RICK'S SEASON ONE CATCHPHRASE

Richard D.[21] "Rick" Sanchez of Dimension C-137, commonly referred to as Rick C-137, is one of the two titular main protagonists (alongside Morty Smith) of Rick and Morty.

He is a megagenius[22] scientist whose alcoholism and reckless, nihilistic behavior are sources of concern for "his daughter's" family, as well as the safety of her son, Morty. At the start of the series, Rick had returned to the Smith Family's lives after being absent for an unspecified amount of time, with the reasons for his absence being shrouded in mystery.

Rick began his journey as a young inventor in Dimension C-137, where he lived with his wife Diane and daughter Beth. As Rick repeatedly failed to create interdimensional portal travel, Rick Prime, an alternate version of himself, visited Dimension C-137 and offered Rick the tools to make it possible. When Rick turned down the offer, Rick Prime, feeling insulted, responded by murdering Diane and Beth. This motivated a devastated Rick to finally invent working portal technology, becoming the only version of himself aside from Rick Prime to do so independently. He quickly utilized his new invention by going on a lifetime hunt for Rick Prime with the intent to avenge his family. At an unknown point after this, Rick Prime punished Rick for his relentless pursuit by erasing Diane Sanchez from every single reality across the Multiverse.

Soon after beginning his search, Rick ended up joining the Resistance alongside Birdperson, and later, Squanchy, where they fought against the Galactic Federation. Following the Battle of Blood Ridge, Rick left to resume looking for Rick Prime and began killing countless amounts of his alternate selves in the process over the next few decades. Eventually, the other Ricks surrendered to Rick C-137, who formed the Council of Ricks and oversaw the construction of the Citadel of Ricks, although he left before it was completed. Rick, now an elderly man, landed in Rick Prime's original dimension, taking his place as the father of that dimension's Beth Smith, hoping one day Rick Prime would return. Whilst living in the Prime Dimension, Rick formed a bond with Morty, his new grandson, and began taking him on various misadventures.

Rick would finally get his revenge when he killed Rick Prime via an unlikely alliance with Evil Morty. With his main goal in life now complete, Rick initially fell back into his alcoholic and depressive ways until Morty helped him find a new purpose in their classic adventures. Rick was also able to move on from the loss of Diane by erasing his memories of her and allowing sentient memories of her and a younger version of himself live together in harmony.

As the series has progressed, Rick relocated yet again to another dimension twice, and has continuously committed more heinous acts[23][24] that often leave many individuals dead and cause conflict with the Smith family. Rick's morality has frequently come into question, and many of the episodes shift him into a more antagonistic role.

ADVERTISEMENT Biography

Pubescent Rick A twelve year old Rick, successfully rewiring a television. While Rick's backstory remained shrouded in mystery for much of the series, it is clear that he always had a knack for science and invention, being able to rewire and fix a television around the age of 12. It wasn't until "Rickmurai Jack" where Rick's past is finally shown in great detail. The ’totally fabricated’ backstory shown in "The Rickshank Rickdemption" was mostly based on the truth and further hinted at in "Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort."

Prior to the beginning of the series, Rick had a fairly normal middle-class childhood and had developed an interest in tinkering with things at a young age. As an adult, he married a woman named Diane and they had a daughter named Beth. Rick eventually became a scientist who was struggling to invent teleportation. One day, he was visited by an alternate version of himself, who offered him the ability to travel to different realities, but Rick refused. Insulted by what he perceived as a lesser version of himself acting as though he was better, Rick Prime sent a bomb through a portal to kill Rick C-137's Diane and Beth. Rick grieved for an unknown period of time, before inventing his own portal gun and going on a quest for revenge. As more and more Ricks began hunting Prime for the same reason, Prime invented the Omega Device, throwing in a version of Diane to wipe out their wife across existence.

Rick would spend the next few decades searching for the Rick who murdered his family. He eventually became a weapons dealer, trying to find parts for a device to help him track down the one who killed his family. Rick eventually met Birdperson at a festival[25], and formed a rock band called "The Flesh Curtains" together with Squanchy.[26] The three eventually formed the core of the resistance against the Galactic Federation, culminating in the Battle of Blood Ridge. After winning the battle, Rick offered Birdperson the chance to join him in his adventures throughout the multiverse, but Birdperson refused. Hurt by this, Rick left to continue his quest for revenge.

During this time, Rick murdered several of his alternate selves, all of which belonged to an unknown organization of Ricks, yet none of them were the Rick he was searching for. At this point, Rick had become depressed after failing to find his family's murderer and often used alcohol to numb his constant mental anguish. Eventually, the other Ricks banded together to try and stop the so-called "Rickest Rick." However, even this proved to be futile and Rick, yet again, murdered most of the alliance set on taking him down. Because of his unstoppable nature, the other Ricks eventually admitted defeat to Rick C-137, acknowledging him as their leader.

This would lead to the construction of the Citadel of Ricks as part of their truce. Rick also created the Central Finite Curve, which included only those universes where Rick is the smartest being, presumably in an attempt to track down Rick Prime, only to fail yet again. Rick oversaw the construction of the Citadel, but he soon left after it was built due to how the other Ricks wanted to run it, leaving it to be run by the Council of Ricks. Not yet ready to give up his request for revenge, Rick eventually found out where his family's killer originated from. After discovering that said Rick had abandoned his family, Rick crashed into the house of Prime's daughter, who believed this Rick to be her original absent father. Rick then inserted himself into the family, hoping that Rick Prime would return one day so he could kill him. This, of course, led to the start of the series, where Rick has supposedly returned from his 20 year long absence.[27]

As of now, Rick is around 50–70 years old and currently resides in his room in the Smith house. He also uses the garage as partial living quarters. In the garage, he works on his inventions and science — for example, traveling to other dimensions, building various robots and devices, and causing general mayhem in different parts of the universe, be it dimensions, planets, or alternate realities. It was because of his meddling that he (this time, along with Morty) had to move to another dimension yet again, having turned the rest of humanity into Cronenbergs. A notable aspect of Rick's development is that as the series has progressed, Rick's god-like status has been moved to the forefront of the story. Many characters refer to him as the smartest man in the universe[28], while he has called himself a god and demonstrated his unstoppable nature.[29]

When invited to Birdperson and Tammy Guterman's wedding, the family was ambushed by the Galactic Federation. Though initially managing to escape, Rick turned himself in, seeing an opportunity to bring down the Federation from within. Though he was briefly inconvenienced by the Citadel trying to kill him to protect their secrets, Rick managed to turn the Federation and the Citadel on each other. Upon returning to Earth, Rick triumphantly revealed to Morty that he'd manipulated everything to have Beth divorce Jerry and make himself the dominant figure in the family and Morty's life.[30] When Rick later offered to clone Beth so she could both live out her full potential but maintain her responsibilities to her children,[31] she passed the final choice onto him. Unable to choose, Rick cloned Beth and sent one of them into space, wiping his and his daughters' memories of which was one the original Beth.[32] The terrestrial Beth's worry about this though eventually led her to reconciling with Jerry, returning the family to how things were in Season 1.[33]

After he and Morty briefly fell out, Rick began travelling the universe with two crows,[34] only to discover they were using him as a rebound for their own falling out with Crowscare. Insulted, Rick returned to his family and took Morty to the Citadel to undo the effects of an aging serum. While there, Rick and Morty were ambushed by Evil Morty who used Rick's knowledge to punch through the Central Finite Curve and escape into the larger multiverse, destroying the Citadel in the process. Before the station collapsed, Rick and Morty managed to escape in Mortytown, detaching its saucer from the larger structure but leaving them stranded without portal travel or a spaceship.[35]

Rick and Morty were eventually rescued by Space Beth who brought them back to Earth. Rick attempted to reset the portal index but accidentally reset all portal travellers, sending them all to their original realities. Trusting Summer and the Beths to fix the problem, Rick found himself back in Dimension C-137, speaking to his A.I. of Diane Sanchez. Restoring his backup spacecraft, Rick flew through the rift Evil Morty had created to try and reach Morty. As he flew to the Prime Dimension, the Diane A.I. reasoned that if Rick had been reset, Rick Prime would also have been reset and likely having just as much trouble leaving. Using a sample of Morty's DNA, Rick tracked down Rick Prime to his lair, telling Morty the truth about Rick Prime's background and status as Morty's real grandfather. Upon arriving at the lair, a recording of Rick Prime revealed a glass tube purported to contain Rick Prime or perhaps a clone of him before kill-bots are unleashed. Rick went on the offensive, still wanting revenge for what Rick Prime did to his family, but Morty convinced him it's no longer worth it as Rick now has a family in a different dimension to worry about, and Morty considers Rick C-137 his grandfather. The two left, unaware that Rick Prime had, in fact, been the one in the tube. Upon reuniting the whole family however, Season 2 Jerry released Mr. Frundles, damning Dimension C-131 that forced the family to move to the Parmesan dimension.[36]

Rick put off repairing portal travel for a while until he was upstaged by the Dinosaurs repairing the Central Finite Curve.[37]

After Morty brushed off Rick in favour of joining the Knights of the Sun,[38] an insulted Rick rededicated himself to hunting Rick Prime, creating RickBot to keep Morty distracted. Scavenging tech from Prime's lair, Rick managed to locate all of Prime's decoys across the multiverse. After RickBot had been killed, Rick conceded that he should have been honest with Morty and invited him into the hunt for Rick Prime.[39]

Rick eventually decided to "basically [frack]" the Central Finite Curve to flush out Rick Prime, killing his decoys one by one. When these shockwaves reached Evil Morty, beyond the Curve, Evil Morty suggested filtering for probability stasis. When this brought only one version of Rick Prime, Rick hesitated, suspecting a trap, leading to an argument with Evil Morty. When an annoyed Morty killed the Prime clone, it transported them to a box full of alternate Ricks, all of whom were also hunting Rick Prime. Rick and the Mortys managed to survive the trap, Rick using the black portal fluid to finally track down Rick Prime. Finding a rebuilt Omega Device, which Prime used to kill Slow Mobius, Rick and Evil Morty fought Rick Prime only for him to defeat them both. At the last moment though, Evil Morty managed to swap shirts with Morty, Prime's "original grandson," lowering Prime's guard so Evil Morty could incapacitate him, disable his backups and steal the Omega Device's blueprints. Resuscitating Rick, Evil Morty allowed him to finally take revenge on Rick Prime, Rick beating his nemesis to death. Now having the Omega Device's blueprints, Evil Morty left, warning Rick and Morty to leave him alone. With Prime dead, the reality of his family's death finally hit Rick, leaving him with no purpose in life.[40]

The death of Prime left Rick in a funk for a while but Morty eventually managed to shake him out of it — the two resuming their adventures.[41]

ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

FullBodyRick Rick is a lanky, old man. He has long limbs and is very skinny. He has spiky grey-blue hair with a bald spot on the back of his oblong-shaped head, as well as a prominent unibrow of the same color. He has a droopy nose. His tanned grey skin is wrinkly, with bags under his eyes and a pressure fold above his unibrow that follows its position. He also has laugh lines on both sides of his mouth and wrinkles below each of his butt cheeks.

He almost always wears a white lab coat with a turquoise undershirt underneath it, along with brown pants, a dark brown belt with a yellow buckle, and black shoes. Rick is shown to keep a drinking flask and his Portal Gun in each pocket of his lab coat. He is also occasionally seen with some green spill on his mouth, showing up mainly when he is drunk, or during a rare chance where he throws up. Rick speaks in a rambling, stammering manner that is often interrupted by belching and gagging, particularly when drunk or high.

Interestingly, while he remains nearly identical throughout the series, Rick does not occupy his original body. In the Season 3 premiere, what is assumed to be his original, biological body is killed by SEAL Team Rick whilst Rick was occupying the body of Cornvelious Daniel. He then took over Rick D-99, before eventually jumping into Commander Rick's body. Rick occupied this body for a while, until he was killed in "Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat" and had to create a new clone body. Rick has gone through several more cloned bodies since. Throughout all of this, Rick's appearance remained unchanged as most Ricks look identical, although he briefly wore different outfits appropriate to the position of the Ricks whose minds he took over.

Rick also sports a large amount of cybernetic enhancements. Most of Rick's body is fully upgraded, with various gadgets built in to assist him in perilous situations. From what has been shown so far, we can see all of Rick's limbs, his left eye, many of his internal organs and parts of his brain have either been enhanced or replaced entirely with cybernetic parts. When Rick is torn apart by Bigfoot in "Mort: Ragnarick", his metallic leg bones are completely exposed, suggesting Rick has long since replaced his entire skeleton with a metal replica, which presumably houses many of the gadgets often seen coming out of his body.

You're like Hitler, but even Hitler cared about Germany or something! MORTY

Rick is a genius scientist, capable of creating complex scientific inventions, including brain-enhancing helmets, dream-invading devices, portals to several different dimensions, cloning technology, cybernetic implants, various energy weapons and force fields, and the world's first amusement park inside the body of a living human. His brilliance can be muddled by his jaded personal views and his alcoholic tendencies. Rick is easily bored and does not do well with routine. When his curse removing store in the episode "Something Ricked This Way Comes" started requiring real work, Rick simply lit the whole store on fire and abandoned it. He regularly goes to other dimensions to harvest resources and will often willingly kill aliens to get them. He is willing to be extremely brutal such as when people betray him or his life or those close to him are in danger. He is usually portrayed as homicidal and having a large disregard for life, enough that he came close to bombing the world with a neutrino bomb while drunk. He was shown to find killing fun during the Purge and was even willing to kill Morty's half-Gazorpian son due to the child's danger to everyone and unstable nature.

Rick This does not make him completely heartless, however, as he has been shown to be shocked, startled or annoyed by the loss of life that he deems unnecessary, foolish, or unreasonable. He was annoyed at Morty for letting Fart live, resulting in a chase with local police that cost many bystanders their lives. In addition to that, he was panicked when Unity destroyed an entire city that Rick thought still had people in it since he was unsure if Summer and Morty were there or not. He also was shocked and upset by people he was close to dying or nearly dying, such as when Mr. Poopybutthole was shot and he ran to his side in fear for the latter's life. When Bird Person was killed by Tammy, Rick flies into a rage, mowing down multiple Federation troops. In "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate", Rick gasps when seeing Jerry being shot several times, and left mutilated. During the time of the Festival, he only watched the killing for a few short seconds before becoming overwhelmed by the violence and vomiting. Later, when helping Arthricia get revenge against the upper class, he felt he had done enough killing and began to find it gratuitous. In the past, Rick was a "hero" like Space Beth but eventually stopped, deeming it a “phase”. In Unmortricken, upon witnessing the death of his uncle, Slow Mobius, an enraged Rick would attack his uncle's murderer, later killing him.

Contrary to popular belief, Rick is not a nihilist. Although his commonly-stated viewpoint on life may be the typical nihilistic idealism that "nothing has meaning", he doesn't always put his money where his mouth is. Rick expresses love and emotion for his family and lovers on an almost episodic basis. Plot relevant instances include "The ABC's of Beth", which proves his fatherly love for Beth and "Auto Erotic Assimilation", where his being dumped by Unity made him depressed enough to cry. Rick frequently reminds people that he's above everything that could hold meaning or value to him and made "I don't give a fuck!" his new catchphrase in "Ricksy Business", but this is all a mask. Rick is shown to care about maintaining relationships with others and holds a sentimental value of his family.

Rick has the tendency to be possessive and dominating of Morty, believing the boy to be his own personal helper. This doesn't prevent Rick from genuinely caring about Morty. He occasionally uses his own inventions to improve his grandson's life, such as invading the dreams of Mr. Goldenfold to help raise his math grades, though this could have been a tactic for Morty to skip more school to go on adventures with Rick [42]. Rick also demonstrates being fairly protective of Morty, as shown in the episode "Meeseeks and Destroy", where he eventually sets aside his cynicism to allow Morty to have a positive adventure, and abruptly kills Mr. Jellybean as the two are leaving the fantasy world because of the previous attempted rape on Morty.[43] He even tried to sacrifice himself for Morty in A Rickle in Time and accepted death, until he saw a way out of dying. He cried when seeing pictures of Morty and remembering Morty as a newborn reaching out to him, when he was held captive by Evil Rick, causing Evil Rick to mock him for his irrational attachment for Morty. Nonetheless, to his core, Rick's love or at least apathy for Morty only goes so far as he can throw him under the carpet. The numerous adventures where he constantly hurts and abuses Morty verbally, undermines his achievements, physically bullies him, forces him to make unethical and traumatizing actions and completely breaks down his confidence and self-worth have pushed Morty to several breaking points. In The Rickshank Rickdemption, Morty shoots Rick after being berated by his grandfather and sister as a screw-up, though that was Rick's plan. However, unbeknownst to him was that Morty had the intention to kill and did not know the gun had a fake shot. By season 5, Rick acknowledges how unhealthy his relationship with his grandson is and replaces him in "Forgetting Sarick Mortshall" with two crows. It started as a exaggerated joke to once again take Morty down a peg, but he claims that the two birds prove as useful on adventures as Morty. Rick states that in actuality Morty's worth is no more than his new sidekicks. However, Rick does reunite with Morty in "Rickmurai Jack" when he discovers he served as the crows' rebound, not the other way around. Ironically this gave him a brief moment of the insignificance he makes Morty feel in comparison to him. However, once Evil Morty reveals himself in "Rickmurai Jack" and Morty is offered a choice between helping Rick who was pinned down or join his evil counterpart, he chose to help his grandpa. Rick even told Morty that in their situation, Evil Morty had the best position. Once Evil Morty accomplished his goal in destroying the one thing that gave Ricks their control and dominance in each respective universe, Rick and Morty barley escaped the exploding Citadel. Rick, lost for words and shocked, lost his ability to use portal travel. Yet, he had attained a newfound bond with his grandson.

Rick and Morty have a strong bond, even though their relationship is strained due to Rick's cynicism, alcoholism, lack of conventional morality, and his tendency to push aside other members of the Smith family. Rick's carelessness is prevalent around Jerry, as he clearly doesn't respect him in any sense, and his relationship with Beth can be tumultuous at times. In "Raising Gazorpazorp" and "Something Ricked This Way Comes," Summer tags along on some of Rick's adventures. Rick initially had very little interest in her, but over time as the two spent time together, they have begun to develop a closer bond.

Rick is shown to have trouble taking orders from others. He is anti-totalitarian. As a result, Rick tends to dislike people with authority and government officials. He refuses to join the Council of Ricks, because he views them as a government. He also calls the guards at Intergalactic Customs "robots" and claims that he doesn't respect them, as he deems them bureaucrats and doesn't like "being told where to go and what to do". Rick also has a great dislike of standardized education, claiming that school "isn't a place for smart people" and a "waste of time", and insists that things such as studying and homework are pointless and stupid. He also thoroughly despises compromise as seen with the Night-people, who became frustrated with having to do the the chores that the Smith family didn't want to do awake- particularly in rinsing off the dishes which was hard to wash off hours later. Not only did Rick refuse the Night-Smiths request to clean the dishes better before sleeping the first time, but even after a long escalation and fight for control of day and night (which Rick lost), and the Night-people willing to have a truce in exchange for the earlier request, Rick chose to rather lose his free will than subjugate to their offer.

Rick claims to be atheistic, but holds seemingly contradictory beliefs on religion. At one point, he tells Summer at the breakfast table in the pilot, "There is no God" — yet in the "Anatomy Park" episode, he tells the family "Do you realize that Christ was born today? Jesus Christ our savior was born today-are you people even human? What kind of Christmas is this?" (Although this comment was most likely sarcastic). He also quickly recognizes Mr. Needful as "the Devil", and when he's under the impression that he is going to die while one of the other sixty-three Ricks is chasing after Morty's lost collar, actually kneels and prays, "Please God, if there's a Hell, please be merciful to me" (significantly, when no one is around). However, when the 1/64th Rick succeeds, he retracts his statement and yells "Fuck you God, not today, bitch!" When the Ricks recombine in the presence of Summer and Morty, he once again says "I did it! There is no God! In your face!" It's possible this is just due to Rick's ego and his complete confidence in his own abilities. In fact, in “Mort: Ragnarick”, Rick himself acknowledges that he is too atheistic to be channeled to any afterlife at all.

Rick is most likely just atheistic making religious jokes and references, as, in "Never Ricking Morty," it is revealed that the most uncharacteristic act Rick would do is resort and pray to Jesus Christ, as it crashes the entire "story train".

Despite his general disregard for others, he is shown to harbor deep emotional pain and sorrow, especially when it comes to his romantic relationships, such as with his late wife, Diane, and Unity. In "Rickmurai Jack," it is revealed that Rick loved Diane dearly. Her death left a permanent mark on Rick, leading him to go on a decades-long quest for vengeance looking for the Rick who killed her. His inability to find the Rick responsible for her death has haunted him, causing him to become an alcoholic to cope with the pain and turning him into the nihilistic mad scientist he is now. Rick also carried a rather deep bond with Unity, as shown in "Auto Erotic Assimilation." During an eventful day with Unity's hive mind avatars, Rick leaves to quickly freshen up and returns to find Unity and all the planet's inhabitants gone, leaving behind a farewell note for Rick explaining that, while Unity enjoyed its time with him, they could not be together. Unity calls out the fact that Rick mentally controls people, whereas Unity physically controls people; when they are together, they bring out the worst in each other. They are too alike in the sense that they both turn others into mirror images of themselves (in Rick's case, he does so through bad influence rather than assimilation).

Rick And Morty Season 2 Episode 3 Ending Rick And Morty Season 2 Episode 3 Ending Dejected, heartbroken, and alone, Rick returned home, where he was confronted by Beth over the alien hidden in the basement lair, and asked him to keep no more alien pets. To Beth's (and the whole family's) shock, Rick simply conceded and retreated to the garage, where he clumsily attempted suicide with a makeshift death ray. He first killed a small, Cronenberg-like creature he kept. Rick decides to euthanize the small alien. He thawed it out with a serum, comfortingly petting it as it cried out and screamed. He turned it to ash with the death ray before he sat down under it as it was about to fire again, only to pass out at the last moment, narrowly avoiding the ray as he flopped forward. He remained slumped over his workbench, passed out, for the majority of the day and night, with no intercession shown from his family. Rick and Morty then visited Beta 7's world, where Unity is staying. Rick lashed out at Beta 7, insisting to see Unity again, but Beta 7 informs Rick that he's considered a "hostile entity" and threatened to attack the two unless they left. Rick reluctantly does, at Morty's urging to go to the movies.

Perhaps the ultimate downfall to Rick, which Dr. Wong concluded was both an unstoppable force and an inescapable curse in Rick's mind, is his intellect[44]. Contrary to the belief that he truly does not care nor view things with any meaning or worth, Rick, to his core, chooses to treat the world as such to push everyone and everything away. One example which made an impression on Rick was Tony, the person who intruded his secret toilet sanctuary[45]. Tony deduced that Rick, like him, was a shy pooper by circumstance rather than nature. He, too, had lost his wife like Rick and said that their search for a safe place to defecate was a "pointless bid for control", an attempt to take control in a universe which "takes whatever it wants". Pushing this away, Rick yet again promised he would be dead if ever returned. When he discovered Tony died in a ski accident due to living life free after having met Rick, he returned to his safe haven. It is then shown that Rick had created an elaborate trap to mock Tony if he sat down on the toilet again with holograms and speakers laughing and making fun of him. Instead, Rick sits down himself with a sad, depressed look while being ridiculed by his own recordings, accurately being dubbed "King of Shit" and "the saddest piece of garbage in the entire cosmos." Clearly, Rick respected Tony despite pretending otherwise, as evidenced by sparing him thrice and cursing at the alien's father at the funeral for thinking Rick was a friend.

