I honestly think this shit is a tie... They can both counter each others powers. Nobody has posted anything the other hasnt done before
Their powers work differently and they definitely do things the other can't.
Storm can't create fire from nothing or manipulate Earth and Aang can't shoot ice from his hands. Just as an example.
Aang also can't create a city or country wide storm that engulfs everything. He can't even shoot lightning the way Storm can, he has to redirect it. And Storm can create plasma and has made earthquakes on occasion.
How exactly would a country wide storm make a difference in a one on one fight? Everyone can agree that Storm can affect the elements on a way larger scale than Aang, but that doesn't really matter in the context of this discussion.
And
if Aang has learned how to lightning bend then he can recreate it. The whole redirecting lightning is just one of the steps to learning how to do it. Those who know how to do it can create their own lightning just like they create their own fire.
Aang can't do that though....not from what's been shown.
And a country/city-wide storm means she can engulf the entire area and not even worry about aiming or trying to hit him, a storm with that much energy would be destructive enough to easily wipe out an opponent in 1v1 combat unless they were super durable which Aang is not.
It would be destructive enough to easily wipe out an opponent IF that opponent couldn't bend those very elements nullifying them. Aang doesn't have to counter the entire countrywide storm. He only had to defend against the part that's a threat to him, which he could do.
The fact that Storm can make a country-wide storm with the power to overpower Hulk, Sentinels, etc. proves she has the brute force factor over Aang. If it comes down to control vs. control Storm wins cause she's stronger and faster by a large margin. Plus she can do multiple at once, aang won't be able to keep up.
You have absolutely no way of knowing that. If cats in here don't want to allow for the speculation that Aang improved his skills as he grew up, there is no way that you can assume that Storm can overpower Aang. Being able to do more of something is not the same as being able to do something better. Once again, Storm creating a huge hurricane where 99.9999% of its power will have no effect on Aang is meaningless. He doesn't have to bend the whole hurricane. He only has to bend the relatively miniscule portion of it that will affect him.
And it's irrelevant what the brute force of the hurricane can do to Hulk or a Sentinel. Aang doesn't have to withstand the brute force of the elements because he can literally control them. He doesn't have to stop the wind. He can just funnel it around himself.
Frankly, even is Storm could win, it wouldn't be using the strategy that you guys keep bringing up. Once again, it does not matter that Storm can affect the elements on a larger scale than Aang. Making countrywide hurricanes and things on that level would be a supreme waste of energy when fighting a single person and definitely takes more focus and effort on Storm's part than simply using attacks that can easily be directed on Aang.
