Rise of Cobra (2009 Movie)[]
- Portrayed by Kevin J. O'Connor.
When Rex Lewis got into a building to get information on some mysterious weapons project being constructed, he saw a computer recording of a project known as "Nanomites", which were far more advanced than any project he had known of in today's scientific affairs. Rex was quite fascinated, being a scientist himself, not a soldier like the rest of the unit. Rex found Dr. Mindbender, creator of the Nanomite project for M.A.R.S., in the building.
Seeing Lewis observing the presentation, Dr. Mindbender commented that it was beautiful. Rex pulled a gun on him, telling him to stay where he was. Mindbender asked if he was really going to shoot him and he lowered the gun, commenting to Mindbender "These aren't chemical. Or nuclear, are they?" Mindbender replied that they were something much, much better. Rex agreed that it was beautiful. He than began downloading the info, but the computer sounded a warning that an air-strike was inbound - it was coming too early, and he needed to evacuate fast. However Mindbender sealed the door of the bunker, blocking Rex's means of escape and telling him that if they survived, he would tell Rex everything about the Nanomites. The explosion from the strike destroyed the building, but not the bunker.
Rex and Mindbender survived, and Rex was given the proper medical equipment to live onward. Though Rex himself confirmed Mindbender's survival, his status within M.A.R.S. projects after the incident was not revealed. Rex, however, now going by the alias "the Doctor," told Duke that he had "perfected" Mindbender's research.
