The Most Powerful Legend of Korra Characters list many fan-favorite characters on the show, both good and bad.
There’s no denying that Legend of Korra was an action-packed sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender. However, many people still debate which characters are the most powerful.
Legend of Korra is the sequel to the popular animated Nickelodean series Avatar: The Last Airbender. It is set seventy years into the future after Avatar Aang defeated the Fire Lord and brought peace to the four nations, ending the 100-year war. In that time, he and Fire Lord Zuko established Republic City, a modern city where benders and non-benders could live in peace and harmony.
A few weeks ago, we released The Most Powerful Avatar The Last Airbender Characters and this list is sort of follow-up to that in the sense that it’s within the same universe. The characters on the top ten deserve their slot, but the most consensus I’ve gotten were the top 3 slots. The other lists I was able to research listed other characters in their top 10 slots.
We have our Avatar: The Last Airbender Inspired Workouts in a mini-database within our larger Anime Workouts Database like we’ve now been able to do for a handful of the most popular shows. If you want to go even further and have a completely personalized Avatar-themed workout, you can also check out our Avatar Workout Quiz to see which character workout best suits you.
If you like listicles like this one, here are a few more I think you might like:

- Most Powerful Netflix Castlevania Characters
- Most Powerful Hashira from Demon Slayer
Of course we’ve also done a handful of “Most Powerful” and “Most Popular” for other anime so if you’d like to check those out you can visit our other listicles here.
For this one I scoured the internet for help and almost every single listicle has a different take on who The Most Powerful Legend of Korra Characters are so what I decided to do was compile ALL of them together and place each character in the slot they averaged most.
As always, leave your comments below if you were expecting other characters!
THE TOP 10 MOST POWERFUL LEGEND OF KORRA CHARACTERS
Number Ten: Kaya
Race: Water bender
Hero or Villain: Hero
Starting off our list of The Most Powerful Legend of Korra Characters is the daughter of Aang and Katara, Kaya, the waterbending master!
Kaya is the only water-bending child of Aang and Katara and followed in her mother’s footsteps to become a healer. Like her mother, she has mastered the sub-elements of ice and healing. We get to see her when Bumi and Kaya visit the Air Temple outside Republic City after the defeat of Amon and Tarrlok.
Do you agree with Kaya’s placement in the top ten or would you push her down to the honorable mentions and bring someone else up into her slot?

Number Nine: Lin Beifong
Race: Earth Kingdom
Hero or Villain: Hero
Coming in at number nine in our list of The Most Powerful Legend of Korra Characters is Republic City’s chief of security, Lin Beifong.
Lin is the eldest daughter of Toph Beifong and like her mother, is a metal-bender and earth bender. She along with Tenzin and Korra fight against the Equalists to keep Republic City safe. She has shown her fighting skills are second-to-none (with the exception of her mom and Kuvira) and is a strong ally of Korra and her group of friends.

Number Eight: Kuvira
Race: Earth Kingdom
Hero or Villain: Villain
At number eight in our list of Most Powerful Legend of Korra Characters is the fifth major villain that Korra has come up against – Earth Kingdom Commander Kuvira.
Kuvira is a renowned Earth Kingdom soldier who took it upon herself to form an army to unite the Earth Kingdom after the assassination of the Earth Queen. She was able to gain the trust of several leaders and formed a fighting force to bring stability to the nation under her rule.

Number Seven: Bolin
Race: Earth Kingdom
Hero or Villain: Hero
Next up among our most powerful Legend of Korra Characters is 1/2 of the Pro-Bending Team the Fire Ferrets – Bolin!
Bolin is the younger brother of Mako (Korra’s initial love interest) and is an Earth Bender. If we’re to compare similarities to the original show, he would be the show’s version of Sokka (as the comedic relief) – except he is a bender (unlike Sokka). Fiercely loyal to his friends, Bolin joins Korra’s fight against the Equalists and is even recruited into the Earth Kingdom Army later on in the series. In season three, he learns that aside from bending earth, he can also bend lava, which he uses to his advantage against a member of the Red Lotus.

Number Six: Tarrlok
Race: Water Tribe
Hero or Villain: Villain
Tarrlok is a Water Tribe Councilman in Republic City. He is an extremely persuasive politician, and is against the Anti-Bending group called The Equalists.
In the beginning of the show, it is seen that he is willing to use violence to achieve his means and stop the Equalists. However, as the show progresses, we see that he has a dark ulterior motive and that he is one of the sons of the blood-bending criminal, Yakone – and the older brother of Amon, the Equalists’ leader.

Number Five: Amon
Race: Water Tribe
Hero or Villain: Villain
In our top 5 slot of The Most Powerful Legend of Korra Characters is Amon, the head of the Equalist movement.
While the Equalists were actually a group of non-benders, Amon was actually hiding the fact that he himself was a Water bender. In the battle against Avatar Korra, Amon is catapulted into the sea, and on instinct bends the water and is revealed to be a bender to the citizens of Republic City.
Amon at SHJ:
Number Four: Zaheer
Race: Air Nomad
Hero or Villain: Villain
Zaheer is the leader of the Red Lotus, a group of benders who believe that the world would be better of in a non-organized society, or anarchy. During Aang’s time, they were each captured and imprisoned in separate high-security cells – each catering to the weakness of the bender. After Korra defeated Unalaq during Harmonic Convergence, Zaheer gained the ability to bend air and using his newfound abilities, escaped his prison and rescued his comrades.

Number Three: Tenzin
Race: Air Nomads
Hero or Villain: Hero
Master Tenzin is the youngest son of Avatar Aang and Katara and the only remaining Air Bending Master.
While his older brother and sister are both traveling the globe, Tenzin decided to lay roots in Republic City and serve as its spiritual adviser on the Republic City Council. He is tasked with the training of Avatar Korra, the new Avatar, who has mastered all other elements but isn’t able to air bend due to her spiritual disconnection. In season 3, we get to see his air-bending prowess in his fight against Zaheer, the leader of the Red Lotus.

Number Two: Unalaq
Race: Water Tribe
Hero or Villain: Villain
Placing at number two on our list of Most Powerful Legend of Korra Characters is Korra’s uncle and the leader of the Northern and Southern Water Tribes, Unalaq.
Unalaq is a water-bending master, much like Kaya and Katara. However, he has a dark purpose of entering the Spirit Realm and freeing its spirit of darkness, Vaatu. Even without merging with Vaatu, Unalaq proves powerful against the combined strength of Korra and her friends. It is only after fusing with the Avatar’s spirit of light that Korra is able to defeat and separate Unalaq and Vaatu and restore harmony to the world.

Number One: Korra
Race: Water Tribe
Hero or Villain: Hero
At number one in our list of Most Powerful Legend of Korra Characters is Avatar Korra herself.
The successor of Aang, Korra discovered her Avatar powers at a young age, and was trained since her childhood to master the different elements with the aid of the Order of the White Lotus. While she has mastered the physical elements of Fire, Water, and Earth, she has yet to master Air and trains with Master Tenzin to unlock her ability to air bend. At the end of the first season, she connects with her spiritual self after letting go of all her pain, and is able to finally gain access to air-bending.
