Amon his Father an Little Brother were all Psy-Bloodbenders. He used his Bloodbend to block Bending powers.

How?
As mentioned above, if he was causing physical damage then his victims would need arcane healing to reverse it. What actually fixed them was energy bending.
reminds me of this:
most people who eat candy are kids. Kids are smaller than adults, so of course candy eaters are going to weigh less on average than non-candy eaters.
alive, but MIA as far as the Light is concerned (and good riddance) and Zoat has said that they've recruited Satanus as their new Magic specialist (although OL, the Team, and the Justice League are currently unaware of that)

Actually, if you pay attention, waterbender healing can do magic glowing shit even without bloodbending added to the mix. I wouldn't be surprised if a bloodbender had the capacity for "arcane" healing.

The thing with SI's and Light's desire to uplift humanity is that the latter's is tainted with lust for personal power and/or Social Darwinism.
I'm pretty sure Savage and Queen Bee want to set up a xenophobic and expansionist Terran Empire with themselves, respectively, in charge. Brain? Not sure, but I would imagine some sort of dystopian transhumanism with quite relaxed, to say the least, ethical barriers for science. Ra's is the already know extreme environmentalist Social Darwinism. Klarion? The less said, the better. Lex? Most likely a technically free libertarian laissez-faire society, but in reality a cyberpunk with him in charge of a megacorp that owns most everything and, de facto, everybody.
Lex's vision might be closest to Paul's, but I bet there still isn't enough overlap to leave Luthor happy enough. Probably still more overlap then with the rest of the Light (I doubt he would be satisfied with being Savage's or Bee's grand vizier), but he almost certainly intends to betray them at the end, and in a way that would make him the Hero of Humanity (or what's left of it) in the process.

"Three cheers for Luthor! He only got half the population killed!"
I used spine as a physical example.
…you can. Magic/Energy Bending can grant Bending to (theoretically) anyone.This is not evidence that Amon can use Energy Bending or that he could grant Bending.

The official art book states Amon was using Bloodbending to disrupt a persons Chi pathways.

So... there's three possibilities here.
One, you believe what you're saying, and you've got real insider information, and someone's in breach of contract and could stand to get in a lot of trouble.
Two, you believe what you're saying, but you've been suckered into believing that this is a specific correlation that Facebook has found, but in fact it's someone's prejudices that got mutated into a rumor that got picked up as truth, using known facts about Facebook's research studies as evidence to support the (false) rumor.
Or three, the unlikely possibility exists that you're lying.
I sincerely doubt it's #3 because you certainly seem earnest enough about it, but as a former Google employee myself and knowing the operational similarities between the two companies I find #1 moderately unlikely, though not impossible. But #2 is by far the most likely to be true: the correlation reeks way too much of wishful thinking, the construction sounds like an urban legend, and the support lists off so many broad exceptions that it looks like quack science. ("Of course your perpetual motion machine didn't work; you have to grease the axle with oil pressed from olives harvested under the full moon with a silver sickle.")
Regardless of which possibility is the truth, though, the actual conclusion is almost certainly false. EVEN IF such a correlation appeared in the data, pedophilia is rare enough that the base rate fallacy applies and the results would be statistically irrelevant.
In short: There is no possible meaningful correlation between pedophilia and MLP, so you would be best to rid yourself of that belief.

Oh I thought of another way that Doomsday is different from the Genomorphs.
Doomsday isn't an organ based lifeform.
In Doomsday 2 Electric Bugaloo, Superman had a motherbox on him, it gave him a lightsaber and a sonic gun, perhaps some other stuff, I can't remember, it's been a while, after all.
When Supes cut Doomsday with his lightsaber, Doomsday's arm was uniform grey flesh all the way through- no bones, no tendons, no circulatory system, no nerves, no muscles, his arm was "skin" all the way through.
The fact that later Imperiex reduced Doomsday to a skeleton could be taken as either DC not caring the least bit about continuity, or that Doomsday adapted at some point to grow an endoskeleton.
I presume that the genomorphs have things like stomachs, lungs, hearts, livers, kidneys, things like that.
Anyway I was thinking that Paul's research has a gap in it- metagene research.
Possibilities include the Extreme Enhancement Modules from Major Bummer, devices that attach to the heart and apparently activate the host's metagene. Can't be that hard to get, since the aliens who handed them out like candy were college students studying Earth superhumans for their thesis or something like that. Presuming that these guys exist of course, as always.
Another possibility, if he exists, is Vulcan. When the White Martians were meddling with human DNA which resulted in metahumans instead of kryptonian style powers for everyone, they created a metavirus- a communicable superpower. Unfortunately for the white martians that power was pyrokinesis and so they begat a line of Buffy the White Martian Slayers.
Although while I think the concept of Vulcan is interesting, his existence seems a tad problematic considering Zoat had the Guardians make martians the planetary equivalent of agoraphobics, which means that white martians coming to Earth to play god with human DNA, or being enough of a presence on Earth to warrant a multigenerational war on Vulcan's part, it just seems highly unlikely.
Which is a real pity. Pyrokinesis isn't bad, but if a metavirus can be created to pass on pyrokinesis, it's probably only a matter of research and resources to splice in other powers, as long as the powers are metagene based.

