Appearances
Feedback made his debut public appearance at the Mid-Ohio Con the weekend of November 25-26, 2006, in Columbus, OH. He has also appeared at, among other events Phoenix Cactus Comicon the weekend of January 26-28, 2007, in Phoenix, AZ; Steel City Con on the weekend of March 24th and 25th, 2007, in Monroeville, PA, at the Pittsburgh Expomart; and Emerald City Comicon on the weekend of March 31st and April 1st in Seattle, WA at the Qwest Expo Hall. He signed autographs and took pictures with fans at each event.
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.
The Sci-Fi Original Movie Mega Snake, which debuted August 25, 2007 on the Sci-Fi Channel, featured a brief guest appearance by Feedback. Though the movie was advertised on the Sci-Fi Channel as "starring Feedback," he is a minor character. His time on screen is minimal, totaling less than two minutes. The carnival scene with Feedback was reportedly filmed after the original movie was completed.
He appeared in the opening episode of the second season of Who Wants to Be a Superhero? announcing each contestant's acceptance, and again in the final episode to congratulate the winner of the contest. He also interviewed the contestant who had most recently been removed from the show on Scifi Channel's website after every episode.
Feedback was a Media Guest of Honor at GenCon Indy, Aug 16-19 2007, in Indianapolis, IN. In addition to signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans at his booth on the convention floor (along with Major Victory and Fat Momma), Feedback also sold a limited edition "Feedback Loop" token in association with the True Dungeon event run by True Adventures, Inc. Sales of this token raised over $1700 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic charities.
Feedback was also a Media Guest of Honor at Gencon Indy, Aug 16-19 2008, along with Hygena and the Enforcer.
Feedback was also a scheduled guest at Dragon*Con, America's largest Sci-fi/Fantasy/Horror/Comic/Media Convention, Labor Day weekend 2007 in Atlanta, GA. Scheduled along with him were fellow contestants Major Victory and Fat Momma.

Famous quotes containing the word appearances:
“What I often forget about students, especially undergraduates, is that surface appearances are misleading. Most of them are at base as conventional as Presbyterian deacons.”
—Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)
“It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all; but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“We often think ourselves inconsistent creatures, when we are the furthest from it, and all the variety of shapes and contradictory appearances we put on, are in truth but so many different attempts to gratify the same governing appetite.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
