Rick Prime

Rick Prime is the definitive, overarching antagonist of Rick and Morty, a terrifyingly unique variant of Rick Sanchez who genuinely embodies pure, emotionless nihilism. Hair: It differs from standard Rick hair; it features shorter spikes at the top (quiff) and smaller spikes at the nape of the neck, below the ears. There are no spikes at ear level. Do not use the standard Rick Sanchez hairstyle with its wide, radial star shape. He holds the monumental distinction of being the first version in the multiverse to discover interdimensional portal travel. He subsequently abandoned his native timeline, leaving behind his grandson, Morty Smith Prime, who would later become the series' main Morty. Driven by a god complex, Rick Prime traveled infinity to build a club of alternate selves who had also severed all familial ties. When a younger Rick C-137 rejected this lifestyle, a spiteful Rick Prime retaliated by dropping a multiversal bomb that killed C-137's wife and daughter. This horrific act single-handedly set the entire plot of the show into motion. Perpetually frozen at a biological age of 27 due to an absolute cellular regeneration factor, he further isolated himself by constructing the devastating Omega Device to permanently erase his ex-wife, Diane, from every single reality simultaneously. His mastery of psychological torment, stealth cloaking, and heavy cybernetic augmentations allowed him to evade global retribution for decades.
