He ambushed Aang and friends when they were asleep but Toph felt his presence through the ground and saved them in time. His second attempt involved imprisoning Katara and Toph in a wood cage to lure out Aang. He found Aang but Aang dodged his blast in time and Katara and Toph managed to escape thanks to Katara bending her sweat.
His final attempt was when he tracked the gang down to the Western Air Temple. Zuko tried to talk him out of his contract but he refused. Sokka managed to figure out his location through the angle his blasts were coming from and throws his boomerang right into his third eye.
However, his third eye was hit by Sokka's boomerang during the ferocious battle, and he unintentionally unleashed a massive point-blank explosion that killed him and destroyed the surrounding area. This Fire Nation assassin discovered his ability when he was a young child, but was initially unable to control it and accidentally blew his right arm and leg off, which he replaced with his trademark metal prosthetic limbs.
Combustion Man was hired by Zuko to kill Aang, since the Prince believed there was a chance that the Avatar might have survived Azula 's attack at Ba Sing Se , an outcome which would jeopardize the new-found respect his father, Fire Lord Ozai , had for him.
This news drove the firebending assassin to utilize any means possible in eliminating such a potential threat. Combustion Man attacked Aang in an attempt to prevent his escape. Combustion Man eliminated or intercepted any evidence that could compromise his mission. When Aang was spotted by two Fire Nation soldiers, the assassin's raven eagle intercepted the soldiers' messenger hawk, enabling Combustion Man to read and subsequently destroy the message.
That night, he stealthily approached Aang and his friends' campsite, but his metallic footsteps were detected by Toph. Eschewing stealth, Combustion Man attacked, his powerful bolts countered both Katara 's waterbending and Toph's earthbending , forcing them to take cover.
He followed Aang as the Avatar led him away from his friends. Following a running battle, Combustion Man's attacks were countered by Aang's airbending and earthbending, and he eventually had to halt his pursuit as the Avatar escaped on Appa with the rest of the group.
In his second attempt, the Combustion Man operated more subtly by setting up a trap in Fire Fountain City via a wanted poster to capture Katara and Toph. He locked them in a wooden cell, depriving them both of earth and water to bend, and used them as nothing more than bait to lure in Aang, which proved successful. After Katara inventively used her sweat to waterbend and escape, the two girls arrived just in time to help Aang and Sokka , who had only narrowly avoided the ambush because Aang heard the assassin inhaling.
Katara momentarily hampered his assassination attempt by freezing his head in a block of ice, allowing the group to escape. Toph launched a boulder at him to cover the group's escape, prompting him to destroy it. As the rock exploded, a single pebble flew off of the rock and struck him directly on his third eye tattoo, blocking his chi.
He got up and attempted to shoot another explosion in the group's direction, only to find his ability hampered. The air around him detonated, sending him flying against a nearby wall, enabling the group to escape, much to his anger. It was during this attack that Sokka stated that "Sparky Sparky Boom Man" was an unfitting name for the assassin and dubbed him "Combustion Man" instead.
Combustion Man fought Aang on a train. After he had traced them at a train station, Combustion Man next targeted Aang while he and Sokka were accompanying a little girl named Sho on a train to her grandmother's house. During the train ride, the assassin attacked the Avatar, preventing his escape by threatening the lives of the other passengers. The explosions caused the train to go faster and knocked out the engineer.
After a short hand-to-hand confrontation, Aang convinced Combustion Man to face him atop the train , giving Sokka time to fix the engine. After Sokka stopped the train, Aang used water from a nearby lake to waterbend Combustion Man into the water below. Combustion Man caused his own death by unintentionally unleashing a massive point-blank explosion.
Combustion Man managed to locate the group during their stay at the Western Air Temple , though Zuko interfered with his surprise attack and ordered him to stop going after the Avatar. Having shoved the prince aside and launched another attack against the group, he was threatened by Zuko that he would not receive any payment, an offer that quickly changed to the promise of double payment when he grabbed hold of the young firebender's shirt to hold him off.
Zuko mentions that his name isn't Combustion Man, but does not mention the man's real name. Combustion Man was hired by Zuko to kill Aang, because knowing he was alive and could destroy his father's new respect for him drove him crazy.
Professional and diligent, the assassin eliminated or intercepted any evidence that could compromise his secrecy. That night he stealthily approached Aang and his friends campsite, but his metallic footsteps were detected by Toph. Aang told his friends to flee while he himself tried to lead the enemy away. Following a running battle, in which Aang used both airbending and earthbending to fend off Combustion Man's attacks to no effect, he eventually retreated onto Appa and the group flew away.
In his second attempt, Combustion Man operated more subtly by setting up a trap in Fire Fountain City via a wanted poster to capture Katara and Toph. He locked them in a wooden cell deprived of both earth and water to bend and used them as nothing more than bait to lure in Aang, which proved successful. After Katara inventively used her sweat to waterbend and escape, the two girls arrived just in time to help Aang and Sokka, who had only narrowly avoided the ambush because Aang heard the assassin inhaling.
Katara momentarily hampered Combustion Man's assassination attempt by freezing his head in a block of ice, allowing the group to escape. Toph launched a boulder at him to cover the group's escape, prompting him to explode it.
As the rock exploded, a single pebble flew off of the rock and struck him right on his third eye tattoo, blocking his chi. He got up and attempted to shoot another explosion in the group's direction, only to find his ability hampered. The air around him detonated, sending him flying against a nearby wall, enabling the group to escape.
He was visibly angered when he saw his prey escape. He somehow located the group again in the Western Air Temple. Zuko, having undergone a change of heart, deflected his opening attack and told him to stop. Zuko told Combustion Man that he would not pay him if he continued his attack, and then changed his offer to double-pay if he ceased to attack. Combustion Man, however, ignored both offers, appearing to attack for reasons other than money.
Zuko's antics proved to be a useful distraction for the group who used the time to take cover. When Combustion Man resorted to blowing up pylons supporting the temple, Sokka took aim and used his trademark boomerang to strike Combustion Man square on the forehead, briefly stunning him and blocking his chi.
