Main characters[edit]
Rick Sanchez[edit]
Main article: Rick Sanchez
Rick Sanchez
Rick Sanchez (voiced by Justin Roiland[1][2]) – A genius scientist who is the father of Beth Smith and the maternal grandfather of Morty and Summer. His alcoholic tendencies lead his daughter's family to worry about the safety of their son Morty. The series is often retroscripted for Rick's lines. He displays "diagnosable qualities of various mental illnesses". An extremely intellectual character that views his time as valuable,[3] he disparages the usefulness of many ordinary human conventions such as school, marriage, and even love, though he displays genuine affection towards his grandchildren and daughter throughout the series. His reaction to the mundane requests asked of him by Morty and other family members suggests he considers himself wholly superior to them, though in several instances throughout the series he shows a lonelier side. He frequently 'burp-talks' words in the middle of a sentence while speaking, presumably as a result of his alcoholism. He is identified as Rick Sanchez of Earth Dimension C-137. In "The Wedding Squanchers", Rick alongside Squanchy and Birdperson were revealed to be freedom fighters against the Galactic Federation who labeled them terrorists with warrants for their arrest. In order to guarantee the safety of his family, Rick leaves a tip on where he can be found as he surrenders to the Galactic Federation and is incarcerated in one of their prisons. In "The Rickshank Rickdemption" it is revealed that Rick actually turned himself in, in a scheme to destroy the Federation's economy; when the Council of Ricks interferes, Rick also takes the opportunity to take down the Council of Ricks. Rick also orchestrated "sending" Jerry away for his earlier attempt to convince the family to turn him into Federation custody, and making Rick "the de-facto patriarch of the household". However, Rick's attempt at driving Jerry away was unsuccessful, resulting in a diminished role in the family. The character was inspired primarily by Emmett Brown from Back to the Future.
Morty Smith[edit]
Morty Smith
Morty Smith (voiced by Justin Roiland[1]) – Rick's good-hearted but easily distressed 14-year-old grandson who is frequently dragged into Rick's misadventures. He is often reluctant to follow Rick's plans, and he often ends up traumatized by the unorthodox methods Rick uses to 'fix' situations. The main Morty the episodes follow is referred to as the "Mortiest Morty" by Rick due to his courage, which nearly every other Morty lacks due to their main use being makeshift cloaking devices, in which "Morty waves" cancel out a Rick's "genius waves" (a concept Morty takes offense to). In "The Rickshank Rickdemption" Morty is angry at Rick for abandoning them and convinces Summer not to do so though in the end after Rick returns home, Morty is glad to have his grandfather back. However, in "The Rickchurian Mortydate", Morty refuses to be at Rick's side when he decides to leave and stays with his parents and Summer. In "Raising Gazorpazorp" he accidentally impregnates an alien breeding robot, which gives birth to his half-alien son, Mortimer Smith Jr. Throughout the series, several characters mention that Morty has a learning disability. Despite this, he's shown to be intelligent and resourceful at times, if crippled by his low self esteem. The character was inspired primarily by Marty McFly from Back to the Future.
Beth Smith[edit]
Beth Smith
Beth Smith (née Sanchez) (voiced by Sarah Chalke) – Rick's daughter, Summer and Morty's mother, and Jerry's wife. She is a veterinarian who specializes in horse surgery, a job she internally feels to be beneath her and is often defensive when her career is compared to actual, human medicine. Level-headed and assertive, she struggles with her husband's ego, which thrives in defiance of his proven mediocrity. Several episodes have dealt with Beth's deep dissatisfaction with her life, stemming from her belief that she has "settled" in her marriage, family, and job. She wanted to become a "real" surgeon but became pregnant with Summer at 17. She is the most assertive force in her household, while also displaying traits of selfishness, humor, and intelligence. Beth is unperturbed by her father's destructive and dangerous tendencies around her son. She, from childhood, views Rick more favorably than her mother due to the parental separation.[3] Harmon expanded upon this origin in an interview: "Kids can sometimes idolize their worst parent and blame their supportive parent for chasing off the dad with the guts to leave. ... She believes that Rick, as crazy as he is, is the better of her two parents even though she was raised by her mother and she blames her mother's unremarkability on her father's departure and will do anything to keep her father back in her life."[3] In "The Rickshank Rickdemption", Beth is heartbroken that Rick abandoned her again and is unhappy with the federation's new conditions as the medicine they provide makes horses healthier than ever, which affects her job. She is glad when Rick comes back home again, but Jerry, sick of Rick, forces her to choose between Rick and himself. Beth chooses Rick over Jerry, leading to their implied divorce. In "The ABC's of Beth", it is revealed that Beth shares the same sociopathic tendencies as her father. After Rick offers to make Beth a clone of herself to tend to her family while she can explore the multiverse, she begins to believe that she herself is the clone and goes to Jerry for help. Beth realizes that she loves Jerry, and calls off the divorce, renewing her bond with her family and no longer insecure about Rick abandoning her again.
Jerry Smith[edit]
Jerry Smith
Jerry Smith (voiced by Chris Parnell[1]) – Summer and Morty's insecure father, Beth's husband, and Rick's son-in-law, who strongly disapproves of Rick's influence over his family. Jerry used to work at a low-level advertising agency until he was fired for incompetence. Generally insecure, he is frequently led into conflicts stemming from opportunistic posturing, while his marriage is sometimes jeopardized by his wife's reactions to his poor relationship with Rick. Beth views Jerry as meek under his boasts, ultimately fearful of confrontation. However, it is strongly suggested that in spite of their problems, they are emotionally co-dependent. The episode "Mortynight Run" reveals that one of the Ricks, keenly aware that every Jerry is incapable of surviving off of Earth, created a daycare where every Jerry is dropped off by their Rick and Morty during adventures should they attempt to accompany them. It is revealed in the same episode that in some dimensions, Beth has left Jerry and remarried. By the end of "The Wedding Squanchers", having attempted to talk his family into selling Rick out, Jerry becomes the only member of the family to benefit from the Earth joining the Galactic Federation. After the federation collapses, Jerry puts his foot down and tells Beth it is him or Rick, but Beth chooses her father and tells Rick she and Jerry are getting a divorce. Rick later claims to Morty in a rant that he planned this because Jerry had planned to betray him. As Jerry leaves, Summer ignores him and Rick waits for him to leave. Summer comes to terms with the separation and reconciles with him. In "The Rickchurian Mortydate", Jerry and Beth reconnect and she calls off the divorce.
