Friends

Mr. Poopybutthole: Rick has a good relationship with him. In “Total Rickall,” Beth shoots him thinking he’s a parasite; Rick tends to him, but Poopybutthole won’t speak to the family afterward. They’re later on speaking terms and do a heist together. In “How Poopy Got His Poop Back,” Rick takes him for a guys’ night, calls him out for mooching, tries to help him win his wife back, fails, and Poopybutthole moves out; their friendship is restored.

Birdperson: Rick’s best friend. They were in a band and committed terrorism against the Galactic Federation. Birdperson tells Morty “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub” means “I am in great pain, please help me.” Rick is torn when Birdperson dies and kills Tammy. When Birdperson becomes a cyborg, Rick tries to cheer him up but gets attacked. Birdperson would have killed Rick if the family hadn’t saved him; Rick keeps him shut off in the garage. In “Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort,” Rick repairs him and enters his mind, seeing how they met at a festival, formed a band, fought at Blood Ridge. Rick offered to leave with him; Birdperson refused, hurting Rick. Memory Rick asks why Rick risks his life for him; Rick says, “Because you love him.” Birdperson has a hidden child; Rick doesn’t tell him so he’ll stay. Birdperson leaves disappointed. Their friendship is restored later. In “Valkyrick,” Rick calls Birdperson and Birddaughter for backup, and they bond over their daughters.

Unity: Rick and Unity had a past relationship that ended badly. In “Auto Erotic Assimilation,” they rekindle it, but they bring out the worst in each other. Unity breaks up with Rick; he nearly commits suicide. In “Air Force Wong,” Unity still cares, checks on him, and takes over Virginia when he ignores them. Rick is unhappy but defends Unity from the President. He apologizes too late; Unity says they can’t trust him anymore.

Quote: “Because you love him.” — Rick about Birdperson.

RelationSHip diane

Diane was Rick’s wife. Early hints suggested an unhealthy marriage, but “Fear No Mort” shows they were close: Diane was candid, fun, and never judged Rick’s self-destructive, nihilistic lifestyle. In “The Rickshank Rickdemption,” Rick calls his origin fabricated, but “Rickmurai Jack” confirms it: he loved Diane, had a healthy marriage—unusual for a Rick—and her death devastated him. It drove his revenge quest, alcoholism, and nihilism. Though he had hookups, he never remarried; Diane was irreplaceable, especially since the Omega Device erased her across existence.

In “Hot Rick,” Rick keeps a memory of Diane, then separates Memory Diane from his mind to move on. Memory Rick manipulates Beth into finding her, causing Beth to spiral until Rick stops her. Rick claims he destroyed the memories, but actually builds Memory Diane and Memory Rick their own ant farm, shoots it into space, and warns he’ll blow it up if they leave. They accept, content together.

Relation Ship Jerry

Rick has little respect for Jerry and constantly demeans or humiliates him, mocking his intelligence and failed marriage. He resents that Jerry got Beth pregnant at seventeen. Still, he helps Jerry when asked—giving him an intelligence enhancer, the Meeseeks Box, parallel-timeline goggles—and asks the Council of Ricks to “unfreeze his daughter’s idiot.” Other Ricks also hate Jerry; a Jerry daycare exists. Rick is horrified when Jerry is shot in “Interdimensional Cable 2,” comforts him in “M. Night Shaym-Aliens!”, and takes him on a pity adventure in “The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy,” where he admits Jerry ruined Beth’s chances. Dan Harmon says Rick hates Jerry by circumstance; they gain mutual respect. Rick takes care of Jerry’s problem in “The ABC’s of Beth,” planned to kill him but relented, erases his memory in “Claw and Hoarder,” saves him in “Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri,” and helps him in “Final DeSmithation.” In “The Jerrick Trap,” a brain swap makes them bond; Morty says they care more than they admit. By “Nomortland,” they watch Naked and Afraid together in the nude.

Quote: “Unfreeze his daughter’s idiot.” — Rick about Jerry.

