Appa smashes through two thick stone walls and sends the Dai Lee agents flying.

Reference to the size of these walls.
(From Book Two: Episode 17)
 
Katara uses her water bending to create a huge wall of water to push a Fire Nation ship away.

The Duke picks up a boulder for Toph to use as a projectile.

Katara turns sea water into mist to conceal their ship (and makes a whirlpool in the process).

The Water Serpent is hit by a strike from the Fire Nation ship, to which it attacks & ensnares it.


(From Book Three: Episode 1)
 
The rumoured Earthbender Avatar series has been officially confirmed! The series will follow twins, at least one of which is an Avatar, in a post-apocalyptic world devastated by the opening of the spirit portals by the previous avatar, where they are seen as they destroyer of humanity and chased by enemies both human and spirit as they seek to save the Seven Havens (the Four Nations no longer exist after the calamity).
 
Avatar Legends: Realms Colide is a mobile strategy game, which will be set in a time of peace and harmony, but will have a new threat emerge; Chanyu and the Shattered Skulls, who form the Temple of Corruption to worship a dark spirit known as Father Glowworm.
 
The Fire Nation colonies in the Earth Kingdom are said to be hundreds of miles away from the Fire Nation homeland.
(From Book Three: Episode 4)
 
During a volley ball game, Azula hits a volley ball with considerable force.

Azula jumps/is launched high into the air from Zuko's back and kicks a volley ball with such force that it creates a small firey explosion and causes vapor to appear around it (Azula doesn't seem to have used any firebending techniques for this, so this is a feat of pure strength, and one of the most impressive in the series).


Zuko pushes someone with enough force that they fly across the room and into a large vase with enough force to shatter it.

(From Book Three: Episode 5)
 
Combustion Man (otherwise known as Sparky Sparky Boom Man) creates attacks with his mind that cause devastating explosions (said attacks also create sonic booms, which if you listen are also audiably sonic boom sounds).

Said sonic booms in motion.

Toph bends many rocks towards Combustion Man, but Combustion Man blows them all away, to which Aang blocks the explosion with his airbending.

Katara creates a huge waterbending wave, but Combustion Man destroys it too (seeming to evaporate it instantly).

Combustion Man creates a big explosion that Aang narrowly dodges.

Combustion Man destroys two large stone pillars.

Aang bends a large stone pillar towards Combustion Man, who destroys it before unleashing another of his attacks at Aang; Aang reacts to Combustion Mans attack and uses airbending to redirect the explosion.



Aang is launched through the air by the explosion, and then earthbends a large stone pillar apart so as to avoid crashing into it,

Aang uses his earthbending to create armour out of rock (a technique he learned from Toph) and escapes Combustion Man by jumping high into the air, while Combustion Man fires another attack after him which creates another large explosion (although looking frame-by-frame, it's possible that Aang uses Combustion Man's attack to ride himself into the air).

(From Book Three: Episode 5)

Combustion Man discovered his abilities as a young child, but didn't have any control over it, so he accidently blew off his arm and leg, which is why he now has a metal arm and leg.
(Originally from the Avatar Encyclopedia from the old Nickelodean website)

According to Bryan Konietzko during the commentary of The Beach, Combustion Man is a Firebendedr with an overdeveloped third eye, through which chi is explosively released, and if he can see something, he can blow it up in a second; Bryan's idea was that Combustion Man got his reputation through a lot of successful Agni Kai matches.
(From the commentary of Book Three: Episode 5)
 
Avatar Roku uses his airbending to push away the erupting fumes of a volcanic eruption which covers a large portion of the volcano.

Firelord Sozin sees and even feels the eruption even from (at least) a hundred miles away.

Sozin: Roku's island was a hundred miles away. But I could still feel it rumbling and see the black plume of smoke. I had never seen anything like this catastrophe.
Roku makes an impressive jump through the air and then bends a huge wall to divert the lavas flow.

When this fails, Roku creates two ravines in the volcano reaching across the entire island to redirect the lava into the sea.


