Generator Rex: Difference between revisions

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The original comic was only two issues long and never really got off the ground.

* [[Adult Child]]: Instead of being dark and truly evil, like other villains, Gatlocke seems to act cheery and a little childish.

** Alpha, the [[Big Bad]] of the ''[[Ben 10]]'' [[Crossover]] "Heroes United", {{spoiler|is a Nanite with the same ability to control other Nanites as Rex, and like ZAG-RS also wants to destroy the world.}}

* [[A House Divided]]: {{spoiler|John Scarecrow attempts to pull this on Rex, Holiday and Six after stealing information from them for New Providence. He actually succeeds.}}

** Biowulf also counts, strangely enough. Whenever he has a run-in with Rex or anyone else from Providence, the first thing he does is resort to violence. Check out how he freaks on Bobo when the Pack comes to New York. At this rate, it actually seems like ''Skalamander'' is the most stable member of the pack (if one doesn't count Circe). I mean, at least Skalamander tried to talk things out with Rex by saying "hey, we're on your side" before everything falls apart, in contrast to Breach or Biowulf.

* [[Aside Glance]]: In "Badlands", when Rex tinkers with the radio and a song by Orange (the band that made the ''Generator Rex'' theme song) starts playing, Bobo looks directly at the audience.

** It was actually more surprising that [[Nigh Invulnerability|it took him this long]].

** {{spoiler|Rex himself, in the following episode.}}

** Averted. Her face has been seen multiple times now, and she's definitely a [[Cute Monster Girl]]. ''Insane'', but cute.

* [[High School Dance]]: Noah ropes Rex into being his wingman for one. Given who [[The Jinx|he's paired with]], he was probably safer with the evil rabbit trying to kill him.

* [[Horror Hunger]]: Van Kleiss has to feed on the Nanites of E.V.Os to survive. The victims of this process are petrified and make nice statues in his garden.

* [[Hot Scientist]]: Dr. Holiday.

** Also happens to Rex {{spoiler|when Providence is planning to ''kill him.''}}

* [[Strong as They Need to Be]]: Rex's strength tends to vary wildly, even within single episodes. Compare "The Day Everything Changed" to "Badlands." In the latter, Rex fights a largely ordinary human in sword to sword combat, and defeats him after quite a bit of struggle, right after tossing aside one of Gatlocke's trucks. No matter how good Gatlocke's own enhancements, he's clearly not that strong. In the former, Rex jumps out of an airplane to take on a [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|giant monster E.V.O]]... Yeah...

** In the episode "Divide by Six", we finally see his eyes for the first time.

* [[Super Human Trafficking]]: Thanks to {{spoiler|the new mind controlling collars}} Providence is now not only able to capture EVOs, but also use them for various tasks, like collecting crops. They don’t distinguish between sentient and non-sentient ones. Official propaganda says that it’s a method to create “a better future for all EVOs" and help integrate them into the society. {{spoiler|Quarry}} tried to use the same method to create his own personal army.

* [[Tortured Abomination]]: Not stated outright, but heavily implied. Most people who've gone EVO seem to become insane, rampaging beasts, and generally seem ''very'' happy to be cured.

* [[Toxic Phlebotinum]]: {{spoiler|The Nanites were released with improper coding, hence the craptastic mutations. Rex, by comparison, is infected with an earlier, more stable version. This is why proper beta testing is ''important'', people!}}

** Except the whole "crash-land a real plane" part and fighting fifty-foot E.V.O monsters. That's kinda extreme.

* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: As evidenced by the presence of [[Nanomachines]] and a working (after a fashion) space elevator.