Relation ship Space Beth

Space Beth and Rick have a rocky relationship. She hated him for lying about cloning her and returned to kill him, but they talked; he told her she wasn’t the clone, and she was pleased he acknowledged her space adventures. He later saved both Beths. She still resents him but accepts him as her father, settling for belittling him. By “Mortyplicity” they’re neutral; she joins a family trip but declines to hang out more. In “Solaricks” she rescues him and Morty. In “Valkyrick” she calls him for help, he comes instantly, embarrasses her and gets her fired, but helps her redeem herself; Rick tells Birdperson he doesn’t want to screw up their new bond and exposes himself to a virus to cure her. In “The CuRicksous Case of Bethjamin Button,” de-aged Beths make him 360, beat him, but he explains his original Beth was murdered, cries, says he’s proud of both, and they hug and bond. In “Hot Rick,” he reveals he’s dating her friend; she jabs at him; when Beth kills Space Beth, Rick is deeply concerned, repairs her cybernetics, cradles her, and is relieved when she wakes.

Quote: “Space Beth is rude to me sometimes.” — Rick

RelationShip Beth

Rick deeply loved his original Beth, even willing to give up science to be a family man. Her death devastated him and drove his lifelong hunt for Rick Prime. In “Solaricks,” he was ready to abandon Beth C-131 and Space Beth for revenge. He had little affection for Beth Smith Prime, manipulating her to stay in her house and later abandoning her to the apocalypse. After moving to Dimension C-131, he built a healthier, kinder relationship with native Beth, calling her “sweetie” and respecting her more. In “Total Rickall,” he was hurt when she doubted his existence and comforted her after she shot Mr. Poopybutthole. In “The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy,” Morty blames Beth’s distance on trying to earn Rick’s love by acting like him. Rick admits to Jaguar in “Pickle Rick” that he rarely tells Beth he loves her and tells Jerry he ruined her potential. In “The ABC’s of Beth,” he derides her but sympathizes when she admits being like him. In “Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri,” Beth makes Rick choose which Beth is real; he swaps them and erases his memory. He saves both, but both dislike him, and he acknowledges being a terrible father. “Rickmurai Jack” shows his original Beth and Diane were killed by a bomb. In “The CuRicksous Case of Bethjamin Button,” de-aged Beths trap and beat him; he explains the murder, cries, expresses pride, and accepts both daughters. In “Hot Rick,” a memory Rick manipulates Beth into releasing Memory Diane, gaslighting her with “This is how we stay a family.” She kills Space Beth, goes insane, and nearly commits suicide. Rick deters her, sedates her, extracts the memories, and assures her the real Diane loved her more.

Relationship Summer

Rick paid scarce attention to Summer Smith Prime and cared little for her. He said her opinion meant "very little" before unhesitatingly abandoning her to the apocalypse he created. Still, he was disgusted by a dream version of Summer in sexual clothing in "Lawnmower Dog" who asked him and Morty to "make an inter-generational sandwich."

After moving to Dimension C-131, Rick bonded with that Summer, going on their own adventures and making her a second sidekick. Though he rarely shows genuine affection, he truly cares and affectionately calls her "Sum-Sum." In "Something Ricked This Way Comes," they train together and assault Mr. Needful for revenge. He tends to acknowledge her input, was almost proud of her suggestion to destroy the Federation, and in "Solaricks" said he "always believed in" her. In "Wet Kuat Amortican Summer," he admits he greatly respects Summer as an equal and that she reminds him of her grandmother.

Relationship morty

Beth says Rick’s only influence is giving Morty a friend. Rick genuinely cares for Morty and values their adventures, though he hides affection. In “M. Night Shaym-Aliens!” he’s furious a simulated Morty fooled him and drunkenly threatens the real Morty with a knife. Morty often stabilizes Rick and convinces him to fix mistakes. Rick hates losing adventure time, so he pulls Morty from school, rigs Mr. Goldenfold’s dreams for A’s, uses vole oxytocin on Jessica, and stages a heist to kill Morty’s Netflix pitch. Ricks need Mortys to camouflage their brainwaves (“Morty Waves”), but Rick also simply enjoys Morty’s company. He avenges Morty: kills King Jellybean and glares at Vance Maximus. He calls Morty dumb but special and wants him in science. Morty sees Rick as grandfather and friend. In “Forgetting Sarick Mortshall” Morty is heartbroken; in “Rickmurai Jack” he tries to get Rick back and refuses Evil Morty. In “Solaricks” he tells Rick he’s his real grandfather, stopping his revenge. In “Ricktional Mortpoon’s Rickmas Mortcation” Rickbot reveals Rick built him to make Morty happy; Rick returns to save Morty and promises to include him. In “Unmortricken” Rick leaves Morty for safety, is annoyed Evil Morty brings him, and after killing Rick Prime, Morty hugs him. Later Morty uses coupons to restart adventures; Rick compromises at 80% and thanks him. In “Fear No Mort” Rick keeps Morty’s photo, respects his warnings, almost hugs him, and credits his success.

