Rex Salazar Is The Ptotagonist of The Cartoon Series Generator Rex.

Background

Born on April 23rd, 1994, Rex is the second son to Rafael and Violeta Salazar in Switzerland Geneva, both of his parents and older brother, Caesar were brilliant scientists who traveled around the world before Rex's birth. During his childhood, Rex spent every summer in a small South American town, where he played with his best friend, Federico.

However Rex was fatally injured in an industrial accident during the nanite event, due to a dispute between many scientists about how the nanites were to be used. Violeta, Caesar, Rafael and Gabriel Rylander injected Rex with the batch of fully programmed nanites hoping that it would save Rex's life. Though it was a major success Rex recieved abilities which reinforced their beliefs. By blind luck, Rex, Gabriel, and Caesar managed to survive the Nanite Event, While Rafael and Violeta were killed due to the massive nanite explosion it caused.

Later, assumed to be caused by the explosion, Rex had gained amnesia and traveled to Hong Kong and befriended three incurable EVOs Tuck, Skwydd, and Cricket.

Powers & Abilities

• E.V.O. Physiology: Like all living beings on Earth, Rex has nanites bonded to him on a molecular level. Having activated nanites makes him an EVO; however, unlike most EVOs, Rex has the ability to control his nanites at will, allowing him to generate various machinery from his body. He can also use his nanites to communicate with a variety of machines, as well as cure some EVOs of their mutations.
  • Technopathy: Rex is capable of using his nanites to interface with technology, allowing him to communicate with and control it. For example, he first demonstrated this ability to escape the confines of The Keep. Said in his own words, he can "hear them". This can also backfire; hearing too many voices at once will overwhelm Rex and eventually cause him to lose consciousness. After regaining his powers, his technopathic capabilities grew stronger, as shown when he took control of the entire Providence base to disarm hidden bombs.It has also been shown that he's enhanced technopathy allow to repair technology, such as severed wires .It is shown that Rex's enhanced technopathic capabilities can also allow him to reprogram machines. It has also been proven that Rex can understand the capabilities of a machine once communicating with it. In particular, when Rex used his technopathic abilities on Branden Moses's machine that was claimed to cure EVOs, Rex said he got an understanding that the machine was an inadequate machine with simple features. His technopathic abilities also enable him to disable Providence's control collars, however, they explode after the process.
  • E.V.O. Curing: Perhaps Rex's most important ability, Rex can extract the active nanites of other EVOs to cure them. Initially, Rex could not cure EVOs unless they willingly allowed him to extract their nanites. Later, his curing ability seemed to have improved somewhat, as he was able to cure some of Quarry's EVO henchmen against their will. However, it is possible they were simply caught off guard, as the first did not know he was capable of curing EVOs, and the second was unconscious. By his own admission, Rex also had trouble curing non-human EVOs as quickly as human EVOs. However, his skills gradually developed over time, as demonstrated when he successfully cured a Cat EVO that was hunting him and his friends. Rex eventually began to cure animal EVOs without any hesitation. However, some EVOs, known as incurables, have nanites that are completely resistant to curing. When Rex tried to cure a dying incurable EVO named One, the strain was too much for Rex to handle. Other risks are also associated with EVO curing. Rex has a limit to how many nanites from cured EVOs he can carry. If he exceeds this limit, he will begin growing metallic tumorous sacks. Also, if he extracts corrupted nanites, such as the highly unstable nanites in Abysus, he runs the risk of destabilizing his own body. After the worldwide curing event, Rex's curing abilities have largely become obsolete.
  • Machine Maifestation (AKA "Builds"): Rex can shape his nanites into a variety of machinery. He uses these for offense, defense, and transportation. The weapons he forms out of his body can be destroyed, but he usually can reform them quickly afterward. Also, if Rex is exhausted, it takes more focus to maintain his weapons; otherwise, they instantly disassemble. At one point, Van Kleiss drained away all but one of Rex's nanites, temporarily removing Rex's powers as well. After an MRI, Dr. Holiday discovered the Omega-1 Nanite that Dr. Gabriel Rylander had injected into Rex and identified it as a Control Nanite. Using the supply of inactive nanites he had previously off-loaded in the Purgatory base, Rex was able to reactivate the Control Nanite, regaining his original powers, as well as gaining the blueprints for more powerful machines. Previously, Rex lacked the ability to program his body into building more than one machine at a time. As of now, Rex can allow his nanites to build and use two machines simultaneously.