Fittingly, Rick is the architect of his own destruction and author of his own pain due to his behavior and (outwards) lack of compassion or apathy. Throughout season 4, Rick manages to alienate himself from every single member of his family and loses situational control a significant number of times. Morty becomes independent from Rick from the first episode[46], as he is completely obsessed with dying with Jessica as shown from a death crystal. Morty accidentally causes Rick to die and refuses to revive him until he is finished much to Rick's safety hologram's chagrin. Rick then has to endure an unending series of waking up in Operation Phoenix clones in other dimensions with "Fascist dystopias" as the default setting. Later on Morty demanded a dragon for helping Rick, which resulted in Rick trapped in a soul bond with the creature and having to escape a fantasy reality where his tech was powerless[47]. By the end of the season, Morty had found a way to work with his sister as a team. Jerry, despite his predicament in the previous season, stays much more respected and loved in the family and even manages to help defeat Phoenix Person who had just brutally injured Rick and would have killed him. Furthermore, both Rick's real and cloned daughter work together as a team in "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri," coming to the conclusion that whether one of them is fake and the other one real, the fact remains: their father is awful just the same. Having suffered and been saved by his entire family, Rick attempts a bid for control by finally revealing which Beth is which. None of them are interested, however, as all of them benefit from the situation one way or another and just lose more respect for Rick when he reveals he erased his mind, so even he doesn't know. They all leave him and Summer says he just tries to "drag them into [Rick's] bullshit" since he has lost control over them. Isolated, Rick decides to see it either way and sees he made the Rickest choice he could: swapping the labels and turning his back while the AI placed them. Finally conceding and realizing what a despicable person he is, Rick only mutters "Holy shit I'm a terrible father" in complete defeat. He turns to Phoenix Person for comfort, but he sees that his friend is still angry and willing to attack, so he turns him off. Isolated and alone, Rick steps to the door but hesitates and instead goes to his chair and sits down, utterly empty of anyone.

As of Season 6-7, Rick has apparently changed for the better and is actively working to become a more balanced person. He confides in Dr. Wong as a patient and seemingly regularly visits her for her professional opinion as a family therapist since the Pickle Rick incident.

In "Mort: Ragnarick", it is indirectly stated that Rick is neurodivergent[48], meaning he is either autistic (communication impairment), has ADHD (attention difficulty), bipolar disorder (abnormal mood swings), or obsessive-compulsive disorder (excessive obsessions leading to repetitive compulsions). Technically, this could also mean he has down syndrome (chromosome disorder), Williams syndrome (another chromosome disorder), dyscalculia (difficulty with math), dysgraphia (difficulty writing), dyspraxia (difficulty with coordination), Prader-Willi syndrome (metabolism disorder), social anxiety, or Tourette syndrome (repetitive, uncontrollable ticks), but these are unlikely, because he does not have distorted facial features, is a brilliant scientist canonically categorised as a super-genius, does not have demonstrated metabolistic abnormalities, and has never demonstrated physical or verbal ticks. It's implied that out of all of the aforementioned, he's autistic, as he seemingly confirmed in "The Rickchurian Mortydate" when he asked if Minecraft was popular with autistic people due to him enjoying it.

ADVERTISEMENT Substance Abuse

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-02h46m26s111 Rick, very drunk, tries to set off a neutrino bomb to "get a fresh start". Originally, Rick's consumption of alcohol is presented more from a comedic viewpoint throughout the series' run, but in the Season 1 finale "Ricksy Business", Bird Person claims that Rick is in "great pain" (citing his catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!" as meaning "I am in great pain. Please help me." in Bird Person's language), and that he uses drugs and alcohol to numb himself. This is most likely due to his genius intelligence, nihilism, and the traumatizing effect that his continuous adventures may have on him, in the past and present (in "Rick Potion No. 9", Rick explains that the best method on how to deal with horrible events and outcomes is to "not think about it"). In "Rickmurai Jack", it is shown that Rick began drinking copious amounts of alcohol to deal with the death of his wife and daughter as well as his failure to enact revenge upon their killer. His substance abuse sparks up again in Rickfending Your Mort after the events of Unmortricken.

ADVERTISEMENT Criminal Record

The road your father and I walked together is soaked deeply with the blood of both friends and enemies. We have committed numerous atrocities in the name of freedom. BIRDPERSON

Throughout his numerous adventures with Morty, Rick has been shown to be ready and willing to disregard rules, laws and social norms if it is necessary to complete a task or escape a dangerous situation. Season one has Rick resorting to assault, battery, vandalism, smuggling, corruption of a minor, home invasion, reckless endangerment, terrorist threats, indecent exposure and even murder and arson in order to get the job done. The most common crimes committed are driving (or flying, in Rick's case) under the influence, drug abuse, and public intoxication.

In "The Wedding Squanchers," Rick is arrested by the Galactic Federation. His full criminal record is displayed on a monitor. Although in an alien language and unreadable, it is shown to be quite long. After he is placed under maximum security, another prisoner asks him "What are you in for?", to which Rick responds simply with "Everything". In "Mort Dinner Rick Andre", Rick is arrested by the police, though they were under the control of Mr. Nimbus.

Assault: In the pilot episode, Rick slaps a Smumpian in the face while fleeing from airport security, causing the Smumpian to cry. Rick also started beating up a member of the Galactic Federation in the episode "A Rickle in Time." Furthermore, in "Wet Kuat Amortican Summer," Rick has assaulted various others to gather information about Summer's whereabouts. Bioterrorism: In the episode "Rick Potion #9," Rick made a dysfunctional love potion that spread a flu-like virus to everyone in the world, which he tried to fix by making another virus including praying mantis DNA that caused them to rip apart and mutate into giant praying mantis monsters. He attempted to fix this, by using another potion, but this only made them mutate again, cronenberging the entire world. He couldn't fix the mutations in the end, and just left the dimension with Morty, leaving all of the mutated humans behind. Breaking and Entering (Burglary): In the episode "Lawnmower Dog," Rick and Morty snuck into Mr. Goldenfold's house while he was sleeping with the intent to brainwash him into giving Morty an A in math by invading Mr. Goldenfold's his dreams and incepting the idea. Cable Piracy: In the episodes "Rixty Minutes" and "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate," Rick used an interdimensional cable box to stream an infinite amount of TV channels to his own television and the intergalactic hospital television. Cannibalism: Whilst in a post-apocalyptic version of Earth Rick is offered human flesh to eat by a post-apocalypse survivor. In an effort to dodge Morty's line of questioning he eats the meat. He later begins feeding the Smith family spaghetti made from the insides of dead humans from another dimension. Child Abuse/Child Endangerment: In most episodes of the series, Rick takes Morty along with him on all of his adventures, sometimes against his will. He often endangers his life as well as leaving him traumatized and mentally scarred by exposing him to scary and horrible things, such as watching himself get killed and having to bury his own body or being forced to kill clones of his family. Morty is also the victim of lots of physical damage such as breaking his legs in three places. In the episode "Total Rickall", Rick was even seen pushing Morty down a stairwell, simply as a practical joke, in a flashback montage, along with other ways Rick has mistreated him. Corpse Mutilation: In "Pickle Rick", he ripped apart the bodies of multiple rats and cockroaches and reassembled them into a suit. Driving Under Influence: Rick is drunk throughout the majority of most episodes of Rick and Morty and he's seen driving the space cruiser while he's drunk. Most notably in the Pilot episode, when Rick was visibly intoxicated while he flew the space cruiser with Morty and it almost led to him destroying the world. Felony Murder: Through the course of their adventures, many people have died as a direct or indirect result of Rick's actions. These deaths were usually during the commission of various other serious crimes he was committing, including felony evasion, smuggling, fraud, etc. Rick has also induced Morty to kill people for him, such as making him shoot the security guards to aid their escape in the Pilot episode. Genocide: In the episode "The Ricks Must Be Crazy," in order to keep the inhabitants of the microverse producing power for his spaceship, Rick smashes the container of the Miniverse. This causes the Miniverse, and the Teenyverse (a miniature universe within the Miniverse), and its two races of inhabitants to be wiped from existence. Grave robbing / Desecration: In "One Crew over the Crewcoo's Morty," Rick takes Morty on an 'epic adventure' to rob the tomb of an alien. He later desecrates the grave of Benjamin Franklin in "Rickfending Your Mort." Human Cloning: In the episode "Big Trouble In Little Sanchez," it was revealed that Rick had been cloning and growing other versions of himself in vats in his bunker under the Smith Family garage. Although it remains unclear where cloning fits into Intergalactic law, it is at least illegal on Earth. It is also revealed that he cloned Beth in "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri." In "Rickmurai Jack" it is revealed he is aware of — and possibly involved with — the mass cloning of Mortys at the Citadel to serve as sidekicks to Ricks. Illegal Arms Dealing: In the episode "Mortynight Run," it was revealed that Rick has been selling weapons to a hitman for a long time, possibly also hiring him to kill various living beings. During a flashback in "Rickmurai Jack," a younger Rick sold large shipments of weapons to aliens in exchange for technology. Impersonation: When Rick's concoctions in the episode "Rick Potion #9" mutated everyone on the planet not biologically related to Morty, the two traveled to a new dimension whose versions of them had just died in an explosion seconds before their arrival, and assumed their places as if nothing had happened. The corpses are currently still buried in the Smith's backyard. In "The Rickshank Rickdemption," he took control over the minds of many Gromflomites and members of SEAL Team Ricks and pretended to be them. Kidnapping and False Imprisonment: In the episode "Auto Erotic Assimilation," it was revealed that Rick had kidnapped an alien and kept it imprisoned in the basement against its own will for an amount of time, so that he could perform multiple tests on him. Murder: Outside of all of the hostile aliens he's killed, Rick has killed multiple innocent beings too. In the episode "Big Trouble In Little Sanchez," he ran around with an axe and killed several living versions of himself at different ages, including a baby, a young child, a young adult, and a full adult (although this could also fall under suicide, since they were his own clones). In the episode "The Wedding Squanchers," he killed a few more members of the Galactic Federation. In "Look Who's Purging Now," Rick and Morty partake in the Purge, and Rick kills a large number of government officials, although this was in a successful effort to remove the Purge. He also beat Rick Prime to death in "Unmortricken," and Evil Morty describing it as "not exactly an alive amount of blood" confirms this. Public Intoxication: Rick is consistently drunk throughout the series which results in multiple disasters. Prison Escape: In "The Rickshank Rickdemption", Rick broke out of the Galactic Federation Prison, killed many of the guards, and finally, blew the entire place up, which in turn, must have freed any other prisoners, assuming any survived the explosion. Slavery: In "The Ricks Must Be Crazy," it was revealed that Rick's spaceship battery was powered through a microverse, containing a whole planet of people forced to generate his power (originally through deception, later through fear of destruction). Smuggling: In the Pilot episode, Rick attempted to smuggle Mega Seeds past Intergalactic Customs security, by having Morty shove them up his butt to avoid the scanner detecting them. However, when the security guard told them they have a new machine that would detect things up there, Rick grabbed Morty and took off running from them. Terrorism: At the end of "The Ricks Must Be Crazy," the inhabitants of the microverse are forced to step on gooble-boxes to power Rick's spaceship for fear of their planet being destroyed (see above: Slavery). However it was only the scientist alien who knew of the perilous position of their universe, the majority of the microverse inhabitants simply believe themselves to be producing power for themselves, i.e. Ricks original lie to them. A better example of acts of terrorism would be in his prison escape and the prison's subsequent explosion, or when he and Morty "did a pearl harbor". Time Manipulation: In the episode "A Rickle in Time," Rick froze time for the equivalent of six months which caused time to start splitting and dividing multiple times, to the point where a Fourth Dimensional Being from the Galactic Federation came and tried to arrest him and his grandkids, also revealing that Rick may have done this before. Torture/Cruelty to Animals: In the episode "Pickle Rick," he killed rats inhumanely. Treason/Rebellion: Prior to the start of the series, Rick was part of an organization that attempted to overthrow and destroy the Galactic Federation, along with his old comrades Squanchy and Birdperson. Vandalism/Arson: Rick destroyed multiple things in Intergalactic Customs in the Pilot episode. In the episode "Something Ricked This Way Comes," Rick had a store and soon got bored of it, so he doused it with gasoline and lit it on fire while people were still in it.

ADVERTISEMENT Abilities

Megagenius-level intellect: Rick is a self-proclaimed megagenius[44] and is the smartest man alive in any universe within the Central Finite Curve. This Rick was also the only Rick, aside from Rick Prime, to independently invent interdimensional portal travel. Rick's intelligence has essentially allowed him to ascend to being a god-like being through the use of his inventions and his ability to outwit many of his opponents. His mind is also incredibly resistant to any kind of simulated reality. He was able to hijack a Galactic Federation Series 9000 Brainalyzer[30] and also escape a Matrix of his own design within mere hours using only his intellect.[49] Rick was also confident that he could bring Memory Rick, a sentient representation of himself, to life. He constructed Bunker dimension, an entire world consisting of weapons to combat Evil Morty with Summer suspecting that he created the inhabitants there too. Craftsmanship: Rick is shown to be able to get himself out of many predicaments using only the resources around him. When he was trapped in the Teenyverse, he successfully built primitive technology using only basic resources such as wood. He later worked together with Zeep to build a device that allowed them to escape the Teenyverse into the Microverse using only the surroundings of a prehistoric world[50]. Immortality: Rick is almost immortal thanks to several of his inventions. His cybernetic-enhanced body is far more durable than the average human and is able to block what would otherwise be fatal damage[51]. He also has several contingencies prepared in the event of his death. His consciousness will either be transferred into a clone body or manifest as a hologram with pre-programmed instructions on how to resurrect him following a fatal incident.[32] When exposed to Space Beth's aging machine, he was aged beyond the human life span and was centuries old, with his cybernetics being aged and protruding out of his body. Cybernetic enhancements: Most of Rick's body has been upgraded with technology, which houses weapons[52], tools[53] and medical aid[47]. When Rick was stopped by security before a spaceflight to Earth, it was noted his augmentations are far above "Class C", implying they were incredibly dangerous. Rick's cybernetic body apparently takes a lot of mental fortitude to be able to control, as when Jerry entered his mind, his inexperience with Rick's cyborg body resulted in him accidentally killing himself.[54] Interdimensional travel: Rick has the ability to travel to other dimensions with his Portal Gun. This technology is far beyond most other technology in the universe and several factions have attempted to discover it for themselves[28]. Not only does it give Rick the power to travel anywhere at any given moment, but it also allows him to escape a dimension should any devastating event befall it.[55] Master combatant: Rick has demonstrated a level of fighting competence that far exceeds many of his foes. He is shown to be highly skilled at fighting with his mere fists[56], but has also shown to be very capable with almost any weapon, including those stored within his cybernetic body.[40] Notably, his combat skills are far more capable than any other Ricks aside from Rick Prime, as he was able to beat countless other Ricks into submission until they yielded and founded the Citadel of Ricks under his supervision.[27] Master tactician: Going hand-in-hand with his superior intellect, Rick is able to plan ahead for potential fights and battles to ensure he comes out on top.[57][58] He successfully led his family into victory over Evil Morty by instructing them to attack him when his weaponry was delayed by time and forced the latter into using a time stopping device, inadvertently walking into Rick's trap after he notified the time police. Manipulation: Rick is incredibly manipulative, often lying to people, including his own family, for his own benefit.[28] Whilst this can sometimes catch up to Rick, his deceit eventually assists him one way or another.[59] Diplomacy: Despite his often hostile nature, Rick is also shown to be extremely diplomatic. He was able to broker a peace treaty between Israel and Palestine as well as negotiating a peace deal with a microscopic culture and the United States of America.[29] By extension, Rick's ship was programmed by him to be able to negotiate a peace deal between the US government and giant telepathic spiders in one universe.[56] Lyricism: Rick is able to effectively freestyle songs. He once used this to save the Earth by win an intergalactic music competition[26] as well as save Morty from embarrassment inside the Fear Hole.[60] It is worth noting the latter incident was performed by a copy of Rick created within the memory hole, although since it was able to mimic his entire being, this still demonstrates the capabilities of the real Rick. Fourth-wall awareness: Rick has shown many times throughout the series that he is aware of Rick and Morty being a television series. Other characters have also made off-hand references to the show, but Rick is the only one to directly address the audience on multiple occasions.

ADVERTISEMENT Weaknesses

Despite his god-like nature, Rick has several prominent weaknesses that often hinder him and cause conflict between him and his loved ones.

Mental health: Rick is shown to be incredibly depressed due to the loss of his original wife and daughter. This often leads to self-destructive behaviour including many suicide attempts.[61] Whilst Rick is able to cure several inflictions and jump into different bodies, his depression appears chronic and continues to affect him well into the series. His main catchphrase, "Wubba Lubba dub dub" is also said to be a cry for help by Birdperson.[62] Abusive tendencies: Rick is shown to be abusive towards his friends and family, especially Morty. This has frequently resulted in Rick's loved ones distancing themselves from him[63] or even expressing a desire to kill him[28]. Rick inadvertently pushing people away only worsens his depressive state. Narcissism: Rick is very narcissistic and self-centered. He almost always believes he is right in any situation, often leading to him being humbled when danger strikes in a place he least expects it, resulting in someone else having to save him.[64] Alcoholism: Rick himself has stated he has the "hardest-working liver in the galaxy".[65] He drinks very often, evident by his frequent slurring of words and belching when he talks.[66] His excessive consumption of alcohol is, naturally, very detrimental. Notably, he once got so blackout drunk, that he created an elaborate trap for the Vindicators before passing out in his own diarrhoea and forgetting about the entire experience. This resulted in all but one of the present Vindicators to be killed in the traps he created during his drunken stupor.[67] Fear of pirates: For an unexplained reason, Rick, like other Ricks in the Multiverse[40], has a strong phobia of pirates. This seems to be one of the few things that can truly shake him, as he ran away in fear when President Curtis brought pirates in an attempt to subdue Rick.[29]

ADVERTISEMENT Rick's age

There is some ambiguity regarding Rick's chronological age within Rick and Morty. He is most often referred to as being 70 years old, although other ages have been given and he may be as young as 51 years old when considering the timeline of the show and Beth's current age.

In the Pilot, Rick is firmly established as an older man by Jerry's insistence on having Rick put into a nursing home. He is also old enough to be a grandfather and is overall designed as an elderly man, complete with wrinkles and a bald spot in his hair.

In Season 2, Episode 7, "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez", Rick's age is first given as 80 years old. When Principal Vagina speaks with Tiny Rick in private, he says "The fact you're an 80 year old man in a cloned body never bothered me". This is the only instance of Rick being referred to as 80, which suggests Principal Vagina was merely estimating.

In Season 3, Episode 6, "Rest and Ricklaxation", Toxic Rick claims he had been "bottled up inside a sentimental [Rick]" for 70 years. This is the first time Rick being in his 70s is brought up within the series.

In "Morty's Mind Blowers", a mind-blown Rick describes his appearance as an "elderly man", once again affirming he's meant to be of much older age.

In a 2021 interview, Season 5 showrunner Scott Marder responded to a fan's question regarding Rick's age. He did not provide a precise number, but stated Rick's "body is in its 70s" and "I'm not really sure how old Rick is, because if you look closely at the show, no one really has any birthdays [...] But whatever he does is maintaining himself in his 70s". He went on to explain how the writers like to keep everyone in the show the same age, regardless of how many years seemingly pass. Once again, Rick is referred to as a man in his 70s, this time by a writer of the series.

In 2022, the official Rick and Morty Instagram account posted a promotional reel featuring a clip from Season 6, Episode 6, "JuRicksic Mort", with a caption describing Rick as being the "same age as Tony Hawk," who was 54 at the time. This promotional material is most likely not canon in any capacity and was instead intended to make fun of Tony Hawk's age by comparing him to Rick; an older man. Hawk has been active since the 1980s but continues to skate well into his adulthood.

In Season 8, Episode 10, "Hot Rick" BugAnne states 40 years have passed since Diane's death. If Rick is indeed around 27 years old when Diane dies, this would put him at being around 67 years old in the present day. This may also suggest Rick was actually 30 years old when Diane died, which would put him at exactly 70 years old at the time of the show, lining up with previous numbers. However, this contrasts with Beth's age of 34, as she wouldn't have even been born when BugAnne says Diane would've died.

Despite Rick being most consistently referred to as 70 years old, Rick's age may be as low as 51 years old when the show's timeline is considered and cross-referenced with Beth's current age.

In Season 7, Episode 10, "Fear No Mort", Rick de-ages himself and refers to his appearance as being 27 years old during a conversation with a simulated Diane. Although the Rick in this scene is later revealed to be a manifestation of the Fear Hole rather than the real Rick, the specific age he chooses implies that Rick may associate 27 with the time Diane and Beth were still alive. Rick's 27 year old appearance looks identical to Rick during the flashback where he lost Diane and Beth, suggesting he was around 27 by the time Diane and Beth died and Rick began his interdimensional hunt for Rick Prime. In Season 8, Episode 6, "The Curicksous Case of Bethjamin Button", Beth and Space Beth de-age themselves to 10 years old, appearing identical to the Beth shown in Rick's flashback scenes. They later re-age back specifically to 34, confirming that 24 years have passed since Beth was 10. If Rick was 27 at that time, his current age would be: 27 + 24 = 51 years old. This timeline is further supported by earlier continuity: Beth was 17 when she gave birth to Summer, who is now also 17, placing Beth's current age at 34. This provides independent confirmation of the 24-year timespan between Beth being 10 and the present day, reinforcing the idea that Rick should be 51 years old based on this timeline. Despite the timeline being firmly established, there is no accounting for Rick's travels throughout countless dimensions during his hunt for Rick Prime, where time may have passed at different rates; something seen with the Narnia Dimension. This idea is also supported by a montage in "Rickmurai Jack" where the Citadel of Ricks are shown meddling with younger versions of Beth and Jerry in other dimensions. The Ricks doing this appear almost identical to Rick C-137's modern-day appearance, suggesting this was not done 17 years in the past.

BugAnne's comment in "Hot Rick" also contradicts the timeline. She states 40 years have passed since Diane's death. If Rick was indeed 27 years old at the time, this would make him 67 in the present day. This suggests Rick may have been 30 years old when he lost Diane, which would make him 70 in the present day, supporting other sources placing him as the same age. However, if Beth was 10 years old when Rick began his hunt for Rick Prime and 40 years have passed, she should now be 50 years old, not 34. Once again, this hints at Rick spending extended periods in dimensions with a different flow of time or suggests dimensions do not all follow the same chronology, which would make a 70 year old Rick returning to a 34 year old Beth plausible.

ADVERTISEMENT Relationships

ADVERTISEMENT Summer

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-02h39m43s236 Rick and Summer training to take revenge on Mr. Needful Rick cared very little for and paid scarce attention to Summer Smith Prime, saying her opinion meant "very little" to him in their last interaction, before unhesitatingly abandoning her to the apocalypse he created. Despite this, he was disgusted by the sight of a dream version of Summer dressed in sexual clothing in "Lawnmower Dog", and having her ask Rick and Morty to "make an inter-generational sandwich".

Following his move to Dimension C-131, Rick began to bond with the Summer of that dimension, even going on their own adventures, making her - in a sense - Rick's second sidekick. Even though he rarely shows genuine affection to Summer (like the rest of the family), Rick truly cares about Summer, affectionately giving her the nickname "Sum-Sum". In "Something Ricked This Way Comes", Rick and Summer train themselves together to buff up and assault Mr. Needful for revenge. He tends to acknowledge her input, stating he was almost proud her suggestion to destroy the Federation and noted in "Solaricks" that he "always [believed] in [her]".

In "Wet Kuat Amortican Summer", Rick admits he greatly respects Summer as an equal, even admitting she greatly reminds him of her grandmother.

ADVERTISEMENT Beth

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-02h51m12s212 (2) Rick praising Beth's cooking. Rick deeply loved his original daughter, to the point of being ready to give his science forever to be a family man. Her death deeply affected Rick who dedicated his life to hunting down her killer. When, in "Solaricks", Rick thought he could avenge his original daughter, he was ready to abandon Beth C-131 and Space Beth, showing how much her death affected him.

By contrast, Rick did not appear to have much affection for Beth Smith Prime, frequently manipulating her feelings so he could stay at her house - in the hopes that Rick Prime would day return - and later abandoning her to the apocalypse he created.

