Context WMG / GeneratorRex

Go To

1[[WMG: Generator Rex takes place in the Metal Gear universe, or a variation of said universe]]
2* Doctor Holliday is Naomi, she uses nanites to artificially preserve her life, and keep her youthful.
3* Providence is a finger of the Patriots
4* Six is a clone of Gray Fox in a successful attempt to replicate the perfect soldier projects without the deaths of subjects or expenses of memory wipes.
5* The event was not an accident, it was purposefully staged to bring the war economy closer to non-conflict areas. It was also an attempt to create an organic Metal Gear, because the costs of making one is more than merely growing one.
6* Each EVO is an experimental organic Metal Gear, the designs for each of them are distributed randomly through SOP
7* Van Kleiss is perhaps Vamp, motivated by the loss of his Dead Cell comrades, he has a similar goal to Big Boss towards creating a nation for soldiers.
8* More to come
9** Fun theories. But I think that's more like FanWank than something that would actually be true.
10*** But really, can't the same be said for just about any WMG?
11
12[[WMG: The Sonic Universe is actually a future version of the Generator Rex Universe]]
13Which is why there are talking animals with special powers everywhere. They're [=EVOs=].
14* Robotnik is the last remnant of Providence trying to wipe out [=EVOs=].
15
16[[WMG: Van Kleiss is... ]]
17''The head researcher of the nanite event.'' It keys into his whole "nano-messiah" vibe, he called the head researcher "The Wisest of them all" and him being caught at ground zero of the explosions explains his dramatic(but limited) powers, as well as why he gets a sovereign nation; no country wants a nanite-infested pile of dirt.
18* ''...and/or [[LukeIAmYourFather Rex's dad]]'' Put here solely because Van Kleiss said Rex was there when the [[MassSuperEmpoweringEvent Nanite Event]] happened.
19** ''Alternately, Van Kleiss is Rex's [[CreepyUncle Creepy]] [[EvilUncle Uncle]]'' because, seriously, the sequence where Van Kleiss's multiple robo-tentacles pierce Rex's stomach and drain him of nanites while Rex screams in pain was [[NightmareFuel the rapiest example of cartoon techno-vampirism ever.]]
20** All {{Jossed}}. He wasn't the head researcher or Rex's dad, though the uncle thing is still open.
21* ''Rex's [[CainAndAbel older brother]].'' In "Dark Passage", Dr. Rylander tells Rex he has a brother, and that Rex's powers protected them both from the [[MassSuperEmpoweringEvent Nanite Event]].
22** Strangely enough, they both have red eyes, black hair, and sort of similar skin tones. could be a taller, gaunter Rex if you think about it.
23*** Doubtful. Rex has ''brown'' eyes. And he's Latino.
24** {{Jossed}}.
25** ''Alternately, Van Kleiss is Circe's father.'' Look at their hair and their eyes. They're the exact same!
26** ''Or, perhaps, Breach's father''. It goes along with the theory about the Pack belong. Plus, they both have pale skin and long black hair.
27** Or...
28
29[[WMG: Van Kleiss is ''Rex's excess nanites''. ]]
30Take a look at Rex's PhlebotinumOverload in the BatmanColdOpen of "Frostbite". The [[NightmareFuel nanite tumors are trying to connect themselves to the ground]]. Up until Rex joined Providence and they started siphoning off the extra nanites every month or so, Rex would WalkTheEarth curing [=EVOs=] until he hit capacity, then [[{{Pun}} put down roots]] somewhere and turn it into a [[GeniusLoci mini-Abyssus]]. His amnesia-striken body would struggle free and wander away to continue the cycle before his mind, infused into the dirt, could figure out how to control everything. There may be other Van Kleisseseses out there, or the one we've seen so far may make it a point to track down his "brothers" and assimilate them. As to why Van Kleiss is the BigBad while the current iteration of Rex is a hero, AmnesiacDissonance seems to be canon, at least between the current Rex and the one that hung out with the street rats in "Rabble".
31* {{Jossed}}. He was a minor lab tech before Rex ever got nanites.
32* ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays Zak Saturday]] grown up.'' Zak got turned into Van Kleiss of ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'' by the Nanite Event.
33* Currently actually just a back up copy left in Abyssal. His real self is still in limbo in South America.
34* Not Zak ''Saturday'', but Zak ''Monday''. The nanites brought him back from the dead, and reconstructed him to look more like Zak Saturday. Zak and the other Secret Scientists got stuck in Kiev and went EVO, or they would already have a cure for the nanites.
35
36[[WMG: Van Kleiss was affiliated with The Pack, pre-Nanite Explosion.]]
37He's "eaten" every other nanite infested being that's worked with him before but keeps those three[[note]]maybe four, depending on if we're still counting Circe despite her clearly not being a field agent[[/note]] around. With Circe, he's just keeping her around to get close to Rex. With the other three, possibly related/previous work affiliates?
38* Maybe Biowulf and Skalamander were a couple of the other scientists.
39** This does seem to be the case, given how he acted in episode 9. Whether he was part of the project or one of the people funding it, is yet to be seen.
40** Even more likely, now that Caesar has revealed more backstory. There were three scientists who wanted to weaponize the nanites back before The Accident, who were always left in shadow- probably them.
41*** If Van Kleiss is to believed, [[spoiler: those three scientists may have been Caesar and his parents.]]
42* Biowulf and Skalamander are ''Rex and Cesar's parents''. Which is which is hard to tell at this point, but it is amusing to think of Biowulf being Mrs. Salazar with the lack of anything maternal in 'Wulf's manner. Of course they'd be amnesiac from their mutations since Biowulf [[spoiler: threw her de-powered son out of an flying vehicle in one episode]].
43
44[[WMG: Rex is...]]
45''A [[IAmWho formerly dangerous and/or evil EVO]].'' Rex refers to himself as "So secret, they have to keep me locked up", and White Knight hints at [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness unsavory alternatives]] if they don't keep him under control. Rex doesn't seem to realize it, but this implies that Providence knows more about Rex than they're telling. Perhaps Rex went on a rampage, and Providence captured him. Through experimentation, they discovered Rex's healing abilities, then wiped his memory so he'd be more cooperative when they trained him to be a TykeBomb.
46* As of "Promises, Promises", the "formerly dangerous and evil EVO" part has been confirmed. His [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Superpowered Evil]] HumongousMecha [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Side]] fell apart after one battle with Providence, and [[LaserGuidedAmnesia amnesia-stricken]] Rex stumbled out of the debris.
47 * ''Alternately/Relatedly: Rex is a TykeBomb creation of Van Kleiss and or Providence, the unwitting PatientZero and [[TyphoidMary trigger]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction of the nanite event]], and possibly even Van Kleiss's biological son.'' Combining a bunch of the above and below theories: Van Kleiss was a scientist with Providence or it's direct rival. He injected a specially chosen or genetically engineered child, either his clone or biological son, with the nanites, as part of an experiment. Things either went horribly wrong, or horribly right, and now Providence may be using their own progeny to set right what once went wrong.
48** This may tie into Rex's name. If he was the first viable host/growth medium for replicatable nanites, his designation might've been ''Generator X.''
49*** Maybe Generators IX, VIII, VII, and so on are out there somewhere
50** Jossed. He predates Providence, and Van Kleiss was evidently a nobody before the accident.
51*** But does he predate the Nanite Experiment? The Age Gap between Rex and Cesar seems large, if Cesar can just pop out of the timestream for 5 years and still come back older than Rex.
52* ''A mutant.'' His ability to control machines isn't the result of his nanites, its a genetic mutation that allows him to control them. That's why his nanite constructs break down when his emotions do, even though other [=EVOs=] don't seem to have that problem.
53** Rex might not be an EVO, his nanites could still be dormant, he is just controlling them with his powers.
54** [[TakeAThirdOption Alternatively,]] Rex and Van Kleiss, or rather, the real Rex and Van Kleiss were both killed during the event, and reanimated by the nanites. Rex was already infected before the event, and Van Kleiss somehow caused the event, which exposed him to the version 2 nanites. Most of Rex's brain and body were fried, and so the "nanite Rex" can only recall a few residual memories of the original. Considering what happened to a character with a [[VideoGame/{{Prototype}} similar powerset]] to Rex's...
55* Rex is a creation of the scientists he considers his parents and Cesar. In that way, they really are his parents.
56
57[[WMG: Eventually, Rex will..]]
58''...be able to transform into a full-on HumongousMecha.'' He's already got the giant hands and feet, plus he absorbs even more nanites from all the Evo monsters he beats. And, of course, ''[[RuleOfCool it would be awesome!]]''
59* Confirmed! Seen in a flashback in "Promises, Promises". However, it seems to be a SuperpoweredEvilSide, possibly brought about by untreated PhlebotinumOverload. [[WMG/PoisonOakEpilepticTrees If it happens again, it will likely NOT be awesome.]]
60* ''Related Theory: Rex will be able to [[MegaManning Mega Man]].'' He absorbs Nanites, so it's probably going to happen at some point.
61** Possibly leading to the above HumongousMecha guess?
62*** Jossed, at least for now. Stated directly, in the preview for episode 6, in which he can't take on any more nanites, or he'll suffer some sort of catastrophic overload.
63*** Whose to say he won't try to overcome this? His abilities and obvious critical ties to the "Event" make him probably the most powerful being on earth, so it's very well posssible he'll hone his absorbing abilities to do even greater feats.
64* Rex has [[spoiler:some new uber-Nanite]] now; probably some new programs/powers in there.
65* ''Related Theory: Rex will be able to to create new [=EVO=]s'' by [[ReversePolarity reversing the polarity of his]] [[PowerNullifier "shutting them down" power]].
66* Jossed [[spoiler: But only by half. Doesn't this sound more like something Van Kleiss would do?]]
67
68[[WMG: Agent Six's parents died in the Nanite Explosion.]]
69That's why he's so distant.
70* Alternately, his ''wife'' died in the Nanite Event.
71* He just [[WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko ''doesn't like to talk about it (the past).]]
72* Or...
73
74[[WMG: Agent Six will soon turn into an incredibly powerful EVO, ]]
75Forcing Rex to kill him. It would make a good season finale.
76
77[[WMG: Agent Six started wearing suits when started going out on missions with Rex]]
78So Providence didn't seem so violent or war-mongering
79
80[[WMG: Sometime in Season 2, a true EVO Civil Rights group will make itself known]]
81* A real ZombieAdvocate Type. Not the weird version Van Kleiss is trying to pass himself off as.
82* They will demand that the Bug Jar be opened.
83** Or No-Face from the Bug Jar got out and is actually leading them.
84* Semi-Comfirmed: [[spoiler: The Green Thumb, which appears "Outpost"]]
85*** The Bug Jar was wiped out by Alpha in the {{crossover}} episode with ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''.
86
87[[WMG: Circe's powers are what attracts Rex to her.]]
88It just so happens that Circe likes him back.
89** Van Kleiss will use this to turn Rex against Circe, especially post the events of ''Alliance''.
90
91[[WMG: Circe will become another BigBad.]]
92Her powers will eventually let her control [=EVOs=], and she'll be a bigger threat than Van Kleiss because Rex likes her, and she's not tied down to any specific locale.
93
94[[WMG: White Knight is...]]
95* ''The primary backer/corporate supervisor of the research that lead to the Nanite Explosion.'' If he's not an astronaut, he must have known or been paranoid enough about the work the scientists under him were doing to be CrazyPrepared for a worst case scenario that, in fact, came to pass.
96* ''The very first person Rex cured.'' I have no idea how this could work, but it'd add a certain layer to their dynamic.
97** Partly confirmed. He's not the first, but Rex is responsible for White Knight losing his nanites.
