Evil Morty is a character from the animated television series Rick and Morty. He is a version of Morty Smith from another dimension who has become a villain and has appeared in multiple episodes throughout the series. Evil Morty’s actions and motivations are complex and multi-layered, and there are a few key events that are crucial to understanding what he has done.
First introduced in the episode “Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind,” Evil Morty is revealed to be the mastermind behind a plot to kill multiple Ricks from various dimensions. He does this by manipulating a group of Mortys who have been collected by the Council of Ricks, a group of alternate dimension Ricks who have banded together for protection. Evil Morty is able to hack into the Council’s computer system and use the Mortys as a distraction while he sends a robot disguised as a Morty to kill the Ricks.
In this episode, it is also revealed that Evil Morty has a cybernetic implant behind his eye that allows him to control and manipulate machines with his thoughts. This implant is later revealed to be the result of experiments conducted on him by his own Rick, who had abandoned him in a previous dimension. This traumatic event is likely a key factor in Evil Morty’s turn to villainy and his desire to take revenge on all Ricks.
In the episode “The Ricklantis Mixup” (also known as “Tales from the Citadel”), Evil Morty’s actions become even more complex. This episode is set in a dimension where the Citadel of Ricks is the dominant power, and Mortys are used as subservient labor. Evil Morty is running for election as the new President of the Citadel, and his campaign platform is focused on the rights of Mortys and the dismantling of the Council of Ricks.
Throughout the episode, it becomes clear that Evil Morty has a grand plan to overthrow the entire Citadel and establish himself as its ruler. He uses his cybernetic implant to manipulate and control other Ricks and Mortys, and he ultimately succeeds in his plan, revealing that he was behind the election tampering that allowed him to win the presidency.
It is never explicitly stated what Evil Morty’s endgame is, but it is clear that he is driven by a desire for power and revenge. His actions throughout the series suggest that he has a deep-seated hatred for all Ricks, possibly stemming from his own traumatic experiences with his original Rick. He is willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals, including manipulating and exploiting other Mortys, and his ultimate plan seems to involve the subjugation of all Ricks and the establishment of himself as the ultimate authority.
In the most recent episode featuring Evil Morty, “Forgetting Sarick Mortshall,” he is once again shown to be manipulating and controlling others, this time in an attempt to take revenge on Rick Sanchez specifically. He hires a team of mercenaries to capture Rick and bring him to a remote planet where he plans to exact his revenge. However, it is ultimately revealed that this entire plan is actually a ruse orchestrated by Rick himself, who had anticipated Evil Morty’s moves and set a trap for him.
In conclusion, Evil Morty’s actions throughout the series are characterized by a desire for power and revenge, as well as a willingness to manipulate and control others to achieve his goals. His traumatic past experiences with his original Rick likely play a role in his turn to villainy, and his cybernetic implant gives him a significant advantage in his efforts to control others. While his ultimate endgame is not yet clear, it is clear that he poses a significant threat to Rick and all alternate dimension versions of him.
