"I'm ... I'm with you!" — Zhen pledging his allegiance to Tokuga

Leader(s)-Lightning Bolt Zolt[2] (formerly) Viper (formerly) Tokuga Notable members-Bolin (formerly) ,Mako (formerly) ,Mushi ,Shady Shin,Skoochy (formerly) Two Toed Ping ,Zhen The Triple Threat Triad, also known as the Triple Threats, is the oldest and largest of the triads that operate in Republic City. The gang primarily consists of waterbenders, earthbenders, and firebenders, as opposed to the other single-element focused gangs, though the Triple Threats are also known to hire nonbenders and members who had their bending severed by Amon were allowed to remain in the group. The Triple Threat Triad's cars are red racers with a golden grill in the form of a lion turtle. They are used by all its members, and when one of these cars is seen coming down the street, it is usually indicative of incoming trouble. The Triple Threat Triad is the oldest triad in Republic City.[6] Under the leadership of Lightning Bolt Zolt, it grew into an organized crime syndicate, soon becoming the most powerful bending triad in Republic City, infamous for extorting shopkeepers, stealing shipments, and blackmailing public figures.[4] By 167 AG,[7] the triad had also become involved in fixing pro-bending matches and illegal bets, bribing even respected pro-benders such as Toza.#The Triple Threat Triad is based upon an autocratic leadership, since the boss of the triad has complete control over all actions of the gang.[2][18]

It is also known that some members of the triad are special recruiters, whose main task is to find suitable conscripts within the Triple Threat turf, particularly young and strong benders. Since the Triple Threat Triad is a multi-bending organization, what element a potential member is capable of bending is relatively unimportant. The recruiters operate alone, as they normally do not have to fear being attacked.

"Since you're obviously fresh off the boat, let me explain a couple things. You're in Triple Threat Triad territory, and we're about to put you in the hospital." — Viper to Korra. The mobsters who run the protection rackets around the city usually operate in teams of three: One waterbender, one earthbender and one firebender. In this way they can maximize the advantages their multi-bending brings with it. Some members also work as thugs to protect the headquarters. In times of need, such as during turf wars with other triads, the Triple Threats also hire non-members as security detail. the triad also began to hire street children like Skoochy to act as messengers for the triad. By 170 AG, the Triple Threat Triad had established a permanent headquarters in a large building located in downtown Republic City which was masked as a restaurant. According to Mako, the front of the building is almost always heavily guarded by thugs. However, during an Equalist raid the defense was overthrown, whereupon the headquarters was infiltrated and damaged by Equalist forces. In the course of the following repairs, the wooden front door[] was replaced by a steel door in order to increase the headquarters' security.
