Every character who has shared a production with this one. Wikis are organised by character, not by encounter, so this question is close to unanswerable elsewhere — it exists here only because co-occurrence is recorded at the moment an appearance is.

The feat ledger
Converts absorbed kinetic energy into strength, so striking him harder makes him stronger
Absorbed kinetic energy is held as a defensive field
Absorbs kinetic energy directed at him and stores it
Converts absorbed energy into physical strength, so hitting him makes him stronger
Holds absorbed energy as a defensive field
Absorbs energy attacks as readily as physical ones
The counter is stated plainly: do not hit him — restrain him instead
Field strength is bounded by how much he has recently absorbed
