Synopsis

A powerful virus has put all of North America into a deep sleep. While E.V.O.'s are immune, somehow Bobo has been affected, leaving Rex the lone agent dispatched by the White Knight to address the outbreak of emergencies. Though a temporary fix, Dr. Holiday manages uses electric neural stimulation to stay awake long enough to build a tracking device designed to locate the source of plague before finally succumbing to sleep. Left with no other choice, White Knight uses a protective weaponized suit to assist Rex in locating the source of the virus, an E.V.O. dubbed "Patient Zero." After Rex is unable to cure Patient Zero, White Knight and Rex fight over the best way to handle the E.V.O. During the fight, White Knight reveals he is completely nanite-free. Meanwhile, the E.V.O. manifests a living incarnation of the virus, forcing Rex to enter the E.V.O. to cure it. Despite having his suit breached, Rex is able to get White Knight back to Providence in time to leave him nanite-free. Afterward, it's revealed that Bobo was not actually affected by the virus, instead sleeping off a massive hangover he suffered from a party he had the night of the outbreak.

Production notes

Rex is 15, and like most 15-year-old boys, he likes cars, girls, music and sports. But unlike most 15-year-old boys, he can make his fists the size of boulders, sprout a jet pack out of his back and turn his legs into a lightning-fast motorcycle. These talents are extremely useful to Providence, a global organization chartered to fight mutant creatures known as E.V.O.s (Exponentially Variegated Organism). Rex is under their care and is their ultimate weapon.

Generator Rex takes place in the aftermath of a global accident, where microscopic machines known as nanites have merged with every living thing. For a select few, the nanites mutate their hosts into monstrous creatures called E.V.O.s.

Rex is one such E.V.O., but unlike the monsters he and Providence battle, Rex has control over his nanites. He alone has the ability to not only control these nanites- allowing him to create amazing mechanical limbs and gadgets that aid him in battle ' but also heal E.V.O.s of their mutation.

Rex's powers are incredible, and his importance to Providence and the world is undisputed. But on top of that, he just wants to be a normal teenager and must balance his adrenaline-fueled adventures with the everyday ups and downs of being 15. Rex is joined by a team of characters including his sidekick, a highly intelligent monkey named Bobo Haha who encourages Rex's mischievous side; his mentor Agent Six, so called for being the world's sixth deadliest man; the brilliant Dr. Holiday, who seems to be the only one that really understands Rex; and Noah, a regular kid and Rex's friend.

Rex's greatest threat is an E.V.O. named Van Kleiss, who with his minions called The Pack sees the nanites and resulting E.V.O.s as part of a greater plan and the future of humanity.