Summer Smith[edit]
Summer Smith
Summer Smith (voiced by Spencer Grammer[1]) – Morty's 17-year-old older sister, a more conventional and often superficial teenager, who is obsessed with improving her status among her peers. Summer is generally similar to her mother, as she is often shown to be very smart and humorous, but she has also shown elements of Jerry's approval-seeking. She occasionally expresses jealousy that Morty gets to accompany Rick on his inter-dimensional adventures. In the second season, she accompanies Rick and Morty on adventures more frequently and sometimes will even prove herself to be more competent than Morty, especially when emotional nuance is required. Summer has, on occasion, been shown to think similar to Rick, such as quickly figuring out a way to save herself and Rick from execution, and correctly deducing that dead flies in Rick's garage were more than they appeared. Summer cares about Rick, and sees him as a hero. In "The Rickshank Rickdemption", she is the only member of the family who wants to rescue Rick despite the pleas of her brother that Rick is nothing more than a selfish jerk. When their parents agreed on a divorce, Summer began resenting her father and started showing her dark side, until she reconciles with him.
Secondary characters[edit]
Harry Herpson High School staff and students[edit]
Jessica (voiced by Kari Wahlgren[1]) – Jessica is a student in Morty's math class. Morty has a crush on her, but she rarely acknowledges him. On the occasions she does, however, she seems to be level headed and kind to him. She attends the dance with him in "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez", and even goes on a date with Healthy Morty in "Rest and Ricklaxation".
Principal Gene Vagina (voiced by Phil Hendrie) – Principal Gene Vagina is the principal of Harry Herpson High School. He often reminds people that despite his humorous last name, he is "very much in charge", even though he often uses his full name talking about himself.
Mr. Goldenfold (voiced by Brandon Johnson) – Mr. Goldenfold is Morty's math teacher. He takes his job very seriously, and is often seen loudly proclaiming the importance of mathematics to his class. He also has a multitude of deeply repressed sexual attractions, suffers from coprophagia, and his wife left him which he copes with by going to Jamba Juice.
Coach Feratu – The unseen gym teacher of Harry Herpson High School. He is a vampire who kills people at the school in order to feed. He is killed by Summer, Morty, and Tiny Rick offscreen. In the post-credits scene it is revealed that his real name is Balik Alistane, and his vampire superior is angered that he chose a human alias based on a famous vampire film instead of a normal-sounding pseudonym.
Brad (voiced by Echo Kellum) – Brad is a student at Harry Herpson High School. He is a jock who plays football for the school and dates Jessica. He does not appear in the second season. Jessica and Brad broke up in Season 3 Episode 6 "Rest and Ricklaxation" however it is implied they are trying to get back together at the end of the episode.
Ethan (voiced by Daniel Benson) – Summer's boyfriend. Rick uses him to build his new Anatomy Park after the first one explodes. His older brother molested him when he was younger. By the episode, "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez", he and Summer seem to have broken up, as he is not seen or mentioned and Summer expresses interest in another boy. However they apparently got back together only for him to dump her for a girl with bigger breasts named Tricia Lange in "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy" which causes Summer to develop body issues and tries to use a growth ray from Rick's lab to increase her breast size, but goes too far and enlarges various parts of her body. Beth tries to fix things herself but causes Summer to become a giant with her skin turned inside out and she runs off to confront Ethan who is camping with Tricia. Morty manages to figure out the machine and works together with his mother who has Morty use the device on her in the made so she can console Summer, while Morty confronts Ethan over how he broke Summer's heart and made her hate herself, before he turns the machine on Ethan. In the post credits scene for the episode, Ethan is shown alive but horribly disfigured with various body parts enlarged as he walks across a bridge while three small aliens who had escaped the growth ray machine early in the episode comment on how Ethan's problem could easily be fixed amongst themselves.
Nancy (voiced by Aislinn Paul) – An unpopular girl at the school whom Summer dislikes and attempts to get rid of during Rick's party in "Ricksy Business". She plays the flute in the school band, and costs Summer her newfound popularity after she tells the other partygoers about Summer's mistreatment of her.
Toby Matthews (voiced by Alex Hirsch) – A popular boy at Harry Herpson High School whom Summer has a crush on. He enters a relationship with her thanks to her association with Tiny Rick, but breaks up with her once she gets Tiny Rick expelled in an attempt to save the real Rick's life.
Frank Palicky (voiced by Ryan Ridley) – A psychopathic student at Harry Herpson High School whom Summer had a crush on. He acted as a frequent bully to Morty. Frank was frozen by Rick as he threatened to cut Morty with a switchblade. Despite Rick assuring Morty that he'd be fine and that he'll unfreeze him later, he toppled over and shattered as Summer approached to talk to him.
MC Haps (voiced by Dan Harmon) – A student at the school who also happens to be a rapper. He is first seen performing a "flu-hating rap" at the Flu Season Dance during "Rick Potion No. 9", and can later be seen in the background at several other party scenes in the show.
Tricia Lange – A busty attractive girl who Ethan dumps Summer for in "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy". She is shown camping with Ethan when Summer who had become a giant with her skin inside out after a mishap with a growth ray of Rick's she was using to enlarge her breasts to compete with Tricia. She tries to attack Tricia and Ethan, but is stopped by Beth who had Morty use the machine to do the same thing to Beth so she could console Summer. Tricia is touched when she hears what Beth did for Summer from Morty when he is telling them what is going on and leaves the campsite overcome with emotion stating she needs to call her mother, leaving Ethan alone with Morty who disfigures him with the grown ray out of revenge for breaking Summer's heart, showing she herself is not a bad person and it is implied that Ethan was only interested in her for her body. In "Rest and Ricklaxation" it is revealed that she is friends with Jessica and Tricia admits to Jessica and a friend that she enjoys urophagia.
Alternate-universe versions of the main characters[edit]
Different versions of the main characters inhabit other realities and dimensions. Other Ricks are mostly similar to the "main" Rick, though some have unique features which set them apart. Most other Mortys seen in the show are far more timid and weak-willed than the main Morty, an exception being "Evil Morty". They are all voiced by the same actors who voice the main versions of them.
The Trans-Dimensional Council of Ricks – A parody of the Fantastic Four's Council of Reeds which acts as a governing body of sorts for the various versions of Rick inhabiting different timelines and dimensions. They are often at odds with Rick C-137 due to his refusal to cooperate with them (which he claims makes every Rick on the council less Rick than him), but they are otherwise shown to be on good terms with him, as a few council members were seen at Rick's party in "Ricksy Business". The Council is killed by Rick in the season 3 premiere, "The Rickshank Redemption". "The Ricklantis Mixup" reveals that after the Council's death the Citadel became a democratic government and that the Council were really figure-heads for a shadowy Cabal of Ricks.
