Rex "Racer X" Racer is Speed Racer's older brother and one of the protagonists of the Japanese cartoon, Speed Racer and the live-action film of the same name He is voiced by Kinya Aikawa In the cartoon, Peter Fernandez voiced him in the English dubbed version. In the 2008 film, as Rex, he was portrayed by Scott Porter and as Racer X, he was portrayed by Matthew Fox.
Undeniably, Racer X is the least understood driver on the Formula 1 racing circuit. Both feared and revered, he inspires rumors that whenever he competes, crashes are sure to occur. A facemask used to conceal his true identity further shrouds him in mystery, only adding to his reputation as a jinx.
Unbeknownst to Speed (and his family), Racer X is really his older brother, Rex Racer, a fact people are frequently reminded of throughout the long series. Long ago, while competing in a race, Rex crashed a car Pops built. Subsequently he ran away from home when Pops told him he lacked the necessary experience to race professionally. Aided by his mentor, Kabala, Racer X hones his driving skills, learning how to drive on “tortured roads and broken trails.” After this internship, he becomes a professional driver. Along the way, he adds “secret agent” to his resume. He uses his experience as a racecar driver as cover for his primary occupation at the Paris-based International Police.
