"In a manner of speaking," Barnaby replied in a neutral tone. "We don't call them 'benders', though. Someone who can control the elements would be considered a Noted Entity of Extraordinary Talent, which is usually abbreviated to simply 'NEXT'."

Most often, elemental-type NEXT could only control one particular kind of element. But it certainly wouldn't be impossible for someone to have the ability Korra claimed to have. Combined with a proficiency in martial arts, Barnaby imagined her powers would make her a very formidable opponent indeed.

Hopefully they wouldn't cross paths while she was "brainwashed".

"NEXTs aren't limited to element-type abilities, either," he added. "I'm a power-type NEXT, for example."
