### Type of Villain:

Manipulative Vengeful Mastermind

**Mortimer "Morty" Chauncey Smith**, better known by his nickname **Evil Morty**, is the main antagonist and deuteragonist (Next to **Rick Prime**), of the adult animated science fiction TV series *Rick and Morty*.

He is a malicious alternate version of Morty Smith, the master of Evil Rick, and the one truly responsible for the deaths of Ricks and abductions of Mortys from other different universes. He managed to escape capture and be elected first President of the Citadel of Ricks following the destruction of the public Council of Ricks. Embittered by every Rick's horrible and toxic behavior, as well as their treatment of all Mortys, he is intent to break through the Central Finite Curve to escape to a reality where Rick is not the smartest man in existence.

He was voiced by the series' co-creator Justin Roiland, who also voiced every single version of Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith until season 7, From season 7 onwards, he is voiced by Harry Belden.

## Appearance:

Evil Morty has the same appearance as most other Mortys with a yellow shirt, dark blue pants, black shoes and short brown hair but sporting an eyepatch and with black socks. He removed it after Evil Rick was killed and later wore a regular dark gray colored suit and belt with a red tie; when removing his eye-patch this exposed wiring poking out from under his eye which he promptly pushed back in. He later appears in an orange and black traveling spacesuit which he uses once he successfully escapes from the Citadel.

## Personality:

Evil Morty, as his name suggests, is a selfish, manipulative, cunning, sadistic, ruthless, and cold-hearted sociopath willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish his goals—even if it means torturing people or murdering thousands in the most brutal ways imaginable.

Like Rick, Evil Morty is incredibly intelligent—arguably just as if not more so than Rick himself. He was able to successfully win an election by winning over thousands with his charisma and inspiring speeches. He also displays incredible expertise in technology as he was able to implant cybernetics into a Rick's corpse and animate his body, making him appear to be the mastermind behind the abduction of hundreds of Mortys when in reality it was him all along—not to mention he was able to successfully break through and escape the Central Finite Curve.

He holds an incredibly deep hatred for Ricks due to their selfish, sociopathic and reckless behavior. His main goal revolved around escaping to a reality where Rick isn't the smartest in the universe by breaking the Central Finite Curve, and he was willing to do whatever it took to accomplish just that.

Despite expressing mild sympathy for other Mortys, Evil Morty is more than happy to manipulate, torture, or kill countless of them to further his plans. In fact, he fuels the new Dimensional Drive protocol, in part, with the blood of Mortys and Ricks. He also appears to hate other Mortys be because he views them as mere subservient puppets to Ricks as they will stay by their side no matter the horrible actions they commit. He even states because of their meek and cowardly nature he hates them even more than the Ricks they sell out to.

During his campaign to become president of the Citadel of Ricks, Evil Morty presented himself as a suave, charismatic, compassionate politician. During his election campaign, Evil Morty managed to win the presidency by tackling the division between the Ricks and Mortys as well as the Ricks at the top of the hierarchy who liked the Citadel divided. However, once he wins the election, he shows his true nature: a manipulative, ruthless, sadistic, tyrannical dictator.

Though he claims that all Ricks don't take any responsibility and use their genius as an excuse for their actions, Evil Morty does the exact same thing as he has committed just as many atrocities towards Mortys as other Ricks have. Despite his undying hatred for them and the corrupt system they represent, Evil Morty was more than capable of solving the problem with the Ricks. In fact, he had already done so when he took over the Citadel and made it so Rick and Mortys are equals.

However, he still was able to escape to a world where Rick isn't the smartest man alive despite the fact his plan was going to kill hundreds if not thousands of Rick's and innocent Mortys. This can assume the real reason Evil Morty concocted his plan to escape the Curve was out of more spite and hatred rather than a actual desire for freedom. Evil Morty justifies that the only thing that makes him evil is the simple fact that he was sick of Rick, not taking any responsibility for the countless innocent Mortys he tortured and killed. Through all of his horrible and selfish actions, Evil Morty ironically was just as bad as, if not even worse than the Ricks he so greatly hated.