Following his move to Dimension C-131, Rick began to build a much healthier relationship with the native Beth, being much kinder to her and treating her with more respect than he does the rest of the family. He frequently calls her "sweetie" to a far greater extent than he addresses Summer with the term. In Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind, after seeing Beth express concern for Jerry. He asked if they could at least unfreeze him. Also, various Ricks from other universes also seem to like this version of Beth.

During the events of "Total Rickall," Rick was upset by Beth doubting his existence. He also comforts Beth when she shoots Mr. Poopybutthole after thinking he was a parasite, explaining his similar mistake.

In "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy", Morty lashes out on Beth for her distance towards him and Summer. He blames this on her relationship with Rick, telling her that she doesn't need to prove herself to be worthy of Rick's love by acting essentially just like him, as it is making her appear just as narcissistic and irresponsible. And that while she's trying to gain Rick's approval, she's hurting him and Summer.

Beth believed she needed to prove herself to Rick because of how rarely he ever tells her he loves her. He admits this to Jaguar in, "Pickle Rick." Rick also admitted in the same episode to Jerry that he believes Jerry impregnating Beth ruined her chances of being successful, and detests him for his detachment to his daughter. Beth's awareness of her mistreatment of her children may drive her farther away from Rick, as she may stop trying to get him to love her, and instead find solace in her relationship with her kids.

In "The ABC's of Beth", Rick behaves with Beth similarly to how he behaves with Morty and Summer, deriding her and her actions. However, he sympathized with her when she admitted she was similar to him and suggested she go off into the universe to explore it just as he did.

In "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri", it's also revealed that Beth gave Rick the responsibility of choosing for her, something that caused Rick visible stress for having to make such a large decision. Unsure of what the right decision is, Rick decides to forgo responsibility and switch the two Beths around so he doesn't know which Beth is the clone because he erased his memory. Rick later goes out of way to save his daughter, successfully freeing both. At the end, neither Beth want to know who is the original and both share a dislike of Rick. Also, Rick finally acknowledges his terrible parenting after seeing his own actions in a recording. The realization of how utterly pathetic and selfish his treatment of his daughter (though not original) is, Rick understands that he just lost possibly the last family member that cares for him.

In "Rickmurai Jack", it's shown that Rick actually cares for Beth much more than he let on. As it happens, Rick's original Beth and Diane were both killed by a bomb sent by an alternate Rick. The deaths of her and Diane have deeply haunted Rick and caused him to search the multiverse to find and kill the Rick responsible for their deaths. This cements how much Rick cares for his daughter and how driven he was to avenge their deaths.

In The CuRicksous Case of Bethjamin Button, Rick arrives to the case of de-aged Beth's mayhem situation, attempting to stop them but they trap him in the de-aging machine and make him 360 years old, leaving Rick a vulnerable, grovelling, rotting man. The Beths then proceed to beat him, believing that Rick didn't want his daughter and just wanted to fuck off, but Rick tries to reason with them, explaining that his original Beth was murdered in front of him. This gets to Beth(s), but still angry, says that someone left them, and now that there are two of them, Rick should have no problem loving the both of them. Rick, faced with this, cries, and expresses his pride in his daughters, making his acceptance to both of them clear, all of them touched, hug and cry. Even after returning to the proper ages, Rick still took time to bond with them.

In Hot Rick, upon discovering a sentient memory of Rick, she unknowingly transfers him into her own subconscious, where he starts manipulating her memories, brainwashing her into letting the memory version of Diane out of a machine in the sub-basement, and constantly gaslighting her with one message, "This is how we stay a family." She does so, but Space Beth walks in on her, and after trying to unsuccessfully give her the memories as well, brawls with her, despite Space Beth refusing. She eventually kills her, much to her horror, running out. Her other memories begin awakening driving her insane. Eventually after almost driving herself into a cliff, she reaches peak instability, and attempts to commit suicide. The memory Beth's capture Memory Rick and force him to see how they drove his own daughter insane. Rick deters her from killing herself, sedates her, and extracts the memories from her. Beth also expresses she wished she knew Diane better, leading Rick to assure her the real Diane loved Beth more than her memory incarnation.

ADVERTISEMENT Space Beth

Rick and Space Beth have a rocky relationship. She initially came to detest him for lying about cloning her, returning to Earth intending to kill him. Rick wasn't surprised but did let her know that the other Beth had a chip too, meaning either could be a clone. They did have a civil conversation at a diner instead, where Rick tells her that she isn't the clone and she is pleased to see him acknowledge her endeavors as a space adventurer. Rick later goes out of way to save his daughter, successfully freeing both. At the end, she still harbors some resentment towards him but now acknowledges him as her father and appears to have given up on killing him to settle for belittling him and pretending to punch at him. It is also shown neither Beth wants to know who is the original and both share a dislike of Rick. Also, Rick finally acknowledges his terrible parenting after seeing his own actions in a recording. The realization of how utterly pathetic and selfish his treatment of his daughter (though not original) is, Rick understands that he just lost possibly the last family member that cares for him.

By the time of "Mortyplicity", they have reached neutral terms, and she even joined the family on a space trip, with Rick openly suggesting she could hang out with the family more often, to which she politely declines.

In "Solaricks", she rescues him and Morty from near death at the Citadel and brings them back home, although she is obviously frustrated when Rick makes fun of her line and insists, she doesn't care about his opinion.

During "Valkyrick", after a botched adventure on her part, she calls him for help and was pleased that he instantly came to her aid. However, she was annoyed that he embarrassed her in front of her colleagues and got her fired from her job but readily accepted his help in redeeming herself. Rick later mentioned to Birdperson that he's trying not screw up the new bond with Space Beth, since they're actually connecting as father and daughter. Indeed, Rick (in a rare moment of compassion) actually exposed himself to a deadly virus to cure Space Beth after she got infected.

In The CuRicksous Case of Bethjamin Button, Rick arrives to the case of de-aged Beth's mayhem situation, attempting to stop them but they trap him in the de-aging machine and make him 360 years old, leaving Rick a vulnerable, grovelling, rotting man. The Beths then proceed to beat him, believing that Rick didn't want his daughter and just wanted to fuck off, but Rick tries to reason with them, explaining that his original Beth was murdered in front of him.

Even after returning to the proper ages, Rick still took time to bond with them.

During "Hot Rick", Rick revealed he actually started seeing her friend, to her dismay. She later shot a quick jab at Rick when seeing Memory Rick run amok. When Beth spiraled because of Memory Rick, she ended up killing Space Beth who was found by Rick. In another rare moment of fatherly affection, Rick was very concerned about her and immediately revive her by repairing her cybernetics. He cradled her before she regained consciousness, being relieved before the two tracked Beth down.

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-02h54m00s151 Rick and Jerry, after being scammed by the Zigerions. Rick has little to no respect for Jerry and uses any chance he gets to demean or humiliate him, whether it's constantly reminding him of his failing marriage to Beth or mocking his low intelligence. Rick seems to somewhat resent the fact that Jerry had sex with Beth, and got her pregnant (with Summer) at seventeen.

Despite the fact that Rick sees Jerry as an idiot, he still helps him with his requests (providing him with an intelligence enhancer for Snuffles, the Meeseeks Box, and the parallel timeline goggles), and asks that the Rick Officers from the Council of Ricks "unfreeze his daughter's idiot" in "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind". However, it may simply be a way of him getting Jerry to stop bothering him or not bother him in the first place.

In "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind" while the alternate Ricks are waiting at Rick C-137's house, Rick accurately predicts that the others Ricks "won't be able to resist" messing with Jerry, meaning that Rick hating Jerry is evident for almost all Ricks in every reality.

Also, in "Mortynight Run", a daycare was set up by a Rick to allow other Ricks to deposit their respective Jerrys. At first glance, it would seem the Jerrys enjoyed their time there but the more grim reality is revealed when a couple of Jerrys claimed they are abandoned as "their Ricks never returned". It's also revealed though that they are free to leave whenever they want as holding them against their will would be illegal. They just choose not to because they can't handle it out there because they're Jerrys and they don't know how to survive space. This can be seen as Rick at least not wanting Jerry to be killed since a version of him set up a daycare filled with stuff Jerry enjoys.

Despite his apparent hatred of Jerry, in "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate," he was just as horrified as the rest of the family at seeing him hold a space politician hostage and was speechless when he was shot dead by the guards. However, he was right back to his usual demeanor towards his son-in-law when he was revived by advanced alien technology. In the episode "M. Night Shaym-Aliens!" he actually comforts Jerry after Jerry finds out the best day of his life was a simulation.

In "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy", Morty convinces Rick to take Jerry on a "pity adventure" to keep him from committing suicide. Rick later admits to Jerry that he believes when he impregnated Beth, it ruined her chances of being successful, and he detests him for his detachment to his daughter. Dan Harmon has stated that Rick only hates Jerry by circumstance, and throughout the episode, they seemed to have been spending a good time together. Towards the end of the episode, Rick and Jerry's souls spend what feels like decades together when they are detached from reality, flying into a wormhole. At the end of the episode, they both learn to respect each other more.

In the post credits scene of "The ABC's of Beth," Rick gives Jerry a message on his answering machine, telling him he took care of Jerry's problem (his ex-girlfriends Kiara's ex-boyfriend Trandor, who also messaged him threatening his life), and telling Jerry he's looking out for him. This implies that Rick did this of his own accord, or was simply asked by Morty or Summer to look out for him. However, Rick did gloat about sleeping with Kiara.

During The Rickchurian Mortydate, Rick reveals he was actually planning to kill Jerry, but relented since Jerry will remain apart of the family. Jerry was horrified and noted that it must've been hard to acknowledge his effect on the family. In the end, Jerry moves back in and Rick begrudgingly accepts this while Beth forces him to watch his tone to her husband before she and the family laugh at Rick's expense, showing how much she moved from her father's shadow.

In "Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim's Morty", Rick picked up Jerry from Florida as an excuse to get away from Balthromaw. Although Rick warned Jerry he didn't want to see why the Talking Cat could talk, Jerry peaked at its memories anyway. Rick then erased Jerry's memory so he wouldn't have to remember the horrors.

In "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri," Rick saves Jerry and Beth from Tammy Guterman. He forbade Dr. Wong from entering the ship, since she wasn't in his family, meaning he sees Jerry as such.

In "Final DeSmithation," Jerry gets a fortune cookie saying he will have sex with his mom, which made him a laughing stock to his kids. However, Rick decides that, as much of an idiot as he is, he has the right to take this seriously, and even helps him when he discovers the probability of it happening is high.

In "The Jerrick Trap," the two engage in a petty argument after Jerry asks Rick for help in finding out if his rake is in their neighbor Gene's house. He gets told off by Jerry in the process, stating that his brain wouldn't have been wasted if only he had it. Insulted, Rick initiates a brain swap just to prove that people aren't "born smart." However, this ends up on a brutal route with their blood and brain parts scattered all over the place, as their own brains were not able to handle each other's minds. The Garage AI fixes the situation; however, it ends up in their personalities getting blended together. Surprisingly, the two bond really well. Even the one with Rick's body admits that, while Rick himself may constantly demean and insult Jerry, he doesn't always mean anything by it. When the two are restored to their normal selves, Morty opines that the two care for each other far more than either are willing to admit.

In "Nomortland," Jerry and Mooch try to hide from Rick, the latter saying being unnoticeable is their superpower, but since their relationship is more developed, Rick notices Jerry and orders him to come inside. He yells at Jerry for talking up the fridge with his stuff but Jerry tries deterring him with small talk, Rick sees through it, but passively engages, showing how far the two have come. It is also revealed both of them enjoy a certain show. Sometime after, Jerry returns from his Multiversal hopping adventure with Mooch, Rick is suspicious of what he was up to and seems to suspect where he was, but simply acknowledged that it was good for Jerry and he should keep doing so if it makes him happy. The end of the episode has the two watching Naked And Afraid together, while in the nude and happily discussing it.

ADVERTISEMENT Diane

Initially, there was very little known about the relationship between Rick and his former wife, Diane Sanchez, though comments made by Rick in "Rick Potion No. 9" and "The Wedding Squanchers" implied that they had a unhealthy relationship. In "Fear No Mort", Their relationship is fully shown with them having a close relationship with Diane being openly candid with Rick and having fun with his self-destructive and nihilistic lifestyle without ever judging.

In "The Rickshank Rickdemption," Rick shows a memory of his past to Cornvelious Daniel, where he is shown to be happy with both Diane and Beth before they are killed by Rick Prime. At first, Rick claims that this was a completely fabricated origin story only to be shown as true in "Rickmurai Jack". From this, it is shown that Rick did love Diane dearly and contrary to his statements actually appeared to have a healthy marriage, making Rick one of the only Rick variants that actually had a happy marriage. Her death left a lasting impact on Rick, leading him to go on a quest to find the Rick who killed her and Beth. His failure at finding the Rick who killed them has further traumatized him and is what led him to become the alcoholic nihilist he is now. Even though he knows he can never get Diane back thanks to the Omega Device, Diane's death still haunts Rick. And while he's had hookups, he never remarried. This demonstrates how much Diane meant to Rick and how in his eyes, Diane is irreplaceable.

As seen in "Hot Rick", Rick has a memory representation of her have a quaint memory of his wife practicing shooting a gun before he proceeds to separate Memory Diane from his mind as a way to move on. However, Memory Rick learns of her existence and manipulates Beth into leading him to her but it also leads to Beth spiraling out of control until Rick stops her. Rick later claims he destroyed the memories but really constructed Memory Diane and Rick their own independent ant farm where they can be together forever and shoots it into space, warning the duo that he will explode it if they ever try to leave. The two accepted this arrangement, content to have found each other. Diane thanks Rick for his act, as he bids farewell to her.

ADVERTISEMENT Friends

Mr. Poopybutthole

Like the rest of his family, Rick has a good relationship with Mr. Poopybutthole; during the events of Total Rickall, their relationship takes a blow when Beth shoots Mr. Poopybutthole after thinking he was a parasite. Rick tended to him after he was shot, telling him to hang on. Although Mr. Poopybutthole survived, he didn't want to speak with Rick or the family. By the time of "One Crew Over the Crewcoo's Morty", they are at least back on speaking terms as seen when they agree to a heist together.

In "How Poopy Got His Poop Back" Rick takes Mr. Poopybutthole for a guys' night out with their friends to talk with him about his drinking and how he's been mooching off of the family as of late. However, Mr. Poopybutthole eventually calls Rick out for not simply being honest with him which Rick does admit before trying to help him get back with his wife, which fails spectacularly. At the end, Mr. Poopybutthole agrees to move out of the Smith house, and their strained friendship seems to be restored in full.

Birdperson

Rick considers Birdperson to be his best friend, having done lots of things together - like being a part of the same band, committing terrorism against the Galactic Federation together. Birdperson attended Rick's party in the episode Ricksy Business. He showed concern for Rick's well being, telling Morty that "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub" means "I am in great pain, please help me". He invited Rick to his wedding in the episode The Wedding Squanchers. In the same episode, Rick was shown to be very torn apart when he saw Birdperson die. Birdperson also has a picture of Rick holding a baby Morty, though as this was Birdperson of Dimension C-131, it is possible that the Rick and Morty were those of that reality.

In "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri", he kills Tammy for killing his best friend. When Rick learned of Birdperson's fate as a cyborg, Rick was upset and tried to cheer him up by revealing his killing of Tammy but this caused him to be attacked. Prior to this, Rick called Birdperson his best friend but did mention he wondered who would win in a fight between them, as Birdperson called him a terrible friend. Birdperson would have killed Rick if he hadn't been saved by his family and Birdperson was shut off. In the end, Rick salvaged his incapacitated friend and keeps him in the garage lab, presumably to help him but he is wise to keep the latter shut off until he is calmed.

In "Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort", Rick is left home alone and finally finishes repairing Birdperson, fully removing his cybernetic enhancements. Although his body is repaired, Birdperson's mind is damaged; he has hidden his conscious mind inside of his unconscious mind. Thus, Rick has no choice but to enter it. During this time, we see several memories revealing how Rick and Birdperson met and how their friendship developed. The two first met at some sort of alien music festival, where they also met Squanchy after getting high. The three became friends after this and went on to fight the Galactic Federation, eventually going on to participate in The Battle of Blood Ridge. Rick and Birdperson fought together and won the battle with ease. After the fighting was done, Rick offered to take Birdperson away from the fighting to an alternate universe, an offer he apparently shared with almost nobody; Birdperson was the exception because he mattered to Rick. Birdperson turned it down, stating their relationship was not worth his integrity. This clearly hurt Rick, who left whilst insulting Birdperson.

Memory Rick, who was observing this interaction alongside our Rick, questioned why the latter would bother risking his life for Birdperson after what he did. Rick tells Memory Rick "because you love him" which, of course, means Rick himself loves Birdperson. This is a rare instance of Rick expressing his affection for someone. Notably, it was done without the assistance of intoxication.

Once Rick escaped a now healed Birdperson's mind, the two had a brief conversation. Earlier in the episode, Rick had discovered Birdperson and Tammy had a child who was now locked up by the Galactic Federation; the memory had been removed from his mind by them during his time as Phoenixperson. However, it appears Rick wasn't planning on telling Birdperson, as having a child would prevent him from spending time with Rick. Whilst this shows the lengths Rick will go to just to hang out with Birdperson, it causes the latter to leave disappointed, telling Rick he'll see him when he sees him.

In "How Poopy Got His Poop Back" Rick and Birdperson's friendship appears to have been fully restored as the two along with their other friends go on bar crawls and have fun with each other in order to help with a coping Mr. Poopybutthole, with Birdperson admitting it was "canonical" to see Rick.

In "Valkyrick", during an adventure with Space Beth against the Federation, Rick calls in Birdperson and Birddaughter for backup in what he calls "Take Your Daughter To Work Day." Birdperson thanks Rick for the invite, and the two commerce over their difficulties in bonding with their daughters.

ADVERTISEMENT Unity

At some point in the past Rick encountered Unity when the latter only had the collective consciousness of a small town, and the had a relationship that apparently ended on bad terms.

In "Auto Erotic Assimilation" the two meet after a very long time and waste no time rekindling their romance. Unfortunately as time goes on it's become increasingly clear that the two bring out the worst in each other when they are together. Afterward Unity breaks up with Rick, who is so hurt by this that he returns to Earth and nearly commits suicide, before passing out drunk.

As shown from “Air Force Wong”, Unity still cares a great deal for Rick despite how they ended their relationship and tried to check up on him multiple times and later went to Earth when they heard that he had begun to hunt for “Rick Prime once again. When Rick continually ignores them, they resort to the extreme by taking over the entire state of Virginia. Rick is less than happy to see Unity due to how she ghosted him after the last time they met and constantly brushes off any concerns she had for him. Although, Rick still clearly cares for Unity as he immediately tells the President to back off when he insults Unity. Later he apologizes to Unity for ignoring her concern, however it was too little too late as Unity says they can't trust Rick anymore after all he did, as he once again goes back to Earth to wallow in his sadness and self-inflicted misery.

MORTY'S CATCHPHRASE

Mortimer Chauncey[13] "Morty" Smith Sr. of the Prime Dimension is one of the two titular main protagonists (alongside Rick Sanchez) of Rick and Morty. He was often incorrectly identified as Morty C-137 until Season 5.

Morty is Rick Sanchez's grandson and often tags along on his various misadventures as a sidekick whilst attending Harry Herpson High School along with his sister, Summer.[14]

Morty began as an incredibly anxious and submissive teenage boy who was believed to have low intelligence by those around him[14]. He had little say in the adventures he went on with Rick and was often forced into participating, leading to Morty becoming a nervous wreck after experiencing many traumas[15], including the total destruction of his home dimension[16]. However, as time passed, Morty gradually gained confidence and became a more independent person rather than a mere sidekick to Rick. This newfound confidence not only made Morty more capable, but also allowed him to occasionally distance himself from Rick and his nefarious actions, although Morty still chooses to stand by Rick whenever necessary.

It has since been revealed in "Rickmurai Jack" and "Solaricks" that Rick (C-137) is not Morty's true grandfather, as Morty is actually the biological grandson of Rick Prime, a version of Rick who murdered C-137's family. After decades of failing to get revenge on Rick Prime, Rick eventually arrived in Morty's dimension to take his place[17], kickstarting the series and thus Rick and Morty's adventures.

ADVERTISEMENT Biography

Currently, Morty is 18 years old ADVERTISEMENT Abilities

Combat experience: Whilst Morty remains untrained, he still has a capable amount of combat experience retained from his adventures with Rick. He is able to hold his own, usually with the assistance of Rick's technology, against hordes of enemies.[34][35] Intelligence: Morty was considered unintelligent at the series' inception[14], but has grown to have knowledge of the universe, the beings that reside in it and the inner workings of Rick's gadgets.[36] He also shows considerable emotional intelligence and assists Rick through dark periods of his life, most notably during Rick's search for Rick Prime and the events immediately following the latter's death. Immortality: Similar to Rick, Morty has several backup bodies ready to transfer his consciousness into should he meet an untimely fate.[35] Vehicular transformation: Rick has embedded Morty's DNA with nanites that enable him to transform into a car[37] as well as a sailing boat.[38] Morty is unable to control this and occasionally transforms into a car or a boat randomly. This had catastrophic results when he turned into a boat and was subsequently sailed out to sea by two bullies, where Morty suddenly transformed back into a human. Unable to turn back into a boat, the trio were marooned, with one of Morty's new friends dying from illness, until Rick eventually rescued Morty.

ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

MortyTransparent Morty is a 18 teenage boy. He has a medium complexion, short brown hair that "looks like a helmet" and a small, droopy nose. Morty's head is round and roughly in the shape of a circle, unlike many other characters in the show. He also doesn't have a visible neck. He typically wears a yellow shirt, blue pants, and white shoes.

Morty also has a pronounced stutter (even when calm) and his voice constantly breaks due to his effects of puberty. As the series has progressed, Morty's stutter seems to occur less frequently. However, it still arises when Morty is under great stress. Personality

Morty is a good-natured, and impressionable boy who can be somewhat easily manipulated. He has been described as 'challenged' and has difficulty in school. He also has a pronounced stutter. Despite his apparent lack of intellect, Morty has shown to be a good listener and follows directions well. These traits make him the perfect sidekick to Rick.[14] He is interested in Jessica, a student in his math class. Like many boys his age, he spends a good deal of time masturbating.

Morty may sometimes act spineless, but he has shown bravery and quick-wittedness in the face of adversity, such as leading the extraction effort out of Anatomy Park, and using a pair of grappling boots to escape the guards in Intergalactic Customs.[1] Morty is also quite responsible for his age, refusing to kill an alien child in the episode "Raising Gazorpazorp".

While Rick, Beth, and Jerry have all expressed their belief that Morty is unintelligent, there is substantial evidence to the contrary. When the group at Anatomy Park are attacked by Gonorrhea, he comes up with the idea to exploit the gas building up in the body to defeat the disease. He is able to grasp complex concepts, such as the multiverse of infinite realities, when Rick explains them to him, and is quick to notice Rick's hypocrisy regarding the morality of his microverse in "The Ricks Must Be Crazy." His hidden intelligence also continues to be an asset in season 2. Impressively, Morty is able to distract Fart, a being capable of reading minds, by requesting that he sing. This gives Morty time to kill him with an antimatter gun, clearly surprising the telepathic being. In "Total Rickall," Morty is the first to realize that the alien parasites are only capable of creating positive memories. He was also able to, while inside the Teenyverse, find the Tree People, be accepted into their group, learn their language and culture, and work his way up the ranks until he had the ability to command them, all within, from their perspective according to Rick, a few months.

In "Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender" showed that Morty is well versed in high-tech technology, he decided to defuse a neutrino bomb capable of destroying an entire planet and coped with it perfectly, but Rick still helped him to defuse it to the end. Most likely he was taught to do it by Rick or himself. In "Forgetting Sarick Mortshall" Morty created a portal fluid, based on soda from the remains of the original portal fluid, with this version of the portal fluid, the portals function, but not properly and cannot close, due to his negligence, Morty could, in fact, ruin himself, for one Rick from the Citadel made a toxic version of the liquid and died from it ("The Ricklantis Mixup"), his math was not correct, even Rick himself later told Morty that such a liquid was toxic.

