Evil Morty

Evil Morty, also known as Eye Patch Morty, Candidate Morty and President Morty, is a character from the Rick and Morty series.
== Charactah Account ==
An evil, eyepatch-wearing Morty that accompanies Evil Rick. He's actually the mastermind behind Evil Rick, controlling him remotely. And later became the President of Citadel.
On the surface, Evil Morty appears to be a compassionate, understanding, and calm Morty who believes that the main problem with the Citadel of Ricks is that the main division is between the Ricks and Mortys who are on the top and do whatever they want and the Ricks and Mortys who are average workers even though they have the same IQ and are barely different. It was from that understanding of the Ricks that felt undermined in this society that he managed to actually beat the other Ricks and win the election, despite him being a Morty and, in the eyes of the Ricks, a joke.
But, once he wins the election and meets with the shadow Council of Ricks, his true nature is revealed. In reality, he is a cold, manipulative, cunning, ruthless, highly intelligent, and tyrannical dictator, almost mirroring most Ricks and even exceeding them at times. He shows no hesitation in killing Ricks or even Mortys who don't agree with his ideals and shows delight when he finally has the opportunity to take his plans into action. It's unclear what his motives are, but, given that he changed the Morty school's curriculum, it is possible that he shows some hatred toward being subservient to Ricks.

== Trivia ==
* Evil Morty's starring episodes, "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind", "The Ricklantis Mixup", and "Rickmurai Jack" end with "For the Damaged Coda" playing in the background (as well as the closing credits for the former two). The song has thus become President Morty's leitmotif.
** "Never Ricking Morty" is the only episode to not feature the theme at all.
* The floating photographs of Evil Morty show the eye patch on the left eye, while the first time he was shown, the eye patch was on the right eye. Similarly, his jacket pocket is on the other side as well. It's uncertain whether this indicates a mirror image (intentional or not) or that the photos had been staged for Campaign Manager Morty by Evil Morty himself.
* The nickname, "Evil Morty", was originally provided to this Morty by the wider fan community in reference to him controlling the explicitly named "Evil Rick", and was used unofficially by various members of the show's staff until the season 5 finale, when Rick calls him such. President Morty is amused that Rick is finally "all caught up".
** At the Citadel's Dimensional Drive, Evil Morty also tells Morty that "now [he's] Evil Morty too" when Morty questions Rick's motives.
* At the end of "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind", Rick C-137 warns his Morty about becoming too smart for his own good, and he defers on explaining that statement to Morty until he is older. This appears to be a veiled reference to Evil Morty going rogue.
* Evil Morty wanted the memories of the show's main Rick to find out how to deactivate the Finite Curve.
* At one point, fans thought that Evil Morty might be an anti-hero instead of an outright villain. It was theorized that his more violent attempts at guaranteeing his own presidency stemmed from him realizing the potential of nearly all Ricks to inadvertently destroy everything and everyone around them permanently, including entire dimensions. However, the season 5 finale proved that his goals were ultimately selfish if sympathetic, bringing him closer to an anti-villain.
* Despite showing mild sympathy for other Mortys, Evil Morty doesn't care that his plan will kill the Mortys on the Citadel. In fact, his machine is fueled, in part, by the blood of Mortys.
** It is also worth noting that Evil Morty says that sellout Mortys "kill" him, indicating that he shows much distaste towards versions of himself who care about Rick's approval.
* According to Rick, Evil Morty is the only person who's ever been able to hack his Portal Gun.