    • Smack Hands: The smack hands are massive orange gauntlets that Rex can transform either arm into (preferably both) to take down larger EVOs. The smack hands give him incredible strength, allowing him to break through obstacles or lift heavy objects. When forming them, he has control over the overall size, length, and flexibility; being able to extend them to reach certain distances. Without the use of his punk busters, Rex can use his smack hands to significantly push himself into the air and ultimately use them to absorb impact when landing. They are also moderately capable of shielding against lasers  and debris,  however, they are weak against acid. Out of all machines, the smack hands seem to be the only ones that are nerve-sensitive. In addition to the smack hand's original assets, a drill mode allows the smack hands to function as high-powered drills and add additional power behind his strikes. Rex can use this to easily drill and travel through underground pathways. Since his smack hands are already sinkable, he has used his drills to quickly propel and drag him underwater when wanting to reach a destination at a certain speed. He can create Huge shockwaves by clapping both of them.
      • Combat Drill: Rex can make his smack hands spin and use it like a drill to drill and travel through underground pathways, and propel and drag himself underwater. According to Rex, they can spin with a force of "7,500 horsepower."
    • Boogie Pack: The boogie pack is a jet pack with a pair of wide orange turbine wings. Rex is capable of using it to fly at high speeds; it also gives him a high level of agility. Rex used the boogie pack to travel over 100 miles in only a few minutes. The boogie pack's maximum speed is unconfirmed. He can launch the twin turbines at an enemy EVO like a bola. He can also shoot two large grappling hooks on the top of both turbines. The boogie pack can also successfully propel Rex underwater. Rex has also use the turbine wings to create compressed air. Unfortunately, there is a limit as to how much weight his boogie pack can transport at once.
    • Slam Cannon: The slam cannon is a large orange projectile cannon that Rex can transform either arm into. Similar to a rocket launcher, it is positioned to rest on his shoulder. However, it does not produce its own ammo; instead, a maw on the back end of the slam cannon can extend into the ground and reload solid material for ammunition. It then proceeds to fire the balled material at its target with great force.
    • Rex Ride: The Rex ride is an orange hover motorbike that Rex can form out of his lower legs. The vehicle can drive over any terrain and can go over 200 mph. Despite lacking wheels, the Rex ride is capable of driving up vertical loops and curves. It has a retractable battering ram instead of an engine block and it can be used like a shield to break through trees and incredibly thick walls. For protection, a black helmet is formed over Rex's head.
    • Punk Busters: The punk busters are a pair of massive orange super boots with retractable spikes on the soles and also jet boosters on the heels to considerably amplify Rex's kicking power and speed. They allow Rex to jump hundreds of feet into the air or jump across ten square blocks. He can also use the punk busters to repel powerful EVO enemies or kick through thick metal. In his own words, it feels as if "you were roundhouse kicked by a freight train". Like a hydraulic cylinder, the punk busters can have its foot extended to kick enemies away. The punk busters are so strong, that a stomp is enough to dismantle its surrounding, they could cause rising fissures accurate enough to repel its target. and be completely able to knock down a very large rock based form of Zag RS.
    • Big Fat Sword: The big fat sword (also known as the B.F.S.) is a massive orange sword that Rex can transform either arm into. It is one of Rex's most lethal machines. Although it is used offensively to easily cleave through objects, it is can be used to deflect attacks. Once stabbed into the pavement, the big fat sword can provide mobility for Rex and others who hold on to it.
      • Battle Saw: Using a lever on the side of his big fat sword, the top half of the sword will split apart and begin to rotate at a high velocity. This transforms the big fat sword into the battle saw—a giant orange circular saw that can slice through tough objects. He has used it several times to primarily slice tentacles off from huge EVOs or to cut himself free from tough restraints.
  • Omega-1 Nanite: The Omega-1 Nanite, also known as the Control Nanite, is a large, silver nanite that was injected into Rex by Dr. Rylander. This nanite controls the active nanites within Rex's body and is responsible for the creation of Rex's new machines.
    • Improved Nanite Healing: The Omega-1 Nanite greatly enhances Rex's physical durability. When he almost drowned in a river, it restarted his heart in a matter of seconds. As a result of this ability, he is immune to any damage inflicted by lethal attacks, such as when NoFace or Quarry continuously attacked him with murderous intent, yet failed to cause any injuries... It would later, with the rest of the nanites, heal him from the injuries caused by the Consortium in a matter of hours.