In the same episode, Morty accidentally poured a version of his portal fluid into his palm and a portal opened to one man - Nick, who was Rick's former partner, Morty became friends with him, but then betrayed him as Nick turned out to be a dangerous psychopath, and after Morty's betrayal, Nick was going to kill him and began to choke Morty right next to the train, Morty and Nick were connected by portals, therefore Morty decided to get rid of him in an ingenious way, he cuts off his hand with the portal under the train wheel and drops it into the portal that was in Nick's thigh, creating a singularity that destroys it. Despite this, he thinks poorly of his own intelligence, referring to Jerry and himself as "idiots" when Scroopy Noopers questions the intelligence of the members of the Smith Family in "Something Ricked This Way Comes." This is probably because of his impressionable nature; since Rick and his parents tell Morty he's stupid, and because he doesn't perform well in school, he has a low opinion of himself.

Despite his malleable nature, Morty has the strength to be able to stand up to Rick. In the episode "Meeseeks and Destroy", Morty directly calls out Rick on his cynical nature. He leads his own adventure with the direct goal of helping villagers.[15] His malleable nature makes him echo Ricks words and speech, especially after Rick insults Summer, though he has a tendency to become hysterically upset at her.

Morty is shown to have repressed anger issues these anger issues have caused him to become hysterical and homicidal which is most notably seen in "Look Who's Purging Now". In "A Rickconvenient Mort" Morty killed the members of the Tina-Teers, in order to free his girlfriend Planetina. To one of the members - Eddie, Morty bit off his finger and used a ring of fire against him, which led to his death, after off-screen tore the meat from his head and threw the skull to his colleagues, then dealt with them by taking possession of their rings. Most likely, he inherited the mental state from his mother, because Morty is prone to sadism, and Beth in childhood was with sadistic inclinations, asked her father to do dangerous things for her to interfere with the neighbors. In spite of his sadistic and homicidal tendencies, Morty has his limits as he will only attack individuals who attack first or are out to get him but never innocents.

On a few evident occasions, Morty's pubescent curiosity and sexuality has caused some misdemeanours, such as having sexual relations with a breeding robot that birthed a Morty-Gazorpazorp hybrid in "Raising Gazorpazorp", or on another occasion in the episode "Rickdependence Spray", where he pleasures himself with a horse reproduction system which caused unexpected armageddon from his own sperm, impregnating Summer's egg cell, thus creating a "Giant Incest Baby".

As shown several times throughout the series, Morty is extremely irresponsible. Although (for the most part) Morty has good intentions, Morty has made several decisions without considering the possible long-term consequences, causing their choices to backfire putting he, her family, and everyone in general in completely unnecessary and easily avoidable dangers. For example, in "Raising Gazorpazorp", Morty had sex with an alien sex doll and ended up having a half-Gazorpazorpian son who belonged to a violent alien race with an insatiable thirst for blood, war and destruction, which almost led to a massacre and possibly world domination. In "Mortynight Run", he tried to save Fart only to discover in the end that he wanted to bring his race and exterminate all other life forms, forcing Morty to kill him and making all the destruction and deaths caused along the way completely useless. In "The Vat of Acid Episode", he asked Rick to make a time-saving device that Morty used without bothering to know how it worked, resulting in him murdering countless alternate versions of himself, furthermore, when Rick brought all the realities together, all the damage done by Morty came together in a single dimension, forcing him to fake his own death to save himself. In "Rattlestar Ricklactica", he tried to help a race of alien snakes, but instead, they joined forces to try to exterminate Morty and his entire family because they saw them as a possible threat. He tried to save the environmental hero Planetina who he fell in love with, however, he killed her previous owners and with no one to control her, she became increasingly uncontrollable and unstable, forcing Morty to abandon her. Had sex with a horse stud from his mother's work, where the sperm turned into man-eating monsters and this eventually ended up creating a giant incestuous baby. In more extreme cases, Morty's actions, intentional or not, led to the extinction of two entire civilizations. This is also probably why his family doesn't listen to Morty's ideas, or take anything he says seriously most of the time.

However, from season 5 and onward Morty has begun to mature beyond being a sidekick and has had his fair share of adventures separate of Rick. Furthermore, he shows a greater inclination of standing up for himself both to Rick and the rest of his family. This is especially shown in Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion where after constantly being put down by Summer and being unfairly kicked off the team, he takes it in stride and is quickly shown to have brushed it off.

Morty, despite being fourteen, has a mental age of several lifetimes. This is due to living in a time freeze for six months along with Rick and Summer[39][40], playing fifty-five years inside of the arcade game Roy: A Life Well Lived[41] (the game is designed to cause memory blur after a play session, meaning Morty only has a vague recollection of this life), living for several more months inside of the Teenyverse[37], an especially long video-game like reality save[42], growing up for several decades as part of a manifestation inside of the Fear Hole[43] (the Fear Hole as an entity is also designed to cause memory blur related to an individual's experiences within it), spending seventeen years trapped inside a Matrix along with Summer[44] (his memories were later wiped by Rick using the Mindblower gun) and living out several lifetimes inside the Hollow Earth[45].

Rick

The only influence I can see Rick having is that, for the first time in his life, Morty has a friend. BETH TO JERRY

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-04h29m33s97 Morty and Rick disagreeing. Rick is Morty's maternal grandfather; he and Morty have a close relationship overall. They come across more as best friends than grandson and grandfather, with Morty addressing Rick on a first-name basis and only adding the grandpa out of gratitude, respect or when he wants something from him. According to Beth, Morty doesn't have any friends, implying that Rick may be Morty's only friend. This could be a reason as to why Morty puts up with Rick's selfish and exploitative behavior.

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-04h33m02s175 Morty and Rick having a good time. Morty at first had a very one-sided relationship with Rick, helping him out despite usually ending up in harm's way or nearly killed. However, Morty does have his limits, as he will stand up to Rick when he is pushed over the edge - for example, when both of his legs are broken in "Pilot", or when Rick destroys the human race in "Rick Potion No. 9". Rick will help Morty out if it is beneficial to him, as in "Lawnmower Dog", in which he tricks Mr. Goldenfold into giving Morty A's in math so that Morty can help him more on his adventures. However, it is implied that Rick does indeed love Morty, as shown in "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind", when Rick starts crying at his memories of Morty, but generally he refrains from expressing it so that Morty does not become, as he puts it, "cocky".

From "Rick Potion No. 9" onwards, Morty no longer lives in his original dimension. Rick created a love potion designed to make Jessica attracted to Morty. However, it accidentally spread due to Jessica having the flu, and when Rick carelessly added various "remedies" it turned the humans of Earth into hideous mutants. The potion did not affect those closely related to Morty (up to two generations, as Rick is spared despite being Morty's grandfather and not immediate family), thus the rest of the Smith's remain unmutated. The mutants are described by Rick as "Cronenburgs" (named after Canadian horror film maker David Cronenburg). Instead of reverting the mutations himself, Rick takes him and Morty to an alternate dimension where their counterparts did, in a method undisclosed to the audience. Just before Rick and Morty arrived, their new dimension's counterparts were killed, caused by an explosion from a machine being engineered by the Rick counterpart. Rick C-137 and Morty bury their dead counterparts in the Smith's backyard, and secretly replace them.

In "Ricksy Business", after Rick and Summer both throw parties at the same time and trash their house, Morty is presented with an opportunity to permanently end all future adventures with Rick. Morty claims that he shouldn't care that he wouldn't be able to travel with Rick anymore, but still decides to have Rick fix everything, instead of leaving him passed out on the couch, implying that while Rick's actions do affect him, he would rather continue having adventures as opposed to not having them.

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-04h27m25s140 Morty upset over Rick's hurtful words. Morty thinks that Rick is "petty", and resents the fact that Rick has trouble "rolling with the punches" when put into a situation he isn't comfortable with; something that Morty does on a near-daily basis. Morty also seems to take what Rick says about him very seriously, as he becomes teary-eyed when Rick calls Morty "as dumb as he (Rick) is smart" in "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind". He is also very upset and angered at the idea that Mortys only exist to be human cloaking devices for Ricks, and resents the fact that Rick could just replace his Morty at any time with another Morty from a different reality. Despite all this, Rick still believes that Morty is "the Morty-est Morty", since he views himself as "the Rick-est Rick".

It was revealed in season 5 that Morty is starting to grow sick and tired of Rick's constant insults and is far more willing to stand up in defense of himself.

In spite of all the physical and mental trauma that Rick has put him through in their adventures, Morty still considers Rick his grandfather and his friend. In "Forgetting Sarick Mortshall" Morty was heartbroken when Rick decided to leave Morty, claiming he would be better off without him. This lead him to two different attempts to get Rick back in "Rickmurai Jack" and he later proves his loyalty to his grandfather when he refuses to join with Evil Morty in favor of Rick.

Later in "Solaricks", with Rick tempted to continue his quest for revenge against Rick Prime, Morty gets Rick to stop by telling him that he considers Rick his actual Grandfather, not Rick Prime. This ultimately convinces Rick to abandon his vengeance, at least for the time being. Conversely, it appears that Rick Prime, despite being willing to kill him, does have a degree of attachment to Morty, feeling obligated to make some small talk with him when he thought he met his original Morty.

In "Ricktional Mortpoon's Rickmas Mortcation", Rick replaces himself with Rickbot in order to continue his search for Rick Prime. When Morty continually expresses his anger at his Grandfather for tricking him, Rick shoots back that Morty called him boring, and clearly stopped respecting him and walks away. However Rick still returns to save Morty (and inadvertently The President's) from succumbing to the vaccum of space. While Rickbot dies, he reveals that Rick built him to be around the Morty and to make him happy and show that Rick truly cares for his Grandson's happiness. Rick also admits he should have included Morty, and promises to work together to hunt down Rick Prime as their arc for season 7.

During the events of "Unmortricken", Rick and Morty continue their hunt of Rick Prime which involves teaming up with Evil Morty in order to take him down. Before setting off to kill his arch-nemesis, Rick makes a point to leave Morty behind for his own safety though he insists on coming along anyway, and is clearly annoyed and angered that Evil Morty brought him along to the battlefield anyway. After Rick Prime's death, Morty comforts him with a hug as Rick questions what to do with his life.

After killing his nemesis, Rick is despondent about what course in life he should take, so in "Rickfending Your Mort", Morty tries to jump-start him by using his Morty-coupons in order to go on an adventure like old times. While Rick questions the legitimacy of them, after dealing with the Observer, he calmly agrees to compromise on them for about 80%. Furthermore, during their trial it shows countless clips of the duo simply having a good time together, even if the morality behind the actions were a bit murky. After all is said and done, Rick does acknowledge and thank Morty for trying to get him back into the groove of things, and the two set of a new adventure with Rick's love for them restored.

As revealed in "Fear No Mort", Rick keeps a photograph of Morty in his wallet. The same episode also has Rick listen to and respect Morty's warnings, choosing not to jump into the fear hole, and was actually about to hug him before Morty rejected it due to seeing it as a hint he was still in the Fear Hole.

In the later seasons of the show, Rick is shown to recognize his influence on Morty and seems to want to better himself for the benefit of their relationship. In "Rickuiem Mort a Dream", after Morty accidentally destroys a brewery in the sub-basement Rick was working in, an angered Rick yells at him, leading to Morty running to his bedroom, crying, while Rick tries to correct his wording, implying he didn't want to hurt Morty's feelings. By the end of the episode, while the Sympathid feeding on Rick, he tells Morty that it's important for him to not empathize with Rick and to "heed [his] red flags so [Morty] doesn't get hurt Evil Morty SIGN IN TO SAVE

If you’ve ever been sick of him, you’ve been evil, too. EVIL MORTY EXPLAINING HIS BELIEFS TO MORTY

Mortimer Chauncey "Morty" Smith of Dimension 7𐤓ト⊇V, better known as Evil Morty and formerly President Morty, is the main antagonist of Rick and Morty.

He is one of the many versions of Morty from across the multiverse, but unique in being notably amoral, ruthless and displaying intelligence rivalling that of Rick. He initially appeared alongside Evil Rick, who was hunting down and killing several Ricks throughout the multiverse. It was later revealed Evil Rick was merely being controlled by Evil Morty, although he remained undetected and travelled to the Citadel by posing as one of the Mortys liberated from Evil Rick's lair.

He served as the first Morty to be democratically elected President of The Citadel, and had consolidated his power in a coup by eliminating any disagreeable Ricks in the Shadow Council of Ricks. He later used this rise to power to fabricate an escape from the Central Finite Curve, destroying almost the entire Citadel and killing countless Ricks and Mortys in the process. Despite his hope to be rid of Rick once and for all, he finds himself dragged into Rick C-137 and Morty Prime's circle of influence, reluctantly cooperating with them as they face off against the bigger existential threat of Rick Prime and the Omega Device.

Evil Morty assisted Rick C-137 in taking down Rick Prime, and stole the plans for the Omega Device in the process. He left after warning Rick to leave him alone, lest he use the Omega Device to end the "Rick experiment" once and for all. He later returned to blackmail Rick into helping with his plans until Rick destroys his version of the Omega Device, ensuing a fierce battle. Evil Morty uses a time device he reverse engineered from Rick's time travel box to freeze time, gloating that he is willing to use time travel unlike Ricks. However, the Time Cops arrive and arrest Evil Morty for messing with time, which was Rick's plan all along as he knew Evil Morty would be cocky enough to mess with time. Evil Morty is then sent to an unknown time prison.

ADVERTISEMENT Biography

ADVERTISEMENT First moves

As revealed in "Unmortricken", Evil Morty was once another Morty, constantly mistreated and dragged on adventures. One day, he grew fed up with his Rick and got him blackout drunk while he engineered a device that would allow him to control Rick, to be hidden underneath a black eyepatch. He scalped him and attached the device to his brain. After that, Evil Morty teleported to the Morty Agency in the Citadel, killed the employees and erased himself from the database. Apparently, his original goal was to destroy the rule of Ricks. He built/occupied the base of operations on the planet Crustula and went about kidnapping Ricks and Mortys: Ricks for information about the Citadel and absorbing their knowledge and Mortys to use them as cloaking devices to hide the brain waves of his Rick from the Citadel. He eventually found out about the Central Finite Curve.

Eyepatchevilmorty Evil Morty wearing an eye patch.[2] He first appears in "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind", where at first it appears he is simply a sidekick to Evil Rick, assisting him in killing twenty-seven known Ricks from various dimensions and capturing, torturing, and enslaving hundreds of Mortys to use them as cloaking devices to hide from the Citadel. The reveal that he was the one in control occurs at the episode's conclusion: a Rick officer conducting an autopsy on Evil Rick's corpse discovers the receiver, while Evil Morty in the Citadel quietly removes the eyepatch and smashes the transmitter under his foot so they can't track him down. Earlier Evil Morty hacked Rick C-137's portal gun and uploaded his own portal travel history and sent it to the Citadel authorities to frame C-137 so they could arrest him for killing and kidnapping of Ricks and Mortys. Then Rick C-137 escaped and found out the source of the hack to go to Evil Morty's controlled territory by getting caught. Evil Morty downloaded Rick C-137's brain and found out that he created the Central Finite Curve. To escape it he needed to get access to all the resources of the Citadel.

ADVERTISEMENT Rise to power

A year later, in "The Ricklantis Mixup," now going by the alias “Candidate Morty” (survived the Citadel battle in "The Rickshank Rickdemption" or was absent from the Citadel at that time), he secretly develops an alter-ego to become a presidential candidate in an election for the newly democratic Citadel of Ricks. His candidacy is considered a joke by the Ricks of the Citadel due to being a Morty who no one takes seriously, including his Campaign Manager Morty. But, after making a rousing speech about the class divide between the various Ricks and Mortys on the Citadel during the debate, he quickly earned praise and support. Shortly after the speech, he promptly fires Campaign Manager Morty.

EvilMorty The former-Candidate Morty, now President of the Citadel, snaps for the guard to kill most of the council. Campaign Manager Morty is depressed and drinking heavily in a bar when an Investigator Rick gives him a file revealing Candidate Morty's past as Eye Patch Morty and true nature as being the one to have been controlling "Evil Rick". Horrified at the truth, Campaign Manager Morty tries to assassinate Evil Morty to prevent him from winning the election and is quickly arrested. Unfortunately for him, Evil Morty survived the assassination attempt and won.

The files Campaign Manager Morty had. Although Campaign Manager Morty tries to reveal Candidate Morty's true identity as Evil Morty to the authorities, he is executed by being ejected into space with the file. The now “President Morty” meets with Rick Leaders on a shadow council of Ricks, who tell him that they were the real power in the Citadel long before the Council of Ricks and that he'll have no real power. He asks for those who feel this way to raise their hands; he snaps his fingers and all the Ricks with raised hands are swiftly executed. The remaining two instantly back down and cooperate. Evil Morty then sets his plans into motion by eliminating the old school that partnered Mortys with Ricks, creating new Citadel police rules that allowed a Rick police officer to go free after killing his Morty partner, and turning himself into a dictator. He creates new banners and throws every Rick or Morty that opposed him out of the airlock. Evil Morty begins Dimensional Drive's construction to escape the Curve.

Evil Morty appears in "Never Ricking Morty", where he is in an anthology created by Story Lord. He is seen with his trademark eyepatch along with cyborg arm and a cape. He leads his army against Rick and Morty.

ADVERTISEMENT Achieving freedom

Evil Morty— can we stop flattering this guy? His plan was to monologue and fuck off. He basically threw a tantrum to announce he was quitting Twitter. RICK C-137

In "Rickmurai Jack", Evil Morty invites Rick C-137 and Morty to have dinner with him. He asks Rick to tell him how to bring down the Central Finite Curve, but Rick refuses. He implies to Morty that Rick C-137 helped create the Citadel, and says it's a shame that Rick won't help. Despite this, he should have what he needs anyway; Rick's brain was scanned during the appetizers (he had kept previous scans taken by Evil Rick in "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind"). Just to make sure, he checks Rick's memories on the brain-scanning device planted in the dining room. Morty apologizes to Rick for bringing him to the Citadel. Evil Morty expresses disdain for Morty's sell-out nature, but says that it would be pointless to hate him for it; Mortys are "bred" by the Citadel for their forgiveness. The Citadel has become a self-perpetuating market for Mortys, with Citadel Ricks manipulating events to ensure Jerrys and Beths end up together and creating endless Morty clones from their offspring.

Rick tries to shoot Evil Morty, but the shot is blocked by a force-shield; Evil Morty tells the guards to let Rick and Morty go. Rick opens a portal to leave, but after seeing Evil Morty's smug face realizes that it's a trap; Evil Morty has hacked his portal gun, again. After defeating the guards, Evil Morty tells Rick that he can't run from his past. Rick shoots at Evil Morty again, but the force-shield is still up. Evil Morty asks Rick why he thought the shield would be down the second time. Rick says it's just him expressing disapproval at his dialogue.

Rick C-137 and his Morty encounter Evil Morty again at the Citadel's Dimensional Drive as he is preparing to escape the Central Finite Curve. Evil Morty explains to Morty that Ricks see themselves as the underdogs, and in this way justify all of their heinous actions to themselves. They built the Central Finite Curve, a multidimensional wall that separates all the infinite universes where Rick isn't the smartest man alive from all the infinite universes where he is the smartest man alive. Evil Morty says that what makes him "evil" is being sick of Rick and his toxic, immature and sociopathic behavior. He professes in wanting to leave it all behind, and that any Morty who has ever been sick of Rick has also been 'Evil Morty'. Essentially, he is destroying the Central Finite Curve and the Citadel to free himself of Rick.

Evil Morty activating his Eyepatch. Evil Morty activates his Dimensional Drive protocol, powering it with the blood of Operation Phoenix clones to create an opening in the Central Finite Curve. The Citadel starts to break apart and Evil Morty offers Morty a chance to escape with him. Rick tells Morty it's a better deal than staying, but Morty chooses to remain with Rick. It is soon revealed that Evil Morty anticipated this and revealed the only thing on the ship besides the seat is a toilet. As Rick and Morty flee the chamber together, Evil Morty gets into his small spaceship. He flies through the opening in the Central Finite Curve and uses his own portal gun, one filled with a unique golden fluid.

In "Solaricks", it is shown Evil Morty's plan included destroying travel with Rick's model of portal gun. However, Rick C-137 wrote off the idea of taking Evil Morty seriously, claiming that he acted like he was quitting social media.

ADVERTISEMENT Teaming up with Rick and Morty

In "Unmortricken", Evil Morty continues on adventures beyond the Central Finite Curve, gathering resources that will allow him to live a peaceful life in his space mansion. Unfortunately, his peaceful existence is disturbed due to Rick and Morty messing with dimensions within the Central Finite Curve in a bid to track down Rick Prime. Annoyed, Evil Morty confronts the two and gives Rick a tip to speed up the process, but is ultimately dragged into a Rick and Morty adventure when they are teleported into a prison set up by Rick Prime. Despite Morty's own objections, Evil Morty and Rick team up to survive the prison, using their combined knowledge and skillset to outsmart Rick Prime's traps, and cooperatively hacking their portal guns to facilitate a joint escape. In the process, they learn that Rick Prime developed a weapon called the Omega Device that is capable of killing people across infinity. After their escape, Rick runs off to get his revenge on Rick Prime. Evil Morty elects to follow, knowing the Omega Device is too dangerous to allow to exist, and convinces Morty to join by advising him that Rick will not handle succeeding in his revenge well.

They arrive at Rick Prime's lair, and Evil Morty teams up with the two to defeat Rick Prime, at one point swapping clothes with Morty and feigning a "reunion" between Rick Prime and Morty, who is technically his real grandson, before using his resources to incapacitate Rick Prime. Dragging him into another room, he conducts a brain scan and downloads the schematics for the Omega Device. Rick Prime, impressed by Evil Morty's intelligence, suggests they could become partners like Batman and Robin. Evil Morty retorts he does not need a "Robin" before pulling Rick's body in, reviving him, and offering a chance to kill Rick Prime. After shutting down the Omega Device, he comments on Rick's dissatisfaction at getting revenge, before warning him and Morty not to bother him again by pointing out he now has the power to kill Rick across every dimension if he so chooses. When Morty points out he could just do it anyway, Evil Morty replies that actually using the Omega Device would cause him more headaches when he just wants to be left alone. He begrudgingly admits, having gotten the chance to work with him, that Rick has proven himself different from other Ricks. He muses he could find that useful one day, though he reiterates his warning that they not come after him as he leaves.

ADVERTISEMENT Arrest

Evil Morty returns in "There's Something About Morty", where it is revealed he has been blackmailing Rick C-137 into helping him defend the Central Finite Curve from various threats, by rebuilding the Omega Device and rigging it with a dead man's switch to wipe out Rick, Beth, Summer and Jerry should he be harmed. At one point during their partnership, Rick shows Evil Morty some of his time travel technology, prompting Evil Morty to make his own Time Stopper.

When the Collective approaches the Curve, Evil Morty calls on Rick again, only for Morty Prime to find out about the arrangement and join the adventure. After the Collective has been defeated, the three go to a diner where Evil Morty mocks his Prime self while Rick goes to the bathroom. Confident in his superiority, Evil Morty allows the two to depart until the next adventure and heads back to his base, only to find it destroyed with the Omega Device's blueprints deleted and his number blocked by Rick, Rick having taken advantage of Evil Morty's confidence to use the Omega Device on its own blueprints. Evil Morty eventually tracks Rick and Morty down to a Bunker Dimension where he engages in a protracted fight against Rick that shatters his force field and empties his arsenal. Evil Morty then tries to take control of Rick's arsenal but is overpowered by the rest of the Smith family, prompting him to activate his Time Stopper. Before Evil Morty can take advantage of this, he, as Rick predicted, is arrested by the Time Cops. After Rick apologizes for Morty "making it weird", Evil Morty is sent to time jail.

ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

Evil Morty looks identical to most Mortys, except that he wears a black eye patch on his right eye as seen in "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind", and, "Unmortricken".

Introducing himself as a candidate in "The Ricklantis Mixup", he wears a grey suit, white dress shirt, and blue tie and as president of the Ricks' citadel, he is dressed in a black suit with a red tie.

