The "Feedback" comic was released by Dark Horse Comics as a "one-shot" publication under the "Who Wants to Be a Superhero?" title, officially dated July 4, 2007. The character's story in the comic differs from Feedback's "official" origin (above) in several respects, most notably that "Matt" (the only "civilian" name given for the character in the comic) is struck by lightning while holding a high-tech game controller of his own invention. The character's powers are limited to the equipment mentioned above plus the Feedback Blast; no use of "game energy" is ever mentioned.