Doofus Rick – The Rick of Dimension J-19 Zeta 7. He is a supposedly less intelligent Rick with bucked teeth and a bowl cut, and allegedly comes from a universe in which everyone consumes their own feces (though, as he denies this, it is unknown whether or not he actually does). As he never fathered a Beth, he had his Morty assigned to him, "Eric Stoltz Mask Morty", from a dimension in which everyone has lionitis. He is much kinder than most other Ricks and befriends Jerry.
Evil Rick – A Rick who supposedly comes from a dimension in which everyone is evil. He kills other Ricks to download the contents of their brains, and then hacks the portal gun of Rick C-137 (the main Rick) in order to frame him for the crime. He created a database which sorts Ricks from most evil to least evil, and he and Rick C-137 are separated by a single Rick whom Evil Rick describes as being "super weird". He is killed by the various Mortys he kidnapped and is then revealed to have a mind control device implanted in his brain, that he had been controlled remotely. It is not known whether "Evil Rick" was actually evil.
Evil Morty – Supposedly the Morty of Evil Rick. On his initial appearance, he wore an eyepatch, and did not speak much, later being revealed to have been controlling Evil Rick, and escapes among the thousands of other Mortys freed from captivity. In ""The Ricklantis Mixup/Tales from the Citadel", Evil Morty has taken a new identity as Candidate Morty, and is able to be elected new President of the Citadel after a stirring speech for unity, and a survived assassination attempt by his former Campaign Manager Morty, after the manager learned his true identity. After election, Evil Morty proceeds to assassinate a shadow cabinet of Ricks who were the true power behind the scenes, and starts grand plans for reform for his own nefarious end.
Cronenberg Rick and Morty – The Rick and Morty from "Cronenberg World", a dimension in which everyone is a grotesque mass of flesh combined with various animal parts (a reference to David Cronenberg's association with the body horror genre). They migrate to the show's original universe, whose entire population the original Rick turned into other "Cronenbergs", after Cronenberg Rick accidentally turned the inhabitants of Cronenberg World into regular humans. By the time Morty and Summer return to this timeline in the Season 3 premiere, a large number of the Cronenbergs seem to have been killed by the timeline's Smith family. It is unknown if Cronenberg Rick and Morty survived.
Alternate Beth and Jerry – Alternate versions of Beth and Jerry from Dimension C-500A in which Beth aborted Summer. They are both widely successful with Jerry being a famous Hollywood actor while Beth is a renowned surgeon for humans rather than horses. Jerry is depicted as the best friend of Johnny Depp and engaging in sex with Kristen Stewart. Despite their successes however, both are shown to be deeply unhappy and unfulfilled personally. After Jerry has a breakdown and leads the police on a car chase, he travels to Beth's house and confesses that he loves her and regrets that she got the abortion; the two then embrace and seemingly decide to start anew together. This is seen on one of the channels that Rick and Morty watched.
C-137 Smith family – The Jerry, Beth, and Summer of the original C-137 timeline. They were main characters when the series began, and as such were identical to the "current" Smith family. In "Rick Potion No. 9", they are left behind as Rick takes Morty to a new dimension to live after he irreparably turns everyone besides them into "cronenbergs". By the time Morty C-137 and the Summer return to dimension C-137 in the season 3 premiere, the sanity of the C-137 Smiths seems to have eroded, as they attempt to kill Summer and hold Morty captive because of their association with Rick.
Campaign Manager Morty – The campaign manager of Candidate Morty. Campaign Manager Morty is fired for not having faith. While at a bar, Investigator Rick reveals to him that Candidate Morty is Evil Morty. Campaign Manager Morty unsuccessfully tries to assassinate Evil Morty, but is detained and ejected into space through an airlock.
Shadow Council of Ricks – A shadowy cabal of Ricks that has secretly controlled the Citadel since before the Council. While trying to make President Morty (actually Evil Morty) become their figurehead, President Morty has most of them killed, leaving only two alive. The corpses of those killed are ejected into space.
Rick D. Sanchez III – The C.E.O. of Simple Rick's, a wafer that gets its taste from chemical secretions in Simple Rick's brain which has the moment he realized Beth was his greatest creation played in his mind in an endless loop. After a factory worker Rick goes insane and murders the Regional Manager Rick and indirectly Simple Rick, Rick D. Sanchez III seemingly saves the factory worker from imprisonment, he makes the factory worker the new Simple Rick. Rick D. Sanchez III is later seen at the Shadow Council's meeting with President Morty (actually Evil Morty), who has most of them, including Rick D. Sanchez, shot dead.
Cop Rick and Cop Morty – Two Citadel police officers. In contrast between the normal dynamic between Ricks and Mortys, Cop Rick is the more moral of the duo while Cop Morty is extremely immoral and racist against other Mortys. They discover the Mortytown Locos hideout, where Cop Rick is injured by a Morty he was trying to comfort. While Cop Rick treats his wound, Cop Morty kills all the Mortytown Locos, horrifying Cop Rick. Cop Morty then takes Cop Rick to a strip club, revealing he is a corrupt cop under the payroll of Big Morty. Cop Rick's refusal to take a bribe results in a gunfight, where Cop Morty pins Big Morty on the ground, executing him. Cop Rick then shoots Cop Morty and turns himself in, only to be let go and reinstated due to President Morty's (actually Evil Morty) changes to the department.
Associates of Rick[edit]
Mr. Meeseeks (voiced by Justin Roiland) – A race of blue humanoid creatures who all share the same name and personality. The Meeseeks are created from a metal box called a Meeseeks Box, and once they appear, whoever summoned them must give them a single, simple task for them to fulfill, after which they disappear in a cloud of smoke. Meeseeks make their first appearance when Rick becomes tired of the family members asking him for favors, so he gives them the Meeseeks Box to have the Meeseeks do chores for him, but not before explaining that Mr Meeseeks "are not Gods" and therefore their chores must be kept simple. Mr. Meeseeks are normally cheerful and cartoonish in personality, but if they spend too much time without fulfilling their given task, their sanity begins to wane and they can become dangerously psychotic, going to great lengths to see their task done. This is because, according to the Meeseeks themselves, merely existing is physically and psychologically tortuous to them, so the sooner they complete their tasks the sooner they can disappear.
Scary Terry (voiced by Jess Harnell) – A murderous entity who resides in the dream world. He is a parody of Freddy Krueger and has miniature swords on his fingers instead of knives. He initially tries to kill Rick and Morty, but later befriends them after they help him with his own dream problems. He is very fond of the word "bitch", and injects it into almost every sentence. It is revealed that scaring is simply an occupation for him, and that he is very insecure about his capabilities, which puts him under great stress. Unlike Krueger, who was a human that was burned to death and then became a demonic ghost, Scary Terry is of a different species and his burnt appearance is a naturally-occurring trait, as seen with his similarly "scary" wife and infant son, as well as the classmates and teacher seen in his dream.