98
99[[WMG: ZAG-RS will return.]]
100* It's headed to find someone who it knows hates Rex: Van Kleiss. Eventually, though, it will try again to destroy all nanites worldwide, forcing Rex and Van Kleiss to [[EnemyMine work together to stop it.]]
101** How's Rex supposed to warn Providence about ZAG-RS without revealing the secret of the [[HiddenElfVillage Hidden Engineer Village]]?
102* What if ZAG-RS contacts ''White Knight''? And tells him it can destroy all nanites, without mentioning the "it will kill every living thing on Earth" part?
103** Worse, what if ZAG-RS busts out and contacts Hunter Cain? He doesn't even believe that Nanites are in everything.
104*** Rex made the point that he would expose the village for the good of the planet.
105** And ZAG-RS is an ''evil'' AI; what's to stop it from lying, or at least witholding parts of the truth?
106** This is confirmed to have happened in the episode ''Gravity''. Of course it's unknown if Rex was successful this time in stopping the crazed AI or not.
107
108[[WMG: ZAG-RS was originally a Providence Project]]
109It got discontinued when it developed a mind of its own.
110* That's why White didn't sound too surprised to hear that something like it existed.
111* Who else could have made it?
112** As it turns out, [[spoiler: Caesar.]]
113
114[[WMG: Breach has a crush on Rex.]]
115* She was crazy and delusional enough to believe that once she showed Rex her dollhouse, he'd fall in love with her and gladly be her boyfriend/plaything. For no reason other then this WMG makes the episode "Breach" ''that much creepier.''
116** Also, one of the reasons she acted independently (other then the fact that Van Kleiss would most likely disapprove) was because she was jealous of Circe and wanted to piss her off. (The next sentence is spoilered to protect tropers from the possible need for BrainBleach.) [[spoiler: After she escaped Providence and got Rex to love her by any means nessacary, she planned to sneak into Circe's room while she was sleeping, stand over her bed and stare intently at her face until she woke up, then whisper menacingly "I hit that."]]
117*** ...With her arms? '''ALL FOUR OF THEM!?'''
118** (The next sentence, while spoilered to avoid spoiling the previous entry, will [[NightmareRetardant hopefully remove]] aforementioned need for BrainBleach.) [[spoiler: [[CovertPervert Deep down,]] a part of Breach was hoping that Circe would smile and say [[LesYay "Well, why don't you hit the other half?"]] And then they'd make out while [[{{Sexophone}} Skalamander played saxophone in the background.]]]]
119*** [[VideoGame/FearEffect And then the security guard on the other end of the camera sees what's happening]]...
120*** Four arms, two of which are giant, [[PowerPerversionPotential would certainly make for an interesting time]].
121*** ...ow, I just got MoodWhiplash.
122
123[[WMG: The old guy in the first episode was taking a shower.]]
124* Think about it. He's the only EVO so far to ''not'' have MagicPants; other than possibly being a nudist, which isn't ''too'' likely in such an urban area, there are very few reasons to be naked in the middle of the day. ''Ergo'', he may have been showering when his nanites went nutso.
125
126[[WMG: Rex is wearing the same outfit as he was five years ago in the hopes that someone will recognize him]]
127Because, come on, even Six changes outfits every five years.
128
129[[WMG: Six is blind.]]
130* Hence his SunglassesAtNight, but he has a few active Nanites that [[DisabilitySuperpower enhance his other senses]] to the point that it doesn't matter.
131** That's a rather interesing theory. Though we'll have to wait and see if he indeed has a reason for hiding his eyes. It's possible he's got a ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} thing going on.
132*** If he's blind, he's not compensating with nanite powers, since it's been proven that he's not an EVO. He may just be a HandicappedBadass though.
133*** Or, maybe he's blind and his sunglasses are a high-tech device that lets him see!
134*** Jossed. He takes his sunglasses off in Divide by Six. They're perfectly normal sunglasses, and he has perfectly normal eyes.
135*** This makes him more badass than he was before.
136
137[[WMG: The School in "Breach" is actually an insane asylum...where Breach grew up.]]
138* In the early parts of the episode when Rex is asking Holiday where the hell he is, Breach said "its a school...but its not a school...but its a school". Now, one would think she's referring to the school being her creepy psycho dollhouse, but when it shown the whole town is in her pocket dimension, it doesn't really make sense. And why Greenville, Ohio, out of every place in the U.S. (other than the fact that Ohio is just plain freaky). The realization for this troper came when he remembered how in one work of media there was a quote of someone saying "they sent me away to schools, and hospitals disguised as schools", etc. Its possibly that Breach was already looney before she got infected with nanites (think about it tropers, it is possible for any criminal or serial killer in the world to "pop" in the world of ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex''), sent to the BoardingSchoolOfHorrors which was actually an juvenile insane asylum (Hey, is there a trope for that, because I've seen it many times already). When she got her powers, Bleach took the entire town because it was the closest thing to "home" she's ever had.
139
140
141[[WMG: The injection...]]
142* ...Contains a blueprint of the original, stable nanites and all of Dr. Rylander's research. Hence that infuriatingly cryptic comment about "Everything". As Rex gets more attuned with his nanites, he'll be able to read it -- and then he'll ''know'' everything. [[UnreliableNarrator Or at least Rylander's take on it.]]
143** ''...Is a treatment for Rex's recurring amnesia.'' Either to prevent it from happening again or to restore all of his memories.
144** Will convert all nanites Rex come in contact with into his stable variant. Note how Rylander was obsessed not with eliminating the nanites, but with ''fixing'' them. Presumably there's a trigger of some sort; either a place, a phrase, or a certain concentration of nanites absorbed by Rex.
145
146[[WMG: Rex's Brother...]]
147* ...Will be the next big bad after Van Kleiss is taken care of [[spoiler: If he's not taken care of now]]. Possible rage of jealousy of his brother being pumped full of "good" nanites?
148* It will most likely be either someone we already know in the story, or else someone introduced as an independant character before TheReveal. Shows [[LukeIAmYourFather love this]] [[LukeYouAreMyFather kind of drama]].
149** Maybe Rex's brother is Van Kleiss.
150** Or Noah. Contradicts some WMG's on this page, but adds to other ones. It's an idea...
151** OR Rex's brother is Circe afterall the nano changes could manifest in all [[GenderBender sorts]] of ways, not to mention how amusing Rex's reaction would be. don't look at me that way this is WILD mass guessing
152** Or Biowulf.
153* All {{Jossed}}. The brother, Caesar, was one of the scientists, previously absent from the setting due to relativistic time dilation of his fast-moving lab-escape pod, and is a kooky-but-kind positive figure.
154** Really? He struck me more as a CloudCuckoolander with a bit of a ruthless streak, and very protective of Rex.
155** Actually, it isn't jossed just yet. Caesar might just end up being the next BigBad...
156
157[[WMG: Rylander is Noah's father.]]
158[[http://img13.imageshack.us/i/scan1mv.jpg/ They look quite similar]]. In ''Dark Passage'' we are told that Rylander had *a wife and a young son, but after it was proved the son wasn't Rex, this was never brought up. It would also explain why Noah is so desperate to win the war: he wants to erase his father's mistakes.
159** Wouldn't White Knight have done some sort of background check?
160** Maybe that's part of the deal. Noah wants to forget about the whole thing, and he asked White Knight to lie about his identity. In return, he would befriend Rex.
161** I think we can joss this theory, as episode 11 ''Operation: Wingman'' showed Noah in what appears to be his own house, and nothing seems to suggest he's alone.
162** If I remember correct, he could still be living with his mom. So it's still a possible theory.
163*** Plus, his concern for a scholarship (in "Rampage") implies financial problems, which seems more like a problem for a household with only one income generator than two.
164** If this WMG is correct (keyword, '''if'''), it may be possible then that Nixon is Noah's mother's maiden name.
165
166[[WMG: Rylander is Rex's father.]]
167* His exact words were: "I'm not who you want me to be", that is not the same as "I'm not your father", in fact almost sounds like he is running away out of guilt. And it's completely possible that he was lying to Rex when he said he didn't know about his dad.
168** Somewhat supported by the fact that he ''he named Rex''.
169*** Maybe Rex and his brother were homeless kids. That's why Rylander got to name Rex, and why he became Patient Zero, because who's going to miss a couple of sick, homeless children?
170* {{Jossed}} by Caesar, Rex's brother.
171
172[[WMG: Dr. Holiday's sister ''likes'' being an EVO.]]
173* Alright, lets review the facts, shall we. Rex can cure any EVO that wants to be cured. If an EVO does not want to be cured, then it can block Rex. If Dr. Holiday's sister had become so far gone that she had lost her mind, it would make sense for Rex to be able to cure her. But if Dr. Holiday's sister still had enough of her mind left, and for some reason liked being an EVO (This troper has no idea why, maybe she's on the borderline between sane and off the deep end or something. Though it was kind of odd how smart Holiday's sister was as a supposedly non-sapient EVO, and how she didn't harm any of her victims). Because she doesn't want to be cured, Rex can't cure her, and because she can't talk, they have no way of telling that she wants to be that way, and so would think she was 'incurable'.
174** Jossed [[spoiler: She's cured in "A Family Holiday" and appears to be happy that she's normal again.]]
175
176[[WMG: All [=EVOs=] retain their original personalities]]
177* The Pack and Rex aren't anomalies because they stay in control, they're anomalies because their transformations don't hurt. Most of the [=EVOs=] of the week are in painful transformations that cloud their entire sense of reason.
178** Or, remember how Rex couldn't control himself when he overloaded with nanites? Maybe The 'insane' [=EVOs=] just had too many nanites activate all at once.
179*** Meaning the key isn't how smart you are, or how strong your personality is, just how many nanites activated.
180*** Does that mean that, if Rex took away just enough Nanites, they would be like Skalamander and Biowolf?
181
182[[WMG:Rylander and Van Kleiss were [[NightmareFuel converted into more Nanites]].]]
183The generator was a nanite conversion chamber, which converts any matter inserted into the doorway.
184** A really interesting way to bring Van Kleiss back would be to have those Nanites fly over Abysus and reform him.
185*** That be pretty neat, and certainly would make killing him harder if it became a new ability of his.
186
187[[WMG: Agent Six is [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Nigel Uno]].]]
188* Both of them are the stoic OnlySaneMan of their teams, have number-based names, and their trademak SunglassesAtNight. ''It makes sense!''
189** Except Nigel in permanently bald...
190*** The hair is actually a tattoo done by a really good artist.
191*** Or the Nanites did it.
192*** Or he discovered Rogaine somewhere along the path to adulthood.
193
194[[WMG: The show takes place in the same universe as the game Jak and daxter]]
195* Both nanites and Dark eco share an ability to warp and mutate.Only one can control it.
196** So everyone eventually turned into elves and Ottsels?
197
198[[WMG: Peter Meechum has valuable information.]]
199* At the end of the second episode, Six comments that eventually Meechum will talk about what Van Kleiss wanted with him. Meechum hasn't been discussed since that episode. Whatever he knows, it is vital to Kleiss's EvilPlan and it will be revealed soon before Kleiss reaches that critical point in his plan.
200* [[spoiler: Confirmed. He's one of the scientists from the original Nanite Event. How he survived isn't stated, but give the age of his daughter its entirely possible he was on paternity leave (up to two years isn't unheard of in Europe)]]
201
202[[WMG: Each of the Pack were designed to correspond to a mythical monster.]]
203More of a meta-WMG than an in-story one, but still, think about it:
204** Van Kleiss=vampire
205** Biowulf=werewolf
206** Skalamander=dragon
207** Circe=siren
208The only one who doesn't fit the pattern is Breach.
209* Her pale complexion and malnourished appearance could suggest a zombie.