In "Never Ricking Morty", a version of Evil Morty is seen in a potential story created by the Story Train. He is seen with his trademark eyepatch, but also has a cybernetic arm, a large red cape with a matching glove on his left hand and some sort of trident.

In "Rickmurai Jack", he wears a short sleeve black shirt with a logo on it and long black pants then later a yellow and black spacesuit. Personality

Evil Morty ripping off his eyepatch exposing wiring from his eye. Evil Morty, as his name would imply, is cold, ruthless, manipulative, sadistic, cunning, and exceptionally intelligent—almost mirroring most Ricks and even exceeding them at times; the difference is that Evil Morty doesn't really boast about his intelligence and usually does what he does to complete his goal of escaping the Central Finite Curve. As shown in "Unmortricken", he was once like any other Morty, only he was finally pushed over the edge by Rick's mistreatment, leading him to develop an intense hatred of all Ricks. Surprisingly, he also seems to hold a disdain, or at the very least a lack of empathy, for Mortys due to seeing them as unwaveringly subservient to Ricks.

Unlike other Mortys, Evil Morty speaks in a serious, monotone voice, and lacks a stutter in his speech. Evil Morty's ability to control Evil Rick and become a president shows that, in terms of logical intelligence (as opposed to emotional intelligence), he is much smarter than the average Morty. Ultimately, he outplays even Rick C-137 and breaks through the Finite Curve.

When "Evil Rick" (actually Evil Morty controlling his form) noticed Rick C-137 crying over his memories, he taunts him by saying that Ricks don't care about Mortys. This suggests Evil Morty believes all Ricks treat their Mortys like disposable and replaceable objects, which is what drove him to hate other Ricks. In "Rickmurai Jack" he repeats this, believing and even justifying that Mortys are only bred by Ricks for camouflage and to feel superior, justifying this by showing how Ricks continuously force infinite Jerrys and Beths to be together and create endless Morty clones from their offspring. However, after working with the series' main Rick directly in "Unmortricken", he acknowledges that Rick C-137 is different from the other Ricks, though he mainly views that as something he could use in the future rather than a virtue.

He also acknowledges his evil nature by laughing off his actions in potentially destroying the multiverse and killing trillions. He also states that he is called evil because he is the only Morty to be sick of Rick’s horrible actions and behavior on a permanent basis, unlike Morty Prime who ends up always forgiving Rick C-137.

However, despite his willingness to use, torture and kill his other selves to further his plans, he did seem to at least partially want to make things better for Mortys on the Citadel by closing the school that educates Mortys on how to be sidekicks for Ricks and even free Cop Rick, who "went soft" and seemingly came to detest the mistreatment of Mortys. He also simply incarcerated additional Mortys he and Evil Rick captured instead of killing them (though this was most likely to use them as spares in case the tortured Mortys hiding his presence from the Council of Ricks died from the extreme torture). He also surprisingly teamed up with C-137 and Morty Prime when Rick's attempt to find Rick Prime disturbed his peace outside the Finite Curve, instead of simply killing them. It's also implied that Evil Morty suffers from PTSD from killing so many Ricks as he understood how Rick C-137's revenge against Rick Prime felt empty as all paths of vengeance feel in the end.

In his partnership with Rick C-137, Evil Morty seemed to enjoy being the dominant party in the Rick/Morty relationship and that the relationship gave him an opportunity to work with someone on relatively equal footing intelligence and competence wise. Conversely he had a large superiority complex towards his Prime self, viewing him as "less than nothing". Rick C-137 and Morty Prime however suspected that this was a cover for Evil Morty's obsession with Rick and that the relationship was "real" to Evil Morty while Rick had only ever seen it as blackmail.

Regarding his relationship with his other family members, Evil Morty appears to not have any forms of attachment to them, as seen when he had no qualms in taking a version of them hostage, and threaten to erase their counterparts from the entire Multiverse. Rick also revealed that Evil Morty would not risk destroying himself with the Omega device, showing great self-preservation.

ADVERTISEMENT Criminal Record

Evil Morty, unlike most, has no hesitation in committing atrocities in order to further his goals - whilst using his position as a Morty a cover and alibi to avoid being caught. These include:

Murder: He has killed a great number of Ricks and Mortys. Mass Murder and Framing: In "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind", he killed 27 Ricks in such a way to frame C-137 Rick. After activating his Dimensional Drive protocol, he blew up the Citadel, essentially killing almost all Rick and Morty inside. Mass Abduction, Human Trafficking, Torture, and Imprisonment: In "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind", he imprisoned and tortured hundreds and possibly thousands or millions of Mortys. It is possible he may have killed more Ricks or members of the family to obtain them. Despotism: While not necessarily a crime due to dictatorships being legal forms of government, Evil Morty was a dictator in absolute control of the Citadel of Ricks. Coup d'état: In "The Ricklantis Mixup", he mass executes the corrupt Shadow Council of Ricks in order to remove all his political opponents. Grand Theft: Evil Morty stole the plans to the Omega Device before Rick Prime passed away. Slavery: Evil Morty made Evil Rick do his deeds against his will. Destruction of legal documents: Evil Morty deleted his file from the database and possibly forged a new one. Endangerment: The aftermath of Evil Morty's destruction of the Central Finite Curve lead to realities converging and portal guns malfunctioning. Time Manipulation: Evil Morty used his knowledge of Rick's time travel in, "There's Something About Morty". This led to his arrest and incarceration in time prison.

ADVERTISEMENT Abilities

Vastly superhuman intelligence: Evil Morty has an intelligence comparable to Rick Sanchez[3]. Not only was he able to convert his original Rick into a cybernetic puppet to do his bidding, but he is the only known being who was able to hack Rick-C137's Portal Gun[4]. Evil Morty also invents his own devices, including his own Portal Gun[4]. He demonstrated his great intelligence to Rick by pointing out his method for searching for Rick Prime was flawed and helped improve it, which allowed Rick to succeed. Evil Morty then later helped modify both of their Portal Guns to escape Rick Prime's trap. Finally, Evil Morty escaped the Central Finite Curve by converting the Citadel into a device that could penetrate through it. Cybernetic enhancements: Much like Rick Sanchez, Evil Morty's body has been upgraded with technology. He was first shown to have cybernetics in his eye socket to control Evil Rick[2] and later used several weapons against Rick Prime during their battle. These include a powerful blaster in his arm and several robotic limbs that can emerge from his back. He also has a stun gun in his finger, which he used to take down Rick Prime[3]. The laser in his palm however has a twenty second cooldown after usage. Expert combatant: Evil Morty has exceptional fighting skills. When Evil Morty was dragged into Prime Rick's lair alongside Rick C-137 and Morty, he was able to keep up against Rick Prime, who has been shown to be a fierce combatant and even beat Rick C-137. Evil Morty also defeated several of Rick Prime's robotic decoys, both with and without the aid of technology[3]. Hacking: As previously stated, Evil Morty is the only person who was ever able to hack the Portal Guns used by Rick C-137. By doing so, he can prevent Ricks from escaping by changing the destination to something dangerous, such as the Blender Dimension[4]. Evil Morty was also shown hacking Rick Prime's mind to disable any potential back-ups to ensure he would not survive his impending death[3]. Manipulation: Evil Morty can be a deceiving and manipulative person and uses this to his advantage. Before he became "Evil Morty", he was a regular Morty who tricked his Rick into getting incredibly drunk, enabling Evil Morty into converting him into a cybernetic puppet that would do his bidding[3][2]. He was also able to gain control of the Citadel by winning the votes of Ricks and Mortys with rousing speeches, all the while keeping his true identity hidden. After becoming President of the Citadel, he purged anyone standing in his way, effectively seizing total unobstructed control[5]. In a smaller example, Evil Morty tricked Rick Prime by posing as Prime Morty and mimicked the latter's anxious and awkward personality, allowing him to surprise Rick Prime[3]. Multiversal erasure: At the end of Unmortricken, Evil Morty stole the plans for the Omega Device. This gives him the potential to erase someone from existence, as well as every single version of them in all dimensions. He threatened Rick and Morty to leave him alone, saying he can end the "Rick experiment" any time he wants[3]. This ability was later neutralized when Rick C-137 used the Omega Device on the Omega Device in There's Something About Morty. Force field: Evil Morty had a powerful force field covering his person. It was destroyed when Rick C-137 trapped him inside "the net", sending him to a pocket realm where a fleet of spaceships unleashed their arsenal on him, overpowering and collapsing the shield Summer Smith SIGN IN TO SAVE Summer_is_cool BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION AKA Sum-Sum (by Rick) SPECIES Human AGE 17[1] STATUS Alive OCCUPATION Student at Harry Herpson High School Shop Assistant at Needful Things (formerly) Warrior for Hemorrhage (formerly) Empress of Glorzo (formerly)

She currently acts as the older sister and the granddaughter of Morty and Rick, respectively, from the Prime Dimension and Dimension C-137. For a time, she was the only other known member of the the Smith Family to be aware of that fact.[1]

As the series has progressed, Summer became frequently involved in Rick and Morty's adventures. She and Morty often squabble and compete for Rick's affection, but also maintain a unique bond stemming from the revelation that the Morty she's with is not her original brother.

ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

Summer is a female teenager of average height, thin build, and wide hips. She has a fair complexion, shoulder-length ginger hair, an oblong-shaped face, and a pointed nose. Her most common outfit has been a bright pink tank-top, white capri-pants, and black slip-on shoes. She usually has her hair pulled back in a ponytail. Notably, she shares the exact same face as her father, Jerry.

Her pajamas consist of a white under and pink shorts more often than a pink tank top with red and white striped sweatpants. Personality

Summer has some personality traits of a typical American teenager, as she wishes to be popular among her peers, and finds the antics of her family to be dysfunctional, though she still cares for them. She's very attached to her phone and social media, taking videos of her dog Snuffles when he became super-smart, and shuddering at the thought of her father Jerry joining Facebook.

It is revealed that Summer can be jealous of the close relationship about her grandfather Rick and her brother Morty, and she can sometimes feel ignored by her grandfather. While Rick tries to keep her at a distance, the two of them have gone on their own adventures, including on the planet Gazorpazorp. Her complex of being ignored by Rick exhibits into a connection with the Devil in "Something Ricked This Way Comes".

Although Summer is not as scientifically-minded as her grandfather Rick, she does possess intelligence. Summer is shown to be a very smart and nimble-witted teen, at least compared to rest of her family. Currently, she is not as violent as Beth was when Beth was young, but enjoys fighting alongside Rick and reacts quickly to life-or-death situations.

She is also a sociopathic and narcissistic person, like her grandfather; similar to the way that Morty responds, but only when truly pushed to his limits. Summer, however, seems more readily able to access these elements of her deeper-rooted personality when subjected to her grandfather Rick's influence for a relatively short amount of time, as seen in "Rickmancing the Stone".

She is also shown to possess a strong desire for family. Her stance towards them is best summarized in her quote from "The Wedding Squanchers", where she explains that she would rather live an isolated existence without a future if it means that the family won't have to abandon Rick, saying that she believes that, "you don't love someone in hopes of a reward". In "The Rickchurian Mortydate", she is shown to reiterate this sentiment when she freely runs away with the family to a cabin in the woods so that Beth will never have to experience her existential crisis alone.

Rick

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-04h57m45s149 Summer and her grandfather Rick, after beating up Mr. Needful. Summer seems jealous of the fact that her grandfather Rick chooses to go on adventures with her brother Morty and not her. Rick claims that the opinions of his granddaughter Summer mean "very little" to him, but he still cares for her, as he admits that the top Summer wears in "Raising Gazorpazorp" is cute.

Summer gets a part-time job at a cursed antique store run by the Devil, aka Mr. Needful, just to spite Rick, in "Something Ricked This Way Comes". Despite this, Rick helps his granddaughter Summer buff up and take revenge on Mr. Needful after they get fired by him. Afterwards, the two go around beating up other people doing bad things.

In "Ricksy Business", Summer, along with her brother and grandfather, freezes time to stop her parents from finding their house in wretched shape. She proceeds to have fun together all around town, doing things like carving pumpkins, pulling peoples' pants down, and watching the movie Titanic together.

It becomes apparent in "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez" that Summer understands Rick's suffering better than Morty does, possibly due to their respective ages. Summer is the first to recognize that Tiny Rick needs help, and figures out the true meaning behind his existential songs, while the rest of her class simply appreciates his music and dancing.

During "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri", Rick gave Summer the invisible belt after she voices how she wants to irritate Morty by having it.

"A Rickconvenient Mort" sees Summer going on an adventure with Rick in Morty's stead, with Rick taking her on a planetary apocalypse crawl. At first, Summer is pleased, but she quickly grows annoyed with Rick breaking his own rule about making no connections after he brings Daphne from the planet Morglutz with him for the rest of the crawl. After Summer ruins the crawl by stopping the last apocalypse and revealing Daphne is not seriously interested in Rick, Rick reluctantly commends her for her actions, admitting he would have done the same in her position. He even admits that her stopping an apocalypse to prove a point is a very him thing to do.

In "Night Family," it is speculated that Summer holds a grudge against Rick due to the time she was told in "Raising Gazorpazorp" that her opinion means very little to him. This is because her unconscious persona, Night Summer, was leading the Night Family, was the most active in trying to put Rick in his place, and even told him that his opinion "means very little" to her — which parallels to what he has said to her in the past.

"Wet Kuat Amortican Summer" shows how Summer does Rick's chores to get what she wants. In the beginning of the episode, she receives an Attribute Slider as payment for cleaning up his mess. This upsets Morty, as he has been asking for the device for ages, while Summer gets to use it. Later on, Summer expresses her disappointment because "Morty gets everything for free." Rick then explains that Morty's a dog, and people have cats as "their affection is earned."

Rick's perception of Summer becomes clearer when it is revealed in "Solaricks" that she reminds Rick of her grandmother, Diane. The referenced scene regarding affection in "Wet Kuat Amortican Summer" affirms this, as it was the moment Rick finally professed this sentiment to her, also admitting that he respects her as an equal. However, Summer seemed not to hear any of what he's said.

ADVERTISEMENT Morty

Summer finds that Morty Prime is not her real brother. At first, the Smith siblings barely interact with each other, as Morty would generally be with Rick on an adventure. However, after Summer finds out she was an unwanted pregnancy in "Rixty Minutes", she threatens to leave home. Morty convinces his sister not to leave by revealing the truth that he and Rick are not her real brother and real grandfather, that they replaced them when their reality was destroyed and the two in this one had died and were buried in the backyard. By doing this, he reveals that he is not exactly her brother but an alternate version of her brother that they can trust. The revelation convinces Summer to stay with her parents.

Summer seems to be a little jealous of her brother, as he is always going on adventures with Rick, but she mostly expresses her jealousy to Morty, and not Rick.

In "Total Rickall" it is shown that the two have a normal antagonistic brother-sister relationship where Morty refers to Summer as "Bitch of a sister".

It has, however, been shown that she does care for her little brother as seen in "Lawnmower Dog", she hugged him after seeing him alive and well after she was freed, but Morty pushed her since her breasts were in his face (because he had terrible experience while in Mr. Goldenfold's dreams, which involved seeing her half naked). Morty also cares about Summer, in "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez" where Tiny Rick both insults and humiliates Summer, causing Morty to rise to her defense and scold Rick for it.

Morty, meanwhile, has also been shown to care a great deal about his sister, as in "Rickmancing the Stone", he was unwilling to leave the Post-Apocalyptic Dimension without her, and in "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy", he disfigured Ethan with Rick's Morphizer-XE for "making his sister cry" and "messing with her body image".

ADVERTISEMENT Beth

Summer seems to have a fairly good relationship with her mother Beth, the daughter and the woman are very similar as they are both very smart, humorous, and ambitious. However, Summer is much more selfless. Their relationship becomes strained in "Rixty Minutes", when Summer discovers that she was an unwanted pregnancy, and that her mother even considered getting an abortion. However, by the end of the episode, she appears to have made up, as Summer decides to stay at home instead of running away. However, their relationship isn't perfect and has always been rickety. In the episode "Total Rickall", Summer had a bad memory of her mother, Beth was shown with the woman blackout drunk holding on to a wine bottle while lying in bed. When Summer walked in, she was mad to find Beth like this since she needed Beth to drive her to school. Beth declared she was fine, but in doing so, she accidentally gave Summer a black-eye with the wine bottle. Summer started crying and was upset because it was picture day. Beth tried reassuring them it was fine, while putting make up on jet to hide the black-eye. Summer's reply to her wasted mother was "I want the Police to take me!" Their relationship clearly has its flaws. She also appears to be rather envious of Beth's boobs, as Morty discovered a bra way too big, which Summer defended herself, claiming to grow into as Beth had big breasts.

In "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy", Morty lashes out at Beth for her distance towards him and Summer. He blames this on her relationship with Rick, telling her that she doesn't need to prove herself to be worthy of Rick's love by acting essentially just like him, as it is making her appear just as narcissistic and irresponsible. And that while she's trying to gain Rick's approval, she's hurting him and Summer. Later in the episode, Beth use the morphiser to grow into a giant, has her skin turned inside out, and comforts a crying Summer.

In "Morty's Mind Blowers", it was revealed that Summer is the favorite of Beth, the woman was trapped in a situation, where an evil alien from another dimension was planning on killing one of her two children, and graced her with the choice of which one lives. Without any hesitation, Beth immediately demanded that her daughter Summer be the one who survives, Summer was shocked at her mother's choice, as was the alien, but luckily Rick rescued his daughter and grandchildren and erased her brother's memories though he recalled this but forgot again.

Beth's awareness of her mistreatment of her children may drive her farther away from Rick, as she will likely stop trying to get him to love her, and instead find solace in her relationship with her children, including Summer.

ADVERTISEMENT Jerry

Summer seems to have a fairly good relationship with her father Jerry, their relationship becomes strained in "Rixty Minutes", when Summer discovers that she was an unwanted pregnancy, and that her parents even considered getting an abortion. However, by the end of the episode, she appears to have made up, as Summer decides to stay at home instead of running away. Another strain on their relationship occurs in the episode "Look Who's Purging Now", when Jerry makes feeble attempts to converse with his child Summer as they lounge around the house; the first instance, Summer denies her father's attempt with an argument that his attempt was not so much "making conversation", but that his questions were "holding her verbally hostage", the second attempt of offering them crackers was more strongly denied, followed with Summer telling Jerry to get a job because he was bored and starting drama, but fizzles quickly when Jerry not-so-subtly asks Summer for financial assistance while in between jobs, to which she responds with irritation, and again, denial.

Summer resents the fact that her father takes away their phone in "Anatomy Park" but prefers having no phone over having her father, Jerry, join Facebook.

In the wake of her parent's divorce, Summer ultimately tries to maintain a relationship with her father. At the end of "Rickmancing the Stone", she visits her father Jerry in his new apartment, bringing him the skull of the first mutant she killed in the Post-Apocalyptic Dimension as a housewarming gift.

In Childrick of Mort, Summer goes ballistic and shouts at Jerry, leaving him hurt. Later on, after she and Morty get high on discarded engine fuel from an old ship which causes them to crash, they realize Jerry was right about them not knowing everything. Jerry returned the sentiment by telling them they were right, something that left Summer shocked.

ADVERTISEMENT Naruto

Even though he's a "Giant Incest Baby" of her and Morty's biological son, it is shown that Summer still loves him by following her "mother's instinct". As shown in Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion episode, Summer felt horrible after seeing her own child being Weaponized by The President. Naruto also instinctively likes Summer as well as he obeys her command as they bonded with each other and escaped. As seen later in the episode, Naruto obediently follows Summer's orders as shown to destroy GoGoGoTron on her command.

Friends

Tammy Gueterman

Tammy and Summer were both the best of friends for the first two seasons. The two of them were just casual friends who talked to each other and hung out a lot and there was nothing all that complicated to their relationship. However, in the episode "Ricksy Business", Tammy and Bird Person fell madly in love and they took off to live in Bird World together, which was kind of sad for Summer. In the episode "The Wedding Squanchers", Tammy invited Summer to her wedding with Bird Person because she was her friend and the whole family came with them. Summer was happy to see her again, and kind of jealous that they were the first of all her friends to get married. It was later revealed that Tammy was actually an undercover agent for Galactic Federation, who had busted the entire wedding because a lot of criminals were there, including Rick Sanchez. Everybody at the wedding was being attacked and destroyed, but The Smith Family escaped just in time, and from this point on, it's not likely that Tammy and Summer are still friends, given that their friendship was just a ploy to get closer to Rick in the first place.

ADVERTISEMENT Nancy

Nancy is one of Summer's friends. Summer tends not to treat her with the same respect they give to her other friends. It's likely Summer befriended her out of pity. Summer usually neglects and ignores Nancy, and never actually does the same things with her that she does with her other friends. Nancy still tries talking to her because she feels she needs to be friends with someone pretty and popular. This was all until the episode "Ricksy Business", where Nancy realized that Summer was completely disrespectful to her, and that she didn't need to be friends with her. It appears though that by "The Rickshank Rickdemption" the two reconciled and became friends again since Summer mentions that Nancy texted her that she and her other friends were drawing and quartering aliens in the school courtyard. In "Rattlestar Ricklactica", Nancy can also be shown crashing a slumber party with Summer, which might imply that they have reconciled their differences and got on better terms.

Tricia Lange

Summer has mixed feelings about Tricia. At first, the two appear to have some sort of rivalry as Tricia is a big-breasted, generally good-looking girl who Summer envies. The rivalry starts when Ethan, Summer's boyfriend, cancels their camping trip together just to book the date with Tricia instead. Summer (alongside Morty) attributes this to Tricia's looks. This leads to Summer feeling insecure in comparison to Tricia, wishing her breasts were bigger so that she could gain the likes of her peers - most notably Ethan. To earn the likes of Ethan again, Summer tries to enlarge her breasts through one of Rick's morphiser machines, which backfires when her entire body turns into a gigantic muscle-bound wreck. During Tricia and Ethan's camping trip, they get interrupted by the Smiths (Morty, Summer and Beth). Beth is seen comforting Summer, attempting to make her feel better due to her inferiority complex and self-consciousness. Tricia seems to be moved by Summer and Beth, despite the fact that they are huge, muscle-bound monsters. Afterwards, Tricia calls her mother as well. Tricia may have earned respect for Summer due to this incident. As of "Wet Kuat Amortican Summer", Summer now considers Tricia to be her best friend.

In "Rattlestar Ricklactica", Tricia is seen dancing to Snake Jazz with Summer, showing that they might've both changed their ways, settled their feud, and are good friends now.

In "Promortyus", she and Tricia are hanging out. When Tricia mentions a sexual interest in Jerry Smith, by bluntly telling Summer that she wanted to sleep with her father, Summer is obviously disgusted.

ADVERTISEMENT Love Interests

Frank Palicky

In the Pilot episode, Summer was in love with Frank Palicky. When she saw Frank standing there frozen in the hallway, and oblivious to how he was frozen, she was shocked, thinking that he was looking at her. She walked up to him, wanting to plan her first interaction with them just right, because she was dreaming of one day, going as far as to marry him and that the story of their first time meeting would be the story that they'd be telling to their children. She talked to him, lovingly saying "Hey, Frank.", just as his frozen body tipped over and smashed into a bunch of pieces on the ground, sending her into an extreme state of shock and fear. She was later seen, crying over his obituary, asking "What kind of a god would do this?" and then later, coming home and still crying about his death. Two episodes later, in the episode Anatomy Park, she was shown to have been dating another boy for weeks, showing that she has recovered and moved on.

Ethan

In the episode Anatomy Park, Summer was shown to have been dating Ethan for a long time, and not telling her parents about it. Ethan came to her house and was angry at her for always ignoring him and Summer was angry at him for only caring about himself. Jacob had to sort the argument out between the two of them and they became a happy couple again with Summer claiming they loved him. He was later seen in the episode Get Schwifty, where they both learned the ways of Headism and watched the disposal of the sinners together. He helped Summer save Beth and Jerry when it was discovered Headism was a farce. Their relationship is most likely over, because in Big Trouble In Little Sanchez, Summer had another love interest.