Dr. Xenon Bloom (voiced by John Oliver) – A sentient amoeba who co-founded Anatomy Park along with Rick. He is killed when the diseases of the park escape from captivity and overrun the park.
Birdperson (voiced by Dan Harmon) – A superhero-like being who is Rick's best friend. He holds a deep respect for Rick, and often offers Morty insight when Morty considers doing something that would jeopardize his and Rick's relationship. He was at one point in a band with Rick and Squanchy. Birdperson, Rick, and Squanchy were once freedom fighters against the Galactic Federation's oppression; their "crimes" led the Galactic Federation to issue warrants for their arrests. Birdperson marries Tammy in the season 2 finale, but is killed by her after it is revealed that she is an undercover agent of the Galactic Federation sent to capture Rick and his associates. Birdperson's appearance is based on the character Hawk from 1970s series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. In the opening of Season 3, Bird Person is turned into a cyborg called Phoenix Person by Tammy and Federation after Rick destroys the Federations economy and forces them to leave Earth.
Revolio "Gearhead" Clockberg, Jr. (voiced by Scott Chernoff) – A robotic-looking "gearperson". He is well-versed in an event that occurred on his home planet called the "Gear Wars" and can play an instrument similar to a lute. Despite being one of Rick's friends, Rick doesn't even know his real name, preferring to call him "Gearhead", a racial epithet. Rick and Morty hide out at his house while fugitives for freeing Fart, and Gearhead betrays Rick by calling the police. Because of this, Rick beats him up and replaces his mouth gears with his "gearsticles". He has a somewhat effeminate voice, and a magazine entitled "Queer Gear" can be seen in his home, hinting that he is a gear-mosexual. Despite his betrayal, he is shown attending Rick's party in "Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender", indicating that they are still friends. He catches Morty's Vindicators jacket after he tosses it away and is later shown attempting to pick up some gear women by pretending to be a part of the team. However, an actual disaster strikes, causing him to run away. He then trips on a pile of gears and falls, causing his arms and legs to break off.
Squanchy (voiced by Tom Kenny) – A disheveled catlike creature who replaces various words in his sentences with the word "squanch". He is one of Rick's best friends, possessing a bracelet inscribed with "Rick's BFF". Squanchy, Birdperson, and Rick were once freedom fighters against the Galactic Federation's oppression; their "crimes" led the Galactic Federation to issue warrants for their arrests. Morty and Jessica catch him engaging in autoerotic asphyxiation in a closet in the garage. He was at one point in a band with Rick and Birdperson. When the Galactic Federation infiltrates Birdperson's wedding in the season 2 finale episode "The Wedding Squanchers", he reveals that one of his teeth contains a liquid which transforms him into a hulking behemoth. Justin Roiland combined his name with the company Nintendo to form the name for his Virtual Reality studio, "Squanchtendo".
Abradolf Lincler (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) – A being created by Rick. He has the DNA of both Abraham Lincoln and Adolf Hitler, which was intended to make him "the world's first neutral super leader". Instead, it renders him with conflicting emotions that he is unable to deal with. He initially seeks to be accepted as a son by his "father" Rick. After Rick tries to get him killed in an alien environment, he swears revenge on him only to be picked up by the Testicle Monsters to be used as a sex toy in their weird orgy.
Krombopulos Michael (voiced by Andy Daly) – A cheerful and friendly Gromflomite assassin who often purchases weapons from Rick. He is accidentally killed by Morty as the latter clumsily pilots Rick's ship into the building that Michael's target is imprisoned in. Krombopulos Michael is also revealed to have an unnamed lover, in which he ceremoniously kisses a locket with her picture, before embarking on his mission to kill his target, leading to his accidental death.
Unity (voiced by various; main body voiced by Christina Hendricks) – A hive mind whom Rick had previously dated, as they are two of the small handful of sentient beings capable of fully comprehending the scope of the universe. To spread to others, the hosts vomit a green liquid into the others' mouths which quickly incorporates them. Unity and Rick get back together, but Unity soon realizes that the self-destructive behavior they indulge in when they are together is bad for both of them, leading to Unity ending their relationship again. A distraught Rick attempts suicide, but fails.
Blim Blam the Klorblok (voiced by John Kassir) – A murderer who eats babies and apparently traveled to Earth to do so. He was eventually captured and chained up by Rick in an attempt to cure Blim Blam's "space AIDS" in order to become rich selling the cure. He was discovered by Beth and Jerry, however, the two's bickering annoyed Blim Blam to the point that he broke free, berated the two by using a translation device Rick had (as he could only speak in alien beforehand), then left promising never to return to Earth.
Mr. Poopybutthole (voiced by Justin Roiland) – A longtime family friend. He is a parody of wacky side characters on television shows. Although he shows up at the same time as a group of Alien Parasites who take the forms of similarly zany characters, Mr. Poopybutthole himself is real. He is severely injured by Beth after she mistakes him for an Alien Parasite and shoots him. By the post-credits, Mr. Poopybutthole survives the wound and is undergoing physical therapy. While the nurse states that he doesn't want any visitors right now due to the stress of his rehabilitation, she does forward Mr. Poopybutthole's apology to them about nobody having bad memories of him. Mr. Poopybutthole is seen again in the post-credits of "The Wedding Squanchers" watching the episode while still recovering from his wound. After getting his pizza delivered, he implores the viewers to tune in a year to 18 months from now in order to see how the cliffhanger is resolved in Season 3. He appears again in the post-credits scenes in Season 3 finale and has a wife and kids.
Arthricia (voiced by Chelsea Kane) – A young alien girl who resembles an anthropomorphic cat person. She resides on a planet with an Amish style culture whose residents engage in an annual "purge". She first injures Rick and steals his ship in order to use it to kill the rich people of her planet and stop the purge. She is unable to fly it properly, so Rick gives her a robot suit and helps her kill the rich people after Morty gets too carried away with killing people and has to be subdued. Morty later asks her out, but she declines and claims that she already has a boyfriend.
