'''Rex Splode''' is a fictional character in the [[Image Comics]] series [[Invincible (comic)|Invincible]], gifted with the ability to make inanimate objects explode. He was originally a member of the Teen Team, (a pastiche of the [[Titans (comics)|Teen Titans]]) and later joined the [[Guardians of the Globe]] after the original Guardians were killed by [[Omni-Man]].

==Character Biography==
Origin: Born into a poor family, Rex was taken in by the government. Rex was put under extreme physical training, and was experimented upon, gaining the power to heat up non-organic material enough for them to explode. He also developed mild invulnerability and low-level super strength. Soon, Rex escaped and sought out his family, only to learn that they had forgotten him.
Rex soon joined the Teen Team, a group of young heroes, and started a relationship with [[Atom Eve]]. However, he soon began cheating on her with [[Dupli-Kate]], an amorous teammate, which broke Eve's heart. Ironically, Rex would soon find himself in a similar position as Kate began a relationship with the ageless [[The Immortal (comics) | Immortal]]. Rex is currently serving as a valued member of the Guardians of the Globe.

Recently, he has been unwittingly [[Clone (genetics)|cloned]] by the human controller of his teammate, Robot. How this will affect Rex and his place in the Guardians has yet to be seen.

In issue 40, his left hand was bitten off by a member of the Lizard League; the hand exploded inside his head, killing him. During this same fight, Dupli-Kate and Shrinking Ray were apparently killed. Thinking the fight was over, Rex lay down in sorrow and exhaustion, only to find that King Lizard was holding a gun to his head. He was shot through the head by King Lizard, but survived.
