'''Voice Actor''': Creator/WallyKurth

A senior-level operative for Providence, Six is literally the sixth deadliest man on the planet. Highly skilled in every form of combat and trained in methods of intrigue, Six is the ultimate bodyguard to Rex. His stoic nature and lightning-fast mind have made him a prized operative and explain why he was given the assignment of helping Rex learn how to utilize his powerful abilities. Unfortunately, Six doesn't have much patience for undisciplined partners, unreliable machines, and especially smart-mouth teenagers! So from the onset, Rex and Six have an abrasive "odd couple" relationship.

!Rex Salazar
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_04_23_21_55_38.png]]

'''Voice Actor''': Creator/DarylSabara

Rex is a charming teenager with a sharp sense of humor and a thirst for adventure (at least, if you ask him). He is living the dream as the point man of a high-powered super-spy team and is amazed by the weird world he's a part of, and most definitely digs the spotlight as Providence's weapon of choice. It's like being a super-powered rock star, most of the time. Like any teen, there's a lot going on with Rex that keeps him awake at night – mainly the amnesia that's robbed him of his past. He can't remember anything beyond the few months before joining Providence because they promised to help him learn where he comes from. He is driven toward any clues that might help unlock his memories or better understand and master the strange but wonderful machines banging around inside of him.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Blonde in the original comics; black-haired in the cartoon.
* AgeLift: In the original ''M. Rex'' comic, he was a blonde kid; Here, he's a Latino teenager.
* AllTheOtherReindeer: Has shades of this in the early episodes, most prominently in the pilot episode, given his heartbroken look when the kids he thought he made friends called him a freak and laughed.
* AmnesiacDissonance: Before his most recent memory loss, he was a self-centered {{Jerkass}} thug who betrayed his best friends out of convenience. After, he's still a jerk but is willing to risk his life for people he doesn't know all the time.
* AntiHero:
** It's pretty unquestionable that at heart he's a good person, but he's also prone to reckless and selfish behavior that can land him in trouble.
** As of episode 20, this might even be starting to drift into a subversion of SaveTheVillain. [[spoiler: Though the villain in question survives, Rex does nothing to intervene, and actually leaves him with both of his robotic arms ripped off on top of a speeding truck heading for a cliff.]]
** He does it again in episode 35, [[spoiler:where he trades Quarry for Circe to Breach since Breach needs to bring back a traitor/failure to appease Van Kleiss about her own slip-up earlier that episode. Rex knew he was pretty much dooming Quarry and did so anyway. When Quarry comes back, Rex outright wonders how he even survived the experience.]] Notable because there was clearly a more lawful and less violent solution that by all rights Rex would normally be ''required'' to take if he was being held accountable. In other words, Rex went out of his way to royally screw an enemy over, possibly to his death, even after said enemy had surrendered and the mission was over.
* ArtisticAge: The fact that he is only 15 came as a bit of a surprise to some viewers; many assumed he was 20-ish.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He is apparently consciously aware of the angles and trajectories his ranged weapons need to hit moving targets (Which requires knowledge of Differential Calculus level math at least, although the show only makes mention of Trigonometry).
* BatmanGambit: Rex manages to pull one of these in "Alliance", [[spoiler:exploiting Van Kleiss' need to have him alive to turn No-Face, who wants Rex dead, against Van Kleiss.]]
** Done again in episode 35 [[spoiler: He got a recording of Breach spilling way too many details to Quarry in order for her to have to trade Quarry for Circe, who she had captured.]]
* BrilliantButLazy: Turns out Rex is actually quite the math prodigy.
** {{Justified|Trope}} due to his use of geometry in using his Slam Cannon, as explained in show.
** There were actually indications early on that Rex had some knowledge of electrical engineering and that he had to design his weapons himself.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's apparently a competent ''espionage'' agent in the field, despite blatantly disregarding procedure, and outing himself at the drop of a hat. His WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer mentality tends to make it a somewhat viable approach, though his natural charisma is also helpful.