The Vindicators – A group of 8 superheroes who band together to fight evil when it threatens to destroy the world. They enlisted Rick and Morty to help them defeat their arch-nemesis, Worldender once before, but did not invite them back a second time due to "personality conflicts", resulting in mass casualties and 3 of them dying. Nearly all of them are killed when Rick, in a fit of drunken jealousy and contempt, sets up a Saw-style gauntlet to prove that the team is nothing but a bunch of one-dimensional hacks, causing most of the team to either die to Rick's traps, or kill each other when tensions and inner turmoil turn them against each other. They are a parody of the Avengers and other superhero teams, such as the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Justice League.
Vance Maximus, Renegade Starsoldier (voiced by Christian Slater) – The leader of the Vindicators. He is likely a parody of both Iron Man and Star-Lord. While he presents himself as a suave, friendly, and fun-loving leader, Rick's death trap quickly causes him to reveal his true nature as a selfish, jittery man who easily collapses under pressure. It is during this time that he admits to Morty that he only lets him tag along with the Vindicators because he's "the learning-disabled kid we do photo ops with". He is the first Vindicator to die when he is killed by a death trap after he attempts to escape in a fit of anxiety.
Alan Rails (voiced by Lance Reddick) – A man who gained the ability to summon ghost trains after his parents were killed in a railroad accident. He is a muscular African-American man dressed in steam train driver clothes. He also wears a ghostly train whistle around his neck, which he uses to summon ghost trains and other railroad themed items. He used to be married to Supernova, but got divorced from her when she cheated on him with Million Ants, causing a feud between him and the latter. He is killed when Million Ants forces his way into his mouth and causes his body to explode, which Super Buu did to an assassin sent to kill him in Dragon Ball and which Ink almost did to Batman Beyond in the episode “Inked”. He has a particular dislike for Rick and is said to be the one who didn't want to invite him back to defeat Worldender the second time as well as the mission with Doomnometron. He is a parody of the superhero Steel, with powers similar to Green Lantern.
Supernova (voiced by Gillian Jacobs) – A woman with cosmic powers. She used her powers to turn a sentient ant colony into Million Ants, and then began an affair with him while still married to Alan Rails. She became pregnant with Million Ants' child, but miscarried due to the child being half million ants and half collapsing star. She tries to kill Rick and Morty as revenge for Rick setting up the death traps, and also kills Million Ants when he attempts to intervene to stop her. She nearly succeeds in killing Rick and Morty until it is revealed that Rick set up a party in celebration of the Vindicators completing all his challenges. Not wanting to get arrested, she escapes in the crowd, making her the only Vindicator still alive by the end of the episode. She is most likely a parody of Starfire, with a design like Singularity.
Crocubot (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) – A cybernetically-enhanced crocodile. Rick considers him to be redundant as he is "half cold, unfeeling machine, half also cold, unfeeling reptile". He attempts to solve the death trap of naming the location in the galaxy of which the Vindicators never speak. He answers "Dorian 5", a planet the Vindicators destroyed to defeat a shapeshifting enemy. This turns out to be wrong, and Crocubot is crushed to death by a pair of giant metal jaws. He is likely a parody of Cyborg (comics), while also referencing animal superheroes like Rocket Raccoon.
Million Ants (voiced by Tom Kenny) – A sentient ant colony who was brought to life by (and later had an affair with) Supernova. He is virtually invincible as long as his queen ant is unharmed, because if he loses any ants, they can simply be replaced by laying more eggs. He is killed by Supernova when she crushes the queen after he tries to stop her from killing Rick and Morty. He is likely a parody of Ant-Man, though he bears more of a resemblance to the Marvel villain Swarm, and DC comics superhero (formerly villainous) Clayface.
Lady Katana, Calypso, and Diablo Verde - They were the 3 members of the team who died in the penultimate Vindicators 2 mission, parodying how in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Quicksilver died. Their only appearance was in a photo Morty had on his I-Pad and as cardboard cutouts in the rocket car ride a drunken Rick made for Noob Noob. Lady Katana was a woman of Asian decent with cybernetic arms and legs with a katana and was most likely a parody of Katana from DC comics and Lady Deathstrike from Marvel comics. Calypso was a woman of possibly Hawaiian decent who was a shaman dressed in a ceremonial tribal outfit with a staff, a parody of Doctor Strange and other superheroes who wield magic. Diablo Verde was a Incredible Hulk parody that was also similar to the Abomination (both from Marvel comics), who had a Latin American vibe and appearance similar to calacas dolls synonymous with the Day of the Dead.
Noob Noob (voiced by Justin Roiland) – The Vindicators' intern and janitor, who appears to be of the same species as Mr. Poopybutthole except with asymmetrical eyes. He wishes to eventually become a full-fledged Vindicator, but is always made to stay behind and clean up their ship. Rick values him above the other vindicators and Morty because he laughs at Rick's jokes.
Characters seen on inter-dimensional cable[edit]
The following characters are seen when Rick and Morty watch the inter-dimensional cable in the episodes "Rixty Minutes" and "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate":
Alternate David Letterman (voiced by Jeff Bergman) – A version of David Letterman from Dimension C-500A who interviews that dimension's Jerry Smith who talks about Cloud Atlas.
Ants-In-My-Eyes Johnson (voiced by Justin Roiland) – A man with ants crawling inside his eyes who owns a store. He is completely blind because of this and has no sensation of touch either.
Alternate Saturday Night Live cast members – The cast of a version of Saturday Night Live in an alternate dimension.
Piece of Toast – A sentient piece of toast.
Two Guys with Handlebar Mustaches – A basketball player and a Buddhist that sport handlebar mustaches.
A Man Painted Silver that Makes Robot Noises – This character is a parody of Chris Parnell's SNL character Kevin Aquarius.
Garmanarnar – An insectoid.
Three Unknown Things – A trio of yellow unspecified creatures with a name so hard to pronounce the announcer just says "I'll get back to that one".
A Hole in the Wall Where the Men Can See All – A sentient hole in the wall.
Alternate Bobby Moynihan – This version of Bobby Moynihan has been on Saturday Night Live for 25 years. Rick comments to Morty that Bobby Moynihan and Piece of Toast hate each other due to some "creative differences".
Real Fake Doors salesman (voiced by Justin Roiland) – A man who sells doors which are incapable of opening.
Glenn (voiced by Justin Roiland) – A man who eats feces, and stars in a movie about it. In what is likely supposed to be a plot twist, he is served with a court order barring him from feces consumption.
Gazorpazorpfield and Jon (voiced by Justin Roiland and Tom Kenny respectively) – Characters from the Gazorpian TV show Gazorpazorpfield, a parody of Garfield. Gazorpazorpfield, being a male Gazorpian, is extremely aggressive by nature and is shown verbally abusing his owner, Jon. Rick states that Gazorpazorpfield is voiced by Lorenzo Music (the person who voiced Garfield in real life until his death) who is still alive in the universe in which Gazorpazorpfield airs while also claiming that Bill Murray voiced him in the movie.