## Biography:

### Early life

Evil Morty's backstory is mostly unknown but it's heavily implied that he was simply a normal Morty, and went on adventures with his Rick. But one day after an adventure, he and Rick got into an argument, where Rick said if Morty wanted out, he should quit. Morty left, and in the dead of night made a device. He then returned to the garage to find Rick drunk. Drunk Rick stated it would be “Rick and Morty” for 100 years, where after Evil Morty put on his eyepatch, and killed his grandpa, turning him into a mind controlled pawn. From this point Evil Morty began a campaign to permanently leave the Rick centric universe by following a number of steps:

* Accompanying Evil Rick into the Citadel Records department and erasing any mention of both Evil Rick and Evil Morty and subsequently their universe.
* Kidnapping Ricks across the Central Finite Curve killing them and downloading their collective knowledge
* Running for election for complete control of the Citadel
* Remodel the Citadel to break the C.F.C.
* Hacking all portal fluid to become a guillotineBullet list
* Obtaining the final brain scan of
* Removing the barrier between the C.F.C and Infinite.Bu

It should be noted that Evil Morty's intelligence did not just come from himself but the collective knowledge of every Rick he ever encountered and brain scanned, its not accurate to say he is as intelligent as a Rick but rather he is sum of stolen intelligence and drive to be left alone.

### **Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind**

Afterwards, Evil Morty and his new pawn began killing Ricks across the Multiverse and kidnapping their Mortys. Rick C-137 was blamed and hunted down by the Council.

Now able to control Rick and cover his plans, Evil Morty had hacked C-137 Rick's portal gun and traveled to several universes, killing Ricks and kidnapping hundreds of Mortys to frame C-137 Rick so the Council of Ricks would go against him. When C-137 Rick and Morty traced where the signal was coming from, the two set off to Rick's base.

Evil Morty then persuaded the imprisoned Mortys to rise up against Evil Rick, and the Mortys bombarded Evil Rick's lair and started to trample Evil Rick to death. After Evil Rick's death, the Council of Ricks returned the Rick-less Mortys to their families to live out the rest of their lives, including Evil Morty.

By the time all the Mortys were boarding ships to depart for their lives, the Council of Ricks had discovered that Evil Rick was a remotely controlled robot that acted under the orders of someone else. In the last scene of Evil Morty, he removed his eye patch - which held the transmitter for Evil Rick - and destroyed it revealing him to be the controller of Evil Rick. Evil Morty then turned to board the departing ships now looking identical to the rest of the Mortys.

### **The Ricklantis Mixup**

In "The Ricklantis Mix-Up" Evil Morty secretly developed the alter-ego "Candidate Morty" to become the presidential candidate for the newly-democratic Citadel of Ricks. A Campaign Manager Morty was in charge of the Morty Party though he does not take his own candidate seriously at first. But despite mockery from Ricks and even other Mortys his candidate made a rousing speech about the class divide between the various Ricks and Mortys on the Citadel during a debate which earned him praise and support. Afterward Evil Morty promptly fired his Campaign Manager for a lack of faith.

An Investigator Rick gave Evil Morty's former Campaign Manager Morty a file revealing the candidate's true nature. Horrified at the truth, Campaign Manager Morty tried to assassinate Evil Morty to stop him from getting into office and is promptly arrested. Unfortunately for him, Evil Morty survived the assassination attempt and won the election. The Shadow Council of Ricks revealed themselves as the true power behind the Citadel and informed Evil Morty he would answer to them. The newly-elected president had all of them executed save for two who did not share the same sentiment. Campaign Manager Morty was killed by the Rick Secret Service agents and ejected into space. His body was one of the many bodies floating out of the Citadel's airlocks in the aftermath of the new dictatorship's purge. Also among the dead was Investigator Rick who was killed for uncovering Evil Morty's secret.