210** Or, given her schoolgirl looks, she's based off a Japanese spirit. [[StringyHairedGhostGirl An onryo]], to be more specific.
211** Skalamander is more of a LizardMan to me.
212
213[[WMG: White Knight will turn into an EVO, as a sort of KarmicTransformation...]]
214...[[DeathByIrony And then die by what he created to destroy every last one of the nanites]].
215
216[[WMG: Annie will become Rex's second love interest]]
217* Rex said she was cute and nice. More than once.
218** Not only that, at the end of the Wingman episode, after a little aruging, Rex implied he would go out with Annie if Noah asked Claire out again.
219** Certainly would make for an interesting LoveTriangle if Circe came into the picture again while Rex is seen with Annie.
220** Or what if it was BREACH who came back instead?
221** Alternatively Rex will start spending more time with Annie, Breach will come back and be locked up at Providence where Rex will occasionally visit her, and Cricket will join Providence to be closer to Rex. And THEN Circe will come back.
222** OR Breach will get to him first, get rid of Circe through a portal, and grudgingly share with Cricket, who seems nice enough. All doing this while Van Kleiss and Quarry plan their evil schemes.
223*** There's also Green Fist Girl to compete with now. I think it has the DatingCatwoman elements, but less with the mortal enemies bit, more with the dating.
224
225[[WMG: Hunter Cain lost his family to [=EVOs=]...]]
226* And one of them may be either in the Pack or a character we haven't seen yet.
227** The episode was released on Website/YouTube and it is said that Cain had a wife, but she turned EVO.
228
229[[WMG: Hunter Cain lost his family when they went EVO and he had to kill them.]]
230* It's why he doesn't trust Providence or Rex, when his family went EVO, they weren't there and he had to kill them.
231** He had a wife, as said above, but she turned EVO. It was never said if he killed her himself. But this could contribute to his distrust for Providence, because he said to Rex, "You push hope when there isn't any."
232** It also explains why he refuses to admit that [=EVOs=] can be cured, he's trying to convince himself that killing her was the only thing that could be done and there was no other option or chance she would be saved.
233
234[[WMG: Annie is an EVO]]
235* Her nanites project some sort of energy field around her that distorts probability, causing her to be a walking bad luck charm. Unfortunately, she can't turn it ''off'', and probably doesn't even realize what's going on.
236** This troper can't be the only one who thought that SHE was the bunny, and changed when angered. Then of course, I'm sure many imagined Rex giving her one it's feet for ''good luck''.
237
238
239[[WMG: Rex's powers change every time he blacks out]]
240* In ''Rabble'' its mentioned that Rex wasn't able to use any of his {{Shapeshifter Weapon}}s when he was with the other [=EVOs=] the last time. And seeing that the people who made ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'' made [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}} another]] [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce series]] with a chronic case of NewPowersAsThePlotDemands, it seems like this might happen to ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'' as well.
241
242[[WMG: Rex's brother is the cause of his blackouts]]
243* Basically, its possible that something ''[[NoodleIncident really bad]]'' happened to Rex's brother before the series began, turning him into an EVO and possibly a future BigBad. As Rex tries to unearth his past after each successive memory loss, he finds out about his brother, tracks him down, and BAM! Right back to square one.
244** Being trapped at Ground Zero during the [[MassSuperEmpoweringEvent Nanite Event]] [[SharingABody fused Rex and his brother into one body]]. Their shared brain can't retain two sets of memories, so whenever one of them takes control, the other one loses their memories and "goes to sleep" until the next time they switch.
245*** Wouldn't that mean his brother is evil, since he would have sold out the group in "Rabble?"
246*** Yes.
247*** This just blew my mind.
248* All {{Jossed}}. Rex's brother has been in relativistic time-dilation since The Incident, and only 15 minutes of busy hotwiring have passed for him- he isn't responsible for any of what has happened since the initial event.
249
250[[WMG: Evo mutations are "contagious"]]
251* When a person (or animal/plant/whatever) "pops", the newly activated nanites within their body immediately search for other active nanites, which, unfortunately, are only found in large numbers in [=EVOs=]. If an existing EVO is within range, that's set as "normal" and the body is modified to that form. If there isn't an EVO in range, the mutations made using data from the trace amounts of active environmental nanites.
252** Wait, in that case wouldn't Hunter Cain [[TheExtremistWasRight be right?]]
253*** Check the part about "trace amounts of active environmental nanites". If this theory's right, the safest thing for everyone is to hang out with [=EVOs=] who kept their minds, and hope the relevant code gets passed on if you "pop". Er, no, wait, the safest thing is to carry a blood sample from a sane EVO, or anything carrying their active nanites in a form that newly activated nanites can access.
254
255
256[[WMG: PhlebotinumOverload is the cause of Rex's amnesia.]]
257* Think about it. According to the EVO street rats, he was able to [[PowerNullifier cure [=EVOs=]]] even back then. But we know from the episode "Frostbite" that this involves absorbing an [=EVO's=] active nanites, and if he absorbs too many, BodyHorror happens. Providence treats him by removing the extra nanites, but what happened before he joined Providence?
258** See the 'Van Kleiss is Rex's Excess nanites' WMG
259** His powers would go out of control and he would turn into a biomechancal HumongousMecha.
260
261[[WMG: Hunter Cane will pull a HeelFaceTurn]]
262* He'll go EVO, and Rex will save him. There are none so fanatical as a new convert.
263** Or, His wife, who is being detained by Providence as an Uncurable, can be cured by Rex's new SuperNanite.
264
265[[WMG: When Rylander and Van Kleiss inevitably reappear, they will have been fused into a single entity]]
266The part that is Rylander will then commit [[SuicideByCop suicide by Rex]].
267* So far, seems to be {{Jossed}}.
268** But what if being fused with Rylander was [[FridgeBrilliance what ''changed'' Van Kleiss' nanites?]]
269*** {{Jossed}}, since Rylander ended up getting brought back separately from Van Kleiss.
270
271[[WMG: ZAG-RS is the one who gave Hunter Cane his weapons.]]
272* The episode with Cane actually takes place sometime after Gravity. Because of the damage she suffered in the previous episode, ZAG is unable to be a serious threat on her own, so she gave Hunter the blueprints to creat the EVO killing weapons (which seem similar to what ZAG was planning with the nanite suppressent in ''Gravity'') and sent him out to do her dirty work. Eventually, ZAG would have betrayed Hunter, revealing that he was indeed infected with Nanites and would have to die.
273
274[[WMG: Van Kleiss is going to cause another Nanite Event in an attempt to get his powers back]]
275* We know he has connections to the first one, after all, and he ''did'' say that now he'd be using his intellect, calling it his "most dangerous weapon". What could be mroe intellectual than developing a new nanite strain?
276
277
278[[WMG: Van Kleiss' true power is...]]
279* He's the lead singer of ''Orange'', the band that made the show's themesong. Once he reunites with his band, their song will bring the world to its knees....
280
281[[WMG: Circe is a Providence agent.]]
282* She's a ''really'' good spy, sent by White Knight to gather intel on Van Kleiss. Catching Rex's attention was just a bonus. [[note]]An upcoming episode, ''Turn Around'', may be her pseudo-HeelFaceTurn point.[[/note]]
283** Oh boy, if that's the case, Rex is either going to have a major HeroicBSOD or do something really stupid to blow her cover if found out and tried to contact her.
284
285[[WMG: Providence contracts go to the lowest bidder.]]
286* Every piece of technology used by Providence(guns, airships, space elevators, power armor, robots, buildings, nuclear weapons) looks like it's made out of cheap plastic. Either the economy is far worse after the nanite incident or White Knight keeps an iron fist on the purse strings.
287** Because it's TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, everything looks like an iPod. Except the the animation style of GenRex makes it look like plastic instead of metal.
288** Supported by Caesar, who comments that the console in their main ship is made by a company that does good work, but its stuff is known to overload and explode.
289
290[[WMG: Rex will use the knife Six gave him for his birthday to stab Van Kleiss.]]
291* Seriously, what use is he gonna use a knife with sentimental value for?
292** ...cutting Holiday's cake?
293*** ''Trying'' to cut Holiday's cake. For all we know it snapped on the attempt.
294** See the "Agent Six will soon turn into an incredibly powerful EVO, forcing Rex to kill him" WMG above.
295*** As a sidenote, Six is supposed to kill Rex if He becomes insane, right? Maybe Six is supposed to kill himself right after he's killed Rex?
296
297[[WMG: Providence was a PMC group before the event.]]
298* It would explain why they didn't have any established ties and were just swooping in and snatching up [=EVOs=]. Knight was the leader, but allowed for the scientists and Dr. Fell to carry on whatever research they wanted. But as seen in "Promises, Promises", we know that there was a big regime change.
299
300[[WMG: Dr. Fell will return...]]
301* And be working with ZAG-RS, and possibly even Hunter Kain. They'll form a competitor to Providence, and lead a campaign that will have Rex and the others scrambling worse than when Kain was on the loose. ZAG will remain their little secret, much like Rex was for Providence, and obviously plot the destruction of everyone, including her two 'collaboraters'.
302** Alternatively, Fell could be the one who designed Kain's weaponry as a means of getting back for getting the boot.
303
304[[WMG: Bobo is actually a man]]
305* Turning EVO gave him fur and opposable toes. He just poses as a talking chimp to escape any responsibility.
306** [[Literature/{{Discworld}} The Librarian]]?
307** Jossed. Robobobo reveals that Bobo was a Chimp before and after going EVO.
308*** Rex still sounds unconvinced by his alleged origin story.
309
310[[WMG: Gatlock was working for Van Kleiss]]
311* Considering that he seemed interested in the nanites for their monetary value, and considering who's in the market for active nanintes, it seems quite possible.
312** Certainly a possibility. Though it'd be pretty funny if they turn out to be related. I mean, both basically had similar powers (mechanical arms), only Lock could make both arms change, and may not have regenerative powers like Van Kleiss used to.
313
314[[WMG: Gatlocke and Van Kleiss are related by blood in some way]]
315* They both seem to have British accents. Besides, he could have been doing favors for him, such as getting those nanites. And since when do you see more than one British villain in the same show that isn't related with someone?
316
317[[WMG: Gatlocke is Rex's brother]]
318Suggested for the following reasons:
319* Rex is known to have a brother that he saved with his powers. Possibly some nanites transferred over in the process?
320* Both Gatlocke and Rex have the ability to generate machines out of their bodies at will, while almost all other EVO mutations are BodyHorror based.
321* What better way to hide a plot critical character than disguising them as a [[MonsterOfTheWeek one shot villain]] in a filler episode?
322* To this Troper, it seemed more like Gatlocke was a cyborg with artificial arms, especially since he couldn't repair the hand Rex tore off. That's also why I think he made the comment 'I've got EVO-envy!' as in, he would like to be an EVO, but isn't. Gatlocke is one of my favorite characters in recent media, though.
323* {{Jossed}}.
324
325[[WMG: Abysus is the location of the original nanite event.]]
326Thus explaining the nanite infused soil. Van Kleiss was at ground zero because....well, pick a WMG connecting Van Kliess to Rex's past.
327* Pretty sure Van Kleiss said so in the ''first episode''.
328** I though the location of The Event was in South America? Where the rest of the research facility was?
329* Confirmed. The research facility was in Abysus; the lab in South America was evidently a newer sublab Rylander set up after escaping.
330
331[[WMG: Breach is a human Gellert Generator]]
332Those are actually portals into the Immaterium she's creating, and she is able to hold a whole town stable in the Warp. Of course constantly jumping in and out of the Immaterium has made her completley Barmy.
333
334[[WMG: White Knight is compromised somehow]]
335Had he finished stomping around Biowulf and the other EVO before Rex cut the power to everything in the season finale?