Tophat Jones (voiced by Justin Roiland) – A parody of Lucky the Leprechaun, the mascot of Lucky Charms with ears similar to the Trix Rabbit. Tophat Jones is the mascot for "Strawberry Smiggles". He is shown eating a bowl of them and feeling content at the fact that since he has done so, no one else will be able to have any. He is then brutally eviscerated by two children who eat the cereal from his stomach.
Two Brothers – A pair of brothers who star in an action film in which they deal with such threats as meteors, a tornado, a giant cat monster, a Mexican armada with tomato weapons, elderly gladiator women, and the moon colliding with the planet. The brothers are stated to have a very strong bond.
Baby Legs and Regular Legs (voiced by Justin Roiland and Rob Paulsen respectively) – A buddy cop duo consisting of a man with legs the size of an infant's and another man who appears to be physically normal. Baby Legs attempts to prove that he is not inhibited by his small legs, but fails to catch a criminal. The criminal is promptly subdued by Regular Legs and Baby Legs learns to accept the fact that he needs a regular-legged partner.
Mrs. Sullivan – A cat lady that is featured in the trailer for "Last Will and Testimeow: Weekend at Dead Cat Lady's House II" which was written and directed by the Jerry Smith of Dimension C-500A. After she dies, her cats control her body like a puppet to make it look like that she is still alive and can remain on the estate.
The Eyeholes Man (voiced by Justin Roiland) – The mascot of "Eyeholes" cereal as seen in "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate". He is a blue-skinned alien in a superhero costume who beats up anyone who attempts to eat his cereal as seen in a commercial where two eyeless lovers were attacked by him for wearing Eyeholes on their face. Rick advises Morty not to get caught with a box of Eyeholes or else the Eyeholes Man will crash through a window and beat him up. In the post-credits, the Eyeholes Man beats up Jerry upon catching him with a box of Eyeholes.
Jan Michael Vincent – A real-life American actor who, in-universe, stars in a film called Jan Quadrant Vincent 16.
Stealy (voiced by Justin Roiland) – A creature of similar appearance to Mr. Poopybutthole, but with disproportionately long arms. He stars in his own television show, in which he engages in kleptomania (and sometimes even kidnapping) and then assesses the worth of what he stole. He measures the worth of his loot in "brapples", which appear to be hybrids of roosters and apples.
Little Dipper – A Tinymouth who advertised the restaurant Lil' Bits which serves tiny-sized food for people with tiny mouths.
Michael and Pichael Thompson (both voiced by Justin Roiland) – Conjoined twins who each have their own television shows. Michael is a news anchor while Pichael hosts a cooking show. They have a great amount of resentment towards one another, and the fact that they both tape their shows at the same time leads to difficulties and on-set fights between the two.
Octopus Man – A marine biologist who was bitten by an octopus causing half of his left arm and torso become octopus-like. He rides in a car with a scar-faced man and goes to save people by attacking random people that might cause some trouble.
Phillip Jacobs – Host of Personal Space Show. Really cares about his personal space.
Alien ethnic groups[edit]
The Zigerions – A race of highly intelligent alien scammers who routinely abduct Rick and place him into virtual simulations in an attempt to get his recipe for concentrated dark matter. They are very uncomfortable with nudity, though they did manage to create an accurate model of Morty, complete with genitalia. Having known from the beginning that he was in a double-layered simulation and tired of dealing with the Zigerions, Rick gives them a fake recipe for concentrated dark matter which causes their ship to explode.
Prince Nebulon (voiced by David Cross) – The Prince of the Zigerions. The Zigerions being uncomfortable with nudity is a reference to Cross' character on Arrested Development having a similar issue.[citation needed]
Kevin (voiced by Dan Harmon) – A nerdy-looking Zigerion who was made to spy on Morty while he was nude in order to create an accurate representation of his genitals for their simulation.
The Plutonians – Citizens of the celestial dwarf planet Pluto. Nearly all Plutonians do not want to believe that their home is no longer a planet. Their first major appearance is in "Something Ricked This Way Comes". The Plutonians earlier appeared multiple times in "M. Night Shaym-Aliens!", presumably as test subjects for the Zigerion simulations.
King Flippy Nips (voiced by Rich Fulcher) – The King of the Plutonians.
Scroopy Noopers (voiced by Nolan North) – A Plutonian scientist and outcast who is later revealed to be King Flippy Nips's son.
Unity's Hosts – An unnamed race of blue-skinned humanoid aliens whose minds Unity has taken over and assimilated into her collective conscience. As Unity's control over them begins to weaken due to Rick's influence, they begin a race war amongst themselves due to having differently shaped nipples.
Alien Parasites – The Alien Parasites can take the forms of wacky side characters and insert themselves into peoples' memories to convince them that they've always known them, parodying old sitcoms and their tendency to shoehorn in new characters to boost failing ratings. They multiply very quickly and must be contained to prevent them from taking over and/or destroying the world. Their only weakness is that they can't create negative memories, since they feed on the chemicals the brain produces from positive feelings. The Smith Family take advantage of this and slay all the Alien Parasites.
Amish Cyborg – An (ironically-themed) Amish cyborg, unlike the other parasites, it seems that at least part of his guise (the cybernetic implants) were an actual part of his body
Baby Wizard – An infant wizard who supposedly hooked up the Duck with Muscles with his future wife.
Bigfoot
Cleopatra
Cousin Nicky (voiced by Ryan Ridley) – A supposed relative of the Smith family from Brooklyn. He is an embodiment of various New Yorker stereotypes and his catchphrase is "I'm walkin' here!" (a line used by Dustin Hoffman's character Enrico Rizzo in "Midnight Cowboy").
Duck Guy or Duck with Muscles – An unnamed rubber duck with muscular arms. Baby Wizard was said to have hooked Duck with Muscles up with a woman that would eventually become his wife.
Elvis Impersonator – An Alien Parasite in the form an Elvis Presley impersonator.
Frankenstein's Monster (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) – A variation of the monster from Frankenstein who is a member of the Smith family. He is said to be a veteran of the Vietnam War, having served with Rick.
Ghost in a Jar – A tiny green ghost that resides in a jar. Rick states that he is good at explaining obscure jokes for people that do not get them. It was mentioned that his life was saved by Reverse Giraffe in Vietnam. His jar is actually the lower half of his body.
Hamurai (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) – A samurai that wears armor made of ham, steaks, sausages, and bacon strips. It was mentioned that he went to college with Reverse Giraffe.