The thing about bending? It's not one of man's natural abilities.
The original benders were merely normal people granted their abilities by the Lion Turtles. Pre-Avatar Wan literally showed that every guy could be granted the power of any element by a skilled spirit bender. Not to mention that one's ability to actually gain bending is as linked to a people's spirituality just as much as blood.
Saying that bending can only be inherited is wrong.

I'll consider it. My mind is open.
The base rate is a problem.
Also. There is a difference between pedophiles and active pedophiles. The only way to tell with many outliers is to wait for shit to happen.
I would compare it to watching the heavens every night to map tiny shifts over decades of data.
This is of course completely wrong, which is why I am not a mathemancer.
Nobody is in trouble. Facebook opens its books to research all the time.
It's part of Zuckerbergs "I'm smarter than everyone " policy.
Statistics is hard, and I applaud you folks who do it right.
It can also be unnerving.
Target knows when you're pregnant...true story.
One thing for sure. Facebook is watching.

Satanus is a human spiritual entity. He exists due to the collective spiritual presence of humanity.
Human's get Reached (tm), then he's weaker, or possibly even subsumed.

Actually pedophilia could well be exceedingly common. I've read numbers as high as several percent in men. It would just be that no one would want to admit it or act on it.
Even molestation itself is very common (and was much more so back in the 60s-80s), again, rising to several percent.

Yes, I know. That's rather my point. They had access to water bending healing whenever Amon removed someone's bending. But they couldn't do anything. Katara herself checked Korra over. The process of restoring bending is explicitly energy bending.
The evidence is thus:
Amon can remove bending.
One ability is known to be capable of removing bending: energy bending.
Amon almost certainly have the level of spiritual focus it requires and knows that it exists because Aang used it on his father.
Blood bending is shown to grant physical control of other people's bodies.
Blood bending is not shown to be able to remove bending.
If blood bending was used to damage a person's physical body to prevent them bending, undoing that physical damage would undo the effect.
Water bending healers can undo physical damage.
Water bending healers were available to people who'd had their bending removed.
Water bending healers did not restore their bending, so most likely could not.
Energy bending did restore their bending.
Not conclusive, but more likely than any other explanation.
Edit:
They really didn't communicate that very well.
Edit 2: Chi disruption? They established in universe that you can fix that with flipping acupuncture! Does Republic City have no needles in it or something?

Yikes.
And young girls mature faster now due to high cholesterol diets.
Basically, it's social pressure from an enlightened society keeping the peace.
I wonder if it's rampant in the primitive screw head societies?
But I digress.
It ruins the story.
Renegraven went from ninja orgy fucking alpha monster, to a degenerate sicko in one single line.
What would be better, would have been a pony, ( not a fetishized pony human ) being created by ace, an actual little girl with reality bending abilities.
In a world with actual super heros, it makes sence that cartoons will be of other things. They could have pony cartoons. Ace would have seen them.
While I'm at it.
The allegory told to LUTHOR sounded like fan service. Extraneous details.
Too much winking.
Better to be more vague to highlight the point.
" In my Earth, there is a story about a land full of people and sorcerers. The sorcerers were born with the ability, and treated special.
One sorcerer decided to stop all the other sorcerers. He was violent and put down for being violent.
Instead, he could have used his ability to make regular people into sorcerers. He would have gone down in history for being a great man, instead of a thug.
Done. Doesn't sound like an aspie rattling of his Pokemon collection.
It's a person trying to make a point.
The important details.
Inequality from birth.
Misuse of power.
Violence counter productive.
Alternative solution.
Everyone wins.
Legacy.

Water-bending can't fix Chi-blocking, as was demonstrated in The Last Airbender, as Water Healing utilises that chi for healing.
Which is also why it can't heal innate defects in the body.

They kind of did with Korra when they showed her only loosing the bending she could actively use at the time.
That at least suggests it's something to do with her Chi instead of Energy Bending which would have removed her ability to bend entirely.
That was to fix a Chi imbalance not a disruption.
To use a plumbing analogy.
Sure you can fix a clogged pipe with a roter-router, but if the pipe is broken you are going to need to repair or replace the pipe before any water will flow through.