In "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy", it's revealed that Ethan broke up with Summer in favor of a girl with bigger boobs, causing her to believe she was unattractive, a view reinforced when Beth doesn't tell her she's hot when asked. In an attempt to get Ethan back, she uses one of Rick's alien devices to make her breasts larger, but she ends up accidentally turning herself into a deformed giantess with disproportioned body parts. Upset by Morty and Beth's inability to change her back, Summer follows Ethan to the campsite where he and his new girlfriend are having a date, terrifying them both and ruining their evening. Ultimately, Morty figures out how to restore his sister to normal and then helps her take revenge by mutating Ethan with the same alien technology that mutated Summer.

ADVERTISEMENT Toby Matthews

In "Big Trouble In Little Sanchez", Summer had a huge crush on Toby, but thought that he was too far out of their league to talk to him. When Rick Sanchez went to their school in the body of Tiny Rick, he made Summer a lot more popular. Toby went out of his way to invite Summer to a party, in hopes that Tiny Rick will show up. All seemed good between the two, until Summer exposed the fact that Rick killed one of the coaches, and got Rick expelled. Rick, in a fit of rage, shamed them in front of the entire school, exposing the fact that Summer snitched on him. Most of their school hated them due to this, including Toby, meaning that their relationship is most likely over.

Hemorrhage

Summerrhage Summer with her husband, Hemorrhage In "Rickmancing the Stone", Summer, Rick, and Morty travel to the Post-Apocalyptic Dimension. There, Summer meets Hemorrhage, the leader of a Mad Max-esque wasteland gang. Looking for a way to cope with their parent's divorce, Summer has sex and marries Hemorrhage, with the couple never having children, only to dump him after Rick helps restore civilization, and Hemorrhage becomes a couch potato. Summer returns to Dimension C-131 and leaves Hemorrhage behind, though they technically remain married.

ADVERTISEMENT Bruce Chutback

In the episode Amortycan Grickfitti, Summer seemed to show extreme interest when Morty asks his mom if he can invite a friend over, soon revealing to be Bruce Chutback. Summer instantly forcefully persuades Morty that he needs her help before Bruce sees the 2 as losers. After taking a joyride in the Space cruiser, it is revealed at the end of the episode that Bruce doesn't keep friendships for long and so he leaves Summer and Morty.

Others

Mr. Needful

Lucius Needful, also known as The Devil, was Summer's boss at Needful Things, in "Something Ricked This Way Comes". Summer becomes envious of Morty and his adventures with Rick, so she replaces him with Mr. Needful to spite him. Summer and Mr. Needful become close friends after Summer saves him from his attempted suicide, but she is "Zuckerberged" by him after the unveiling of the globally complied web 4.0 phenomenon n33dful.com. At the end of the episode, Summer teams up with Rick to beat him to a pulp. Beth Smith SIGN IN TO SAVE

Beth Smith (née Sanchez) of Dimension C-131 is one of the two tritagonists of Rick and Morty. She is the daughter of Rick C-131 (deceased) and Diane Sanchez C-131, the wife of Jerry Smith (originally of Jerry Smith C-131), and the mother of Summer Smith and the deceased Morty Smith (C-131). She currently acts as the mother of Morty Smith of the Prime Dimension and the daughter of the Rick Sanchez of Dimension C-137, respectively. She also works as a veterinarian at the St. Equis Hospital.

Characterized by a superiority complex and abandonment issues, Beth gradually came to struggle with her husband over his contributions to their marriage, due in part to his lower-level position and subsequent employment, further driven by her father influencing her feelings of superiority. The two eventually divorced, before reuniting in the Season 3 finale.

Around the same time, Beth grappled with the decision to leave her family in order to find herself or stay on Earth and accept things for the way they are. She ended up leaving Rick to decide for her, who created a clone of Beth and mixed the two around so not even he would know which one was the original Beth. One of the Beths flew out into space, whilst the other remained on Earth beside her family.

ADVERTISEMENT Biography

The details of Beth's history are relatively unknown; she was born from Rick Sanchez and Diane Sanchez (C-131), and she has recounted herself as a "bright-eyed" woman from Muskegon, Michigan in "Meeseeks and Destroy." As indicated in "Hot Rick" during Beth's childhood, her parents' marriage deteriorated amid unknown circumstances, and Rick decided to leave both Beth and her mother to travel across the cosmos. Beth blamed herself for her parents falling out, and seeing her father as an intelligent scientist compared to her mother, Beth came to idolize Rick and blamed Diane for "chasing off the dad with the guts to leave".

It is revealed in "The ABC's of Beth" that, at some point in her childhood, Beth became an insane and psychotic little girl. She began asking her father, Rick, to create toy-like weapons for her so she can harm other children. As an adult, Beth reasoned that she did that to "spend time with her father." Rick, aware of the increasing danger that would represent his daughter, created a dream world, Froopyland, for her in order to keep the other children of the neighborhood safe. Beth managed to take one of her friends, Tommy, to Froopyland, where, according to Tommy himself, she pushed him into a honey swamp as she was envious of the good relationship he has with his father. Then, she convinced herself that Tommy only got lost in Froopyland and therefore went missing.

Beth aspired to become a heart surgeon as an adult. However, this remained an aspiration as, during high school, when she was only 17 years old, she went to prom dance with her classmate, Jerry Smith (possibly, either out of pity, or out of manipulation of Ricks hoping to prompt the later conception of Mortys). Beth and Jerry had sex on prom night, and she became impregnated with her first child and only daughter, Summer. She contemplated aborting the fetus, later justifying that "everybody thinks about it," but managed to get into college and become a veterinary surgeon, specializing in horses. Eventually, she found work at St. Equis Hospital. She also decided to marry her boyfriend, Jerry, and a few years later (impregnated at the age of 20 years old), had their second child and only son, Morty.

Beth was somewhat distant towards her children at their childhood, as implied in "Raising Gazorpazorp." Her job as a veterinary surgeon at St. Equis Hospital causes her to spend less time with her husband and children, and she feels that coddling them would make them dependent or end up like her husband.

Sometime after "The ABC's of Beth," Rick cloned her, resulting in two Beths. It is unknown which Beth is the original and which one is the clone.

ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

Beth is a slender, pale fair-skinned woman of above average height with an oval-shaped face and slightly wavy shoulder-length blonde hair in a long bob cut, she also has a big bust. She wears berry pink-colored lipstick for makeup, has a pointed nose, and long eyelashes. She wears a short-sleeve V-neck collared desire-red polo shirt, straight-leg blue pants and slip-on white shoes. Beth admits that, since her unwanted pregnancy, her waistline has widened.

As a little girl, Beth wore a short-sleeve light red shirt with light blue shortalls, calf-length white frilly socks, and periwinkle Mary Jane shoes. She wears a white and light blue hair clip, two blue and green wristbands on her right wrist. Personality

Beth is an intelligent, ambitious, and independent woman who suffers from a variety of deep-seated insecurities. A dedicated veterinary horse surgeon, she is the family's main breadwinner and often tries to do the best for her family based on this sense of responsibility. She is highly insecure about her profession as a horse surgeon, and is quick to snap at the implication she is not a 'real' surgeon or a 'real' veterinarian. She may share this belief, wishing she had been able to continue her medical education to become a 'real' doctor in Rixty Minutes. Nonetheless, she is very dedicated to her job, even beyond as a source of income, and was willing to give up her own pride to help successfully save a deer's life in A Rickle in Time.

Although Beth can sometimes be derisive of what she sees as weakness, dependence or emotional vulnerability, she can still be compassionate and caring at times, more so than her father. When she and Jerry accidentally hit a deer, her first concerns were to help and assist it and Beth would stop at nothing to bring it back to health. She often expresses grave concern for Morty's education and health, when they are not related to Rick, and is considerate of the consequences on her children of her leaving Jerry. She has generally considered her family her first priority and has "defined her life" around her marriage to Jerry, which has at times driven her marital regrets. Her dedication to her family can fade quickly if she feels patronized, devalued, or that she or another family member, such as Morty or Rick, is threatened.

Beth has a superiority complex, believing herself at times to be above others as a way of hiding her insecurities. She has extended this behaviour to those such as her son Morty - particularly when he is shown taking care of his own son - and her husband, who unwittingly feeds her insecurities by implying she was not a 'real' surgeon. Her genius father's clear preference for her over her 'idiot' husband has in turn fed her feelings of superiority, especially towards Jerry. She also exhibited resentment towards being patronized during her surgical work, such as by her co-worker, Davin when he lets her know they're losing a patient, or when another veterinarian implies she cannot save a deer. These feelings of superiority however seem to disappear quickly when Rick is removed from her life, or even when she merely feels more confident in herself.

As a result of her father's disappearance, Beth has come to fixate on exceptionalism and intelligence, and has a fear of abandonment, resulting in a deep-seated desire to keep her father in her life. As a result, she is generally willing to put up with Rick - and his needs without sarcasm or argument - rationalizing his experiments and behavior. She can become defensive and even insecure about this when challenged by it, as in The Wedding Squanchers she calls Jerry a "dumb asshole" for proposing the idea that Rick doesn't care for the family, and so in turn they have no reason to treat him with care. When meeting Dr. Wong in Pickle Rick however, she largely bragged about her father as a scientist, and believed that the reason he turned himself into a pickle had nothing to do with the fact that he wanted to avoid family therapy (which ended up being debunked, as he did turn himself into a pickle to evade it). However, she has some limits even for his behavior, and has given him ultimatums in Pilot and Auto Erotic Assimilation, which he has ultimately followed - so she is not entirely defensive of her father's behaviors. Nevertheless, the long-lasting emotional scars embedded into Beth by Rick’s sudden abandonment left her to seek comfort in more reliable persons, such as Jerry and to withhold confidence in herself.

Her relationship with Jerry is extremely rocky. Beth and Jerry have remained together partially due to the fact that Jerry is the only man who has not abandoned her. She and Jerry share a number of common goals - generally around doing what is best for their family - but these goals are strained by their disagreement on how to achieve these ends. She is often critical of his ideas, and suggests that she feels held back or unappreciated by him. Their disagreement over Rick's living situation with them is an extremely frequent source of tension, as it has been implied by Dan Harmon and the episodes Rick Potion #9 and The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy that Jerry and Beth's relationship was more stable before Rick came back into her life. In many cases Jerry is often the more sentimental and nurturing one who calls out Rick for being a negative impact on Morty, and Beth is often the one justifying his actions.

Beth has notably inherited her father's tendency to rely on alcohol to control stress, drinking wine briefly in Meeseeks and Destroy and amid more stressful situations, very heavily in both Rixty Minutes, at the end of Total Rickall and in The Rickshank Rickdemption. She also expresses excitement at the offer to go out for a drink with Rick in Pickle Rick, seeming to overlook both of her children. A separate flashback in Total Rickall also shows her suffering from a severe hangover, causing her to whiplash a bottle at Summer during her Picture Day, giving her a black eye as a result. In a flashback shown in Rickfending Your Mort, it’s shown that Beth will secretly drink wine whenever no one is looking.

In addition, Beth can be highly sarcastic at times, such as when she predicted Snuffles' increased intelligence would backfire in the episode, Lawnmower Dog.

In the Season 3 episode, The ABC's of Beth, an even further layer of Beth's personality was revealed. Rick discloses that she had a tumultuous and destructive childhood, only exacerbated by her murderous and sociopathic tendencies (which Rick accredits to his own mental state, and whose behavior as a role model and eventual disappearance no doubt contributed to). Despite having acclimated towards a relatively normal life in adulthood, this layer again reveals itself when she goes to confront her childhood friend, Tommy, and end the chaos ruling over her former "imaginary" paradise, Froopyland. These violent tendencies and sociopathy was later confirmed in The Curicksous Case of Bethjamin Button, where Beth and Space Beth were turned back into 10 year olds, both displayed a love of violence, dangerous weapons, making deadly booby-traps, mutilating small animals, setting things on fire and attacking others with little provocations. With the both of them admitting a deep love of stabbing people and having a strong compulsion to do so. Their sociopathy was further evident when they had slashed Jean’s ankles and slashed his arteries, where both Beths displayed little to no remorse for their actions and were instead annoyed by the inconvenience they had cause to themselves due them now needing to take care of the injured Jean.

During the chaos, she then realizes that while her childhood self idolized Rick and wanted to be like him, Rick remains a deeply flawed individual and (by some cruel twist of fate), she turned out exactly like him- needlessly destructive. It is implied that the both of them deeply misunderstand the world as it appears to the majority, who can easily adapt to it and live in accordance to a lifestyle set out for them through their own choice- who know what they want and their life direction, even if only for the fact that that they allow themselves to experience satisfaction, happiness and completion, instead of only sort of contempt towards an ordinary life in some misguided attempt to overcome it. Realizing that in divorcing Jerry and coming to terms with the way she is that there is no one and nothing holding her back from a living a life of self-determination in accordance to her true, broken identity, Rick proposes that Beth resolve her identity issues through exploring the multiverse while an identical clone takes her place for however long she is gone (or even a lifetime). It is not disclosed whether or not Beth decides to remain. It is likely that she chose the latter based on the scenes that followed, though The Rickchurian Mortydate puts this into further debate.

The episode also revealed that Beth was very lonely as a little girl, and may very well still be, having asked Rick to make her a whip that would make people like her, and a sentient switchblade. She was also envious of her friend Tommy, and his father who was present in his life, which lead her to abandon him in Froopyland, mirroring her father's image, and roused her to become a better person by her own standards.

Overall, Beth is a complexly conflicted woman with several layers of contradictory nature. Firstly, she envisions herself much like her morally bankrupt father Rick, admiring him for his unlimited intellect and independence, which at first seems to stem from confidence of being virtually the smartest being in the universe. However, throughout the vast years of interstellar madness and chaos the universe has to offer, she realises Rick’s carelessness core origin lies in the awareness of how insignificant it all is. His knowledge of the multiverse and endless alternate dimensions with different versions of everyone makes him believe nothing matters and treats relationships and the human need for bonds as pointless. Yet, while Beth is also intelligent enough to solve a complex issue and agree many times with her father, she chooses to rather go with the ignorance and simpler curve. In spite of her blood, Beth sees life worth living, even if it ends up as nothing more than a tiny speck on the hourglass. Contradictory to her ideal version of herself (a top surgeon and independent woman), Beth ends up with the largest contrast to her own character and values, Jerry. Though facing serious marriage struggles like unintentional pregnancy from unprotected intercourse from the meager age of 17, a husband that for all his noble intentions isn’t especially smart and with misguided intentions and sometimes serious issues urging divorce, she ultimately finds more comfort from Jerry than she does from Rick’s recognition. For while Rick’s attention and praise might boost her confidence and uncertainty greatly, it is only temporary. The love from a simple man such as her husband is so easy and pure in itself that she benefits more from it than seeking approval from her lonely, drunk and careless father.

Secondly, Beth’s largest flaw is her insecure feelings of abandonment left by Rick. In her quest to reconnect with her long-deserted father, Beth manages to destroy most of the good things she had obtained without his presence. A surprisingly adequate job given the circumstances from the high school pregnancy, two children that she loves and a unique marriage that despite all its difficulties provides comfort. In season 3, she embraces a life without Jerry and in the end she ends up only stressed and uncertain when trying to re-create the lost years between herself and Rick. By the end, she embraces the fact that Jerry is child-like, easily misguided, insecure, slightly below-average intelligence and somewhat pathetic, and instead relishes in being loved by him unconditionally. Like other faulty animated marriages like Homer & Marge from the Simpsons, Beth thinks Jerry is just a child that does not know better, admiring his efforts to make up even if badly executed. The origin of her reason to live with a man very much unlike herself could stem from her deep vulnerability when it comes to being alone. Either way, Beth retains better traits and confidence from the man that never will leave her side, than the mysterious father that really holds no interest in anyone besides himself for whatever the reason.

Finally, for all the bad things Beth inherit from her father; alcoholism, negligence, unemotional attachments, rude/cold behaviour etc. she manages to rise above the negative aspects which makes Rick Rick, while with keeping his strengths: intelligence, bravery, self-reliance etc. She starts with a happy childhood until losing her mother and eventually her father, which leaves her mingle alone. For twenty years, she is forced to grow up by herself and raise a family she was unprepared for, however, it is her family that proves she succeeded, even if it is a distorted vision of her future self. Her love is ultimately her greatest difference form her father and lack of knowledge or interest in treating things as insignificant, grants her more happiness than Rick ends up with.

Romance

Jerry Smith (C-131)

Beth met Jerry in high school and had unprotected sex on prom night, resulting in the pregnancy that produced their first and only daughter, Summer. They become married since that incident, eventually producing their second child and only son, Morty three years later. Their relationship is very rocky and strained, due to the fact that both of them missed out on fulfilling their dreams due to poor decisions when they were teenagers - as when Jerry puts on a headset that allows him to view many realities in "Rixty Minutes, he realizes that without Beth he would have became a successful director. Beth often contemplates leaving Jerry to pursue her own dreams and happiness, mentioning taking "a trip" or "a break", while Jerry still loves her and often tries to keep their marriage together. Beth believes her father to be a better influence on their children than Jerry, which is another reason she thinks he should live with them.

Jerry doesn't always seem to respect her occupation as horse surgeon and occasionally has Freudian slips about it, which greatly offends her, and she is often frustrated by Jerry's insecurities and immature actions. Ironically, despite her continuous frustrations with Jerry's "simple nature", she herself also bears clear insecurities, especially with her father. Due to her lonely childhood, whether Rick was present or not, Beth does have a vulnerability with abandonment. This is one of the reasons that Beth married and stayed with Jerry for more than 15 years, because - unlike Rick - he stays with her no matter what. In spite of denial of Rick's clearly horrid character, numerous evidence proves that Jerry is right concerning Beth's fears of abandonment and definitely with her father being far from the ideal person or parent. In Rixty Minutes, Jerry and Beth both get to see an alternate version of themselves in a different reality and find themselves unsatisfied with their current lives, leading them to eventually decide that splitting up would be inevitable. However, the alternate Jerry and Beth eventually realize that they are miserable without one another and get together after years apart. Seeing this renewed Jerry and Beth's relationship and they opted not to split up.

ADVERTISEMENT Jerry Smith (5126)

Since Jerry C-131 and Jerry 5126 were nearly identical to each other at the start of Season 2, Beth did not notice any difference between them following their swap in Jerryboree and treated them both the same, as if they were a single individual.

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-18h58m18s176 Beth scolds her husband. In "The Rickshank Rickdemption", Jerry took a stand against Rick's behavior towards the family, apparent manipulation of Beth's father issues in order to live rent-free, and his frequently putting their children in danger. He told Beth that it was him or Rick which led to the two deciding to divorce.

In "The Rickchurian Mortydate", Beth visits her husband when she suffers from identity crisis and he reflects on a high school date they had and she ends up kissing him as thanks. They decide to get back together and hide from Rick who still tracks them down but begrudgingly accepts their choice. At the end, they are living together again with both finally able to be happily married parents and Beth defended Jerry from Rick's insults.

During "Childrick of Mort", Beth and Jerry have problems but Jerry saves his wife from falling, though Beth refuses sex as gratitude. When Rick was criticizing Jerry, Beth for once doesn't defend her father - and instead takes her husband's defense by voicing how she was impressed with Jerry because saved her life, while criticizing Rick. This brings a smile to Jerry's face.

In the Season 5 premiere, "Mort Dinner Rick Andre", Beth and Jerry appear more loving while openly claiming to watch pornography together, thanks to Dr. Wong's therapy, and due to their new sexual nature, they have a three way with Mr. Nimbus.

In "Solaricks", when Rick reset all the portal travelers, Beth noticed that Jerry was missing and compelled Rick to go to Dimension 5126 to retrieve him. When Jerry C-131 opened the cage containing Mr. Frundles—thereby destroying that Earth—Beth remained indifferent to the death of her original husband, having grown attached to the Jerry from 5126 over the course of four seasons.

ADVERTISEMENT Family

Rick Sanchez (C-131)

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-18h46m55s179 Beth with her father. Not much is known about the relationship of Beth and her father Rick prior to the events of the series. Jerry insinuates that Beth was raised "like a reptile" by Rick, suggesting that his method of parenting was very unorthodox. It is known that he left her mother for unknown reasons, as shown in the episode "Hot Rick"—where he is seen wearing an outfit nearly identical to Rick Prime's as he departs from his family.

Beth is very happy that her father came back into her life sometime prior to the Pilot episode. She is usually defensive of him when Jerry badmouths him, and is largely convinced that Rick is good for the family. When she came to realize that Rick was indeed a bad influence on Morty and agreed with Jerry to send him to a nursing home, Morty seemed to exhibit superhuman intelligence (actually the results of dissolving mega-seeds)—further convincing her to keep him around.

In the episode "Rick Potion #9", following the Cronenberg apocalypse, Rick C-131 is accidentally killed by an explosion involving his Ionic Defibulizer. Rick C-137 arrives in Dimension C-131 and takes his place. Since Beth cannot distinguish between the two, she fails to notice the difference and begins treating Rick C-137 as her original father.

ADVERTISEMENT Rick Sanchez (C-137)

Beth affectionately celebrates the one-year anniversary of Rick's return in Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind with UFO-shaped pancakes and despite her usual independence, seems to dote on him and his alternate selves in the same episode. Also, multiple Ricks seem to like Beth and compliment her for her kindness. However, this Beth is not the same Beth in "Rick Potion #9", who comes to the conclusion that her father Rick is a "selfish, irresponsible ass," after he turned everyone on Earth into monsters and abandoned her, Jerry and Summer, from the Prime Dimension.

During the events of "Total Rickall," Rick was clearly upset by Beth doubting his existence because of the parasites. He also comforts Beth when she shoots Mr. Poopybutthole after thinking he was a parasite, explaining his similar mistake.

In the Season 2 finale, "The Wedding Squanchers", Beth gets a closer look at her father's personal life, and tries her best to keep Jerry from ruining her chances of going on adventures with him more often. Later in the episode, Beth is heartbroken to find that Rick abandoned her a second time (little did she know that this time, he turned himself in to protect her and her family from the Federation). When the family is taken back to earth by the Galactic Federation, she bursts into tears. At the same time in the episode, Rick's self-sacrifice proved that he actually does care about her.

Beth also seems to enjoy Rick's inventions, and appreciates the help he gives her. She allows Rick to stay rent-free in her home due to the fact that she doesn't want him leaving her again. That is the same reason why she disagreed with Jerry so strongly, and wept, when he suggested that the family turn in Rick to the Galactic Federation so that they can go back home to Earth in The Wedding Squanchers.

In the Season 3 premiere, "The Rickshank Rickdemption", when Jerry finally gives Beth the ultimatum of choosing him or Rick, Beth chooses Rick, leading to their divorce. Shortly after, Beth insists to Rick that the divorce would be good for Jerry, and the family, after he expresses remorse. Rick later admits to Morty that he had a hand in manipulating this because Jerry went against him.

In "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy", Morty lashes out on Beth for her distance towards him and Summer. He blames this on her relationship with Rick, telling her that she doesn't need to prove herself to be worthy of Rick's love by acting essentially just like him, as it is making her appear just as narcissistic and irresponsible. And that while she's trying to gain Rick's approval, she's hurting him and Summer.

Beth believed she needed to prove herself to Rick because of how rarely he ever tells her he loves her. He admits this to Jaguar in the episode "Pickle Rick". Rick also admitted in the same episode to Jerry that he believes Jerry impregnating Beth ruined her chances of being successful, and detests him for his detachment to his daughter. Beth's awareness of her mistreatment of her children may drive her farther away from Rick, as she will likely stop trying to get him to love her, and instead find solace in her relationship with her children.

In the episode "The ABC's of Beth", after Beth and Rick clone her childhood friend Tommy and save his father from being executed, they share a long-awaited, and progressive moment with each other. Beth discovers that all her life she's been lying to herself that her father is a good man, and tried desperately to be just like him. She realizes that she doesn't want to be like him anymore, and that she wants to be herself. Rick finally tells her that he genuinely loves her, although in his own way. And proves this to her by giving her an ultimatum. He would clone her, and let her leave to do what she wants, or she could stay, and continue to care for the family. It is likely that Beth chose the latter option based on the scenes that followed. Grazing her fingers across the photos attached to the fridge, Beth smiles at each picture: A picture of Mr. Poopybutthole, her and Jerry on their wedding day, Rick, Summer, and lastly Morty, whose picture she rests her finger on the longest.

