Rex really likes Ronan. Ronan reminds him a lot of Noah, without their... really bad start. He doesn't fully grasp the implications of Ronan's wizardry because it's kind of new to him, but he understands having a job you can't walk away from. Rex is comfortable with it, finding it easy to confide his feelings without feeling judged for it, but he's not 100% okay with talking about everything (comes from being raised by a ninja). But Ronan is easily his first and favourite friend in camp, and definitely a kindred spirit of sorts.
All right! So, basically as has probably become really obvious in Ronan's threads with Rex, Ronan is really keen on the idea of everyone having personal choices and having those choices acknowledged and respected. It's basically the tenet of his powers, to be honest, that he not only encourages people to make choices and make choices every day, but that he will fight for those choices to be respected by others. It's a thing with Ronan and something I don't really get to play often because people in camp aren't generally in such a powerless situation - while they are trapped in camp they are given agency and autonomy to make their own decisions generally.
Rex is different! Rex desperately wants an "ordinary" superhero life where being a superhero is a day job and not his sole reason to exist. Ronan genuinely feels for him - I don't want to say feels bad because he doesn't. But he does empathise with the idea of being chosen for a destiny and having it define what you do, and trying to assert your own life choices around this destiny

Rex will always eyeball Santa from time to time because of his resemblance to Quarry. For Rex, Quarry will always be the person he hates the most and he's also the person Rex killed. He's an uncomfortable part of Rex's past.
Yet, Rex does like Santo. They think alike. Blowing things up, alien conspiracies. Rex always enjoys people he can bro it up with and have similar interests. The problem is not bringing up Quarry or ever talking about him. Because Rex knows the minute he does, he'll lose any kind of camaraderie he had.
No, srs, Kurt is fun to talk to and bicker and go off wild teenage tangents, while having similar links to Rex's life, like the training, having a hard-ass teacher, etc. It relaxes Rex to know that when he's talking, people can understand a little of what he's going through, and Kurt definitely gets it.
Okay, so Rex's life is awful. Not even a little awful, it is pretty horrible. There's a great line in the show where he says "If I don't make jokes, I'm going to remember how scared I am." So he pushes himself up, tries to stay calm, strong and happy because the world sort of depends on him! And it can be pretty tough.
So, in a way, Vanya reminds Rex a lot of himself when he was younger, when he just started out at Providence, and he had no one. So a lot of Vanya's self-esteem issues make a lot of sense to Rex and he genuinely connects with her pretty well. He does want her to feel better, wants her to get up to a point where she can get up when things get too hard. Rex really wants to be that supportive best friend without telling Vanya what to do and how to do it. He also finds her to be genuinely cool and smart, playing instruments and singing. To him, she is really an awesome person with awesome talents.
Vanya liked Rex pretty much immediately! He was wondering where ice cream was and she got to help him, which are both super important things to her! And the more Vanya gets to know him, the more she likes him and wants to be his friend.
She also notices the similarities between them, but Vanya's amazed that Rex is still happy and has a positive attitude, which is something she's working at, but still struggling with. She's almost certain that Rex can help her with it and is hoping that he won't mind doing so. She's also hoping that she can help Rex in some way too, since it seems like there's a lot of "normal" things she can teach him- the same things she had to learn when she first got to Camp. Also, his powers are really, really cool! So all in all, Vanya is super excited that Rex is in Camp and she's definitely one of her favorite people to arrive in Camp in quite a while and she's so glad that he's willing to be her friend!
Rex isn't sure how to treat real superheroes! In a way, he does seem himself as one, but he knows that he's done a lot of un-superhero things. But it's cool to meet them and get to learn from them. Even if Superboy seems a little stiff and weird. But Rex is going to see that as a challenge and probably take him out on nacho runs and arcading.

Also we should do something stupid with the PH cast for no reason just to be magical.