** Another instance: in "Alliance" he's able to turn two major enemy factions against each other, create internal strife in one faction, and thwart the villains' plans, seemingly all for kicks (his primary objective being something entirely separate). He does this while [[ThirdPersonPerson narrating]] his every action, even during stealth, and he arbitrarily [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere quits]] once he gets the two factions fighting.
** Later episodes do show him being a well-behaved and competent field operative, usually when infiltrating enemy bases.
* ChickMagnet: Rex has drawn the attention of Circe, Breach, Annie, Cricket, a high ranking Green Fist eco-terrorist, Dr. Holiday's kid sister, and a random delivery girl. All of them have shown varying amounts of [[ShipTease interest]] in Rex.
* ChivalrousPervert: To an extent. He'll hit on women he barely knows, but he's more delicate around anyone he's actually interested in or respects.
* CharacterDevelopment: Evident in "Alliance", where he acknowledges his attraction to Circe without it being an issue, whereas in earlier episodes it was a clear distraction. By "Hard Target", he's alright with her dating someone else [[spoiler:(she isn't)]]--the bigger issue is the ensuing threes-a-crowd dynamic.
* DashingHispanic: [[spoiler:He's half-Argentinan, half-Mexican. The "Dashing" part is a bit up for debate.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Coupled with an inability to take anything seriously. Rex is constantly joking, and the more dire and serious things get, the more he dials up the snark. At times, it can get to the point where it seems to be a coping mechanism more than anything else. Which is confirmed in "Heroes United".
* DestructiveSavior: Rex at one point defends his work by saying that he protects people and property, only to quickly amend that he doesn't do as much of the latter.
* {{Determinator}}: He doesn't give up easily, to put it lightly.
* DivideAndConquer: He has a great talent for getting his enemies tangled up in each other's plans.
* DualWielding: Averted with his builds outside of using both Smackhands at once--he'd always just rapidly switch between them. Finally lampshaded by [[LaserGuidedAmnesia Six]] in "Crash and Burn" who wondered why Rex never did this trope... [[spoiler: Rex has no idea why, and does in the next race by using both the Slam Cannon and the BFS while on the Rex Ride. It turns out he'd just ''assumed'' he could only do one build at a time.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Quite possibly the only time Rex ever drops the attitude [[spoiler:is when he and Breach are about to be swallowed by a time portal. Once he realizes there's nothing anyone can do, he just shuts up and hugs Breach.]]
* FusionDance: with [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}} Ben Tennyson]] as [[SuperEmpowering Upgrade]] in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10GeneratorRexHeroesUnited''.
* GreenLanternRing: His powers let him create and control machinery, as well as interface with and control any electronic system by touch. It seems to be limited by his mechanical knowledge of whatever it is he's operating. He's able to power up or power down any machine easily, though anything more takes time and effort.
* GogglesDoNothing: Averted. Whenever Rex makes a jetpack or hoverbike, the goggles come in handy.
** GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: In "Double Vision" his regular goggles are replaced with a more high-tech pair ([[OutOfOrder previously hinted at in "Heroes United"]]) with advanced functions like heat vision, nanite vision, microscopic zoom, and a targeting computer.
* GoodIsNotDumb: On the surface, he's goofy, self-obsessed, clumsy, and idealistic. However, he's pragmatic when facing foes, and has a keen strategic mind. He's also accomplished enough as a mathematician to consciously apply principles of math and science in combat.
* GratuitousSpanish: And NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent. Both in-universe and out, as well. He does have amnesia, after all.
** To elaborate, he's ethnically Hispanic, but born in Geneva, Switzerland and raised around the globe. César notes how he always tried to speak Spanish, with hilarious results.
** And then lampshaded by Holiday declaring that Rex needs Spanish lessons.
* IdiotHero: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] Despite his TotallyRadical mannerisms and eccentric behavior, Rex, while not the smartest guy, definitely isn't dumb, and has played [[BatmanGambit Batman]] [[XanatosSpeedChess Speed Chess]] with the big bad on several occasions. Also, he's a highly advanced student of mathematics and seems to have a working knowledge of his weapons mechanics.
