LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Avatar, the bender of all four elements returns to restore peace in Netflix's live action-adventure series 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'.

The series is inspired by Nickelodeon's animated series of the same name. It aired on the channel for three years, between 2005 and 2008.

Further, the original animated series was also adapted into a live-action film titled 'The Last Airbender' in 2010. Before diving into the Netflix series, here's everything you need to know about the titular character.

Each nation consists of certain people who can telekinetically manipulate/bend one of the four elements: Water, Earth, Fire, or Air. However, the titular character is the only individual who can bend all four elements.