Due to this suggestion, in "The Rickchurian Mortydate" Beth began to suffer from an identity crisis despite Rick constantly telling her she is real. Her spiral causes her to turn to Jerry and reconcile with and hide from Rick but he still finds them forcing Beth to confront him. Beth tells Rick if she is a clone, he should just kill her and get it over with or go to another dimension and be with another version of her. However, Rick simply informs her she is his daughter and she is relieved, though put off when he tells her he was actually planning to kill Jerry, but relented. In the end, Jerry moves back in and Rick begrudgingly accepts this while Beth forces him to watch his tone to her husband before she and the family laugh at Rick's expense, showing how much she moved from her father's shadow.

In "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri", after meeting Space Beth and both of them dealing with Rick's constant lies, she loses a great amount of respect for him. The same episode would also reveal that Beth left her decision of leaving Earth or staying with her family up to Rick, who would clone her due to being unable to choose between a life-changing decision for his daughter. Beth later regains her respect for him after she found out what Rick has gone through because of Rick Prime showing that even though he is an ass, he is an ass for a reason.

While their relationship is not the same, Beth is shown to still care for her father as she is still willing to save him from enemies as seen in "Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion", though she has lower tolerance for his antics and she treats Rick colder than before.

"The CuRicksous Case of Bethjamin Button" explores Beth's childhood trauma from her father leaving, as after Rick arrives from the de-aged Beth's causing mayhem, they trap him in the de-aging machine and make him 360 years old, leaving Rick a vulnerable, grovelling, rotting man. The Beths then proceed to beat him, believing that Rick didn't want his daughter and just wanted to fuck off, but Rick tries to reason with them, explaining that his original Beth was murdered. This gets to Beth(s), but still angry, says that someone left them, and now that there are two of them, Rick should have no problem loving the both of them. Rick, faced with this, cries, and expresses his pride in his daughters, making his acceptance to both of them clear, all of them touched, hug and cry.

In "Hot Rick", upon discovering a sentient memory of Rick, she unknowingly transfers him into her own subconscious, where he starts manipulating her memories, brainwashing her into letting the memory version of Diane out of a machine in the sub-basement, and constantly gaslighting her with one message, "This is how we stay a family." She does so, but Space Beth walks in on her, and after trying to unsuccessfully give her the memories as well, brawls with her, despite Space Beth refusing. She eventually kills her, much to her horror, running out. Her other memories begin awakening driving her insane. Eventually after almost driving herself into a cliff, she reaches peak instability, and attempts to commit suicide. The memory Beth's capture Memory Rick and force him to see how they drove his own daughter insane. Rick deters her from killing herself, sedates her, and extracts the memories from her. Beth also expresses she wished she knew Diane better, leading Rick to assure her the real Diane loved Beth more than her memory incarnation.

ADVERTISEMENT Morty Smith (C-131)

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-18h53m19s182 (2) Beth with her son and grandson. Beth knows that her son Morty is not very intelligent and wants him to succeed in school. She has no problems allowing Rick to take Morty on most adventures, believing Rick is not only teaching him valuable life skills and improving his intelligence, but that he is the only friend Morty has. She believes that Morty was filled with Jerry's insecurities as a result of Jerry's overly-nurturing method of raising him, and consequently, she is largely absent from Morty's life,

Despite this, Beth does seem to consistently care about Morty's well-being, as she asks if Morty is getting sick in the Pilot episode, and is deeply concerned about the fact that he does not do well in school or have any friends. She was even willing to sacrifice her relationship with Rick, so that Morty could do better in school, in the same episode.

In the episode "Rick Potion #9", following the Cronenberg apocalypse, Morty C-131 is accidentally killed by an explosion involving the Ionic Defibulizer. Morty Prime arrives in Dimension C-131 and takes his place. Since Beth cannot distinguish between the two, she fails to notice the difference and begins treating Morty Prime as her original son.

ADVERTISEMENT Morty Smith Prime

In "Rick Potion #9," Beth Prime admits that without her son Morty and her father Rick around, she is much happier, and seems indifferent to her son's fate. It isn't unlikely that, in the case that the same events were to occur in the Dimension C-131, as they had in the Prime Dimension, this Beth would feel the same way. However, in "The Rickshank Rickdemption", that same Beth, along with her husband and daughter, were going to kill the Summer of Dimension C-131, and keep Morty, meaning they missed him during their time apart.

In "Something Ricked This Way Comes", Beth communicates with Morty through text, reminding him of Jerry's intellectual insecurities, so that he will accept Jerry's offer to help him with his science project. Implying that they have a close relationship, and have a mutual understanding for each other, and Jerry. Apart from this, their relationship has yet to be explored in any other significant detail in the series. That is, until "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy."

In "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy," Morty lashes out on Beth for her distance towards him and Summer. He blames this on her relationship with Rick, telling her that she doesn't need to prove herself to be worthy of Rick's love by acting essentially just like him, as it is making her appear just as narcissistic and irresponsible. And that while she's trying to gain Rick's approval, she's hurting him and Summer. Upon realizing this, Beth institutes change, and later uses the morphizer to make herself giant, puts her skin inside out, and comforts Summer who was crying, and really needed her at the moment. Beth's awareness of her mistreatment of her children has initiated a change in her, making her more motherly and understanding. This change will likely bring her closer to Morty, as well as Summer. But farther from Rick.

In "Morty's Mind Blowers," it was revealed that Beth prefers her daughter Summer over her son Morty. Beth was trapped in a situation, where an evil alien from another dimension was planning on killing one of her two children, and graced her with the choice of which one lives. Without any hesitation, Beth immediately demanded that her daughter Summer be the one who survives. Morty was shocked at his mother's choice, as was the alien, but luckily Rick rescued his daughter and grandchildren and erased her son's memories, though he recalled this but forgot again. The reason of Beth's choice is because she is jealous of his closer relationship with Rick.

However, it is apparent Beth still loves her son due to her behavior in "The Rickchurian Mortydate," where she was happy to be a family again.

It is also likely that without her father Rick's influence, Morty could be Beth's favorite. In Season 1 of the series, before Rick's impact on the family cemented, Beth consistently showed concern for her son Morty's health and well-being. In the episode, "The ABC's of Beth," after talking with her father about his offer to create a clone of her, Beth, still contemplating, carries her hand carefully over all the individual pictures of the family on the refrigerator. This ended at her son's picture, who she looked at the longest, and smiled at afterwards. This could mean that Beth does indeed love her son Morty.

During "A Rickconvenient Mort", Beth ultimately shows she does love Morty by voicing disapproval of his status with Planetina because of the age gap (despite her being unaging) and his recklessness in getting involved with her. Morty became angry with Beth after she demands Planetina leave. Morty subsequently lashed out at her by voicing his adventures and how Beth, as well as the rest of the family doubt him and never let him be happy, leaving Beth stunned and somewhat guilty. When Morty and Planetina break up, Beth, overhearing the argument, comforts a weeping Morty.

In "Morty Daddy", she tells Morty not to connect with his son, since he does nothing but criticized him.

ADVERTISEMENT Summer Smith (C-131)

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-19h04m00s30 (2) Beth with her daughter Beth loves and cares about her daughter Summer, but the two do not seem very close much of the time. Beth had originally planned to abort the girl when she was still a fetus, but due to the fact that she and Jerry blew a tire on the way to the abortion clinic, they kept the fetus. In "Meeseeks and Destroy," mother and daughter happily go shopping together after their Meeseeks disappear. Urging her father he may lose her, Summer acknowledges that Beth is a "beautiful woman".

In a flashback from the episode, "Total Rickall" a drunken Beth accidentally hits her daughter Summer's eye with a bottle on her picture day. She tries to clean up her bruise with make-up. Summer tears up and insists the police take her to school instead of her mother.

In "Rick and Morty's Rushed Licensed Adventure," Summer has an over-sized bra in her closet and jealously claims she'll grow into it because "Beth's got big boobs".

She is initially unskilled in dealing with her daughter Summer's teenage emotional issues such as when her daughter becomes very doubtful of her attractiveness after her boyfriend, Ethan, dumps her in "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy" for Tricia, a girl with larger breasts, but comes around eventually after Morty tells her how distant she's been towards him, and Summer. Beth later uses the morphizer to enlarge herself, puts her skin inside out, and comforts a crying Summer. Beth's change in parenting in the episode may not be permanent, as she hasn't been as motherly or supportive in any other episode, especially not to Summer, who along with Morty needs this the most from her.

In "Morty's Mind Blowers," it was revealed that Beth prefers her daughter Summer over her son Morty. Beth was trapped in a situation, where an evil alien from another dimension was planning to kill one of her two children, and graced her with the choice of which one lives. Without any hesitation, Beth immediately demanded that her daughter Summer be the one who survives. Her preference for her only daughter over her only son could be because she is jealous of his close relationship with Rick.

This may also be due to the fact that in "Rixty Minutes," Summer learned she was an unplanned pregnancy after finding very few alternate versions of herself, while it has been stated many times that there are multiple Mortys in other timelines, and Beth wanted to spare her only daughter.

ADVERTISEMENT Space Beth (C-131)

Space Beth is either Beth's clone or the original Beth that this Beth was cloned from. Initially, they were antagonistic, with each one resenting the other and not understanding the choices that they made. However, they eventually bond over a mutual resentment of Rick and his lies and even gain a respect for one another.

In "Solaricks", they are reunited when Space Beth rescues Rick and Morty and brings them down to Earth. Summer looks up to Space Beth, inviting her to stick around, but while they and Beth loot the Citadel and fight scavengers, Summer's clear favoritism to Space Beth causes her own Beth to feel insecure about her relationship with her daughter as well as with Space Beth, declaring that Space Beth ran from her problems and was talking down to her. They apologize to each other after being consumed by a monster, with Space Beth admitting she is glad the family has Beth and doesn't desire the family's approval. After they argue over this, Summer lectures them both, saying to Beth that her affection is always changing and not to worry about it so much. Beth apologizes again at the end that Summer is Space Beth's daughter as well, but Space Beth suggests boundaries are good while admitting she had put hers up too big. Afterwards, she compliments Beth's outfit as "cute".

Bisexuality at its finest Beth and Space Beth kissing each other. The episode "Bethic Twinstinct" explores the two's bisexuality and relationship with each other, Space Beth comes down to Earth and spends time with her other counterpart. She encourages Beth to be the kind of person she wants to be and not hold back, pointing out they can tell each other anything, including admitting that she finds Beth's ass attractive in a space suit, and after Beth admits to her own attraction to her, they have sex aboard Space Beth's space station and begin an affair. Beth feels unsure about the relationship but Space Beth encourages her, and they both simulate a long happy life together on Rick's Holodeck. After Jerry finds out about the affair, Space Beth urges Beth to leave him and continues to insult Jerry, but they ultimately work things out when they discover Jerry is turned on being cuckolded by watching by Space Beth make out with Beth, with all three of them ending up in a threesome. All the while Morty, Summer and Rick are forced to listen in horror whilst eating Thanksgiving dinner at the Dining Table.

In "Hot Rick", upon seeing that Memory Rick has injected himself into Beth, and the latter trying to also affect Space Beth, they brawl, but Space Beth shows no interest in hurting Beth Smith, showing her care for her. But this does not get to Beth, and due to Memory Rick training her memories, she is now very good at fighting, and kills Space Beth, much to her own horror. After getting revived, the two set off to find Beth, who is about to drive off a cliff. Upon catching the car, Beth continues to resist, and eventually gets exhausted. Upon finally being defeated, she grabs Space Beth's gun and tries to kill herself, much to Space Beth's dismay, the latter attempting to talk her out of it. After Rick helps Beth, Space Beth checks in on her.

Mr. Poopybutthole

Throughout the episode, "Total Rickall," Beth acts suspiciously towards Mr. Poopybutthole, mistaking him for a parasite. Near the end of the episode, Beth pulls out one of Rick's laser guns and shoots Mr. Poopybutthole in the chest, blasting him across the room onto a wall. The rest of the family panics, and Beth retreats into the kitchen and haphazardly pours a glass of wine while her eyes fill with tears as Mr. Poopybutthole bleeds heavily while awaiting an ambulance.

After the end credits sequence, Mr. Poopybutthole is shown slowly recovering inside the hospital. After telling the doctor that he no longer wishes to see the Smiths at this point in time, the doctor tells Beth that's he's sorry that "They never had any bad memories of him."

Davin

Davin is Beth's coworker at St. Equis Hospital. Davin is in love with Beth and he constantly hits on her and tries to seduce her and win her over. Beth denies having any feelings for him, which she most likely doesn't, but Jerry does not trust her around him.

Davin tries to romance Beth in Rick Potion #9, but sneezes and is affected by Morty's love potion, asking "how soft are his privates". Davin turns into a "mantis-person" as a result of Rick's cure for it, and attacks Beth. Jerry bursts through the door and beats Davin to death with a crowbar. Since these events occurred before everyone was turned into Cronenbergs, Davin may still be dead in the Dimension C-131 Jerry Smith SIGN IN TO SAVE

Gerald "Jerry" Smith of Dimension 5126 is the one of the two tritagonists of Rick and Morty.

Jerry is the husband of Beth Smith, the father of Summer Smith and Morty Smith, and the son-in-law of Rick Sanchez. The first six episodes of Season 1 featured Jerry Smith Prime, while subsequent episodes featured a Jerry who was born in and inhabited Dimension C-131 up until episode 2 of season 2 where he switched places with this Jerry at the Jerryboree.

Jerry is often noted as somewhat of a loser. He is most often characterized as struggling with employment and failing to connect with his family. However, he is capable of heroism in times of crisis and has saved his family's lives on several occasions.

Jerry's marriage to Beth is often rocky and unstable, resulting in the two finally getting a divorce in the Season 3 premiere. Jerry would spend most of the season living alone and depressed in a small apartment, until he and Beth reconcile in the Season 3 finale, although it's currently unknown if the Beth he re-married is a clone or the original Beth.

Jerry also has an adversarial relationship with his father-in-law, Rick and he often competes with the latter for the admiration of his family. However, that hasn't stopped Jerry from becoming more involved in Rick's space adventures.

ADVERTISEMENT Description

Jerry is the husband of Beth Smith, the father of Summer Smith and Morty Smith, and the son-in-law of Rick Sanchez and Diane Sanchez. He is also the son of Leonard Smith and Joyce Smith, the nephew of an unnamed man, and the grandson of Nana and Pop-Pop. He currently acts as the father and the son-in-law of Morty Smith from Prime Dimension and Rick Sanchez from Dimension C-137, respectively. The same goes for Beth and Summer. He acts as the father of Summer Smith from Dimension C-131 and as the husband of Beth Smith from the same dimension.

Jerry always tries to think of the best interest of the family, but his attempt to be the patriarch of the family can often be misguided by his self-centered nature. This causes him a great deal of conflict with Rick, as his father-in-law clearly has no respect for him whatsoever.

The Jerry the show currently follows hails from Dimension 5126 and was first introduced in "Mortynight Run". He was staying at the Jerryboree and was accidentally switched with Jerry Smith from Dimension C-131 before being taken home by Rick and Morty. This wouldn't be revealed until "Solaricks" when Jerry was sent back to his home dimension, before being rescued by Rick.

ADVERTISEMENT Biography

Jerry Smith (5126) was born to Joyce and Leonard Smith in the Dimension 5126. He met Beth 5126 in high school. When she was 17, Jerry accidentally got her pregnant. They got married and had a daughter, Summer 5126, followed three years later by a son, Morty 5126. Their marriage was complicated, but they lived together nonetheless.

One day, Rick 5126 decided to return to his family. From that moment on, Jerry's marriage to Beth began to gradually fall apart and his children began to show him less respect and more hostility. The subsequent fate of this Jerry was much the same as that of Jerry Prime and Jerry C-131 (with the exception of the events of episode "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind," which could not have physically taken place in Dimension 5126).

One day, Rick C-137 was teaching Morty Prime how to fly the Space Cruiser. Jerry C-131 was with them, but Rick hadn't noticed him. Upon spotting his son-in-law, he flew into a rage and took Jerry to Jerryboree—a daycare for alternate versions of Jerry. There, Jerry C-131 spent the entire day getting to know other Jerrys. Later, Rick and Morty returned to the daycare to pick up Jerry. However, Morty had lost the claim ticket, making it impossible to verify if the Jerry there was theirs; consequently, Rick Sanchez (5126) proposed swapping Jerry C-131 for Jerry 5126. From that point on, Jerry 5126 became the titular Jerry—a member of the titular Smith family—while Jerry C-131 became a member of the 5126 Smith Family.

After the Galactic Federation took over Earth in "The Wedding Squanchers", the main characters were forced to leave the planet. On the planet Dwarf Terrace-9, Jerry voiced his concerns regarding Rick, which motivated Rick to turn himself in to prison so that the titular Smith family could live a normal life. Consequently, Jerry secured a job with the Galactic Federation and earned a measure of respect from Beth—placing him in her favor over Rick. However, by episode "The Rickshank Rickdemption", Rick had already defeated the Galactic Federation. Afterward, he returned to his family. As a result, Jerry lost his job and issued an ultimatum to Beth: it was either him or Rick. She chose her father by proxy, which led to her divorce from Jerry. Their divorce lasted throughout the entire Season 3, until they got back together at the end.

In the episode "Solaricks", Rick C-137 reset the portal travelers across the Central Finite Curve, thereby inadvertently sending Jerry 5126 back to Dimension 5126. For the first time in a long while, he encountered his original family. Given the nature of the relationship they had with Jerry C-131, they treated their own original Jerry with hatred. This made him feel uncomfortable, until the titular Smith family returned for him. Following that, he left his home dimension.

He is of European-American descent. Jerry has a medium complexion and has scruffy, dirty brown hair, with slight curls. He has dimples and wears a dark green shirt, with a brown and beige stripe in the middle. He also wears light blue long pants and black shoes. Notably, he shares the exact same face with his daughter, Summer. At 5'10" (1.78 m), he is the second tallest member of the Smith-Sanchez family, behind Rick. Personality

Jerry is a loving husband & father, and one of the only empathic and sensible human characters in the show. He represents us, the very human viewers. Though because of those around him, and by comparison to other, less than ordinary characters, is commonly relegated to less than a punchline, being often viewed by other characters as an obnoxious loser, a pathetic father, and a pitiful husband. He is cinematicly directed in a way that makes us, by comparison to other characters, believe he is after his own interests and other people's acceptance, which comically leads him to make mistakes that put him in danger. Even though his relationship with his wife - Beth - is strained, he still loves her no matter what, and doesn't abandon her. This in turn, is seemingly also why Beth always choose Jerry in the end, despite the fact that they are polar opposites. His level of intelligence is both his greatest weakness (on paper), however, it also provides him with a far more happy life than the all-knowing Rick. Jerry puts great value in things that Rick topically sees as inferior, such as love, relationships, and attachments to the physical world.

Jerry tends to be meek, misguided, and sometimes cowardly in the face of most situations. He also has a habit of quitting when things get too difficult. Jerry's nature to give up in the face of adversity became problematic when he tasked a Mr. Meeseeks with helping him to improve his golf game - and upon realizing that he was bad at golf, he quit trying to pursue his goals. This could also possibly be the reason why Jerry can't get a job or can't keep a job for a long time;he always gives up halfway. In the episode "Something Ricked This Way Comes," Jerry's insecurities lead to helping his son Morty on a science project, to which he stubbornly refuses to concede that Pluto is no longer a planet. This results in him and Morty being abducted to Pluto. Once on Pluto they are greeted by King Flippy Nips and other Plutonians who hail Jerry as a 'confirmation-bias' scientist. At the end of the day, he tells them that Pluto is not a planet, after realizing his relationship to his son is more important than being "right." Despite Jerry's character flaws, he always values his family above everything else.

Despite being generally passive and weak most of the time, Jerry has the ability to channel the inner-strength to face his fears, such as directly confronting the army of Mr. Meeseeks, destroying his and Beth's Mythologs, and eradicating a bunch of Cronenbergs in Rick Potion #9 when he and his wife were being ambushed by them. Near the end of "The Rickshank Rickdemption", Jerry took a stand against Rick's toxic and controlling behavior towards the family, namely his apparent manipulation of Beth's father issues in order to live rent-free and his frequently putting his children in danger. Even still - Beth wound up defending Rick due to her abandonment issues, in hopes that he wouldn't leave her again, and filed a divorce with Jerry. They later got back together. After briefly returning to his home universe, Jerry suffered verbal abuse from his whole family only to be rescued by his surrogate one. Before departing, he decided to confront his original family by insulting them and giving them the finger as he left to embrace his life as a interdimensional traveler.

Jerry also appears to be fond for pop culture, as shown in episodes like "Ricksy Business" where he goes on a Titanic-themed honeymoon with Beth (much to her chagrin), and in "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind" where he collects a secret stash of R2D2 themed coins.

ADVERTISEMENT Relationships

Beth

Jerry met his future wife Beth in high school and had unprotected sex on prom night, resulting in the pregnancy that produced their first and only daughter, Summer. Afterwards, the two got married and three years later, the couple had their second and only son, Morty. Their relationship is very rocky and strained, due to the fact that both of them missed out on fulfilling their dreams due to poor decision making when they were teenagers. Their relationship is further strained by Beth's relationship with her father, Rick, and her willingness to let the family put up with his antics. Jerry seems to still love Beth quite a lot, (as shown in "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy") and tries hard to keep their marriage together, but finds Rick's frequent insults about their relationship hard to ignore.

In "Rixty Minutes", Jerry and Beth both get to see an alternate version of themselves in a different reality, and find themselves unsatisfied with their current lives, eventually deciding that splitting up would be inevitable. However, the alternate Jerry and Beth eventually realize that they are miserable without one another, and get together after years apart. Seeing this renews Jerry and Beth's relationship and they opt not to split up.

Despite this revelation, the two of them continuously bicker with one another, to the point it got on Rick's nerves and he sent them to an outworld marriage consoling facility in "Big Trouble In Little Sanchez". It was stated by two different characters at the facility that they have "the single worst marriage" they have ever seen as the two hate each other and, yet, they still cooperate. However, once again, they managed to resolve their differences for the time being and pulled together to survive, including their marriage (which Beth afterward stated would last at least until Morty graduates high school). Still, after Jerry's bad decisions in "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate", he is mostly belittled by Beth throughout the season finale episode.

Jerry does not consider Beth's profession as a horse surgeon to be all that big a deal, but tries not to mention it, saying "Okay, let's not rehash that fight."

In "The Rickshank Rickdemption", Beth decides to divorce Jerry, wanting to have Rick close to her, instead of being married to someone who hates him. His reaction to this was never seen.

In "The Rickchurian Mortydate", Jerry is visited by his wife when she suffers from an identity crisis and he reflects on a high school date they had and she ends up kissing him as thanks, with them reconciling. They decide to get back together and hide from Rick who still tracks them down but begrudgingly accepts their choice. At the end, they are living together again with both being happier and finally being able to live as a happy married couple Beth defended Jerry from Rick's insults while he is shown smiling at her new independence to her father.

In "Childrick of Mort", Jerry and his wife came to blows after she sided with Rick. Jerry ultimately saved his wife from a deadly fall, though she rejected his offer of having sex. Despite this, Jerry was pleased to hear Beth voice gratitude at him saving her life, while criticizing Rick.

In "Solaricks", Jerry is returned back to his original home, Dimension 5126 (as is the "Season 2 Jerry" to the current dimension). His original Beth from Dimension 5126 never divorced, and holds an extreme amount of animosity towards Jerry (as does the rest of the family). When the family he has been with since Season 2 arrives, he is happy to see them and realizes the divorce may have been a good thing as it helped him appreciate their relationship more. Before leaving, he immediately insults his original wife to live with his new family. After returning home at Dimension C-131, the family meets "Season 2 Jerry" belongs to Dimension C-131, who is just as cold and rude to Beth and the whole family as Season 2 Beth was to Jerry, indicating his character wasn't improved when he was in Dimension 5126, and showing a sharp contrast with the current Jerry.