* KidHero: He's 15-years-old at the start of the series.
* HeroicBSOD: In "The Hunter" and at the end of "Assault on Abysus" and "Mind Games".
* HealingFactor: He has a slow one, taking days or weeks to heal serious injuries, putting him in a coma in the meanwhile.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Noah.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Sort of. Rex loves the action of fighting Evos, but normal life as compared to life working for Providence holds a lot of appeal for him. Basically, he'd prefer if Evo-busting was just his day job.
* InTheBlood: [[spoiler: Rex pre-amnesia had {{Jerkass}} ManipulativeBastard tendencies, to the point of sociopathically double-crossing "friends" of his. Now, consider how little Cesar seems to be inhibited by little things such as "morals"...]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he can be brash and abrasive, he does have a heart.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: A chronic ailment, evidently. Periodically, his memory gets wiped, though it's never shown to happen during the time the series takes place. Possibly a side-effect of his nanites. [[spoiler: He breaks out of it in the finale, seemingly.]]
* LikesOlderWomen: 15-year-old Rex really likes hitting on Doc Holiday who is 28, even after he falls for a girl his own age, though it switches to semi-teasing after that.
* MadeOfIron: Even without his constructs to protect him, he's inhumanly durable, being able to (for instance) withstand oceanic pressures that would crush even specifically marine-adapted [=EVOs=].
* ManipulativeBastard: A heroic example. When he needs to be.
* MoralityPet: It's implied Rex is this for Six in "Promises, Promises", as he's the one that fought tooth and nail to get him on the team.
** Officially proven in "Divide By Six" where he said the main reason he never succeeded One was because he met Rex.
** [[spoiler:Even after he loses his memories, Rex ends up as this to him because he trusts Six so much.]]
** [[ShootTheDog ...And yet,]] it's also flat-out stated that if Rex's PhlebotinumOverload hits SuperpoweredEvilSide levels, it's Six's job to kill him.
*** [[spoiler:He's told to do just that at the start of "Six Minus Six" since the machine was putting Rex in danger of turning back into that mecha again. Six chose to attack the machine instead, which gave him six years of memory loss.]]
* MrFanservice: He has had numerous [[ShirtlessScene Shirtless Scenes]] showing that he is as [[HeroicBuild ripped]] as Ben and Kevin from sister show ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce''.
** Examples include a [[ShowerScene Shower Scene]], a [[BathtubScene Bathtub Scene]], a [[BeachEpisode Beach Episode]], at least two [[AfterActionPatchUp After Action Patch Ups]], and wearing only pajama shorts or boxer shorts as pajamas.
** Other noteworthy examples include [[SleepsInTheNude waking up in a hospital bed completely nude]] only wearing a [[ModestyBedsheet Modesty Bedsheet]], then changing into a [[LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine labcoat]] [[GoingCommando with nothing underneath]] after his clothes were quarantined [[HesGotLegs showcasing his nice legs]], and later in the series finale being forced to fight off intruders while only wearing a [[ModestyTowel Modesty Towel]].
* MysteriousPast: So mysterious, not even he knows the full extent of it. In fact, he knows less than several other characters.
* NighInvulnerable: He never actually gets a scratch on him, and internal damage is very rarely implied despite the frequently ''extreme'' blunt force trauma he normally goes through. Crush-depth pressure doesn't phase him, either.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: From what is seen, it might be deconstructed with Rex. Despite being the only thing capable of curing [=EVOs=] and pretty powerful, the higher-ups are more concerned with him doing his job rather than going rogue and Rex just wants to have a bit of normality in his life instead of being caged up like some animal.
* PhlebotinumOverload: Rex's PowerNullifier ability works by absorbing their nanites. If he absorbs too many, it's not pretty.
* PowerNullifier: He can "shut down" other Evos, permanently reverting them to human form. Unfortunately for him, some Evos are incurable.
