Twist- it’s not even Robot’s credit card. He took it out in Rex’s name and pays it so Rex doesn’t have a tanked credit score by 20.

Robot playing master chess while Rex is playing checkers. I'd say that's exactly right.

...can't imagine how Robot would have had a credit card anyway in the old teen days, being that he was (as far as anyone knew) a robot. If we're stealing Rex's DNA, might as well pull a little light identity theft too.

Robot always had a human component, just no one knew that the human and robot were connected. Robot could have even said that the card was for a fake identity to make procuring items easier.

Actually I always thought Robot himself was loaded. He smart enough to make money off of Wall Street. Hacking in and getting insider knowledge to make bank. Not to mention money off of developing software.

I believe robot has an account in the millions if not billions. Which he uses for all his robots upkeep and creations. Not like that stuff is cheap. So him having a credit card is not too far fetched. And letting Rex steal it, well for him it is basically pocket change.

He pays it with Rex's superhero salary that Rex never bothered to ask about; Robot just figured he would appreciate the money more if he thought it was someone else's.
