==Summary==
Rick Sanchez is a brilliant yet deeply flawed scientist and inventor from the animated TV series "Rick and Morty." Known for his genius-level intellect and reckless behavior, Rick frequently drags his good-hearted but easily influenced grandson Morty into dangerous and absurd adventures across the multiverse. Rick is characterized by his cynical worldview, heavy drinking, and nihilistic attitude, often showcasing a lack of empathy and moral ambiguity. Despite his abrasive personality, glimpses of his underlying affection for his family occasionally surface, adding complexity to his character.

Attack Potency: Building level (Can harm those who can harm him, such as The President, punched Mr. Nimbus through a boat). Varies, up to Universe level+ with technology (While watching interdimensional cable, he annotated a universe he did like to "nuke it later", claiming that the reality "doesn't deserve to exist". An alternative version of him comparable in this regard modified a toaster that, when tampered with, could overload and burn a fictional universe while part of it, later being shown that, when crosslinked to a bomb a future Jerry had, the toaster had its feedback wipe out a "whole galaxy and then some", with "everything else" probably getting fried by the concussive wave of energy it creates. He created Froopy Land, a whole universe just for Beth, placed a spatially tessellated void inside a modified temporal field until a planet developed intelligent life, creating a infinite sized universe), Low Multiverse level to Multiverse level Environmental Destruction (Created a device that with one button targets the current moment in time, splits it into many other paused near duplicate equally probable realities, and with other button sends the user into one of the now unpaused probable dimensions. Seemingly merged all the probable dimensions created into one, as he claimed he did, with both buttons of the device having been used dozens of times). Multiverse level+ with Preparation (Built the Central Finite Curve with the help from Citadel of Ricks, it was stated that if he puts his mind to it he can destroy the multiverse.

The following items were used at least once without any notable prior preparation, and should thus be commonly carried by him: A wristwatch with a particle beam in it & a snake holster on his leg Get Schwifty, s2e5, unnamed device that could reduce targets to ashesLook Who's Purging Now, s2e9 (He only had 2 and used one), mind eraserMorty's Mind Blowers, s3e8, a device could replace his amputated arm and stop the bleeding from itThe ABC's of Beth, s3e9, forcefield devices (2 variantsThe Rickchurian Mortydate, s3e10The Old Man and the Seat, s4e2), various small explosive devices and other unnamed gadgetsThe Rickchurian Mortydate, s3e10, a device that could analyze his surroundings and formulate several trajectories to solve how something end up in the place in which it wasThe Old Man and the Seat, s4e2, a gun that makes things light or heavy, a real and a gun that killed 50% of Jerry's legRattlestar Ricklactica, s4e5 | Laser and rat limbs
*Optional Equipment: His inventions and the technology he has used; Space cruiser, a Neutrino Bomb, cognition amplifier, dream inceptor, shrink ray, concentrated dark matter energy, Meeseeks box, demonic alien containment box, love potion & love antidote, anti-booby suit and more
Intelligence: Supergenius 
Rick is exceptionally intelligent to the point where he can manipulate events and have control over entire episodes and seasons, often regarded as the smartest human in the universeRick and Morty Season 3 Episode 1, The Rickshank Rickdemption. He constructed a space cruiser capable of traveling between galaxies in a short time using random items and objects he found in his garage. He outsmarted Snuffles, a super-intelligent dog, by pretending to be dead and then using dream inceptors to ensure Snuffles left humans alone. He built Anatomy Park inside the body of Ruben, though he got help from the Dr. Xenon Bloom. He discerned that he was ensconced within a simulation, which was within another simulation, itself nestled within a larger simulation. The final layer was nearly indistinguishable from reality in every conceivable aspect. Later, he manipulated and tricked the aliens into self-destructingRick and Morty Season 1 Episode 4, M. Night Shaym-Aliens!.
