Evil Morty

"Mortys have no chance of defeating a Rick"

- Evil Morty to Morty C-137

"Now is a good time for a drink and a cold calculating speech with sinister undertones. A speech about politics, about order, brotherhood, power. But speeches are for campaigning. Now is time for action..."

- Evil Morty after becoming a dictator.

Evil Morty is a recurring antagonist in the cartoon series Rick and Morty. He is the main antagonist of the episodes "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind" and "The Ricklantis Mix-Up". He is the creator of Evil Rick and the one truly responsible for the deaths of several Ricks from different universes.

Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind
Evil Morty made Evil Rick to cover him in case his plans were discovered.

For an unknown reason, Evil Morty was intent on killing Ricks and torturing their Mortys. Using Evil Rick, Evil Morty successfully killed twenty-seven Ricks and kidnapped their Mortys. C-137 Rick was blamed for the deaths and was hunted by the Council of Ricks.

After the death of Evil Rick, 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 to their lives, the Council of Ricks had discovered that Evil Rick was a remotely controlled robot that acted under the orders of someone else. The last time we see Evil Morty, he removes his eyepatch - which holds the transmitter for Evil Rick - and destroys it, revealing him to be the controller of Evil Rick. Evil Morty then turns to board the departing ships, looking identical to the rest of the Mortys.

The Ricklantis Mix-Up
In "The Ricklantis Mix-Up", Evil Morty secretly develops an alter-ego to become presidential candidate for an election for the newly democratic Citadel of Ricks. The Campaign Manager Morty is in charge of a candidate from 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 (who is actually Evil Morty in disguise) makes a rousing speech about the class divide between the various Ricks and Mortys on the Citadel during a debate, which earns him lots of praise and support. After the speech, Evil Morty promptly fires his Campaign Manager, and he is rendered jobless.

Campaign Manager Morty is depressed, drinking in a bar when an Investigator Rick gives him a file revealing the candidate's true nature. Horrified at the truth, Campaign Manager Morty tries 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. Campaign Manager Morty is killed by the Rick Secret Service agents and ejected into space. His body is 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 possibly killed for his involvement of uncovering Evil Morty's secret.

Trivia