      • Superhuman Durability: Rex appears to have strength and durability that is beyond average humans. On numerous occasions he has survived situations well beyond the capacity of normal humans, like being thrown through a concrete wall, being smashed through houses and buildings, tanking explosions, and much more. For example, Rex was the only person who could survive using the space elevator. A transportation device which can reach from earth to space in minutes at immense speeds, causing incomprehensible G-Forces from the speed to pressurize Rex's body. White Knight commented that the G-forces from the trip would kill a normal person. Rex was also smashed through three stone pillars without any serious injury. He was also one of the few who could survive the extreme pressure of the deepwater trench beneath Aquania. Rex can also casually tank hits from EVO's who destroy buildings and even more on a daily basis and survive multiple energy bolts.  He could also take multiple hits from quarry's punches without feeling great pain. His durability reaches the point to where he took a bolt of natural lightning (via a portion of the Meta Nanite's power from a consortium member) without sustaining any serious injury. However, as a result of being so dependent on his machines, Rex has physical strength and seems to struggle to do straining activities without his builds. For example, when Rex attended a Providence Basic Training camp, Rex used the smack hands to do push-ups but struggled to do sit-ups since there was no build to assist. Furthermore, using just his human strength, Rex was unable to pull Circe to safety when Abysus was destabilizing. (Although he was incredibly tired prior to this) Later on, however, Rex's human strength is comfortably at superhuman levels and he had highly advanced conditioning to support this, Similar to Agent Six, Rex's Nanites even without his weapons grant him strength, durability, speed and agility beyond that of the average human, though Rex's is to a higher degree. However, Rex's machines are very heavy, as shown when Rex's smack hand caused him to sink in the ocean. This implies that it is the internal mechanisms of the machines that allow him to lift them. Then again, Rex has shown extreme physical prowess with his smack hands and punk busters, such as drop-kicking a three-headed monster EVO who was much taller and larger than most of the buildings in New York, or lifting a building with his smack hands and batting multiple EVOs away with them.
    • Nanite Replicating Program: The Omega-1 Nanite can supply Rex with an abundance of active nanites instantly.
      • Infinite Nanite Supply: The Omega-1 Nanite inside of Rex has a self-replicating program, meaning that Rex can create more and more active nanites if needed. This function was seen to be operational when the Molecular Destabilizer was obliterating his active nanites.
    • Possession Resistance: The Omega-1 Nanite protects its user from any kind of Possession. When Alpha tried to forcefully merge with Rex, it stopped Alpha from possessing Rex's body.
    • Self-Machine Generation: The Omega-1 is capable of creating new builds instantaneously the moment it senses its user in any imminent danger. When Rex was unable to protect himself from the molecular destabilizer, it granted him a new build called the Block Party to counter it. It also created a new, full EVO form for Rex as he recovered from a great deal of damage in his fight against the Consortium.
      • Blast Caster: The blast caster is a machine that consists of a navy-colored, backpack dynamo and a long, black tentacle-like whip that extends from his right arm. It was the first build created with the Omega-1 Nanite. While the blast caster does act as a whip, Rex appears to have control over the appendage like a muscle; wrapping around enemies or managing to grab small objects. He can pull objects to himself, simply by shrinking the whip inside. When freely flying through the air, Rex can make the whip cut and turn corners at will. Unclear whether this is only possible underwater, Rex has demonstrated taking hold of objects from afar and reeling himself in. It can also channel electrical shocks powerful enough to stun an enemy by the Generator at the back. The whip can thin out and break if put under enough stress.
      • Funchucks: The funchucks are the second build created with the Omega-1 Nanite. They are a pair of giant, metallic nunchaku that are attached to both of Rex's arms. He can spin them at high speeds and then launch either arm at his target. Defensively, they can divert heat seeking rockets if spun fast enough. He can also use them to generate a destructive energy pulse by slamming them together after spinning them, allowing him to shoot a light blue arc of energy at his enemies. The Funchucks can be used as a giant lantern in the dark.
      • Bad Axes: The bad axes are the third pair of machines created with the Omega-1 Nanite. They are a pair of large blue axes with energized blades that Rex builds with his hands. The axes are so powerful that they are capable of easily slicing through a Providence fighter jet with one slice. Despite their massive size, Rex still manages to fluidly fight in close combat with his enemies.
      • Block Party: The block party is a pair of navy-colored metallic gauntlets that generate blue energy shields made of highly energized atoms. The block party can either generate two individual, circular shaped shields on each gauntlet, or it can form a dome/sphere to surround Rex on the ground or in mid-air. The energy shields are capable of withstanding an extensive amount of damage before shattering like glass. The shields can block not only energy-type attacks, but ward off solid projectiles and physical attacks as well. If positioned well enough, the shields are capable of deflecting attacks back at the enemy.