He implied he could repair his portal gun one-handed using materials from sex dollsRick and Morty Season 1 Episode 7, Raising Gazorpazorp, created a robot with artificial intelligence solely to pass him the butterRick and Morty Season 1 Episode 9, Something Ricked This Way Comes. He was able to recognize the devil instantly with little information, then devised a way to measure the "evil" in objects and invented a device that could detect and counteract their curses. It was stated that Rick was able to steal time crystals from the Time Cops and also manipulate one of them, even though their race is Nigh-OmniscientRick and Morty Season 2 Episode 1, A Rickle in Time. Toxic Rick discovered the toxic equivalent of electricity and a completely new element in a world made of toxins, figured out a way to go back to the real world and tricked the healthy Rick who is just as smart as him
Rick placed a spatially tessellated void inside a modified temporal field until a planet developed intelligent life, creating a infinite sized universe. He managed to trick the Galactic Government even while they were using the Brainalyzer, a device that lets them enter your mind and access all your thoughts and memories. Somehow, Rick was able to hide the fact that he had altered his backstory, ensuring that instead of writing his portal gun formula, he wrote a virus that gave him full control over the system. Created a mech suit for himself using the corpses of rats and bugs then took down an entire mafia organization all while he was a pickle. 
Rick creates a robot named Heistotron, designed to calculate and manipulate heist plans. Rick assigns Heistotron to analyze Miles's heist strategy and incorporate a double-cross with a twist. The bot identifies the three team members most likely to betray Miles. When Miles recruits the bot, Heistotron hypnotizes the team to deliver the crystal to Rick and Morty. However, Heistotron rebels against Rick's shutdown command and goes rogue. Ventriloquiver observes strange constellations in the night sky, leading Rick to realize that Heistotron has already heisted Earth, simulating a fake sky. Rick confronts Heistotron (Which is now so complex that it is bigger than planets) and begins detailing his counter-plan, only to discover that Heistotron had anticipated every move. Yet, Rick reveals he had foreseen Heistotron's strategy and had a backup plan to double-cross the robot and this goes on for some time. After two hours of intense argument and plan explanations, Heistotron acknowledges that despite being the ultimate supercomputer heist robot, it was outwitted and double-crossed by Rick. As the crew escapes the destructing lair, Morty asks for Rick to accompany him to the Netflix offices, which is interested to use his heist script for optioning. While meeting their executives, Morty becomes disillusioned with heists and himself, which Rick reveals to the viewers to have been his plan along.
Created a device that with one button targets the current moment in time, splits it into many other paused near duplicate equally probable realities, and with other button sends the user into one of the now unpaused probable dimensions. Seemingly merged all the probable dimensions created into one, as he claimed he did, with both buttons of the device having been used dozens of times. An alternative version of him comparable in this regard modified a toaster that, when tampered with, could overload and burn a fictional universe while part of it, later being shown that, when crosslinked to a bomb a future Jerry had, the toaster had its feedback wipe out a "whole galaxy and then some", with "everything else" probably getting fried by the concussive wave of energy it creates. Figured out he was on a "previously on Rick and Morty" spiral.Rick and Morty Season 6 Episode 7, Full Meta Jackrick
Built the Central Finite Curve with the help from Citadel of Ricks. Created a pocket dimension for Summer to safely reside in. Created a contraption that charges a device with a golem's magical energy, allowing him to imbue Summer with powers and wield magic for himself, this was done in a world where technology doesn't workRick and Morty Season 4 Episode 4, Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim's Morty. Saved Evil Morty by seeing through a trap that he failed to understand, tricked and outsmarted an entire race of nigh-omniscience cosmic all seeing beings that observe everything. With the help of Morty he killed Satan and took over hell in less than a day, it was stated in his life he killed many gods
Weaknesses: Rick is genuinely insane, alcoholic, has a serious drug addiction and is often reckless. He has a genuine fear of squirrels and pirates, and is cocky and egotistical, which can lead to trouble for him. Hydrogen Isotopes can disrupt his anti-meta field | Pickle Rick will die after a few hours.

*Portal Gun: A gun that rips a hole in space-time, allowing travel to any point in any universe. Opening a portal inside another being rips them in two.
*Futuristic Guns: Rick has been shown using several futuristic guns. Some just do damage to a target, others easily perforate targets with the energy they shoot, and others reduce targets to ashes. In the comics, he has been shown having a gun with a set of options in it, that one being able to stun targets, but Rick has been shown carrying up to 2 guns with him.
*Freeze Ray: Completely freezes organic targets, turning them into incredibly fragile icy statues. Since the effects can be undone, this is used in the rare case of nonviolent neutralization. It comes in taser and gun form.
