen, it just makes it do more damage to what it hits.
Katara pretty much always did well against Azula- in the "Crossroads of Destiny," she did better against her than she did against Zuko.

Not unless someone defends against it with a wall or something like Aang usually does, instead of dissipating it like Zuko does.
She does manage to evaporate Katara's water though, I don't think Zuko did that.
I always thought Azula wasn't fighting to defeat Katara in that ep, rather, she was waiting for Zuko to join her.
Fair enough though.

There was a part where they we facing in bending and Katara really got the best of her, trapping two limbs in water and was about to slam her into the ground, and only a last minute save from Zuko prevented serious damage.
It might be Azula's just not as good against water style as she is against fire/ Katara's better against Azula's style than Zuko's.
Are we forgetting how dominant Azula is in combat? The only time she has ever been bested is when she had that psychological meltdown.
Toph > Azula > Katara
But the Toph vs Azula thing is debatable. I honestly believe that Azula would win a fight against Toph because she is entirely more clever and ruthless.
Also, i don't care what happened in comics... that are made for children. If Bumi and Toph fought in all seriousness, with their lives on the line, Bumi wins!