336* His suit power supply is presumably internalized and is definitely insulated against nanites. Rex's shutdown wouldn't hamper his performance.
337
338[[WMG: Breach knows that she is both fictional and the show's EnsembleDarkhorse]]
339She was sent to our world when she blew up and saw how unhappy she made the fans by leaving so she found a way to come back. Knowing people love her because she has little screen time, she is careful not to draw too much attention.
340
341[[WMG: At some point in the series, we will meet Five]]
342Soon afterwards, Six will have to change his name.
343* Bravo sir, for saying what no one else had the guts to say.
344** I don't get it...
345* The next episode, "Divided by Six", is supposedly about [[spoiler:Agents Five ''through One'' going EVO.]]
346** They met Five, IV, Trei, Dos, and (technically) One. So...confirmed?
347
348[[WMG: Six's name is really Six]]
349As in, it's not a code name. He's French or German. (There are around 50 Families in the US with the surname 'Six'. The surnames Two, Eight, and Ten also exist, btw)
350* The 'sixth deadliest man in the world' was just a rumor made by Bobo.
351** A false one, because everyone knows he's number one.
352** Apparently Six IS the sixth deadliest man in the world. However, deadliest isn't the same as most skilled...
353*** Hey, that's true enough. It takes a lot of training (often years; months if you're some sort of prodigy) to master sword techniques, but using it is only as deadly as the extent of the sword wielder's reach. Firearms can wreak much more death and destruction over a much wider area, but one can attain basic proficiency with them in weeks (for example, the US Army Basic Combat Training is nine weeks) or even ''days.''
354*** Deadliness probably also encompasses not just the ability to kill, but the ''willingness'' to do so. Six seems to have more restraint than many of his brothers-in-arms when it comes to the use of lethal force
355
356[[WMG: White Knight's accident not only bleached his skin and hair...]]
357... but also his mind, riding him of most of his emotions and making him a being of almost pure logic and rational thoughts. Which is actually a bad and a good thing, bad because it means he can't relate to the people under his command and has a tendency to alienate them, but good because it rid him of his hatred of [=EVOs=], which enabled him to see the potential in Rex's power : added to his unique situation of being completely nanite-free, Rex's power to cure [=EVOs=] enabled Providence to receive funding and the trust of the rest of the world as an organization that could really solve the nanite problem.
358* This is actually a very credible theory. Bravo for putting it up. For any who would accuse White Knight of FantasticRacism remember that he only ever said he didn't ''trust'' anything with nanites, he never said he ''hated'' them. And not trusting [[OurMonstersAreDifferent anyone]] with [[BodyHorror nanites]] is a very sensible and logical practice, when you remember they could turn at any minute.
359** Would be more plausible if he didn't keep throwing the word 'Freak' around.
360*** And that this makes the least sense of any WMG i've read recently
361* I'm gonna have to call StrawVulcan here. Logic and rationality don't work that way. There have been many instances of him showing irrational behavior, nor does being purely "logical or rational" render one incapable of understanding emotion or basic social convention. In fact, his alienation of his subordinates actually proves that he's behaving irrationally. What you've described is a lack of ''empathy,'' which is independent of rationality. Many serial killers, sociopaths with a proven lack of empathy, manage to avoid detection for so long because they were rational enough to analyze and understand basic social protocol and human emotions, and react appropriately to them even if they didn't truly empathize. Many of them were even described by neighbors are friendly and charming. Contrast White Knight's behavior where he has -- time and again -- pigheadedly acted in a way that only caused Rex to rebel further, even though the ''rational'' option would be to try and reason with Rex instead of bludgeoning him with authority since even a cursory analysis of all of Rex's previous behavior should clearly indicate that he responds better when he's allowed some leeway than when he's held on a tight leash.
362** Alright, I will accept the charges of Straw Vulcan and admit I spoke of things I didn't really know about. However, I would like to maintain the core of my WMG : that accident did something to the Knight's mind. Took out part of his emotional side, made him extremely 'cold', made him near incapable of empathy. If you've played the video game The Longest Journey, I base the whole thing on the character of [[spoiler:Gordon Haloway : bleached skin and hair, cold as ice, rid of his emotions by magic]].
363
364[[WMG: Breach Will HeelFaceTurn]]
365A guy can dream.
366
367Honestly, nobody would bat an eye if Breach got some ultra-sympathetic backstory, and with such sympathy, comes a much greater chance for redemption. Taking into account her EnsembleDarkhorse status and the fact that this is a kid's show, its a lot less likely that redemption would happen in the [[RedemptionEqualsDeath traditional fashion]]
368
369
370[[WMG: ZAG-RS and Knight will become a couple]]
371Are you disturbed yet?
372
373
374[[WMG: The Bunny Rabbit EVO from Project WINGMAN really ''is'' Rex's ArchNemesis.]]
375[[SuperPersistentPredator That bunny]] is one of Rex's old enemies, with [[AnimalNemesis a rivalry that goes back years]]. [[UnknownRival Rex doesn't always remember thanks to his black outs.]] It's been dogging him since almost directly after the Nanite Event. That's why it stalked him everywhere and knew just how to fight him. Every few months, they cross paths and fight till one ends up in a situation where NoOneCouldSurviveThat if Rex remembers or not. In fact, the first entry in his old pocket video journal was something along the lines of "Look out for the bunny."
376** [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Like Peter and the Giant Chicken]]? Maybe it started out as small rabbit he tried to hunt in the slums of Hong Kong that went EVO?
377** Whoa, this actually ended up semi-confirmed. It's a ''family'' of giant evil rabbits instead of a single individual, but yeah.
378
379[[WMG: Skalamander's whole fammly whent evo and he's the "lucky" one.]]
380They are all mindless horrers expect for him. Way, it would be a cool twist.
381
382[[WMG: Skalamander is a girl.]]
383
384[[WMG: Dead Space takes place in the far future of Generator Rex.]]
385
386It wasn't DNA on the Marker, but nanites. Providence discovered, and sealed up the Marker, then destroyed all records of its existence after discovering they didn't have the technology to destroy it.
387
388[[WMG:Nanites act as a a JackassGenie in a way.]]
389
390 They for the most part give the affected person a twisted version of what they want when they were infected. Here are theories as to what I think their wish is
391* Rex = Wanted to escape guilt from somthing
392* Van Kleiss/ No face = Become a leader
393* Breach = Wanted to travel
394* Circe = To be a singer and attract boys
395* Noah = Wanted to be be free to have fun when he wanted
396* Random beasts = to not be hunted by predators
397* Purple guy in a suit = He was a glutton
398
399[[WMG: Tuck, Cricket and Sqwydd were partially inspired by [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Team 8.]] ]]
400
401My only reasons for this is that both Cricket and Hinata are [[ShrinkingViolet Shrinking Violets]] with feelings for the main characters and Man Of Action shows have had many Manga/{{Naruto}} references before.
402
403[[WMG: White Knight is a Time Lord]]
404It's not a WMG page without at least one of these. His TARDIS has been damaged by nanites, and that's why we don't see it. The entire series is [[ThePlan his plan]] to get the tools necessary to fix it. Alternately, Breach is Haruhi Suzumiya with a bad case of AxCrazy.
405
406[[WMG: Six is a Cyborg]]
407First and foremost, his name is a number. This is normally indicative of an android or mechanical being. Also, he is shown as being by far the most powerful human on screen, going far beyond the established limits of other characters. And to add fuel to the proverbial fire, Serge said his name was that of a machine. And Rex's/Six's immediate redirection of the conversation indicates some foreshadowing just went down.
408* Six's handle is because he is the sixth most deadly person in the world, which is also due to his insane physical abilities. Also, Serge was referring to Six's stoic nature and the fact that he followed orders without thinking for himself, as a machine would.
409** But he does think for himself before following orders
410** Not as far as Serge knew. He only knew Six for a few minutes, which were spent by Six considering how to best destroy Serge's home basically.
411* {{Jossed}}, at least as far as Rex knew, who commented in "Waste Land" when Six tells him that this Sea-Urchin would have killed a normal Person, 'You know WAY too much about stuff that can kill you, Six.'
412* {{Jossed}}. Six reveals in "Divide By Six" that [[spoiler: One took him in as a child, which is why he's so loyal.]]
413
414[[WMG: Circe's figure is part of her powers.]]
415She used to be fat, ugly, or she had some other physical problem. Then she became an EVO, [[SuperpowerLottery and not only did she keep her mind, but it actually made her more attractive, instead of less.]] This is why she says "[[IJustWantToBeNormal I Don't Want To Use My Powers]]" instead of "[[IJustWantToBeNormal Please Cure Me, Rex]]", because being cured means going back to how she looked before.
416
417[[WMG: Breach is [[VideoGame/YumeNikki Monoko]], several years older and after manifesting physically from Madotsuki's mind]]
418[[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gZdhL6A1pY0/S69TJw8yGuI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/oH3DmkKQs7s/s1600/breach.jpg Breach]] looks a hell lot like [[http://img.listal.com/image/1336491/600full-yume-nikki-screenshot.jpg Monoko]], only minus that extra hand on the head and the stomach swirl. Not to mention controlling portals sounds like a very dreamlike power.
419
420[[WMG: No Face escaped the Bug Jar at the end of the "Alliance"]]
421We never see for certain that he was in there when the force field went back up. It would be a shame to waste a cool villain by leaving him trapped.
422* Related Theory: He and Circe will join the Green Fist, allowing more DatingCatwoman moments for Circe and Rex, and giving Rex and NoFace a chance to work together.
423
424[[WMG: The Nanite Event happened in 2005]]
425In the comic there were occasional visions of a mechanical cataclysm in the Future, the future being 2005, perhaps that was related to the Nanite Event. Of course it would mean the series takes place in 2010
426
427[[WMG: Providence will undergo a FaceHeelTurn]]
428It's an organization that is funded by various governments, patrols an entire post-apocalyptic world, uses state of the art monitoring equipment to both [[PalantirPloy detect [=EVOs=] and watch Rex like a hawk]], and is currently run by a guy named [[ChessMotifs White Knight]]. [=EVOs=], while mostly raging monsters, have gotten more and more screen time lately depicting the more intelligent ones as "different, not evil" and constantly remind us "Providence isn't the only option." Clearly, they're being set up as the true villains of the show.
429* Rex, Six, Bobo and possibly Holiday will go AWOL after Providence [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope crosses the line]] in their [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything crusade to rid the world of the "EVO menace"]]. They will then not only have to fight rouge [=EVOs=], but a [[TheEmpire highly militant Providence]] with a nice bounty on their heads. Along the way, they'll meet and team up with various good [=EVOs=] for a later GondorCallsForAid moment in the finale. White Knight may or may not struggle with the direction Providence is taking, and if he does have a HeelRealization, he will be [[RedemptionEqualsDeath promptly replaced]] with someone worse with the last name "King."
430** Certainly would be intesting. Of course, don't forget that Rex (and Bobo, to some extent) are quite chummy with most of Providence, so it could wind up they have to go on the run, but eventually regain a foothold with the soldier they've befriended over time.
431*** So it would become a case of the BigBadGovernment vs Rebels who have the sympathy of the BigBadGovernment foot soldiers? Real Life Much?
432* Confirmed. After the time skip, Black Knight takes over Providence and directly opposes Rex. Or rather, Rex opposes her.
433
434[[WMG: Bobo's was Curious George]]
435His origin is 100% correct, but the color was a man in Yellow not Purple.
436* Maybe it's a shout-out, but the color was changed for less legal hassle in the future.
437
438[[WMG: Hunter Cain's wife was named Caroline]]
439You didn't really think he named his BFG after the song, did you?
