@Shawnbaby: ohhhh, thats why it looked different. I thought it was a different artists depiction of the Stark suit.

But going by showings, Aang wouldn't be able to do that. Why didn't he just use that lung airbending to kill Ozai when he first flipped on the Avatar State in their fight during Sozin's Comet? He was obviously bloodlusted at that point, as he seemed to be trying his hardest to kill Ozai right then and there. Only when he had Ozai at his mercy did he regain control over the state and refuse to kill him.
I would assume it's beyond an Airbender's ability, Avatar or not, to do that to someone.
I understand the concept of the ability plenty, but said ability is full of inference and has no basis on what Aang has shown concerning his Airbending abilities.
It's kind of like bloodbending for the Waterbenders, but one runs into a big problem with that theoretical ability.
Only Master Waterbenders can do it, and only on a full moon, when they're amped. Other times, it's just beyond their ability to manipulate.
Is Aang a Master Airbender? Absolutely. So why can't he do the same thing with air? The answer is this...
Firebenders and Waterbenders can draw extra strength and power from the Sun and Moon, boosting their own raw bending power. As far is I can tell from the show, Airbenders have no such natural amplifying source for their bending.
So unless someone can convince me otherwise, Aang wouldn't be able to simply bend the air from Peter's lungs. It's simply beyond his ability to manipulate.
Now, he could possibly bend air away from the immediate area surrounding Parker, but that would require a lot of concentration on Aang's part, given that Spidey is going to be moving as soon as the fight starts.
And webbing could be a potentially deadly problem for Aang, as Parker's web fluid is very, very strong. If Parker can web up a few limbs, its game over for Aang, as it would severely restrict his bending abilities.
Spider Sense would warn Peter ahead of time if something were putting him in mortal danger, like being swallowed by a fissure or getting incinerated by a fire blast.
That, and the fact that bending of any nature requires movement on the Bender's part, should give Parker ample time to figure out what's happening, and dodge it.
Spiderman possesses reflexes and combat speed that far surpass anyone in the Avatarverse. Benders seem to have really good reflexes, but no more so than any highly trained martial artist.
Master Bender, or Avatar, they are still human. Humans with incredible powers, yes. But still human, with human processing speed, reflexes, and durability.
Heck, we've seen Aang get tagged by several characters that Parker would absolutely wreck. And in this fight, getting tagged means instant death for Aang, as he absolutely cannot take a punch from a class 10 metahuman.
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think Parker could win this fight
