![]() When Combustion Man resorted to blowing up pylons supporting the temple, Sokka took aim and used his boomerang to strike Combustion Man square on the forehead where his tattoo was, briefly stunning him and blocking his chi. Meanwhile, Zuko's antics proved to be a useful distraction for the group, who used the time to take cover. Combustion Man ignored these, however, appearing to attack for reasons other than money. Having shoved the prince aside and launched another attack against the group, he was threatened by Zuko that he would not receive any payment, an offer that quickly changed to the promise of double payment when he grabbed hold of the young firebender's shirt to hold him off. Last attempt and death Ĭombustion Man caused his own death by unintentionally unleashing a massive point-blank explosion.Ĭombustion Man managed to locate the group during their stay at the Western Air Temple, though Zuko interfered with his surprise attack and ordered him to stop going after the Avatar. After Sokka stopped the train, Aang used water from a nearby lake to waterbend Combustion Man into the water below. After a short hand-to-hand confrontation, Aang convinced Combustion Man to face him atop the train, giving Sokka time to fix the engine. The explosions caused the train to go faster and knocked out the engineer. During the train ride, the assassin attacked the Avatar, preventing his escape by threatening the lives of the other passengers. Third attempt Īfter he had traced them at a train station, Combustion Man next targeted Aang while he and Sokka were accompanying a little girl named Sho on a train to her grandmother's house. It was during this attack that Sokka stated that "Sparky Sparky Boom Man" was an unfitting name for the assassin and dubbed him "Combustion Man" instead. The air around him detonated, sending him flying against a nearby wall, enabling the group to escape, much to his anger. He got up and attempted to shoot another explosion in the group's direction, only to find his ability hampered. As the rock exploded, a single pebble flew off of the rock and struck him directly on his third eye tattoo, blocking his chi. Toph launched a boulder at him to cover the group's escape, prompting him to destroy it. Katara momentarily hampered his assassination attempt by freezing his head in a block of ice, allowing the group to escape. After Katara inventively used her sweat to waterbend and escape, the two girls arrived just in time to help Aang and Sokka, who had only narrowly avoided the ambush because Aang heard the assassin inhaling. ![]() ![]() He locked them in a wooden cell, depriving them both of earth and water to bend, and used them as nothing more than bait to lure in Aang, which proved successful. In his second attempt, the Combustion Man operated more subtly by setting up a trap in Fire Fountain City via a wanted poster to capture Katara and Toph. Second attempt Ĭombustion Man nearly killed Aang in Fire Fountain City. Following a running battle, Combustion Man's attacks were countered by Aang's airbending and earthbending, and he eventually had to halt his pursuit as the Avatar escaped on Appa with the rest of the group. He followed Aang as the Avatar led him away from his friends. Eschewing stealth, Combustion Man attacked, his powerful bolts countered both Katara's waterbending and Toph's earthbending, forcing them to take cover. That night, he stealthily approached Aang and his friends' campsite, but his metallic footsteps were detected by Toph. When Aang was spotted by two Fire Nation soldiers, the assassin's raven eagle intercepted the soldiers' messenger hawk, enabling Combustion Man to read and subsequently destroy the message. Ĭombustion Man attacked Aang in an attempt to prevent his escape.Ĭombustion Man eliminated or intercepted any evidence that could compromise his mission. This news drove the firebending assassin to utilize any means possible in eliminating such a potential threat. Assassination attempts on Aang First attempt Ĭombustion Man was hired by Zuko to kill Aang, since the Prince believed there was a chance that the Avatar might have survived Azula's attack at Ba Sing Se, an outcome which would jeopardize the new-found respect his father, Fire Lord Ozai, had for him. Silent, willing to do any dirty job with no questions asked, and driven to complete his assignments, he was a formidable opponent with a reputation for being "good at what and even better at keeping secrets". He went on to acquire a status of infamy in a series of quick successful Agni Kai matches. This Fire Nation assassin discovered his ability when he was a young child, but was initially unable to control it and accidentally blew his right arm and leg off, which he replaced with his trademark metal prosthetic limbs.
