Surely we all knew he was a bender right off the bat, though? Because you have to be a bender to take away bending.

I totes thought Tarrlok was Amon, though (yes, I realize that discussion prolly happened a couple weeks ago, but I only just watched the series yesterday and today, so I'm a little behind :). I was really surprised when he wasn't.

Actually, one of the more popular theories I saw floating around about his ability to take away people's bending was that he was using chi-blocking techniques to block benders' chakras. A lot of his followers were chi-blockers, and there was no bending required in that case. Quite frankly, that still makes more sense to me than what turned out to be the reality. How can he take their bending away via bloodbending?

I don't think he's taking bending away through bloodbending. Just that you have to be a bender (of some flavor or other) to take bending away. Aang's not a bloodbender, but he could take bending away, after all. And he could bend perfectly well before he unblocked his chakras. So...yeah, I can go with this.

The thing I am kind of tripping over is that your spirit is supposed to have to be "unbendable" or else it can backfire on you. I suppose I can allow that he was entirely and genuinely committed to his mission, which is arguably unbendable in its way, but... Well, anyway, I am very surprised he was able to master that ability so completely.

Maybe it's more of a suppression technique but was advertised as 'taking away' for the general populance because Amon thought that sounded cooler/more badass, then?

Amon/Noatok wasn't a regular bloodbender. He was a /psychic/ bloodbender, just like sparkysparkyboom man was a psychic firebender. I think it had to do with his mind somehow cutting off the body's access to their element. As Katara said "Her connection to the elements was severed"
