Feedback

Feedback is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Conductoid from the Teslavorr nebula.

Appearance
11-year-old Feedback has a black and white color scheme similar to Buzzshock, one green eye in the middle of his head, two antennae and a tail each featuring a round plug on its tip that allows him to draw energy to himself. He has four fingers on each hand with similar plugs on the tip of each finger and his feet have only two front toes.

16-year-old Feedback is more muscular than his 11-year-old self and has gold battery bolts on his shoulders, arms and hips. His chest is recolored green, his antennae are noticeably longer, and the plugs on his fingers are now square.

Feedback wears the original Omnitrix/Omnitrix symbol on his chest.

Powers and Abilities
Similar to Chromastone, 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. He can also run quickly on power lines.

Feedback has enhanced strength, as he can punch 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.

Feedback can survive in the vacuum of space.

Weaknesses
Feedback needs to absorb energy from time to time to fight because the energy contained within him will deplete with use.

Like Chromastone, there is a limit to how much energy Feedback can absorb.