Rick's age

Rick's age is ambiguous. He's usually called 70. The Pilot shows him as elderly. Season 2: Principal Vagina says 80 (likely an estimate). Season 3: Toxic Rick says 70 years. Morty's Mind Blowers calls him elderly. Showrunner Scott Marder said his body is in its 70s. Instagram said same age as Tony Hawk (54), non-canon. Season 8: BugAnne says 40 years since Diane died; if Rick was 27, he's 67; if 30, he's 70. But Beth is 34, so 40 years doesn't fit. Season 7: Fear No Mort Rick de-ages to 27, matching the Diane/Beth death flashback. Season 8: Beth and Space Beth de-age to 10, then re-age to 34, confirming 24 years since Beth was 10. If Rick was 27 then, he's 51 now. Beth was 17 when Summer was born, and Summer is 17, so Beth is 34—supporting the 24-year gap. However, Rick's multiverse travels may involve different time rates, so a 70-year-old Rick returning to a 34-year-old Beth is possible. Thus, he's most often 70, but could be as young as 51.

Weaknesses

Rick is deeply depressed from losing his original wife and daughter, leading to self-destructive behavior and suicide attempts. His depression is chronic, persisting despite cures and clone bodies. His catchphrase “Wubba Lubba dub dub” is a cry for help.

He is abusive toward friends and family, especially Morty, causing loved ones to distance themselves or even want to kill him. Pushing people away worsens his depression.

He is highly narcissistic and self-centered, believing he is always right, often getting humbled when danger strikes unexpectedly and someone else must save him.

He is an alcoholic with the “hardest-working liver in the galaxy.” He drinks constantly, slurring and belching. Once blackout drunk, he built an elaborate trap for the Vindicators, passed out in his own diarrhea, forgot everything, and all but one Vindicator died.

He also has an unexplained, strong phobia of pirates, shared by other Ricks. It can truly shake him—when President Curtis used pirates against him, Rick ran in fear.

Abilities

Rick is a self-proclaimed megagenius and the smartest man in any universe within the Central Finite Curve. Aside from Rick Prime, he is the only Rick to independently invent interdimensional portal travel. His intellect makes him god-like: he outwits foes, resists simulated realities, hijacks a Galactic Federation Brainalyzer, escapes his own Matrix in hours, and believes he could bring Memory Rick to life. He built Bunker dimension, a world of weapons.

Craftsmanship: he escapes using only surroundings, building primitive tech in the Teenyverse and escaping with Zeep.

Immortality: cybernetics, clone bodies, and hologram resurrection make him nearly immortal; he survived Space Beth's aging machine as a centuries-old man.

Cybernetic enhancements: most of his body is upgraded with weapons, tools, and medical aid; his augmentations are above Class C and hard to control.

Interdimensional travel: his Portal Gun lets him go anywhere and escape doomed dimensions.

Master combatant: beat countless Ricks into submission and founded the Citadel. Master tactician: plans ahead, led his family against Evil Morty. Manipulation: lies to family for his own benefit. Diplomacy: brokered Israel-Palestine peace, a microverse deal, and a spider treaty. Lyricism: freestyle saved Earth and helped Morty. Fourth-wall awareness: he knows he is in a TV show and addresses the audience.

Substance Abuse

Rick’s drinking starts as comedy, but Birdperson reveals “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub” means “I am in great pain. Please help me.” He uses alcohol and drugs to numb pain from his genius, nihilism, trauma, and later Diane and Beth’s deaths and failed revenge. He drinks heavily again after Unmortricken. His criminal record is enormous. Birdperson says their road is soaked in blood. Rick ignores laws, committing assault, battery, vandalism, smuggling, child endangerment, home invasion, terrorism, murder, arson, DUI, drug abuse, and public intoxication. Arrested by the Galactic Federation, his record is unreadably long; asked what he’s in for, he says “Everything.” Crimes include bioterrorism (Cronenberg world), breaking and entering, cable piracy, cannibalism, child abuse, corpse mutilation, felony murder, genocide (microverse), grave robbing, human cloning, illegal arms dealing, impersonation, kidnapping, slavery, prison escape, smuggling, terrorism, time manipulation, animal cruelty, treason, and arson. He also killed Rick Prime. In short: Rick is a wanted criminal across the multiverse, guilty of nearly everything.