Roku jumps high into the air, and then uses airbending to rapidly cool a patch of molten lava into stone.


Roku taps into the Avatar State and pushes back a huge amount of lava and breaks the other side of the volcano.


Firelord Sozin arrives on dragonback to help Roku (until he changes his mind), flying a hundred miles or more at incredibly fast speeds to reach there.


Roku's village was big enough to contain hundreds of houses.
Aang: There it is. That's Roku's home.
Katara: But, there's nothing here.
Toph: Yes, there is. An entire village, hundreds of houses...all completely buried in ash.
(From Book Three: Episode 6)
 
Combustion Man breaks stone with his cyborg leg & hand.

Combustion Man shatters the ice block covering his head with his cyborg arm.

After getting hit in his forehead chakra by a rock sent by Toph, Combustion Man's explosion backfires, sending him back into a wall with enough force to break it.

(From Book Three: Episode 7)
 
During the full Moon, a powerful waterbender is able to control the very blood in a living creatures veins (including people). This is called bloodbending.
Bloodbending can only be done during a full Moon.
Katara is seemingly able to escape from Hama's bloodbending (perhaps with the power of the full Moon).



Katara: You're not the only one who draws power from the moon! My bending is more powerful than yours, Hama. Your technique is useless on me!
Hama drains multiple trees of all their liquids to fight Katara (destroying said trees) to create a waterbending attack at Katara (who blocks said attack).

Hama controls both Aang and Sokka at the same time. Katara bends the water from a tree to attack Hama.

In order to save her friends, Katara has no choice but to bloodbend Hama herself.


(From Book Three: Episode 8)

Bloodbending requires a huge amount of power, and can only be performed by a waterbending master.
(Originally from the Avatar Encyclopedia from the old Nickelodean website)
 
Hama bends the very moisture in the air itself, then freezes said water into ice claws.
Hama: That's very resourceful, Katara. You're thinking like a true master. But did you know you could even pull water out of thin air? You have got to keep an open mind, Katara. There's water in places you never think about.

Hama bends all of the water from a field of flowers and uses said water to slice a boulder apart (this kills the flowers in the process).


Hama was among the Waterbenders who froze the Fire Nation warship seen in the first episode.

Hama was the last waterbender of the Southern Water tribe to be captured by the Fire Nation (prior to Katara being born); we also see many Fire Nation soldiers surrounding her (I counted over 180).
(From Book Three: Episode 8)

Hama was the first (known) bloodbender.
(Originally from the Avatar Encyclopedia from the old Nickelodean website)
 
In the Avatar state, Aang draws his power from the cosmic energy of the Universe.
(From Book Three: Episode 10)
 
It was Sokka's original idea to create the submarines which worked via waterbending, although the Mechanist created them.
A Fire Nation harpoon snags one of the resistance submarines and proceeds to drag it out of the water, but is stopped by Katara slicing through the metal chains with her waterbending in one attack (the Foggy Swamp benders also use ice to seal breaches in the hull).



Ice torpedoes are launched with waterbending, and unleash big explosions that allow the submarines to invade the Fire Nation capitol.

The caterpillar tanks (which are powered by earthbending) are used to crush battlements and Fire Nation tanks.

Huu with his vinebending destroys several Fire Nation tanks, blocking fire attacks as he does.

Huu then smacks a Fire Nation tank with his vines/seaweed with enough force to sending it flying through the air (for what looks like hundreds of meters) into a battlement, destroying both.

Sokka cuts through a thick wooden bar holding a door shut.

Sokku cuts through a large metal crossbow.

(From Book Three: Episode 11)
 
Azula is able to lie so perfectly that not even Toph can sense any change to her heart rate.
Aang deflects earthbending attacks from the Dai-Le with his glider staff.

Zuko reacts to Fire Lord Ozai's lightning and redirects it back at him, creating an explosion which shatters stone and sends Ozai flying backwards.


A still of the stone fragments from the explosion (which Ozai survived in his face).
(From Book Three: Episode 12)