440
441[[WMG: There will be a Cross-over between ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' eventually]]
442If only because it would be awesome to see [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny Who Would Win]] with Rex vs Ben.
443* If you mean original ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'', then that'd be a fun ''What-if'' scenario. Otherwise... no, I'd rather see Rex go anywhere near that traninwreck that claims to be Ben now.
444** Definitely original Ben, unless it's a TakeThatMe BizarroEpisode with it's tongue firmly planted on the cheek.
445*** I don't see hot it could be a TakeThatMe, since ManOfAction had nothing to do with the later reincarnations.
446** Confirmed. It will be part of the GR continuity. It's going to be interesting to see how ManOfAction writes aged-up Ben.
447
448[[WMG: Cesar will turn bad.]]
449Either because of his seemingly crazed nature, or FaceHeelReveal, Cesar will turn out to be a serious threat. For one, Van Kleiss did seem a bit pertubed when he realized Cesar was alive and well, and it did seem odd that Cesar didn't just say "Hey, could you guys drop me close to the ground?" when he helped out with the starfish evo. Of course, he really could just be touched in the head and will eventually snap out of it when the time comes.
450* Six revealed a few seconds later that the Providence soldiers would NOT have dropped him off had he asked. But if he was able to discern that so quickly, then you're right, something about Cesar makes him savvy.
451** Seems like we do have good reason to have suspicions. If Written in Sand is any indication, he certainly seems to be full of secrets. Though I wonder if he might be possible suffering from a sort of split personality.
452* Confirmed-ish. While Caesar does work for Providence (Which has undergone a FaceHeelTurn), it's hard to call him 'bad'. The mind control collars are a genuinely good idea.
453
454[[WMG: Rex will lose his powers for good in the finale]]
455Somehow, all the nanites will either be destroyed, or permanantly reprogramed into a harmless state, but at the cost of Rex's ability to build any more machines. Granted, by this point Rex will be perfectly fine being a normal human, free of the burden of his powers. Then it'll be poked for laughs when he realizes he can't breeze his way through school or sports as he finally settles into an ordinary life.
456* With Noah, who is top 4 in his class WHILE hanging out with Rex tutoring him, he'll adjust in no time!
457* This is in a lot of fanfics, I'm just saying.
458
459[[WMG: If they ever make a Generator Rex videogame]]
460According to certain articles, Activision will be handling a video game adaption, though no word on whether any of the crew from Prototype will be involved (though it'd be amazing if they were, given how Rex is similar to Alex Mercer). In any case, the game should be an open world sandbox, with either an unnamed city or state as the hubworld (where the main plot is focused). Rex would be assigned missions and then have the option to choose which ones he takes first, their success earning experience skills and upgrades to Rex's builds. A psyche/stamina meter would affect how long Rex can use his machines, and when/if he can (to add tension in harder/scarier parts), meaning that Rex will have to be psyched up to use his powers without fail. Hopefully by the time the game is released, Rex will have a sufficient amount of builds (though likely some will be added in the game, and possibly become CanonImmigrants) so that there is plenty of variety in which powers players will be able to use (barring the likely DLC that would come along as well).
461
462The biggest question is, will the game be a hard T, or suffer from the dreaded restraint of an E rating? We know the series is far from kid friendly (at least little kids), but it'd be a shame if Rex is just smashing robots half the time and not dealing with any major threats. Conversly, it would be nice to see a hardcore game that doesn't rely on just mindless blood and gore to be good.
463
464** Problem is the game would just be Prototype !FOR KIDS or Prototype Lite, though if it improved on that game's many drawbacks (ugly graphics and annoying mission design most notably), it could dance around TheProblemWithLisencedGames. Personally I'd think CelShaded graphics would be really nice.
465** Huh? The graphics in Prototype weren't that bad (granted not nearly as polished as inFAMOUS, but chalk that up to it being made concurrent for two systems). But it still could be fairly violent (long as Rex's enemies are monsters with non-red goo blood). But you never know, hopefully they'll be bold with this and actually break the curse on licensed games based on cartoon (and I mean, if Batman could, then why shouldn't Rex?)
466
467[[WMG: A real EldritchAbomination will appear sooner or later.]]
468* It's possible. I mean, if the Chupacabra is real in this world, who's to say that a Cthullu expy isn't far off?
469
470[[WMG: Cricket was a former prostitute.]]
471She is said to have a crush on rex because he saved her from a bad situation, and i can't think of anything worse.
472* Certainly a possibility. Though the show probably won't be able to say anything like that. Though they could at least imply it, if Cricket ever gets a second appearance.
473
474[[WMG: Rex will eventually finish the programming on all the Nanites in the series finale]]
475ZAG-RS already showed destroying all Nanites isn't an option. Rex's Nanites are fully programmed and that's why he can control them. In addition, his [[spoiler:upgraded nanite]] can control others. So he'll finish all the programing of the nanites and use it to turn the world from a CrapsackWorld to a wicked awesome one where everyone on Earth has awesome superpowers instead of the BodyHorror mutations they have now. Yeah, there'd be some people who use them for bad, but that's what it's like now, only difference is they're less of a threat if everyone has powers and there'd be a lot more superheroes.
476* At the very least it would mean everyone would be in good health with diseases like HIV and cancers kept down by the reprogrammed nanites.
477
478[[WMG: Concerning Ceser being possibly evil]]
479It's possible that he may be a WellintentionedExtremist who wants to save his brother, but is willing to let everyone else suffer if it achieves his goals.
480* Personally, I think Caesar and his parents were the scientists who wanted to use Rex as a weapon. It would make a nice twist, no?
481** So maybe ZAG-RS really is their mother with her mind uploaded into the machine? That'd be pretty crazy.
482* I'm figuring it'll go down in one of two ways: Cesar is playing TheChessMaster, and is doing a bang up job pretending to be CloudCuckooLander. Or He really is whacked out of his gourd and is suffering from split mind, where one half is the friendly but clueless brother, while the other is a cold hearted bastard who makes Van Kleiss look like Jesus.
483** Who's to say he isnt a CloudCuckooLander and TheChessMaster, the two don't have to be mutually exclusive. That's why BunnyEarsLawyer exists.
484* Personally, I believe he's a genuinely sick (as in having a pyschological disorder) individual.
485** Seems to me he is just a BadassBookworm with ADD.
486
487[[WMG: Doctor Holiday is the daughter or granddaughter of [[VideoGame/Nocturne1999 Elspeth "Doc" Holliday]]]]
488They're both scientists working for an outfit that deals with unique threats ([=EVOs=] and the supernatural respectively) and they both have a similar sense of humor which could be a possible case of ItRunsInTheFamily. Both of them also work alongside an enigmatic [[TheMenInBlack Man In Black]].
489
490[[WMG: Van Kleiss had some sort of relationship with Rex and Cesar's mother Violetta and Cesar knew/figured it out some way.]]
491Van Kleiss worked along with Rex's family and his tone of voice in the previous episode suggests he had a fondness for his mom. Its been suspected that Van Kleiss is Rex's father by some fans and that may not be entirely implausible. Rex might be the product of a brief affair between the Van Kleiss and Violetta that her husband never knew about. Ceasr may have discovered this sometime before the Nanite event but said nothing to is father or Rex out of his love for hi mother. From what we can gather in that episode as well, Cesar was very close to his mother. Or Rex isn't Van Kleiss's son and he and Violetta didn't have an affair but Van Kleiss loved her and perhaps he blames Caesar and maybe even Rex for her death.
492
493[[WMG: Caesar was the one who arranged for Hunter Cain's release.]]
494Hunter Cain said that someone within Providence paid for his release. White Knight is too obvious as the resident EVO-hater and has already showed distaste for Cain's methods. Doctor Holiday, Six, and Bobo are extremely unlikely, Captain Callan is too dedicated to Providence and is trusted by White Knight (Since the moment Rex fails, Knight always sends Callan in to finish the job.) Kenwyn Jones might have been likely if not for her CharacterDevelopment, and so...the only one left is Caesar. Mostly the theory is that Caesar had some kind of plan for Cain, but Cain went off to do his own thing or was contacted by the Mayor before Caesar had a chance to contact him.)
495* There's also the unidentified Providence traitor that Van Kleiss was in contact with at the beginning of "Payback." We never did learn his identity, anyway...
496
497[[WMG: Violetta Salazar is...]]
498''Doctor Holiday's sister''. Simply because Doctor Holiday being Rex and Cesar's mom is too obvious, Plus, what better way to bring back the character?
499** Jossed as of ''A Family Holiday''--Holiday's sister's name is revealed as Beverly, and she seems to be around Rex's age.
500
501[[WMG: The nanites are [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}} Level 4 Technology or higher]]]].
502The Event provides a pretty good example as to why humans, at the moment, are only capable of handling Level 2 Tech at the most.
503
504[[WMG: Circe will become a BigBad]]
505
506Rex will probably [[KilledOffForReal kill Van Kleiss for real]], leaving Circe traumatised and mentally fractured. Using her powers to their full extent, she'll seize control of the Pack and all other Evo's in Abysus and use them to try crush Rex and Providence as revenge.
507* Not possible or likely considering the current status quo.
508
509[[WMG: Hunter Kain will go after [[spoiler: Beverly Holiday]]]].
510
511Because the man's entire schtick is that [=EVOs=] cannot be permanently cured, which [[spoiler: Beverly]] clearly shows to be the case. He may not believe she's cured or may not even care. Expect an all-out war between him and Rex's crew, especially [[spoiler: Doc Holliday]].
512
513[[WMG: Breach's Epic Fail is actually...]]
514
515... a Flawless Victory for Van Kleiss and the Pack. Quarry's abduction is another part of a master plan that Van Klyce is brewing up, a plan that started when he stole that reactor back in the first episodes. The Pack didn't really want that weapon, they just needed to 'get' Quarry for that master plan. Breach's last smirk to the viewer wasn't seen by Rex & Co, and wasn't an animation mistake either. She was simply satisfied with a mission that went perfectly as planned, the personalities of each of the pawns exploited to their full potential, the Pack off with what they wanted, and Providence not having a clue of what's really going on.
516* {{Jossed}} by the episode 'Remote Control'. [[spoiler: Quarry was in Van Kleiss' custody and the leader of the Pack apparently broke him apart as punishment for his stunt in Honk-Kong. So it was indeed an epic fail on Breach's part.]]
517
518[[WMG: The EVO statues in Van Kleiss's garden are...]]
519
520Two of the three scientists that wanted to weaponize Rex, because they were seen in his dream in Frostbite and they look exactly the same as the [=EVOs=] in the garden when the sequence changes... or they could be Violeta and Rafael Salazar, just 'cause.
521
522[[WMG: The Nanites are [[GoneHorriblyRight just doing what they're programmed to do]]]]
523
524The nanites were supposed to repair damage and cure diseases, but the code that restricts them to the organism's baseline is faulty. Instead of just restoring their host to a healthy state, they go further and try to "improve" the organism. The EVO's practically always turn into oversized predators because, from the nanites' perspective, bigger, stronger and more dangerous is a logical improvement for the host. The EVO's are superstrong, superfast and often take on forms based on their environment, such as the desert priest who transformed into a cactus-like creature and the fisherman who became an aquatic EVO, and they often gain superhuman powers, like Breach's portals or Circe's screams. This is especially clear with animal EVO's like the beetles in "The Swarm": being bigger, stronger and faster at reproducing, they can outcompete normal bugs and take their ecological place. Each person and creature's nanites, once they "pop", try to improve the host as much as they possibly can. It's just that the human mind often can't withstand the process, so most EVO's turn out as mindless beasts (which the nanites, only being programmed to repair the body, don't worry about).
525** Also, Rex's Nanites had their programing completed, and ended up with superpowers anyway. So it's possible that improving the base organism was part of it from the beginning, but the nanites take that too far too.