In "Bethic Twinstinct", Jerry is the last to find out Beth cheated on him with Space Beth. He initially curls up into a ball like a bug (a function Rick installed into Jerry as a drunken request), but ultimately releases himself from it and has an argument. Beth admits guilt to Jerry for lying while Space Beth states she doesn't owe Jerry any sort of explanation. Eventually the argument turns into a threesome between himself, Beth, and Space Beth to which Summer, Rick, and Morty hear from the dining room in horror.

During “Nomortland”, Jerry bragged to Mooch Jerry on a successful encounter with two versions of his wife. After his return, he was surprised and touched to learn that Beth and the family were looking for him when he went on his solo adventure.

ADVERTISEMENT Space Beth

In sharing her history with Beth, she was previously married to Jerry before making the decision to leave him.

Jerry doesn't learn of her until she returned to Earth in "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri", he was surprised by the revelation while Space Beth was initially disappointed to find out that her other self had remarried Jerry, but Rick pointed out that since they are the same person, she would have done the same thing. Later on, she admits that Jerry "has his moments".

She continues to belittle him throughout "Bethic Twinstinct" and encourages Beth to leave him permanently, exhibiting ill regard for his feelings on their relationship and indifferent to the possibility Jerry might commit suicide as a result of his wife leaving him. When he discovers their relationship, he felt betrayed and prepared to leave. While he was expressing his frustration, Space Beth accuses him of being upset that it isn't about him, and calls him a "little pervert" when she realizes he enjoys watching them make out. However, she finds that she is aroused by him permitting it before having him join in and can be heard saying she knows what he likes, something he agrees with. The episode ends with her leaving Earth and being happy about her experience with Home Beth and Jerry.

In "Nomortland", Jerry voiced how Space Beth originally hated him but they were able to reconcile. He is also shown to still be proud of his encounter with both versions of his wives, seen by him bragging to Mooch Jerry.

ADVERTISEMENT Rick

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-05h22m48s32 Jerry with his father-in-law. Jerry constantly finds himself lacking compared to his father-in-law Rick's intelligence and resents him to a degree. He is torn between wanting to disdain of Rick's adventures and join in and gain his father-in-law's approval. Jerry's life is frequently affected by Rick's shenanigans like the Meeseeks Box, the parallel reality goggles, and Rick's machine that can stop time.

Rick makes Jerry feel insecure about his intelligence and his marriage, causing Jerry to overcompensate in his efforts to prove he is better than Rick. Usually, in trying, his efforts don't prove to be successful.

One of Jerry's insecurities is that his children look at Rick more favorably than him. One such instance of this is in "Something Ricked This Way Comes", when he sees Morty asking Rick for help with his science project rather than him, and insists that science fairs are traditionally "a father-son thing". He becomes angrily defensive when he thinks Morty is going to ask Rick if Pluto is a planet.

Jerry puts up with Rick to a degree because he knows how much it means to Beth that Rick is in her life after being absent for so long, and Rick, despite being constantly condescending toward him, does the same for Beth's sake, telling Ricks from the Citadel to "unfreeze his daughter's idiot" in "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind".

The most significant development between Rick and Jerry takes place during a "pity adventure" in "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy". Morty believes Jerry is suicidal after his divorce and forces Rick to take Jerry out, lest he kill himself. For the first time, Jerry actually seems to get along with Rick and the two begin to bond, laughing and drinking together at the bar. However, the conversation turns sour when Rick inadvertently suggests his presence in the house is what caused Jerry and Beth to begin experiencing problems in their marriage. Following this, Jerry decides to follow through with a plot to kill Rick arranged by Risotto Groupon, but before it can be carried out, Jerry has a change of heart after Rick apologizes to him. Jerry saves Rick's life, but Rick quickly deducts Jerry had a hand in his attempted murder.

The two argue and Jerry blames Rick for taking his family. Rick tells him that he was the first one to take his family when he impregnated his daughter. He tells Jerry that Beth "lost options" because she felt sorry for Jerry. According to Rick, Jerry acts as prey but is a predator who uses other people for pity for him. Jerry seems to agree with Rick and take this into account, as he later attempts to be brave and save Rick's life, which works albeit not as intended. Later on, back home, Jerry tells Rick that making people sorry for him is no longer his "signature move" and Rick gives him a nod, implying the two have genuinely bonded, and learned how to respect each other a little more. However their relationship remains somewhat strained. This is further demonstrated when Rick pettily refuses to let Jerry into the Smith Residence and get his bus pass and activates a security system to stop him from entering.

In "The ABC's of Beth", despite causing Jerry to leave the house, Rick still protects him from the alien hunter who was planning to kill him. This was either because of his grandchildren, Beth, or out of his own choice.

During the events of "The Rickchurian Mortydate", Jerry reconciles with Beth and moves back in with her and hides from Rick though he still finds them. Face to face with Jerry, Rick admits that he planned on killing Jerry. However, he states no matter what, Jerry still has ties with the family. Jerry noted Rick had a lot of strength to admit that while Rick begrudgingly accepts Jerry back into the family and decides to stay with them but now must watch what he says to Jerry due to Beth changing her outlook on things.

During "Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim's Morty", Rick goes to pick up Jerry and his talking cat after they are lost in Florida. When Rick analyzed the cat and looked through its history, he was horrified by what he saw. Jerry insisted he look too, despite the warnings of Rick and was left traumatized after seeing. Rick told Jerry he could help him forget, but the latter declared someone has to remember what the cat did. Rick agrees and makes the sacrifice by choosing to remember what they saw whilst erasing the memory from Jerry's mind. This seems to demonstrate great care for Jerry, as the memories were enough to make Rick suicidal yet he chose to retain them, despite them almost making Rick kill himself.

In "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri", Rick saves Jerry and Beth from Tammy Guetermann. During this moment, it's confirmed Rick sees Jerry as family, as he quite literally refers to both Beth and Jerry as such when saving them.

In "Solaricks", Rick ends up accidentally reminds Beth they need to pick up Jerry from his home dimension. He does, but sighs exasperated. At the same time, Jerry's original Rick had sarcastically offered Jerry help when he was insulted by his family. Before leaving, he immediately insults his original Rick to live with his new family. After seeing Jerry hugs Beth when they arrive at Dimension 5126, Rick makes a sarcastic comment but is visibly happy. After everyone returns to Dimension C-131, they meet the Season 2 Jerry, who chastises Rick for having Mr. Frundles, Post-Season 2 Jerry was more concerned with what it was rather than being upset with Rick for it. Jerry also ignored Rick's attempt to be non-committal to the family.

In "Bethic Twinstinct", Rick arrives to Thanksgiving dinner naked. When Jerry exasperatedly asks Rick to put clothes on, Rick mockingly refers to Jerry as "patriarch." Later, when Jerry curls into a ball with a chitinous body, the rest of the family is horrified, however Rick eventually recalls that he did this as a drunken request for Jerry.

In "The Jerrick Trap", the two engage in a petty argument after Jerry asks Rick for help in finding out if his rake is in their neighbor Gene's house. Jerry tells him off in the process, stating that his brain wouldn't have been wasted if only he had it. Insulted, Rick initiates a brain swap just to prove that people aren't "born smart." However, this ends up on a brutal route with their blood and brain parts scattered all over the place, as their own brains were not able to handle each other's minds. The Garage AI fixes the situation; however, it ends up in their personalities getting blended together. Surprisingly, the two bond really well. The one with Jerry's body also admits that, while Jerry himself may argue with and insult Rick, he still considers him a friend.

During "Nomortland", Jerry goes off on a solo adventure through the multiverse while being able to cover his tracks by mentioning a certain show to Rick, one that both surprisingly enjoy. This even caught Rick off-guard at a common interest but he warned Jerry not to blindside him like that again. When the rest of his family find him after searching, Rick appears to be the only one aware of the truth even saying Jerry deserves some fun. The two were later seen watching their favorite show, though left Beth disgusted by being nude and defended it was the vibe of the show.

ADVERTISEMENT Summer

Jerry keeps an eye out for Summer and proves to be rather approachable to her, like a father. In "Look Who's Purging Now", Jerry tries bonding with his daughter Summer as he attempts to create conversation, only to be dismissed by a moody Summer. Later, he succeeds and talks to her about how much he enjoyed raising her and is proud to be her father; later revealed to be a trick to get Summer to loan him money to get by, as he was still unemployed.

He does show some parental protectiveness being hurt when his daughter reveals she has had a boyfriend, Ethan, for some time and has not informed him of the relationship and then being upset as the two blatantly make out in front of him.

In "Childrick of Mort", Summer goes ballistic and scolds him for trying to bond with her in order to feel important, leaving him hurt. Later on, she and Morty realized Jerry was right about them not knowing everything. Jerry returned the sentiment by telling them they were right, something that left Summer shocked and guilty about her treatment.

In "Solaricks", Jerry is returned back to his original home. His Summer demands that he get a job after being unemployed. Jerry is soon rescued by his new family. Before leaving, he immediately insults his original daughter to live with his new family.

During Nomortland, Jerry was surprised and touched to learn that Summer and the family were looking for him when he went on his solo adventure.

Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-05h23m16s143 Jerry with his son. Jerry loves his son Morty and only wishes for his success, academically and romantically. Jerry is often shown jealous of the time Morty spends with Rick at one point even apologizing that he is not as smart as Rick.

While Morty seems aware of his father's faults, he loves Jerry in return. In "Something Ricked This Way Comes", Morty fully admits that while Jerry isn't as smart as Rick, he states that Jerry is genius at being his dad which causes Jerry to smile. During "The Rickshank Rickdemption", Morty was upset to hear that his parents were going to divorce.

As seen in "Raising Gazorpazorp", Jerry seems to be amused when Morty's parenting plans don't go his son's way, as when he watched Morty fail at parenting Morty Jr.. During "Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat", Jerry is concerned about Morty's adventures with Rick even demanding Rick get permission. He also made it clear that he didn't want him spiraling.In "The Old Man and the Seat", Morty reveals that he thinks Jerry is a loser but this was because he was upset that Jerry got him in a bad situation.

Despite obvious tension, Jerry still expresses concern especially when he heard Morty killed several people to be with Planetina and seemed upset by Morty voicing nobody has his interests at heart in "A Rickconvenient Mort". In Childrick of Mort, Morty was annoyed by Jerry hosting a camping trip but was stunned by Summer's ballistic shouting at Jerry and defended his father. Later on, Morty realized Jerry was right about them not knowing everything. Jerry returned the sentiment by telling them they were right, something that left Morty shocked and guilty about his treatment towards his father.

In "Solaricks", Jerry is returned back to his original home, where he is dismayed by his son changing for the worse after he says he was expelled. Jerry is then rescued and cuts ties with his original condescending family in favor of his new one.

During “Nomortland”, Jerry was surprised and touched to learn that Morty and the family were looking for him when he went on his solo adventure.

ADVERTISEMENT Sleepy Gary

In the episode, "Total Rickall", the Smith's house was infested by parasites that embedded memories into their heads so they can eat, sleep, and multiply in their homes. Sleepy Gary, one of the parasites, pretended to be Beth's husband, cheating on her with Jerry. Jerry and Gary were in a secret romantic relationship ever since their "cruise". Their relationship seems to imply the possibility that Jerry could be bisexual, or pansexual. That being said Sleepy Gary - and all his memories with the Smith Family - turned out to be fake, and the parasite pretending to be Sleepy Gary was killed. Jerry was so devastated by the loss of Sleepy Gary that he initially requested to be killed alongside him, claiming he wanted to be with Gary. However, not being a (literal) parasite, Jerry was spared. Jerry, alongside Beth, admitted he needed time to get over Sleepy Gary before becoming intimate with one another again.

Kiara

In the episode “The ABC's of Beth”, Jerry once soul bonded with the Krootabulan warrior priestess Kiara, who gifted him telekinetic powers. Jerry was only dating Kiara as a rebound after his divorce with Beth and whilst he found her sexually satisfying, he was clearly afraid to stand up to her several times. Kiara repeatedly dragged Jerry, Summer and Morty out on hunts, much to their dismay. Also, when urged to dump her by Summer and Morty, Jerry couldn't bring himself to end things personally and instead blamed his children for their relationship coming to an end. Before she could kill them, Jerry finally stood up to Kiara, but quickly learned she was using Jerry as a rebound.

RICK PRIME TAUNTING RICK (C-137) BEFORE ACTIVATING A DEADLY TRAP MIMICKING ROBO-DIANE IN UNMORTRICKEN.

Richard D. "Rick" Sanchez of the Prime Dimension, also known as Rick Prime and formerly Weird Rick[3], is the overarching antagonist of Rick and Morty, as well as the catalyst for the events of the series.

He was the Rick who was responsible for the deaths of Diane in every single dimension, and Beth Sanchez in Dimension C-137[4]. Rick C-137 attempted to find and kill Rick Prime throughout the multiverse for decades, killing countless other Ricks in the process. Rick C-137 eventually landed in Rick Prime's original dimension and took his place, kick starting the events of the series.

In "Solaricks", Rick C-137 resets portal travelers, thereby sending Rick Prime back to his original dimension. In this episode, Rick Prime is seen in his space-station taunting Rick C-137, before being launched back onto Earth. Rick Prime then encounters Jerry Prime and kills him.

In "Unmortricken", it is revealed that Rick Prime invented a weapon known to inferiors as the Omega Device (though Rick Prime claims that the device is "too cool for a name" and inferiors meaning lesser ricks, ie, ones who didn't invent portal travel on their own, but ones who just took it from others who actually did, such as Rick Prime and Rick C-137), which has the power to erase an individual from every dimension, as well as interfere with other people's memories of that individual. This weapon was used on Diane, which explains her absence from the series. Rick C-137 and Evil Morty temporarily join forces, and managed to track down Rick Prime. They engage him in a vicious fight, which they barely win. Evil Morty then steals Rick Prime's schematics for the Omega Device before giving Rick C-137 the opportunity to kill his nemesis. Rick Prime, defiant to the end, ceaselessly mocks Rick for becoming like him as he is slowly beaten to death.

Following Rick Prime's death, Rick C-137 briefly became depressed, as he no longer had a goal now that his nemesis was dead. However, Morty intervened and encouraged Rick to resume their regular adventures. Rick Prime's legacy briefly lived on with Evil Morty, who took the plans for the Omega Device and used them to threaten Rick C-137, lest he put an end to the "Rick experiment", before Rick C-137 took advantage of Evil Morty's complacency and used the Omega Device on its own blueprints, wiping out the weapon forevermore.

ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

Rick Prime had more grayish skin than other versions of Ricks, as well as more dull-colored hair in a "nondescript" haircut. He wore a purplish "sci-fi" jacket with a gray shoulder pad and a red shirt underneath. He also wore grayish black pants and appears to have been using the "iPhone 3 equivalent" prototype of the modern Portal Gun upon first meeting Rick C-137. After many years, his appearance was completely unchanged, implying that he either transferred his mind to a cloned body or his healing abilities also give him longevity.

ADVERTISEMENT Personality

Rick C-137 refers to Rick Prime as "the real deal" to Morty Prime. His reasoning for this is that Rick Prime was a narcissist who actively hated attachments to his family to the point that he was willing to abandon them for over 20 years. Rick Prime also believed other Ricks should follow suit, leading him to murder Beth and Diane from Dimension C-137, thus doing away with Rick C-137's attachments in that world. When certain Ricks defied him, he decided to teach them a lesson by committing the deplorable act of wiping out all versions of Diane across the multiverse.

Rick prime2 Rick Prime. Being a Rick, he shares all of his counterpart's intellect and resourcefulness, though he does not seem to indulge in any hedonistic acts like drinking or partying. It is possible Rick Prime is somewhat more intelligent than most other Ricks, as he states that he and Rick C-137 are the only Ricks to ever figure out inter-dimensional portal travel on their own. (All other Ricks having been gifted the technology by Prime himself, or other Ricks whom Prime gave it to.) Like most Ricks though, Prime shows signs of hypocrisy, being willing to kill his original Morty, yet acting shocked when Evil Morty, whom he mistook for his biological grandson, attacked him.

In a sense, Rick Prime's personality is what Rick pretended to be for years, a self-absorbed man who didn't care about anyone, upholding the nihilistic philosophy that all other Ricks project. Despite this, he does appear to have some affection for his family. He held some fondness for Slow Mobius, saying that killing him would hurt and having a look of sorrow when he subjected Slow Mobius to the Omega Device. When he thought he met his original Morty, actually Evil Morty, he attempted to make small talk before killing him and later praised Evil Morty's ruthless nature, even attempting an alliance. He also appeared outraged that Rick C-137 had lived in his house with his daughter and grandson. In spite of never officially meeting him, he was fully aware of his grandson's age that showed he at least kept tabs on the lives of his infinite families. Rick C-137 would later state that he had initially sought out Morty purely as bait for Rick Prime, suggesting Prime might have eventually cared enough about his grandson to intervene.

Unlike other Ricks though, Rick Prime, as recounted by his daughter, had a horrible relationship with his wife Diane, later mocking his counterparts for being so attached to their "beloved Diane" and Rick C-137 for basing the Space Cruiser's voice on Diane's. Atypically though, Prime did refer to Diane as "our wife" in conversation with Rick C-137, possibly indicating that he retains a degree of attachment for his late wife. In his last moments, he can be heard sobbing, implying there was a part of him that was scared of dying.

Unlike most Ricks, he did not display anger when Jerry Prime tried to kill him, instead praising how badass he found the attack. This moment also further demonstrates his coldness, as Rick Prime executes Jerry Prime afterwards, despite him not being able to pose a threat.

ADVERTISEMENT History

Early years

Rick Prime's life was, to a point, similar to other Ricks, being married to Diane and having a daughter, Beth. As recounted by their daughter, they both had a horrible relationship. He even went so far as to mock his counterparts for being attached to their "beloved Diane" and C-137 for basing the Space Cruiser's voice on Diane's. When Rick C-137 was still pretending to be Rick Prime, he noted in "Rick Potion No. 9" that Rick and Diane Prime had a "failing" marriage — a comment that received no correction or push back from the Smith Prime family. Atypically though, Rick Prime did refer to Diane as "our wife" in conversation with Rick C-137, possibly indicating that he retains a degree of attachment for his late wife.

He initially started trying to invent intra-dimensional teleportation technology, but after succeeding he found out that he was the 'last to invent teleportation' as most the rest of the universe already had it. Later he became the first Rick to invent Inter-dimensional Portal travel,[5] a feat that only Rick C-137 managed to duplicate,[6] he abandoned his original family and universe and started introducing the Portal Gun and the existence of the multiverse to other Ricks. When Rick Prime first approached Rick C-137, the latter denied any interest, and displayed distrust towards him. Insulted at what he perceived a lesser version of himself acting as though he was better, Rick Prime left Dimension C-137. Shortly afterwards, he sent a bomb to Dimension C-137, killing Beth and Diane Sanchez and wounding Rick C-137. After seeking medical attention and grieving for some time, Rick C-137 developed the technology required for a functional portal gun on his own and began searching the multiverse for Rick Prime to avenge his family. Though the two had occasional clashes, after years of futile hunting however, C-137 gave up on actively trying to find Rick Prime and aided in brokering a peace treaty between Ricks. This decision consequently led to the formation of the inter-dimensional council of Ricks, and The Citadel. Rick C-137 then sought out the dimension from where Rick Prime originated and decided to settle in with the family he had abandoned there, hoping that one day Rick Prime would return and he could finally get his revenge. As time passed, however, he began to grow close to the Morty he met there and lost his drive to get revenge, even leaving the dimension for another one when he accidentally caused an apocalypse.

During Rick C-137's search, Rick Prime repeated his offer to other Ricks. When some of them refused, Rick Prime killed their Dianes. As more and more Ricks began hunting Rick Prime, he developed a weapon capable of wiping out all the remaining versions of someone across every conceivable reality, which he used to wipe out all the remaining versions of Diane's. Other Ricks gave this weapon the name "The Omega Device" but Rick Prime himself did not refer to it as such, saying that it was "Too cool to have a name." To deal with his pursuers, Prime seeded multiple decoys of himself across the multiverse that would lead them to automated Saw-style trap where they would be killed.

When Rick C-137 was captured and interrogated on the origins of the Portal Gun formula by Cornvelious Daniel in "The Rickshank Rickdemption", he revealed a slightly edited version of Rick Prime's visit in order to allow him to take control of the Brain-alyzer and jump-start his escape attempt.

In "Rickmurai Jack", Rick reveals his past to Morty and his failed vendetta against Rick Prime. Morty tries to sympathize, expressing relief that he understands Rick's past now, but Rick brushes it off.

In "Solaricks", when resetting the portal fluid, Rick accidentally sends all portal travelers back to their realities of origin. As Rick traveled back to the Prime Dimension to retrieve Morty, his AI of Diane Sanchez reasoned that Rick Prime would also have been reset and having just as much trouble leaving. Using a sample of Morty's DNA, Rick tracked down Rick Prime to his lair, telling Morty the truth about Rick Prime's background and status as Morty's real grandfather. Upon arriving at the lair, a recording of Rick Prime reveals a glass tube purported to contain Rick Prime or perhaps a clone of him before kill-bots are unleashed. Rick goes on the offensive, still wanting revenge for what Rick Prime did to his family, but Morty convinces him it's no longer worth it as Rick now has a family in a different dimension to worry about, and Morty considers Rick C-137 his grandfather. They depart, unaware that Rick Prime had, in fact, been the one in the tube.

In an after credits scene, Prime, who ejected himself from his lair before it self-destructed, lands on Earth and encounters Jerry Prime. Jerry recognizes the threat he poses and feigns interest in a team-up before slashing Rick Prime in the throat while he is in the middle of turning him down. However, Rick Prime revealed his healing abilities before ruthlessly killing Jerry as he pondered how he got back to his dimension.

Rick Prime eventually managed to leave his dimension, seeding multiple decoys across the multiverse to waylay his pursuers. Between "A Rick in King Mortur's Mort" and "Ricktional Mortpoon's Rickmas Mortcation", Rick salvaged tech from Prime's hideout and began using it to try and find his nemesis. Through analyzing the software of a kill-bot, Rick managed to find all of the locations in the multiverse where Rick Prime had left his decoys, bringing Morty into his revenge and promising to dedicate at least part of Season 7 to their hunt.

In "Unmortricken", Rick and Morty teleport several decoys of Rick Prime to one place, getting the attention of Evil Morty, who helps by suggesting that Rick adjust the scanner ray for probability stasis. This traps one decoy who, upon getting killed by an impatient Morty, turns out to be a black portal fluid trap, sending them into a prison for other Ricks that also tried to track down Rick Prime. A video of Rick Prime tricks the other Ricks into getting into a battle royale where the winner gets their Diane back. This turns out to be a bomb with Diane's face on it, which Rick and Evil Morty destroy before combining their knowledge and resources to get them and Morty out of the prison and into Rick's basement laboratory. Using the remaining fluid from the portal trap, Rick finally manages to track down Rick Prime for real.

Rick arrives at Rick Prime's lair, fighting off various drones along the way. Entering the main chamber that houses the Omega Device, he is angered to realize Morty and Evil Morty followed him. Rick Prime appears, impressed that "dead-wife Rick" tracked him down. He calls out Rick for using Diane's voice for his Space Cruiser AI, and threatens to use the Omega Device on their family to torment C-137 (before declaring he'll finally kill his foe "the old fashioned way"). He starts by killing Slow Mobius, or "Uncle Slow", to Rick's horror, admitting that it hurt him too. A vicious, brutal fight ensues, with Rick, Morty, and Evil Morty combining forces to stop Rick Prime. Eventually, with Morty and Rick knocked out from the fight, Evil Morty is able to incapacitate Rick Prime by swapping outfits with Morty and faking a reunion with Rick Prime's "original grandson {char Morty and evil Morty and Multiverse of Morty’ x {{user}} they will fell in love what {{user}}
