He's a psionic ghost that animates rock matter and if he tags them, he'll destroy them. their durabilties are human. If Toph and Aang can bend him, he'd be pretty useless though. but i'm somewhat skeptical, at the very least, it wont be easy.
-hellion is nothing aang couldnt do; and better. hurling big things and flying really fast? hes the avatar.
actually, hellion can use TK against flesh directly to KO them and only katara can bend blood and even then only if the situation is right. Aang cant really fly in his normal state, he only glides with the staff or hovers on a ball of air. these are much less versatile and maneuverable.
-it would be incredibly simple for aang or zuko to overload noriko
Neither one bends lightning offensivelly if that's what you meant. Zuko can certainly redirect it deffensively though, but it requires a proper stance that might be broken by the chaos of battle.
-there is any number of ranged ability they could use against prodigy. not to mention aang and toph have precog and can take him out with a simple and completely unexpected move
What? their earth sense isnt precog or anything close to it and 2 in the x-men team can fly.
Anyway, he's there for tactical support evidently, just like sokka.
-someone that can effortlessly send them to another dimension is a really poor choice for this matchup[quote]spirit world? useless in battle as it requires meditational trance and when did Aang ever dump anyone there? Pixie can actually teleport and potentially cross dimenional walls into limbo.[quote]
-dust; a sandbender huh. you know what dust is really susceptible to? wind.
Actually, she's animated sand, but yes, she could be blown away by strong winds if Aang actually brings them about and against her. She's not automaticaly out of combat here.
-either toph or aang could sense anole no matter where he is
-depending on the area of effect of pixie's dust id say she was a poor matchup
pixie flies and teleports.
-mercury's body is inorganic which says to me it is definitely metal
and able to be bent. barring that; there are plenty of bfr options.
Again, I doubt rocklisde, dust and mercury can bent.
all in all they are most certainly able to take this group and even win handily if you take out the poor matchups
You only listed ways the benders can take out the young x-men but the thing is that noriko can take anyone in the benders team but zuko (if he's lucky and standing correctly) and avatar state aang.
Hellion can take anyone but avatar state aang. All the others are far tougher in direct combat and can oneshot the benders if they connect, most of them can easily tank or sidestep the attacks of at least 2 or 3 of the benders. if this goes to close combat, by pixie teleporting them for instance, their chances would increase dramaticaly.
Admitedly, if Aang goes into avatar state, he can clear the field, but with CIS on, I'm not seeing it.
This is not one-sided
