Generator Rex (TV Series)

Generator Rex is an American animated television series for Cartoon Network and is created by "Man of Action" (a group consisting of Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle). John Fang of Cartoon Network Studios serves as supervising director. It is based on the comic M. Rex, published by Image Comics in 1999. It first aired in the United States on March 4, 2010, on Cartoon Network. It airs on Cartoon Network in Asia, not including Korea, on January 9, 2011 and on Cartoon Network in India on January 16, 2011. The series was announced to premiere on Teletoon in Canada on the same date as the series debuts in Asia. But it didn't air, instead episodes of Planet Sketch aired. This meant that Generator Rex's premiere in Canada had been delayed until January 16, 2011. In Russia it aired on February 18, 2011. Five years prior to the series, a massive explosion released nanites into the atmosphere, infecting almost every living thing on Earth. These nanites may randomly activate inside their hosts, mutating the subject into a monster known as an E.V.O. (or "Exponentially Variegated Organism"), usually a mindless creatur that attacks everything around it, though some E.V.O.s retain human-level intelligence. To combat the E.V.O. threat, the organization known as Providence was created. Rex is an amnesiac teenager who is infected with nanites like everyone else. However, unlike most E.V.O.s, Rex is able to control his nanites, allowing him to manifest a variety of powers and even cure others of their mutations. Working with Providence under Agent Six, he helps stop the E.V.O.s as they appear. Working against Providence is Van Kleiss, an E.V.O. with connections not only to the Event which released the nanites, but to Rex himself. Source: Wikipedia