Mr. Beauregard (voiced by Tony Barbieri) – The Smith family's butler. In one flashback he dresses up as Morty's date to the prom and fights Hitler in another.
Mrs. Refrigerator (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) – A female anthropomorphic refrigerator. She is one of the first parasites who is found out by the family, and attempts to pass a roller coaster ride off as a negative memory in a state of panic, only to try and run once Beth points out the flaw in her statement.
Pencilvester (voiced by Tom Kenny) – An anthropomorphic pencil. Rick takes a liking to this particular parasite and instructs Morty to kill him as he is unable to bring himself to do it.
Photography Raptor – A Utahraptor that is constantly taking pictures and can't communicate verbally.
Reverse Giraffe (voiced by Keith David) – An eloquent-speaking giraffe with a short neck, stubby legs, and a long body. He stated that he went to college with Hamurai, saved Ghost in a Jar's life in Vietnam, and had been a shoulder for Beth to cry on.
Sleepy Gary (voiced by Matt Walsh) – A tired man in pajamas and a nightcap who is portrayed as Beth's husband and Jerry's best friend/secret lover who yearns to divorce his wife so that he can be with Jerry.
Tinkles (voiced by Tara Strong) – A magical flying ballerina lamb with a rainbow unicorn horn who is Summer's imaginary friend. She is stated to live in "Never-Past-Bedtime Land" with numerous similar creatures like a bear parka-wearing bird, a butterfly/sunflower hybrid, a Chowder look-a-like, a cloud yeti, an Easter Bunny/Monkey hybrid, a headphones-wearing dragon, a hoodie-wearing slug, a sunglasses-wearing strawberry, a sweatband-wearing star, and a winter-wear turtle.
Uncle Steve (voiced by Tony Barbieri) – The supposed older brother of Jerry.
William Shakespeare
Unnamed characters – The forms of the alien parasites that were unnamed. These forms consist of an Astronaut, a Bearded Lady, a British Guard, a Burglar, a Caveman, a Chef, a Flamingo, a Fruit Hat Girl, a Giant Robot, a Girl Robot, a Girl Scout, a Gnome, a Harlem Globetrotter, a humanoid bear with kidneys that would be compatible to Beth's, a humanoid catfish, a humanoid fox, a humanoid sun, a humanoid unicorn, a Japanese businessman, a Lucky Cat, a Mexican Man, a Mr. Peanut look-a-like, a mushroom head, a nun, a party hat-wearing snake, a pink balloon animal, a rooster, a Scottish "Braveheart" warrior, a sea captain in rain gear, a small cowboy riding a dog, a snorkel kid, a space monkey, and a trashcan-wearing creature.
The Cromulons (voiced by Justin Roiland) – A race of planet-sized heads (who, for some reason, all look like bald versions of Rick's head) who "feed off the talent and showmanship of less-evolved lifeforms". They transport planets to the expanse of the universe they inhabit and make the residents perform on a talent competition show that they run called Planet Music, with planets that lose or get disqualified being disintegrated by a massive laser cannon. When Rick and Morty win the competition, the Cromulons declare their song the best they've ever heard and decide to end their show after 988 seasons. The general population, meanwhile, mistakes them for gods and begins to worship them as such.
Other characters[edit]
Aliens / Non-humans[edit]
Snuffles/Snowball (voiced by Rob Paulsen) – Snuffles was the Smith family dog. Fed up with the dog's lack of intelligence, Jerry asked Rick to create a device which would amplify it. This caused Snuffles to realize that dogs are being oppressed and create robot suits for himself and other dogs to take over the world, demanding to be referred to as Snowball because his "fur is pretty and white". Since Morty was kind to him, he keeps Morty as his own pet and pampers him, exhibiting the same kind of "pet parent" behavior that his species rebelled against humanity for. Rick tricks him into thinking that Morty is dying of a fatal kidney disease, so Snuffles spares no expense attempting to cure Morty. After realizing that he and the other dogs became what they hated by enslaving humanity, they become remorseful and travel to a new dimension to live in peace.
Mortimer "Morty" Smith Jr. (voiced by Finnegan Perry as a baby, Will Jennings as a child, Richard Christy as a teenager, and Maurice LaMarche as an adult) – Morty's half-Gazorpian son. He was conceived by Morty's extensive use of a sex robot from the planet Gazorpazorp. Due to his Gazorpian heritage, Morty Jr. is extremely prone to violence, something Morty tries hard to discourage. By the end of the episode, he learns to channel his violent urges into writing and releases a book entitled "My Horrible Father" about Morty. Because Gazorpians age much faster than humans, it is unknown if Morty Jr. is still alive.
King Jellybean (voiced by Tom Kenny) – An anthropomorphic jellybean who rules a poor village. He attempts to molest Morty in a public bathroom, but Morty fights back and beats him up. He is killed by Rick, and is posthumously revealed to have a collection of compromising photographs, which are strongly implied to be of him molesting children.The photographs are destroyed to preserve what he represented to the people.
Fart (voiced by Jemaine Clement) – A gaseous being with the ability to read minds and alter matter. His species has no need for names, but he calls himself "Fart" after Rick refers to him as one. At Morty's insistence, he and Rick assist Fart in getting back home, but Fart is killed by Morty after it is revealed that his species sees carbon-based lifeforms as a disease and plans to wipe them out. His musical style is inspired by the personality and works of David Bowie.[4][5]
Beta VII (voiced by Patton Oswalt) – Another hive mind who resembles the Borg from Star Trek: The Next Generation. He is an associate of Unity who appears to harbor a crush on her. He is a reference to the stereotype of the "beta male" and the implication is that he has been "friend zoned" by Unity.
Ice-T (voiced by Dan Harmon) – A famous American rapper who is tasked with helping Rick and Morty to write a song. Though he initially appears to just be human, he is revealed to be a member of the Alphabetarians, aliens whose bodies are composed of an elemental material and shaped like a letter of the alphabet. He was originally known as Water-T, but was frozen as punishment for his apathetic outlook on life. Rick inspires him to care about things, and he saves the earth by using his body to deflect the Cromulons' laser. As a reward for his altruistic deed, he is welcomed back by his home planet and returned to his true form. When a Numbericon attack results in the death of his father Magma-Q, Ice-T leads the Alphabetarians into battle against the Numbericons.
Zeep Xanflorp (voiced by Stephen Colbert) – A scientist within Rick's Microverse Battery who creates his own micro-planet power supply called the Miniverse. His development of a new power supply prevents Rick from using his flying car. Zeep is depicted as arrogant and very intelligent, and in many ways a parallel of Rick.
