The character of Rex Brady was introduced in the year 2002, alongside his sister Cassie. There were several questions related to their parentage, as the two were confused for being aliens. Rex possessed some superhuman qualities, which made people of Salem question whether he was a normal human.
With time, when there were questions related to his and his sister's parents, they thought that they were the children of Andre DiMera and Marlena Evans. However, later it was figured out that they are the real children from an experiment that was done by using the sperm of Roman Brady, while he was held captive by Stephano DiMera and infused with the eggs of Kate Roberts, who worked for Stephano and was a prostitute.