526
527[[WMG: The 'RS' in ZAG-RS stands for...]]
528
529Rex Salazar. And she was used to remove Rex's excess nanites prior to the event. Or had some sort of affiliation with Rex.
530
531[[WMG: Cesar is the one who...]]
532
533Caused Rex's blackouts. He was able to gain control over Rex's nanites and somehow wipe his memory like he probably did ZAG-RS's. Rex witnessed Cesar cause The Event, and at the last minute his older brother wiped his memory in fear of being found out. Cesar then proceeded to get on his spaceship. He also wiped ZAG-RS's memory because she held harmful data... or something.
534
535[[WMG: There were some fully programmed nanites released in the explosion]]
536
537This is why some [=EVOs=] merely gain superpowers and don't mutate into a monster. Ones like Bobo and Circe are infected by a mix of fully programmed Nanites like Rex and unprogrammed Nanites like everyone else, the programmed ones preventing them from being completely mutated. Van Kless is probably infected simularly, but when he was revived, his programmed ones were corrupted, letting Rex cure him.
538
539[[WMG: Providence but Rex specifically is assembling a {{Chekhov's Army}} ]]
540- I thought it about more in a recent episode "Nightfall" with him and his "family" down in Mexico, [[spoiler:who happen to be werewolf [=EVOs=] that he cures but gives them the power to change at will.]] He interacts with a whole slew of characters both evo and not each with special talents and powers that would be amazing in a fight against Van Kliess. I'd be really disappointed if the series finale didn't have something like that.
541
542[[WMG: Rex selling Quarry to The Pack was the whole goal of the Hard Target plan.]]
543
544After the disaster that was the negoitiations with No Face, Van Kleiss decided his next partner should be firmly under his thumb before the talks could begin. So after learning of Quarry's past connection to Rex, he had Breach give him the oppurtonity to wreck some havoc "against the deal", and when Providence cracked down, Abbysus would be a saviour by either saving him, or sparing him when Rex left him for the wolves to punish for his rebellion, discouraging future bad conduct. Learning where the treacherous Circe was is a bonus whose use will be determined at a later date.
545
546[[WMG: One was [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Nigel Uno]].]]
547
548[[WMG: Rex's amnesia will return in the Season Finale.]]
549* And Van Kleiss will find him before Providence does.
550
551[[WMG: NightShadow is really a double agent]]
552* Turns out Van Kleiss either revived him, or found him sometime before Providence came to search Rylander's old lab. His whole "revenge" scheme was merely a means of quickly sympathizing with Rex and gaining his trust.
553
554[[WMG: Agent Six left because without Rex he had no reason to stay]]
555* In Six Minus Six, he lost all of his memories but was persuaded to stay because of Rex and the fact that Rex trusted him. Rex vanished for six months; everyone probably thought he was dead. Sp Six left. There'll be one hell of a "where were you" moment that leads to a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
556* Likewise, Holiday: without Rex, there was no cure. She couldn't just let them start killing again, and so went to do research elsewhere.
557* Even White might not have gone bad--something else might be going on. We don't know if Black Knight is telling the truth. Clearly things have changed...and not for the better.
558
559[[WMG: Caesar Salazar is a high-functioning sociopath.]]
560Not necessarily good or evil, but he definitely is lacking something in the empathy department. All of his emotional reactions, if he has any at all, seem very stunted and almost forced. It wouldn't be too far of a stretch to assume he just doesn't feel emotions as deeply as everyone else. What this means for his role in the series, who knows?
561
562[[WMG: White Knight became an EVO]]
563During Lions and Lambs, he was fighting Van Kleiss, and in said battle Van Kleiss had jammed his claw glove into White's power suit for a good few seconds, where even a nanoscopic tear could lead to infection. Black Knight said White was gone because he tried to stage a hostile takeover, but we have no reason to actually believe her, and saying that doesn't sound as bad as saying 'we lost the one pure human on Earth'.
564
565[[WMG: Ceasar is not evil....]]
566He's a WellIntentionedExtremist trying to make up for accidentally causing the Event five years ago. Coupled with his obviously lacking empathy skills, is it so unreasonable to assume that while he does love Rex and want to save the world, he's slipping into "IDidWhatIHadToDo" territory?
567* And this will be the focus of Back in Black
568* Ahem. BeardOfEvil. QED.
569* Confirmed-ish. The mind control collars serve a vital function (Especially since Rex was missing) and take the 'Kill' out of Contain, Cure, Kill, but some might see taking away free will (However much free will [=EVOs=] have, anyway) as being extremest.
570
571[[WMG: Caesar's machine didn't malfunction]]
572It was supposed to wipe Rex's memory and turning him into that giant robot thing (Caesar had a way to control him when he was like that). Caesar wanted to have complete control of Rex--what better way than wipe his memory and have him turn into something unbeatable (and as we saw, there was no way Six would be willing to kill Rex).
573* It's also why Six almost died where Rex just risked a memory reset. Caesar decided Six being back to his old mercenary self but only loyal to Rex was a liability. Or he was jealous that Rex clearly trusts Six more than him.
574
575[[WMG: Van Kleiss wanted to go back in time and prevent the Nanite Event.]]
576Hence his telling White Knight "If you knew what I wanted to do, you'd be helping me." Of course, without the Nanite Event, Van Kleiss has a monopoly on the creation (and control) of [=EVOs=], allowing him to create an unstoppable army.
577
578[[WMG: Black Knight is ZAG-RS in a human or humanoid body]]
579* She's either a robot, a nanite construct, or a human whose nanites have been hijacked by ZAG-RS. Caesar may have had something to do with her construction.
580
581[[WMG: Caesar is, and always has been, jealous of Rex's powers.]]
582#'''The accident that nearly killed Rex was Caesar's fault.'''
583** Not intentionally, of course. But in Tom Sawyer fashion, he suckered Rex into doing a chore or an errand that he didn't want to do. That chore, by chance, puts Rex in the right place and the right time to suffer the accident and get a nanite transfusion. If Caesar hadn't convinced Rex to do it, ''he'' would have been the one getting the operation.
584#'''Caesar wanted Rex's powers.'''
585** When the operation is successful, Rex becomes the darling of the scientific community overnight. Try to see the situation from Caesar's point of view. You've been a child prodigy all your life, the son of two great scientists, working your ass off and possibly sacrificing huge chunks of your childhood for recognition in the scientific community. Suddenly, your ten year old brother - who has probably never worked for anything or accomplished anything on his own - is given the breakthrough of the century on a silver platter, and you're now living in his shadow.
586** To add insult to injury, your little brother develops ''superpowers'' as a side effect. While all this is happening, while he's getting all the attention and love and recognition, all you can think about is how that could have -- ''should'' have -- been you. After all, remember what Rylander said to Rex? "The look on your brother's face..."
587#'''Caesar caused the nanite event because he was either trying to obtain Rex's powers, or control Rex.'''
588** We don't have a lot of information about what, exactly, Caesar did to cause the nanite event, or how it even happened. Still, judging by the way Caesar was dodging questions, it's obvious he was doing ''something'' he wasn't supposed to do.
589** It's been suggested that Caesar was the one who caused Rex's initial blackouts - perhaps Caesar was performing an illegal/unethical experiment on Rex, or trying to "steal" the nanites from Rex in a Van Kleiss manner to take the powers for himself.
590** It's also been suggested above that ZAG-RS has something to do with Rex, and the RS in her name stands for "Rex Salazar". It would certainly fit with the idea that he wanted some kind of control or influence over Rex.
591** The Omega Nanite might have been developed as a means of developing powers similar to Rex. Maybe that's why Caesar and Van Kleiss both wanted it, and why it was developed in the first place.
592
593[[WMG: Black Knight is Breach, or a blood relation]]
594* Her face and hair are very similar-same pale skin, dark hair covering one eye, same colored and shaped lips. They might have the same hairstyle if Black Knight didn't tuck it behind her ears. It's either this, or an egregious use of OnlySixFaces. Breach had a time machine buckled onto her, perhaps she landed in a different time than Rex, like, say, ten years in the past. After losing her extra arms...somehow (perhaps she's just hiding them; she is wearing a cloak/cape after all)...she managed to become a part of the Providence council. And she's been waiting for Rex to return from his time traveling incident ever since. This might explain by Black Knight was so affable to Rex, because she last remembered him as a close friend. She only chose this moment to take over Providence because at any earlier point, Rex would only consider Breach an enemy.
595** Pretty well Jossed in "Back In Black": Black Night was already part of Providence, and stepped in when White Knight stood against the higher-ups and went rogue.
596*** Breach is a time traveler - maybe she goes back in time, gets cured, & then joins Providence. Alternatively, Black Knight becomes Breach & gets thrown back in time.
597
598[[WMG: If or when Six gets a recall]]
599* Something will happen that triggers Rex's SuperPoweredEvilSide. Maybe Six, Holiday, or someone else will [[DisneyDeath appear to die]], causing Rex to turn back into the giant mech from ''Promises, Promises''. It'll all be sorted out in the end, and Rex will return to normal, but the point is that right after Six regains his memories, Rex will lose his.
600
601[[WMG: Van Kleiss and Rex were very close before the Event.]]
602* Rex comes from a family of prominent scientists, and with a big project like the Nanites in the works, his parents and brother were all in very high demand. Who looks after their ten-year-old son, then? Well, saddle one of the flunkies with him. Caesar picked out a quiet, unthreatening, third-rate lab hack for the job, Van Kleiss. As he and Rex spent time together, they grew very close and Rex looked up to him. Then the event happened, and the nanites drove Van Kleiss insane. He can remember the attachment to Rex but it has become twisted and warped and lost in his struggle for domination.
603** [[spoiler:The series finale seems to indicate he was [[AGodAmI crazy all along]], but he may have been good enough at hiding it that young Rex never realized. And maybe, beneath his lust for power, part of him really did care for the boy back then.]]
604
605[[WMG: The Nanites are sentient. Van Kleiss and Rex are both their puppets.]]
606Though neither is aware of it.
607
608[[WMG: Black Knight took over Providence, White Knight tried to stop her but failed, forcing him to go underground.]]
609With the recent episode, its becoming clearer and clearer on what happened. White Knight didn't go rogue, it was Black Knight who did. Possibly on orders of the higher ups. Black Knight was able to convince [[AloofBigBrother Cesar]] to join her side, given they share the same mentality. Approximately two months into Rex's disappearance, Black Knight's coup d'tat started and she was able to force White Knight, Holiday, and Rex underground thanks to Cesar's inventions which control the [=EVOs=].
610
611[[WMG: Breach isn't an EVO.]]
612* She's another experiment from around the same time as the nanite project.
613
614[[WMG: Caesar is a fan of Brandon Moses because he knew his true intentions from the start.]]
615* Which is how he came up with the idea of controlling [=EVOs=] in 'Back in Black'. Maybe Moses is in cahoots in running New Providence with BK and Caesar?
616
617[[WMG: Cesar is an EVO.]]
618* Like with Breach, the nanites' mutations made him go a little funny. Black Knight found out and is currently controlling him. Because honestly, whether or not Van Kleiss was right about Cesar causing the Nanite Event, and whatever his motivations are, he's shown himself (as in "Mixed Signals" and "Night Falls") to be extremely protective of his brother. To endanger Rex's life by turning the EVO-brainwashing machine to full power, with only a token objection, seems a bit out of character.
619** He had six months of wondering if his brother was gone forever, and then suddenly his brother is back. That'll do funny things to you even if you're normal, which Cesar [[CloudCuckoolander isn't]].
