Biography
Rex is a nosy, selfish, and arrogant news reporter who constantly getting the names of the missing babies wrong and blowing the situation out of proportion. He is also rather callous and uncaring towards the situation: he asks Didi to tell them how it feels knowing she may never see your children again. And even after being called out by Betty for the question, Rex repeats the question to Didi with his manner. As Drew and Charlotte arrive, Rex lies to Drew about his brother losing his daughter, Angelica, this made Drew furiously tackles Stu while the other adults trying to break up the fight. Rex then displays the missing Rugrats' photos (mispronouncing all their names) and ends his report there.
Later on, Rex and his pilot are flying over the forest on their news helicopter, but Stu then accidentally crashes into the chopper in his Dactar Glider. As Rex tries to push Stu out, Stu accidentally yanks out the helicopter's throttle, causing it to tailspin out of control and crash-land into the forest below.
When the Rugrats are reunited with their parents, an injured Rex shoves away another reporter already on the scene. Just then, the Circus Monkeys manages to ambush Rex and steal his toupee, much to the babies and adults' amusement. It is currently unknown what happened to Rex afterwards.
