1. Yes. When we last saw Ty Lee she was a Kyoshi Warrior, who were also amongst the best non-bender fighters (Team Boomerang!). But, now that we know Amon supposedly grew up on a farm, they’re blood relation looks less likely. However, Ty Lee was our biggest in to the concept of chi-blocking and that art has obviously been revived by Amon. If we get flashbacks, I wouldn’t mind Ty Lee popping up, but it seems unlikely she turned evil. She was so cheery even through Azula’s lunacy. It would break my heart to learn that Amon gained access to Ty Lee by being Sokka and Suki’s child, because it means they were killed by a Fire Bender and didn’t live happily ever after on a farm somewhere. But, it would keep the non-bender unity through time. We don’t know if Korra is that interested in telling us what happened to the old characters yet, so the most likely possibility is that Amon is his own man…man?…faceless thing that talks like a man.

2) Oh yes. And Black Dynamite. You’re right, LeSean Thomas is the man. And his website is pretty cool too.
