Feedback is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Conductoid from the planet Teslavorr.
Appearance
11 year old Feedback has a black and white color scheme similar to Buzzshock. Feedback has one green eye in the middle of his head. He has two antennae and a tail that feature plugs on their tips that allows him to draw energy to himself. He has four fingers on each hand with similar plugs on the tip of each finger. Feedback has only two front toes.
16 year old Feedback looks similar to his 11 year old self, except that he is more muscular with gold battery bolts on his shoulders, arms and hips. He also has a black and green color scheme comparable to Diamondhead's shirt. His antennae are noticeably longer than when he was eleven. The round plugs on his fingers are now square.
Feedback wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
Powers and Abilities
Feedback has the ability to absorb and redirect any kind of energy, including mana. This ability is refined to the point that Feedback can redirect energy at near-point-blank range. He absorbs energy through the conductors on his antennae, tail, and fingers.
Feedback can use stored energy to generate electrical charges, which can be used as ranged attacks or to empower his punches. Feedback can also fire energy balls by joining his fingers.
Feedback has enhanced agility and jumping abilities. As seen in Showdown: Part 1, Feedback can run quickly on power lines.
Feedback has enhanced strength, as shown in Trouble Helix when he punched a boulder apart with ease.
Feedback can fly by projecting energy behind him like a jet engine.
Feedback is also able to stretch the plugs on his head, hips, and hands for more range.
Feedback can "smell" radio signals by using his antennae.
Weaknesses
Feedback needs to absorb energy from time to time to fight, because the energy contained within him will deplete with use.
