In the midst of all these FT/Naruto revisions, I decided to go and try to gather information on the series, and Aiden in particular has inspired me to prove a few things.
AP Upgrades:
There are two feats that I found to be interesting. First is pissed Katara stopping rain (the Southern Raiders) and Sozin calming a volcano (The Avatar and the Firelord). The latter was already calced by KK to be City Block level, and I forget if it was with a plus or not. Sozin was already old at the time, and needed the comet to do some serious damage. This feat should scale to the top tiers of the verse, like the firelords, avatars, Old Masters, and peak Toph. Other feat still needs to be calced, but it should likely scale to all benders in general. Katara, while strong, isn't incredibly special. Final one would be Ghazan's suicide attack. That again would only scale to top tiers.
Speed Upgrades:
This is the part inspired by Aiden. If he can prove FT lightning is real lightning, then I can prove that AtLA lightning is real lightning. For one, lets go with the nature argument that Aiden stated, which is definitely true in the case of Avatar. These are the actual elements, and behave that way. Water Benders can control all phases of water, whatever the water is in (bloodbending). Earthbenders can do the same, with sand, mud, magma, and metal. Airbenders can even bend the air inside someone. Hotter fire manifests as blue (at least according to an extra I remember from long ago), which explains Azula. Its reasonable to think that firebenders can do the phase of fire that is lightning. And while lightning isn't really related to fire in the sense. Followup reason is that it behaves like natural lightning. Both kinds of lighting can be redirected, and for some reason, all lightning is blue in this verse iirc. It is conducted through water. And contrary to most fictions, it appears that lighting actually ignores durability like it should. Despite Zuko redirecting Azula's lighting, it still effed him up. Aang getting shot messed with his internal avatar system and stopped his heart while only leaving him with a small burn. Mako didn't even touch Ming Hua with the lightning, but because of conductivity, she was still down for the count. Zuko's explanation to Aang seemed to imply instant death if redirection fails too. It seems that every time lightning is used (except by the gloves in Korra, which I'm not trying to debate), it's a oneshot. Only exception would be Zuko redirecting against Ozai, but that can be explained. Zuko stated in that battle that he wasn't going to kill Ozai, despite clearly in the position to do so. Zuko likely didn't hit Ozai with redirection, which resulted in an explosion. So that brings us on to a calc of Zuko's sacrifice to protect Katara. Also Katara dodging /running from all of Azula's attacks, but less important. The former wouldn't be aim dodging. Zuko realized with frightening certainty that Azula was targeting Katara a bit too late.
Durability upgrades
From the first two feats, we'd get durability, as those who scale used non-lethal attacks and people survived them. The durability section in general is a little wonky. I don't see how the avatar state and shields don't boost proportionally. Every time it was defeated, there was a reason to it. Azula ignored durability and messed with Aangs insides (albeit unintentionally). Korra was poisoned when fighting Zaheer.