      • Sky Slyder: The sky slyder is a blue glowing machine that Rex builds with his lower legs. It is similar to a regular surfing board, except it can fly at high speeds in midair. Rex initially had trouble creating the sky slyder, but he successfully built it later on.
  • Superhuman Reflexes: He was also capable of outrunning and avoiding Providence's elite agents by using his quick reflexes and tumbles to evade their quick strikes. Rex can also dodge. There have also been several cases where Rex's Omega-1 nanite increased his reaction time dramatically, such as dodging Hunter Cain's missile while groggy or even dodging bullets from point-blank range. Rex is the second character behind Agent Six to pull this off. Rex has even dodged lightning from the consortium on two different occasions, which is a tremendous testament to his improved speed.
  • Healing Factor & Hyper Adaptability: Rex's Nanites have shown a variety of both direct and passive defense mechanisms for him in and out of combat. When Rex was mortally wounded in an industrial accident, the nanites he was injected with completely healed him. Later, the Omega-1 Nanite he was injected with restarted his heart. Rex's nanites cured him of poison from a sea urchin. Rex also revealed that his nanites can counteract knock-out gas; however, the same gas was used earlier by Dr. Holiday for the nanite-removal treatment, suggesting that the nanites may have some way to distinguish between the use of such gas as a medical anesthetic or as a weapon, and respond properly. In extreme situations, the nanites inside his body can take control and act to save Rex's life. When Rex tried to cure Weaver, Rex's nanites took control of his body to make him stop and ordered Agent Six to "take the shot". And when faced  His Omega-1 nanite can also subconsciously react to bigger threats such a Quarry's Molecular Destabilizer, forging and creating a new Machine in reaction and counteract to the weapon's abilities (To which Rex himself was unaware of the Block Party's existence until the moment, unlike his other Omega-1 Builds) or smaller threats. For instance, every time Providence tries to put a tracer on him, his nanites automatically dismantle it.
  • Breach Intuition/6th Sense: Rex can also sense whenever Breach is near, which he describes as a "creeped-out feeling". It is clear this ability works due to his nanites, as he states that his Nanites are "onto the whole 'ripping-the-very-fabric-of-space' thing, implying that his Nanites have reactive evolution to even beings of another dimension, granting Rex a form of Spatial Awareness." However, it is unknown whether he gained this ability from being inside Breach's pocket dimension as he is also able to know Breach took Circe there (though he could have just been guessing) or due to the abilities the Omega-1 Nanite grants him. However in Riddle of the Sphinx Rex's Nanites alerted him of a disguised Doctor Holiday nearby, confirming that this ability is an overall extra sense.
• Decent Hand-to-Hand Combatant: In addition to his acrobatics, Rex knows basic hand-to-hand combat, most likely from training with Providence for so many years. He took on various elite agents, who were highly skilled in combat. He also managed to beat several equipped Providence agents without using his machines and while having his arms restrained. Rex has also been capable of cracking concrete with his normal human strength out of anger. He can synchronize his fighting skills with the use of his machines, making his blows much more effective as shown when he defeated Breach, Biowulf, and Skalamander in rapid succession with ease.
• Genius-level Intelligence: Although not often portrayed, Rex is quite intelligent. Rex scored a 98% on what was considered a very difficult trigonometry test, while one student came out saying "my brain hurts". Rex said it was easy, as it was "like aiming [his] Slam Cannon". When the trigonometry teacher threw out a long string of mathematical trajectories (easily taking 10 seconds to say at full speed), Rex worked it out in a few seconds, (shown as a physical diagram in his point of view) and used the trajectory mentioned to send his opponent flying.
• Expert Acrobatics: Rex has also demonstrated being a good acrobat. During one of Rex's flashbacks, Rex, Tuck, Skwydd, and Cricket are shown doing acrobatics during one of their midnight-rooftop runs. Rex has also performed mid-air flips; dodging lasers while on a moving train and curing an EVO in mid-flip. On both occasions, he has landed without any issues.
• Meta-Nanites/Godhood: When Rex had complete control over all five Meta-Nanites he temporarily became the most powerful being in the universe and was granted godhood with the Dominion Code. Obtaining glowing eyes, Rex could form a blue dome around him and quickly levitate into deep space. By simply using words, Rex attempted to cure every EVO and discard every nanite—notably known as the worldwide cure. However, after he used his god-like powers to spread the world-wide cure to all EVOs, he later ordered the Meta-Nanites to deactivate ensuring no one could ever use their power again. It was also implied that others still had the possibility of avoiding his power.