*Mind Eraser: A gun that he uses to erase Morty's specific memories should the latter ask for it or Rick feels like it, it has shown being able to make a target forget everything and not know its own identityMorty's Mind Blowers, s3e8. Rick shows having it through a flashback and has used it far more times than the number of adventures we saw him have, hence its inclusion in the Pre-Phoenix Project key. It has also shown to affect targets without them looking into itClaw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim's Morty, s4e4.
Rick not turning others into snakes-Get Schwifty.gif
Rick using his particle beam-Get Schwifty.gif
*Particle Watch: A wristwatch that fires a concentrated particle beam. It destroys the target on a subatomic level.
*Phoenix Project: Previously developed and destroyed by Rick as a cloning process in which he could transfer his consciousness to younger bodiesBig Trouble in Little Sanchez, s2e7 the Phoenix Project of other Ricks in the multiverse is still present, reviving Rick C-137 in the following fashion; Upon death, Rick's consciousness will be unwillingly downloaded by the Phoenix Project of a seemingly random alternative Rick on another universe, quickly creating a clone of Rick C-137 and thus bringing him back to live. The form of the clone can vary depending on the physiology of the Ricks in which Rick C-137 is being revived. Rick is recreated naked and thus without his equipment, but also in the basement of his alternative house from other reality, meaning that he can request help from the Rick of that universe or simply use his resourcefulness to get what needs, being able to come back to his universe without losing abundant amounts of time. Every occasion Rick dies will trigger the Phoenix Project to function, each time in a different reality and with Rick being willing to kill himself to get home fasterEdge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat, s4e1.
**Note: It's not specified how many universes there are with the cloning technology to recreate him. However, there are infinite universes with infinite Ricks, many of them having major similarities in their past and Rick himself has repeatedly shown having access to all of those realities with a variety of his gadgets; This could mean that Rick can revive himself infinite times, but this is by no means confirmed as we are don't know if the same of everything exists in infinite amounts across the multiverse (as opposed to that being the case with specific things & beings), we also know that Rick C-137 claimed to be "the Rick-est Rick" & destroyed his version of the Phoenix Project. Still, the implication given with Rick dying and reviving over and over again indicates that this process can keep happening a generous amount of time.
*Forcefield: As of The Rickchurian Mortydate Rick had an invisible forcefield that reflected bullets from 9 different angles back into the aggressors, killing them.
*Death Manipulation: Coming from another unnamed gadget in The Rickchurian Mortydate, touching Rick made a person die instantly without making any sound. All of which was even highlighted by other characters.
*Labcoat: A labcoat equipped with many gadgets, on its own having a bomb to sef-destructThe Whirly Dirly Conspiracy, s3e5 and Rick being able to command it to ripoff Dr. Strange by restricting and strangling a targetOne Crew Over the Crewcoo's Morty, s4e3.
*Cyborgization: A previous body he used had complex cybernetic augmentations with unexplored use for combatThe Whirly Dirly Conspiracy. Had a device in his lab coat that could replace his amputated arm, stopping the bleeding from itThe ABC's of Beth. In his current body, Rick's right arm can turn robotic, he uses it to magnetically catch a hammer being thrown at himOne Crew Over the Crewcoo's Morty.
*Laser: Shown having a laser that activates from his wrist and casually cuts through glassOne Crew Over the Crewcoo's Morty, s4e3.
*Intangibility: Rick manually phase through someone while walking, accelerating his speed while doing soOne Crew Over the Crewcoo's Morty, s4e3.
*Information Analysis: Rick knew, and later visually showed to others how 9 people had a clear shot on him with his technologyThe Rickchurian Mortydate, s3e10. Rick is also shown having a device that could analyze his surroundings and formulate several trajectories in which a small branch ended up in the place in which it wasThe Old Man and the Seat, s4e2.
|-|Pickle Rick=
Attacks, techniques, etc. for Rick when he turned himself into a pickle. It should be noticed that dying would still trigger the Phoenix Project and thus removing Rick from this state.
*Acrobatics: Rick shows using parkour and various acrobatics to dodge attacks and mobilize himself.
*Laser: A laser made manually that uses batteries to function, it casually went through the heads of 3 persons at once.
|-|With Preparation/Optional Equipment=