* PsychoactivePowers: If Rex loses confidence, his constructs begin to malfunction and may fall apart.
* RaceLift: In the original ''M. Rex'' comic, he was a blonde kid; Here, he's a Latino teenager.
* RealMenWearPink: He really likes watching [[SoapOpera telenovelas]].
* RedIsHeroic: Wears a red jacket as his main outfit.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Six and Noah's blue.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: MadeOfIron, to be specific. He gets thrown through lots of things that a normal person really shouldn't get up from being thrown through. It's later made clear that he has SuperToughness bordering on being NighInvulnerable.
** He's also inhumanely agile; probably one of the most agile characters on the show (given the cast full of JustForFun/{{Egregious}} CharlesAtlasSuperpower, that's saying something).
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: He often times goes against Providence's orders to do what he believes is right, pissing off White Knight in the process.
* ShapeshifterBaggage: Justified as of "Frostbite". He cures other Evos by drawing their nanites into himself. That's where the extra mass comes from. Once he's drawn in too many to handle, Providence has facilities to remove the excess baggage. It's also been shown that creating his machines does in fact increase his weight.
* ShapeshifterWeapon: He doesn't ''have'' one so much as he ''is'' one.
* ShipperOnDeck: With time, [[spoiler:for Six and Holiday.]]
* SmugSuper: Rex is a mild version of this. Being a teenager with superpowers, it's not exactly surprising.
* SpiderSense: Played for laughs, he gets shivers when Breach is nearby--it's actually very accurate.
** This has [[spoiler:a positive effect ''for Breach'' in the episode "A Brief History Of Time", the shivers make Rex realize that the strange anomaly following Van Kleiss is actually Breach herself.]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance
* SwissArmyHero: Figuratively (Rex's multiple nanite weapons) and literally (He was born in Geneva).
* SuperHero
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: The flashback episode "Promises, Promises" shows that Rex, just prior to joining Providence, somehow built himself into a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever massive, biomechanical monster]] that even ''fighter jets'' couldn't takedown. Doing this wiped his memory. "Assault on Abysus" shows said monster is something he imagined as a kid. [[spoiler:In the finale, his improved powers result in an upgraded version of this giant robot form, and unlike before he's in full control and it doesn't cause him to lose his memories. On the contrary, this time he ''recovers'' all of his lost memories from prior to the start of the series.]]
* SuperPrototype: His nanites are from the first batch created prior to the Event. The only stable batch, in fact.
* TaughtByExperience: By the third season it's apparent that Rex is an asset not only because of his combat and curing abilities but also because of his extensive knowledge of Evo habits and ability to take advantage of them.
* {{Technopath}}: His EVO powers allow him to control machines.
* TenMinuteRetirement: In "The Hunter".
* TookALevelInBadass: In an interesting twist for a western cartoon, even some of the most dangerous members of Rex's RoguesGallery pose less and less of a threat to him as the series goes on. There are exceptions, [[spoiler: But the BigBad Van Kleiss isn't one of them.]]
* TotallyRadical: {{Justified|Trope}}, since he has no memory more than about 18 months back, a lot of what he does may just be what he thinks normal teens do - and he probably learned from television since he's always around adults. No other teen in the series acts remotely like this, either.
* UnwantedHarem: And how! He's garnered the attention of at least ''six'' girls in two seasons, though notably, one is his villain's misguided DarkChick, another is the same villain's other Dark Chick who trapped him in a creepy pocket dimension, and the most normal of the girls is a disaster magnet. Long story short, emphasis on "Harem," extra emphasis for "Unwanted."
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: To a lesser extent, episode five. When outside Providence, he starts stopping random Evo attacks.
* YouFightLikeACow: Rex will ALWAYS come up with a smart-ish remark, no matter the situation. In over two seasons worth of episodes, there are extremely few, possibly only one, times that he doesn't snark. It is in fact confirmed to be an act that he puts on to cope with fear.