Equipment

• Multi-Vision Goggles: Originally a normal set of goggles that provided basic eye protection, but later on Rex got an upgrade to his goggles which gave him a variety of visions including infrared, microscopic, and nano vision.
• Providence Equipment:
• Providence Power Suit:

Transformations

Original Mecha EVO Form

A young Rex demonstrated the use of a giant bio-mechanical form that had most of Rex's current builds, including a hooked version of the B.F.S. on one arm, Punk Busters for legs, slam cannons on both shoulders that fired missiles, and a smack hand on the other arm. It also had a chest plate that slightly resembled the smack sands, shoulder pads that resembled the turbines of the boogie pack, and the helmet from when he uses the rex ride. While in this large and imposing form, Rex demonstrated typical EVO-on-the-loose behavior, and after reverting to his human form, he lost his memories. Rex partially transformed into this form when he was about to be dissected by Dr. Fell, meaning this may be a defense mechanism. He was also about to return to this form when he was trying to regain his memory with Caesar's ineffective memory machine. Rex had only learned about his full EVO form before his final confrontation with the Consortium and was advised against becoming it again by Six as they had surmised that he will lose his memories again if he uses it. When exploring the underground chambers in Abysus, it is revealed that the young Rex had a colored drawing of this giant robot, implying that the drawing had inspired this form.

Omega EVO Form

As a complete armor is activated by the Omega-1 Nanite, it is a powerful robotic body. Rex activated the form to defeat the Consortium. It appears that the robotic armor has fiery blue flames as hair and blue colored armor. Unlike his other Full-EVO form, Rex is in control of himself.

• Was once able to stop a space elevator from falling (86 trillion tons of force).
• Fought Ben 10, in two seperate, different continuities... he fought Ben Tennyson's:
  • Humungousaur, who is one of Ben's strongest aliens, who can:
    • Create earthquakes by punching the ground.
    • Hold up the Washington Monument.
  • Cannonbolt, who:
    • Is strong enough to punch through concrete!
    • Survived atmospheric re-entry!
  • Rath, who:
    • Lifted a chair bolted to the floor, out of the ground!
    • Survived a freefall from thousands of miles in the air... just to get up and yell at crater his face made!
• His Omega Form was powerful enough to defeat a giant mech, who is the combination of 5 other EVOS.

Speed

• He's quick enough to dodge automatic gunfire.
• Fast enough to dodge lightning.
• Dodged multiple attacks from Circe.
• Reacted to a missile after it was fired at close range.
• Caught a stalactite before it hit the ground.
• With the Meta-Nanites, once flew from Earth to space in a matter of seconds (The fastest rocket to ever reach orbit was able to make the trip in under 13 seconds, over 17,000 mph, Rex made the same trip in under 3 seconds, well over 74,000 mph/97x speed of sound).

Skill

• His hacking is powerful enough to:
  • Hack the security camera monitoring him, allowing him to escape a prison he was trapped in that was specifically made to contain him!