620** Yeah. Besides, Caesar seems like more of an 'The ends justify the means' kind of person. Although we'll probably find out there is some kind of horrible side-effect of the mind control later on, the mind control IS a pretty good solution, all things considered. The only real problem is that the collars can be deactivated at any time by Black, which means that she could potentially re-release the controlled [=EVOs=] into society, then threaten to turn the collars off if she doesn't get her way. Basically, she's successfully managed to weaponize [=EVOs=], just like Van Kleiss...
621[[WMG: Rex's memorys are like ROM in a computer, due to the vast number of nanites.]]
622The only difrence is his human side won't entirly let go of the memory so it instead will be stored in his nanites. The use of his nanites, mostly when his creations are broken apart, is what cause his memory loss, as nanites containing his memory are used up. The rest of the memory will eventualy be lost as well because the nanites take the place of blood in his body and in turn will be replaced by other nanites, as old blodd cells are replaced by new ones, made from the Omega, and will be in lack of his memories. A possible cure to his eventual, and inevitable memory loss, is to program the Omega nanite, to store his memorys, so that when the new nanites are created, they will have his memory.
623[[WMG: Rex is the cause of all of the nanites in the world, '''still'''.]]
624The nanites, like blood cells, die eventually, and only one person still makes them. Rex with his Omega nanite. The Nanites escape through his pores, and when he transforms and, being so small, are swept up into the atmosphere, like small dirt particles, that future rain droplets form around. Pouring back to earth in the trillions, Rex contiues to feed the [=EVO=] problem. One potential cure to the overall nanite problem is, well [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx3C86kH_X0 simple and cleanly put]] Rex's death.
625* One problem: Rex didn't have the Omega nanite until halfway through the first season, and things were already going downhill before that. Plus, he's been shown to develop nanite overload, which wouldn't happen if he was constantly leaking them.
626* I would say he leaks them too slowly for them so not build up, but you shut me down with that Omega nanite info. I didn't know that, thank you.
627* Actually...you were right-ish. The Omega nanite does apparently create nanites according to Heroes United.
628** Actually...you haven't been paying attention. Read what I said above: Things had been merrily going to hell ''before'' "Dark Passage" (season one, episode nine), which is when Rex received the Omega nanite -- ''and'' the Omega nanite's abilities were spelled out in "Written In Sand" (season two, episode 12; fully ten episodes before "Heroes United"). Rex couldn't access the nanite production ability before S1E12, so unless the OM1 makes nanites on its own, even while it's in storage in the jungle, Rex is ''not'' the source of all the nanites, still.
629
630[[WMG: Breach is Van Kleiss's daughter, which is why she stays with him even if it's not in her best interest. They do look similar.]]
631[[WMG: Van Kleis has the ability to drain nanites just like Alpha.]]
632In one episode the crew was fighting an [=EVO=] in their H.Q., Providence, when out of the blue, a statue of an [=EVO=] turns to life. It's revealed that the [=EVO=] had a run in with Van Kleis who I'm assuming tried to drain him and wasn't as sucesful as Alpha. Which brings me to the connection. In the Mash-up episode Alpha would drain [=EVOs=] to dust, the stage they would reach before dust was (you guessed it) rock like.
633* ................ You weren't around for the first half of the series, were you?
634
635[[WMG: Alpha is the same Alpha from WesternAnimation/MenInBlackTheSeries.]]
636They have the same name. They have the same accent, and pretty similar voices. They are both [[RevengeBeforeReason hell bent]] on destroying Earth. They were both sent away after betraying their creators and friends. It make sooooo much sense.
637
638[[WMG: Like Rex's nanites, Van Kleiss' nanites weren't from the same source as everyone else's]]
639However, instead of the programmed nanites, his nanites were made to replace Alpha after Caesar sent him away. That's why he's unstable and can drain people's nanites. Meh, I know it's underdeveloped, buut... Work with me?
640* The Omega One nanite was created to take Alpha's place, and Rex has that. The rest of the theory works for me, though. Van Kleiss was working in the lab; maybe he programmed his own batch?
641** Or just knows about them to modify them? The draining peoples nanites is likely an application of his knowledge, the glove was made by him and is not part of his natural EVO powers (controlling living things with nanites in them)
642** He could only create and control [=EVOs=] after he uncured himself at the end of season one. Prior to that, he only had control of the ambient nanites in Abyssus.
643
644[[WMG: FaceHeelTurn Providence isn't very unified]]
645Remember in ''Crash and Burn'' when the Providence soldiers going after the bikers tried to warn Rex that he shouldn't stick around (and possbily be captured)? Is is so much of a strech to say that some of them remember Rex's work and want things back to they were under White knoe that they know he's back?
646* [[EnemyCivilWar Maybe there'll even be a schism soon]]...
647* The current Providence soldiers don't seem to be the same ones that worked for Providence while Rex was around. They're extremely competent now, for one.
648** That may be Black Knight's influence. Some of the foot soldiers seemed to know Rex, which means they'd been around before the time skip.
649* Confirmed. "Black and White" shows that Captain Calan and a number of his men are White Knight's inside men. Calan is even loyal enough to smilingly take a punch to the face from White Knight to make it seem like Calan tried to fight them off instead of letting them in.
650
651[[WMG: The episode "Double Vision" will be hella creepy.]]
652Description from Website/TheOtherWiki: "Van Kleiss teams up with Black Knight in her relentless efforts to capture and control Rex." It's like an AffablyEvil sundae with a MemeticMolester cherry on top.
653* And now the description is something about Rex losing his goggles. Say wha?
654** The quoted description was the work of a WikiVandal. Losing his goggles is the correct description.
655*** Dang.
656*** The EVO everyone was fighting was pretty disturbing, though.
657* This episode likely took place before the Ben 10 crossover, as it would explain how Rex's goggles function like a tool rather than just be sporty protective eyewear.
658
659[[WMG: Six Will Still Go PapaWolf Over Rex at Some Point, Despite the Amnesia...]]
660 And it will be even more awesome and terrifying than any previous time due to it being amnesia!Six. Rex will probably be somewhere before "yep, he totally still cares" and freaked out.
661* Or, alternatively, to save Holiday.
662
663[[WMG: Black Knight will be horribly injured in a one-on-one fight with Six, losing both arms and both legs.]]
664[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail She will then loudly insist "'Tis but a scratch" and threaten to bite his legs off.]]
665
666[[WMG: Black Knight is a descendant of [[spoiler:Van Kleiss]].]]
667It's why she was so interested in finding [[spoiler:the painting of Van Kleiss in the pyramid]].
668* Now that would be interesting, wouldn't it? But if that were true, wouldn't Black Knight have warned [[spoiler:Van Kleiss about Breach's betrayal beforehand?]]
669** Which she would have known about ... how, exactly?
670*** She was a member of Providence's board of directors, and likely one of White Knight's superiors when the incident with Breach took place.
671
672[[WMG: Providence is going to get a ton for bad press very soon...]]
673Black Knight [[spoiler: BLEW UP THE CHAMBER UNDER THE SPHINX! To hide that breach sent Van Kliess to the past.]] Holiday's guide already said that the Cairo artifact guild (or whatever the association was) didn't trust her and was wary about Providence being around the monuments. That little bit of destruction was probably caught on someone's camera phone or something and BK will soon be known around the world for destroying a national treasure trove [[spoiler: and a treasure trove of science since you know Holiday will get the word out somehow]]. I don't think many governments are going to be giving Providence the OK for much longer...
674* Of course, she might use those mind-controlled [=EVOs=] of hers as leverage, but who knows?

676[[WMG: Rex's Parents were not good people]]
677And neither was anyone else involved with the Nanite Project. Recall everyone we've seen on the show so far connected to the Project was, at best, off. Even Rylander had ulterior motives, and obviously was in cahoots with Cesar concerning that Omega nanite business. Cesar is obviously amoral, and he thinks of his mother as "comforting", but from a normal viewpoint she was likely as bad as he is, if not worse.
678* Which, of course, means he created [[VideoGame/{{Portal2}} an AI based off the woman he thought most highly of to perform a rather mundane task that spiraled greatly out of control, threatening everyone]].
679** ''Related Theory'' one/both of their parents were abusive in some way...and Cesar failed to relize this. It's common for abused children to believe it's their own fualt for the abuse, so it's extremly possible that Cesar and Rex never told anyone. Since Cesar modled ZAG-RS after their mothers voice she was probably the least (if at all) abusive to them, which is why he labled the voice "comforting". Cesar's less-than-sane behaviour is the result of the abuse. On that note...
680
681[[WMG: Black Knight is Rex and Cesar's Mother, Violetta.]]
682Whether a normal biological mother or a genetic donor to the projects from which they resulted (in partnership with their "father" Dr. Rafael Salazar), she's mother to a pair of DesignerBabies, one a super genius, the other a walking nanite interface device. ...she does have ''purple'' hair...
683
684[[WMG: Black Knight is a long-term thinker regarding Rex.]]
685She and Rex worked cheek-by-jowl in "Riddle of the Sphinx", but she never even referenced bringing him back to Providence. The reasons: A) She had bigger things to worry about at the moment; B) it was her and her bodyguards vs. Rex, Bobo, [[MamaBear Holiday]] and [[PapaWolf Six]]; and C) she's luring Rex into a false sense of security re: her intentions for him. Once he lets his guard down, she'll spring. She seems like a [[ThePlan grand planner]], and Rex would doubtless play a part in whatever she came up with.
686
687[[WMG: Something happened to Cesar during the event]]
688What if Cesar use to be a perfectly sane, good older brother? My guess (if this is the case) he, along with Rex, tried to stop the event from happening but due to derect contact with his nanites he went insane (or at the very least loony).
689Also, currect me if I'm wrong, he was lying down in his flashback in "Mixed Signals" which (the flashback) is set after his lab went into light speed. He could've bummped his head, really hard.
690
691[[WMG: The reason Rex was a jerkass back when he was leader of his old gang was because....]]
692....he was "raised" by Spiken. (A character from the comics who hasn't made an in-show appearence yet. In the M.Rex comics Spiken is shown to be a good thief, a good actor, and a coward)He convinced Rex to do what he wanted by telling him (Rex) that he (Spiken) would help him recover his memories/find out about his past. When Rex realized Spiken was just using him, Spiken either left him(Rex)for dead, or something bad happened to Spiken(like Rex killing him in a fit of rage). By the time Rex met everyone in the gang he still remembered everything about Spiken making it so he'd "only look out for number one", which led him to working for Quarry. A guy with a lot of power who could have very easily killed Rex back then.(it was implied by Tuck Rex didn't have nearly as many builds, if any at all, back then during Rabble) Rex evevntually had enough of almost getting killed and sold the only friends he had (and to blind by selfishness to see) for "freedom" from Quarry. Quarry then attempts to kill Rex, who for the first time, used the BFS relusting in why Quarry is missing part of his face. Rex then makes a break for it leaving Hong Kong but accidentaly leaving his journal behind. After Rex leaves theres no one left to stop Quarry from makeing the gang work for him.
693** And if Rex gets these memories back he's going to develope trust issues.
694
695[[WMG: When/If Rex gets at least some of his memories back it'll be in a VideoGame/RuleOfRose esque way]]
696,and Breach will help with that. He'll even ask her. She'll send Rex and the others (including his old gang) into a "Doll House Just For Rex". The Keep will be the shows version of the airship, and Rex will act the way he acted in the memories he recieves back. He'll also draw something similar to RoR's storybooks.
697
698[[WMG: Black Knight is going to go EVO.]]
699Because the whole point of having White Knight in charge was that ''he'' never will.
700* Overlapping with the "Black Knight is Breach" theory above, BK's transformation will [[FountainOfYouth cut her age in half]], [[TheOphelia shatter her mind]], and give her [[MultiArmedAndDangerous an extra set of arms]] and [[ThinkingUpPortals the ability to open portals with her mind]]. The only difficulty is getting her sent back in time without Van Kleiss' device...
