Oh yeah, I momentarily forgot about Adam. His Semblance is what he did to Yang, as well as the giant robot in the Black Trailer, which turned the screen red with silhouettes. The writers said it works similarly to Yang's Semblance. So far, all we can gather is that he absorbs energy by blocking things with his sword, and then he can unleash all of that energy in a single attack. Meanwhile, Yang absorbs energy by being hit, basically taking damage, and she seems to be able to split up that energy among multiple attacks instead of having to use it all in one go. She's really lucky he hadn't absorbed anywhere near as much energy as he did in the Black Trailer or there might not have been anything left of her...
