** Mako is an Expy of [[Main/{{Batman}} Dick Grayson]]
** Bolin is an Expy of [[Series/DrakeAndJosh Josh Nichols]]
** Asami is an Expy of [[Comicbook/FrankMillersWolverine Mariko Yashida]]

I\\\'m not really sure how Unaloq is an expy of Ozai, other than being the BigBad, and Desna and Eska aren\\\'t much like Zuko or Azula at all (the sole comparison seems to be \\\"children of the BigBad)... they are vaguely Mai-like, as they\\\'re fairly emotionless, but that\\\'s about it. Tonraq and Hokoda definitely qualify, being chief of the tribe who\\\'s parent to the main waterbender and saddled with responsibility that keeps him out of being as close to his daughter as he\\\'d like, with very similar personalities. Senna and Kya are weaker, as neither of them got much screen time to really establish a personality.

President Raiko doesn\\\'t make any sense, as Senator Kelly is an outspoken anti-mutant politician and Raiko, while a muggle politician, is pretty much a ReasonableAuthorityFigure. To be honest, I don\\\'t know a lot about DrakeAndJOsh or Mariko, but I highly doubt those are good examples either.

And the other bullet points are just weak. Other than being a water-bender, Korra\\\'s personality is very different from Katara\\\'s, Mako being a Batman-expy has been discussed on the Korra page and shot down repeatedly. Dick Grayson is even weaker.

EDIT: So for Unaloq, there is one other pretty big similarity between the two: He tried to screw over elder his brother in order to take his rightful place as ruler of their nation. Still weak (that\\\'s similar enough that we could make a claim that he\\\'s an Expy for MCU Loki, for crying out loud) but in the interest of fairness I thought I\\\'d mention it.