701** This troper is starting to think she's ''already'' an EVO, and just keeping it under wraps for now. Circe (and possibly Feakins) prove it's possible to change and still pass for normal. The second part of this guess is that the Consortium is aware of it, and that's why she got the job. No idea what her abilities would be, though.
702*** [[spoiler: This is confirmed in End Game Part 1. She has the same powers as Rex, but stronger.]]
703
704[[WMG: The meta-nanites can give powers linked to their part of the Dominion Code.]]
705And Breach has one inside her, which may explain why she seems to have such power over reality, including the manipulation of space and time, and the creation of pocket dimensions in which the laws of nature don't seem to have a say. Providence and White Knight realized it when she showed the power to travel through time, and that's why they were so anxious of putting their hands on her in the episode when that power was revealed.
706
707[[WMG: Rex is a Doomsday Weapon and the Meta-nanites are his triggers]]
708He wasn't given nanites to save his life but to be groomed into a living mass extinction weapon hence the picture he drew in "Assault on Abyssus".
709
710His giant robot form wasn't a result of him going berserk but the result intended by the nanite developers. The meta-nanites are meant to be put into him and mode-lock in that form in addition to giving him the capabilities to devastate the world.
711
712The first time his memory got wiped was because Cesar and his pals stopped it as the plan was being put into action by triggering the nanite event. The second time was when the surviving scientists tried to restart the plan again without enough of the meta-nanites.
713
714Cesar and Van Kleiss are the only two who know what Rex really is and Cesar is secretly working on a full measure to take care of Rex in case if someone gets it right the third time. This is why he shot at Rex during the crossover episode because if Alpha absorbs either Rex or the Omega nanite it would bring about the goal of the plan.
715* To this troper, it looked like his builds and OneWingedAngel form were drawn from his lost childhood memories. But your theory does intrigue me.
716
717[[WMG: Alpha was the cause of Rex's accident.]]
718Cesar says regarding Alpha in Heroes United: "It gained a consciousness, and wanted a body. But whatever it built burnt out. So when Alpha attempted possessing living things, Alpha had to be eliminated."
719
720What if Alpha tried possessing Rex? He would've come very close to burning poor Rex out before he was saved, but was in critical condition. The only way to save him was with the batch of good nanites, which could heal him. (Perhaps this was arranged specifically by the group that believed in humans controlling the nanites?)
721
722Either way, though, it was Alpha who caused the accident and forced Rex to be given nanites.
723
724[[WMG: Black Knight Is Specifically Capturing [=EVOs=]...]]
725...That mean something to Rex. She got [[spoiler: the Hong Kong gang, all of Abyssus (who were helping him) and Circe in one episode.]]. She's probably going to try and use them as bargaining chips.
726* Confirmed, kind of. The summary for "Remote Control" says it's Quarry doing the controlling, but last we heard he was in Providence custody. Either he escaped, or Providence is backing his efforts.
727** Actually, Breach took Quarry to Van Kleiss the last time we saw him. However, Quarry did mention that he got the tech from Ceasar...
728*** A) Argh, yes, you're right; B) He called it Cesar's tech (because Cesar invented it), but did he actually say Cesar gave it to him?
729
730[[WMG: An upcoming episode is titled "A Brief History Of Time".]]
731Either Breach or Van Kleiss is back. Possibly/probably both.
732* Confirmed on Website/TheOtherWiki. It's Van Kleiss. ''[[spoiler:And Breach!]]''
733
734[[WMG: No-Face escaped the Bug Jar.]]
735"Heroes United" had Alpha supposedly absorb the nanites of every EVO in the Bug Jar, but No-Face is a villain who deserves better than being a victim of a BusCrash. I say that when Alpha stormed the place and started devouring every EVO in sight, No-Face took the opportunity to do what he always wanted from the beginning, and got the hell out of Kiev.
736* Given the show's pattern of using villains in widely-spaced one-off episodes (ZAG-RS, anyone?) this is a distinct possibility.
737** What if he's somehow involved with Providence and the collars (willingly or otherwise)? Mind-controlling [=EVOs=] was pretty much his main shtick.
738** [[spoiler: Semi-confirmed in that he shows up in "Enemies Mine", having been imprisoned by Providence at some point off-screen.]]
739
740[[WMG: Feakins will be used as the basis of a method to deactivate or nullify all nanites everywhere]]
741And he will have TookALevelInBadass in the interim.
742
743[[WMG: Van Kliess and Black Knight were lovers before the EVO incident]]
744And the product of that? Circe. She's the daughter of the two [[BigBad Big Bads]] of the series!
745* It's so far Unknown how Van Kliess knew Black Knight so we may have to wait.
746** That's an easy one: They knew each other through the original nanite project (him on the science side, her on the Consortium side). The mystery is what that relationship entailed and what she wants from him now.
747
748[[WMG: Cesar isn't Rexs brother.]]
749He's his father, but he was only about 14 when Rex was born and his parents took Rex so that Cesar could continue his science career. Alpha did call Rex 'brother', just like he called the nanites.
750* E.V.O.s tend to think of each other as brothers. Also, ''ew''.
751** Jossed, see Hermanos
752
753[[WMG: Van Kleiss is faking his insanity and will sabotage the second Nanite Project.]]
754Some of his actions in ''Target: Consortium'' definitely gave off this vibe.
755* When he was awoken from stasis, he seemed to be genuinely traumatized. I don't think he's faking it, at least not entirely.
756** [[spoiler: 100% '''confirmed''' in "Endgame, Part 2" where he reveals he in fact ''was'' ObfuscatingInsanity.]]
757
758[[WMG: John Scarecrow was right.]]
759When he said that Rex didn't have what it took to weather what was coming, he was right. Rex stopped Six from killing the Consortium, Black Knight, and destroying the Nanite Reactor. He might have doomed the world because he wanted to go back for Nightshadow. At the very least, countless [=EVOs=] will suffer that needn't have.
760* Considering the past few [=WMGs=] involve episodes that haven't aired yet in the US, allow me to remind everyone of the existence of the spoiler tag.
761
762[[WMG: The Meta-nanites themselves will become the final BigBad of the series.]]
763They certainly seem sentient in "Target Consortium", and the other A.I.s in this series have proven evil so far. They want to merge with/possess Rex to better complete their programming to "fix" the world.
764
765[[WMG: When Rex loses his memory, his body goes thru a systems reset.]]
766In the flash back in "Rabble" Rex doesn't look much younger then he is now, but in "Promises, promises" When Six finds him, he looks like he should be in elementary school. The Explanation for this? The giant robot form we saw was Rex overloading on nanites, in order to fix this overload, his entire body goes thru a system reset. This means that not only does his memory get wiped, but his body goes back to how it was physically when he first got his nanites. The reason he seems to have aged so fast sense he was found by Six is that after the reset, his body plays an epic game of catch-up in order to match the age he's supposed to be.
767* That actually makes a lot of sense. You get a cookie for making me feel better about the show.
768** if this is true, it could mean good things for Rex's future. If the memory wipes are triggered by an overload, rather than a periodic event, then they can be prevented.
769
770
771[[WMG: The program that meant only rex could dontrol the ultimate nanite was only recently completed.]]
772Otherwise, why would the Salazars have bothered releasing all the nanites into the world? I think Rexs parents started it, but didn't have time to finish it before the consortium could get it, that's why they set off the nanite event. The work Cesar has been doing recently has been to finish said programing. That's also why he hesitated when he was saying "Our parents- We programed it that way" he did that because he had to ammend it, since he was the one who finished it it was no longer just their parents that programmed it that way
773
774
775[[WMG: The Pack.]]
776* Are being rescued by Breach, to start anew (why is Breach doing it... insanity?)
777** Are being tortured by Breach because they abused her (sucks for Biowulf and Skalamander because they sort-of reformed)
778*** Are being kept for a movie or sequel series (Duh)
779*** Just died (maybe the nanite wave interfered with her powers despite her not being there, collapsing the portal on top of her and her "guests")
780*** Fell into a plot hole (if the series never gets picked up)
781
782[[WMG: Cows are immune to nanites]]
783White only ever drinks milk. If there were nanites in the cows, there'd be nanites in the milk. White Knight's cell/living quarters/office is sealed so that no nanites can get in, and the floor has a powerful electromagnet that pulls anything with any amount of nanites to the floor, making it unreasonably heavy, yet White lifts the bottles up with no more exertion than most people would have with regular milk. Therefore, cows don't have nanites. (on an unrelated note, why is it I was paying attention enough to notice that?)
784* The episode with the news reporter investigating Providence actually answers this. They use some kind of laser or something to remove the nanites from the milk.
785** Correction: Not a laser, but a high-powered magnet. Apparently since nanites are machines, magnets can still effect them.
786
787[[WMG: The Consortium escaped to Ben's universe during the Worldwide Cure Event.]]
788Logically, they would have had to escape to somewhere outside of anywhere considered "the world", since it was a ''worldwide'' cure event, and it's highly improbable that Black Knight would've known how to get to Breach's pocket dimension where the Pack is undoubtedly riding the event out in. However, Black Knight did manage to track down Ben's world by means of the Ulimatrix in the comic "Hero Times Two", and it's hardly a stretch to say she'd still have the transdimensional coordinates. What better way to escape something encompassing the whole world than to escape to ''another'' world?
789
790[[WMG: Bobo's personality is based on Bun-Bun from SluggyFreelance]]
791They share several interests and tendencies, and some Bobo's phrases would definitely fit Bun-Bun, you wou'dn't even have to change voice actor.
792
793[[WMG: The council behind Providence are [[WesternAnimation/BenTen the Plumbers]].]]
794
795[[WMG: It's quite possible Van Kliess seen as the champion of Evos before Rex showed up.]]
796Think about it, things were bleak. Providence had a hardline kill policy. Governments didn't have much in the way of good solutions besides fire bullets and hope it goes away. The Sanctuary Abysus provided the desperate sentient evos of that era was no doubt a godsend.
797* That he was well known enough for the UN to recognize him as Abysus' leader implies he was a well known figure among humans, so he may have even brought hope to pro-evo humans & families desperately wishing that a missing loved one who's nanites had activated was safe and alive.
798
799[[WMG: Cesar is a complete unreliable narrator about Van Kliess... but he wasn't totally wrong either]]
800Van Kliess is a man that uses every tool at his disposal. And in a civilized society, murder was likely much less useful than positive social interactions. He was likely a manipulator.
801* His time in the past implies he knew as much if not more about history, dead languages and culture than he did about tech- so its possible that STEM wasn't even what he had his (presumed) Doctorate in.
802* It's possible that Voiletta and he did get along & she may have even been atttracted to him. Hell if she and Rapheal were polyamorous then Van Kliess might not even be lying at all. Which meant whatever dislike of him Cesar had would be amplified, since he could potentially hurt Cesar's mother.
803* It's very possible that while he might just inherently be the sort of man to lose sleep over killing someone, he may have never even been in a real fight until after the event. I somehow doubt whatever armed response they sent into Abysus was happy to see a labcoat after fighting their way through the products of that experiment.
804
805[[WMG: Sapient Evos were likely deeply effected by the level of lethal force & dehumanization they faced in the Pre-Rex era]]
806No one expects someone to just... fire at you on site. For existing.
807* Hell, its probably why Skalamander (one of the more uncanny looking evos) is such a jerk to everyone & why Rex's old gang is so desensitized to... so many things no 15 year old should ever have to deal with.
808* Sqwydds second episode speaks volumes about how far Evo acceptance has come, while also giving a grim window into what it used to be like for them. And when you really stop to think about the implications, its haunting picture indeed.
809
