Avatar: The Last Airbender

Avatar Aang

Aang was just a fun-loving 12 year old when he discovered he was the Avatar, destined to master the four elements and bring balance to the world. At first fleeing his responsibilities, Aang became frozen for 100 years while war consumed the world. Awaking to discover he was the last airbender, Aang gathered friends who helped him master the four elements and restore balance to the world. Aang controls the four elements, can enhance his power with the Avatar State, and has a mix of other spiritual and learned abilities.
