This is going to be a versus between Commander Cody and Captain Rex at the time of the final
months of the Clone Wars.
We will compare their training and combat skills, as well as their armor.
Cody, designated as CC-2224 in the Clone Army, was a clone marshal commander assigned to
Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Clone Wars.
Although he wasn’t present during the first battle of Geonosis, he did participate in
many important battles like the Battle of Christophsis
and the Battle of Utapau.
When Order 66 was issued, Cody obeyed and gave the order to kill Obi Wan.
Afterwards, he continued his military service in the Imperial Army and later became a training
instructor for Human recruits on Kamino.
Rex, designated as CC-7567 in the Clone Army, was a clone captain under the service of Jedi
General Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars.
Like Cody, Rex participated in many important battles, including the Battle of Teth and
the Battle of Umbara.
When Order 66 was issued, Rex, having had his inhibitor chip removed prior, refused
the order and deserted the Clone Army.
During the Empire’s reign, Rex joined the Ghost Crew and helped them and the rebellion
they were apart of fight the Empire.
First we will compare their training and combat skills.
Like all the other Jango Fett clones, Cody was genetically altered to have faster reflexes
and improved stamina.
Showing an unusual strong trait of independent thought, he was selected for special training,
during which he actually met and befriended Rex.
Cody was later entered into ARC trooper Alpha-17’s training program, a program designed to increase
independent thought.
Of the hundred clones chosen for the training program, Cody outperformed most of them.
He possessed excellent close combat skills and was also very skilled in battle tactics.
Just like Cody, Rex possessed the standard clone genetic modifications and was also selected
for special training for his natural leadership abilities.
Rex was also entered in Alpha-17’s training program.
Though it is unknown how well Rex performed during the program, we can safely assume he
was also at the top of his class, as he was given command of the 501st legion, a legion
of clones whose training surpassed even that of the Advanced Recon Commandos.
During the Clone Wars, Rex earned a reputation as one of the Republic Military's best and
toughest clone troopers.
He possessed excellent close combat skills, as well as outstanding marksmanship skills.
For this category, we will give Rex the point.
Earning the reputation as one of the Republic’s best soldiers and being given the command
of one of its most elite legions, Rex’s accomplishments due to his training and combat
skills greatly outweigh Cody’s.
Although Cody definitely had superb skill in combat, he was more of a strategist while
Rex was more of a fighter.
And in a one to one fight, being a fighter is more valuable than being a strategist.
Next we will compare their armor.
In the later years of the Clone Wars, Cody wore customized phase 2 clone armor.
It included a sun visor on the helmet, a small tool attached to the upper arm piece, and
one antenna on the shoulder pads with another one on the back of his helmet.
A jetpack could also be attached to his armor when needed.
Around the same time, Rex wore customized phase 1 and phase 2 hybrid clone armor.
He modified his phase 2 armor to include the middle portion of his phase 1 helmet, including
his rangefinder scope and original T-visor.
He also replaced portions of his chest plates with his old phase 1 armor.
On top of his hybrid armor, he had a redesigned pauldron and kama.
The pauldron acted as additional armor over his upper chest, possibly saving Rex’s life
from a sniper shot during the war.
While the kama provided light protection around his thighs.
A jetpack could also be attached to his armor when required.
For this category, we will give Rex the point again.
As although they both possess the same armor, Rex’s modifications provide him additional
protection.
Rex also has a rangefinder which gives him an advantage in blaster fights.
We won’t be comparing their weapons, as neither of them have a signature weapon.
You could argue that Rex’s dual DC-17 blasters are a signature weapon for him, but Cody definitely
doesn’t have any.
It wouldn’t make sense to compare heavy blaster pistols with the standard clone DC-15A
blaster rifle.
So for this versus they will be equipped with the same weapons.
When it comes to long range weapons, like the DC-15A blaster rifle, Rex would have a
higher chance of winning.
Rex had outstanding marksmanship skills and had a rangefinder on his helmet which gives
him a great advantage over Cody in long range fights.
For long range, Rex would probably win 9 out of 10 times.
When it comes to close combat, it's not as clear as to who would have the advantage.
They both possessed excellent close combat skills.
But we’ll give Rex the point due to probably have slightly better skill in close combat
due to his accomplishments as a soldier throughout the clone wars.
Rex would probably win 6 or 7 out of 10 times.
The winner of this versus is Captain Rex.