### **Rickmurai Jack**

In "Rickmurai Jack", Evil Morty's full plan was revealed. He explained to Rick C-137's Morty that there is a 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 intended to break through it so he could live away from the madness of Ricks. He then says that the only thing that truly makes him evil is that he finally got sick of Rick and his toxic behavior, and if any Morty had ever felt the same, then they were evil as well. Evil Morty activated a new program in the Citadel's Dimensional Drive, using the blood of Operation Phoenix clones to boost its power. He tore open the Curve and used a small spaceship to fly through the hole, finally leaving behind the realities with toxic versions of Rick and gaining the freedom he always wanted.

Once outside of the Curve, he opened the hatch on his ship and took a breath of relief and opened a golden portal with his own Portal Gun and stepped through it. His current whereabouts are unknown.

### Unmortricken

Evil Morty is shown having his own adventures in the chaotic universes outside of the Curve, retrieving an energy crystal to power up the ener as well as protect what is his original world from any chaotic runoff or Ricks looking for revengegy shields for his base. After his base is hit with a powerful shockwave, an upset Evil Morty traces the shockwave to Rick and Morty's mobile base, where the former is merging various universe in order to trap and kill Rick Prime, but only managing to entrap his body doubles. Annoyed by the disruption of his solitude, he begrudgingly helps Rick adjust the scanner ray to make his search easier, while also smugly rubbing in how he would owe his victory over Prime to his support. Unfortunately, the Prime Rick manages to trap is another body double rigged with a special portal fluid that upon being killed by Morty transporting them to Primes death match arena where other Ricks are made to fight each other to the death in exchange for supposedly having their Diane revived. Upon realizing that Prime had an Omega Device that he used to kill every instance of Diane in the Multiverse and could do the same to anyone else he desired, Evil Morty decided to help his enemies defeat him to prevent the weapon from being used to erase every variation of Morty, which naturally would include him.

After escaping the arena and finding Primes location, Rick tells both Morty's to stay put while he exacted his revenge. Evil Morty refuses and bring Morty with him to the Omega Device via his portal gun. He aids Rick and Morty in their fight against Prime, with Evil Morty at one point hacking one of his drones and using them to destroy all of his other robot minions with Morty providing backup with one Prime robot decoys arm cannon. Being blown next to an unconscious Morty at the fights climax while Rick was severely injured, he switches his torn shirt with Morty's and puts his eyepatch on him. Getting Prime into letting his guard down by imitating Morty's meekness, he electrocutes and stuns Prime.

Strapping him to a chair, Evil Morty hooks his brain up to Primes, deactivating his remaining body doubles and downloading the plans for the Omega Device. He then heals Rick and leaves him to finish Prime off while he removes the core of the Device and destroys it, ending the threat the weapon poses to his existence. He assures Rick and Morty that he'll keep the information on the weapon in case he feels the need to rebuild it for his own defense, since using it himself to erase every Rick from the Multiverse would likely result in an army of vengeful Summers coming after him. He also admits that Rick and Morty may be useful to him one day, while also taunting Rick over how killing Prime hadn't brought him any peace before returning to his home outside the Curve.

## Trivia:

* In "The Ricklantis Mix-Up" Evil Morty's plot to take over the Citadel was reminiscent of Frank Underwood from *House of Cards*.
* 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 Evil Morty's leitmotif.
* 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 a Morty from another universe.
* 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. Evil Morty is amused that Rick is finally "all caught up".
	+ At the Citadel's Dimensional Drive, President 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.
	+ Additionally Evil Morty can be considered a dark reflection of every Morty in the Central Finite Curve possibly being what they could have become if they went rouge and turned against the Ricks for their abusive and terrible behavior.
* Evil Morty wanted the memories of the show's main Rick to find out how to deactivate the Central Finite Curve.
* According to Rick, Evil Morty is the only person who's ever been able to hack his Portal Gun.
* It was often believed by fans that Evil Morty was Rick C-137's original Morty before abandoning him for the main Morty of the series. This theory was debunked in "Rickmurai Jack", where it's confirmed that Rick C-137 never had his "original Morty" as his Beth died as a child.