Personality

Shortened version (~1,100 characters):

"You're like Hitler, but even Hitler cared about Germany or something!" — Morty.

Rick is a genius scientist capable of brain helmets, dream devices, portals, cloning, cybernetics, energy weapons, force fields, and a human-body amusement park. His brilliance is muddled by alcoholism, nihilism, and boredom. He kills easily, shows little regard for life, and can be brutal when betrayed or when loved ones are threatened. Yet he's not heartless: he panics over unnecessary deaths, rages when Birdperson dies, and grieves for Diane and Unity. He claims nihilism but loves his family; his "I don't give a fuck" attitude is a mask. He is possessive and dominating toward Morty, abusive yet protective, and their bond is strained but real. He hates authority, government, standardized education, and compromise. He claims atheism but makes contradictory religious jokes. His intellect is his curse: he pushes people away, causing his own pain. In Season 4 he alienates his family and realizes, "Holy shit I'm a terrible father." By Seasons 6–7 he tries to improve, seeing Dr. Wong as a therapist. He is implied to be neurodivergent, likely autistic.

Appearance

Rick is a lanky, old man with long limbs and a very skinny build. He has spiky grey-blue hair, a bald spot on the back of his oblong head, and a matching unibrow. His tanned grey skin is wrinkly, with bags under his eyes, a pressure fold above his unibrow, laugh lines, and wrinkles below his butt cheeks. He usually wears a white lab coat over a turquoise undershirt, brown pants, a dark brown belt with a yellow buckle, and black shoes. He keeps a flask and Portal Gun in his lab coat pockets and sometimes has green spill on his mouth when drunk. He speaks in a rambling, stammering way, often interrupted by belching or gagging.

Though he looks nearly identical throughout the series, Rick does not stay in his original body. In Season 3, his assumed original body is killed while he occupies Cornvelious Daniel, then he takes Rick D-99, later Commander Rick, and after that body dies, he creates clone bodies. Most Ricks look identical, so his appearance stays the same.

Rick also has extensive cybernetic enhancements. Most of his body is upgraded, including limbs, left eye, internal organs, and parts of his brain. In "Mort: Ragnarick," his metallic leg bones are exposed, suggesting his entire skeleton has been replaced with a metal replica that houses gadgets.

Rick

Richard D. “Rick” Sanchez of Dimension C-137 is the main protagonist of Rick and Morty. He is a megagenius scientist whose alcoholism and reckless nihilism endanger the Smith family. In his original dimension, Rick lived with wife Diane and daughter Beth. After he failed to invent portal travel, Rick Prime offered him help; Rick refused, so Prime murdered Diane and Beth. Devastated, Rick invented portal technology and began hunting Prime. He joined the Resistance with Birdperson and Squanchy, fought at Blood Ridge, then spent decades killing alternate Ricks. The remaining Ricks surrendered, leading to the Council and Citadel of Ricks, which Rick left. He later took Rick Prime’s place in the Prime Dimension as Beth’s father, bonding with Morty and having adventures. He finally killed Rick Prime with Evil Morty’s help. Afterwards he fell into depression until Morty helped him find purpose. He erased his memories of Diane, letting sentient memories live together. Rick later moved dimensions again, committed more heinous acts, and his morality remains questionable.

Biography

Rick was always a scientific prodigy. As an adult he married Diane and had Beth. An alternate Rick (Rick Prime) offered him portal travel; Rick refused, so Prime killed Diane and Beth with a portal bomb. Grieving, Rick built his own portal gun and spent decades hunting Prime. He became a weapons dealer, met Birdperson and Squanchy, formed The Flesh Curtains, fought the Galactic Federation, and helped found the Citadel of Ricks and Central Finite Curve. He murdered many alternate Ricks, became known as the Rickest Rick, and moved into the Smith house in Dimension C-137, posing as Beth's father to wait for Prime. Over the series he manipulates his family, fights the Federation/Citadel, splits from Morty, is targeted by Evil Morty, and eventually hunts Rick Prime. After Prime kills Slow Mobius, Rick and Evil Morty confront him; Evil Morty disables Prime, letting Rick beat him to death. With revenge complete, Rick feels purposeless until Morty helps him resume adventures.