Shrimply Pibbles – An intergalactic civil rights leader described as "the most important man in the universe". He is supposed to receive Jerry's penis in a heart transplant after it is found that his penis can be fashioned into a new heart, but Jerry attempts to weasel out of it. Pibbles gets a state-of-the-art artificial heart instead.
Cornvelius Daniel (voiced by Nathan Fillion) – A galactic federation agent who attempts to get the mathematical formulation for interdimensional travel out of Rick's brain while Rick is in federation penal custody. Daniel's mind is briefly swapped into Rick's body, just before Seal Team Rick arrive to assassinate Rick.
Concerto – A music-themed villain who only appears in the post-credits scene in "Pickle Rick". He attempts to crush Rick and Morty with the hammers on a giant piano, but is killed by Jaguar before he could do any harm to Rick or Morty.[6]
Worldender – A supervillain and the archenemy of the Vindicators. He had attempted to destroy the world once before, but was thwarted by the Vindicators. The Vindicators reassemble to stop him a second time, but by the time they arrive at his lair they find that he and his men had already been brutally murdered by Rick whilst on a drunken bender. He is a parody of various comic book supervillains such as Thanos and Darkseid, and possibly Apocalypse.
Doomnometron - A unseen supervillain who was the focus of the fateful and penultimate Vindicators 2 mission. His intent unknown, but most likely was going to destroy the world and possibly the universe just like Worldender, the Vindicators who previously invited Rick and Morty decided “at Alan Rails insistence” not too. The result of this action caused 3 of the heroes to die as well as the Vindicators using the extreme measure of destroying the planet Dorian 5 along with its population to take the villain with it. The specific reason why they destroyed the planet revealed that Doomnometron was a shapeshifter who was also possibly immortal, save for a planetary core implosion or an event of similar magnitude. The Vindicators reason was sound save for Rick saying he could have easily whipped up a device to detect him from orbit with a snap of his fingers.
Humans[edit]
Mr. Lucius Needful (voiced by Alfred Molina) – A mysterious man who owns an antique store. The items he sells are all cursed, and subject the buyer to an ironic punishment. He is quickly revealed by Rick to be the devil, a fact which he doesn't bother to conceal afterward. He is a parody of Leland Gaunt from Stephen King's novel, Needful Things and Mr. Dark from “Something Wicked This Way Comes” (also by King). Rick starts a rival business uncursing his merchandise, which hurts his business and causes him to attempt suicide. Summer helps him retool his shop into an online store, and then he double-crosses her. Rick and Summer then take steroids in order to bulk up, then beat him up as revenge for him "Zuckerberging" Summer.
Paul Fleishman (voiced by Ryan Ridley) – A man that appeared in the episode Mortynight Run At Jerryboree. He comes from an alternate timeline, where Jerry and Beth divorced and Beth got remarried to him. "Paul Fleishman, infinite timelines, some of them Beth remarries."
Davin (voiced by Dan Harmon) – Beth's extremely handsome co-worker at the horse hospital. Jerry dislikes him intensely, as he sees him as a threat to his and Beth's sometimes shaky marriage. The original Jerry killed a mutated version of him in “Rick Potion No. 9”, but the other version from the replacement universe is supposedly alive despite being unseen.
Leonard and Joyce Smith (voiced by Dana Carvey and Patricia Lentz) – Jerry's parents. They have a cuckold relationship with Jacob. Leonard enjoys watching him and Joyce have sex while hiding in their bedroom closet, often while dressed as Superman.
Jacob (voiced by Echo Kellum) – Joyce's lover. He appears to be a pleasant and friendly individual, though Jerry is uncomfortable with his relationship to his parents.
Ruben (voiced by Jess Harnell) – A homeless man whose body contains "Anatomy Park", Rick's human body themed amusement park. He dies of tuberculosis with the miniaturized Anatomy Park crew, as well as Morty, still inside of him. In order to help them escape they have to escape out the left nipple, Then Rick grows Ruben's body to giant size and then blows it up.
Annie (voiced by Jackie Buscarino) – An employee at Anatomy Park who works at a churro stand. She and Morty are the only survivors of the disease outbreak in the park. She initially ignores Morty but is later seen making out with him while the two of them watch a movie. At the end of the episode, Rick shrinks her down to lead the construction of a new Anatomy Park after she tells him that she studied all of Dr. Bloom's notes. Though Morty is upset with Rick, Rick tells Morty that he dodged a bullet, as Annie has a condition called "puffy vagina".
Poncho (voiced by Gary Anthony Williams) – Dr. Bloom's bodyguard, who is responsible for the disease outbreak in Anatomy Park. He betrays Bloom as revenge for the horrible employee benefits he received, and is killed when the bubonic plague virus he is carrying turns on him and causes him to fall off of a high balcony.
Tammy Gueterman (voiced by Cassie Steele) – A deep cover Galactic Federation agent who poses as a classmate of Summer's in order to arrest Rick and his associates. She pretends to be in love with Birdperson and at her wedding to him, she murders him after revealing her true nature and sending in Galactic Federation troops to arrest Rick and his friends. In the first episode Season 3, she and the federation rebuild Bird Person into a Cyborg called Phoenix Person (though she originally wanted his name to be Cyber Bird). She is last seen flying off on Phoenix Person, presumably to get revenge on Rick for destroying the Federation economy.
Lucy (voiced by Alejandra Gollas) – A maid employed on the Titanic 2, an attraction inspired by the film Titanic. She initially comes across as a nice lady, but reveals her true colors when she forces Jerry at gunpoint to draw her nude and have sex with her in a car (both references to scenes from the Titanic film). Before the sex actually takes place, Jerry is rescued by Beth, who knocks Lucy unconscious. She later attempts to follow Beth and Jerry home by clinging to the underside of their car (as in Cape Fear), but is knocked off and run over by another vehicle. It is unknown if she survived.
The President (voiced by Keith David) – The unnamed President of the United States who, while being jovial and friendly when not on the job, eventually becomes a burden to Rick and Morty due to his frequent requests for their help in dealing with alien threats. After Rick and Morty inform him that they no longer wish to assist him, he begins acting like a spurned lover and repeatedly attempts to prove that he (and by extension the United States) had never really needed Rick and Morty. All of his technology proves inferior to Rick's however. This culminates in a battle between him and Rick after he refuses to take a selfie with Morty (something Morty repeatedly tries to tell Rick not to make a big deal of). The President yields and agrees to the selfie, but by this point Morty has left with Rick's portal gun, forcing him to use the President's inferior portal device to track them down. Rick avoids being branded a national threat by tricking the President into thinking that he switched universes with another Rick with an enthusiasm for fly fishing. He appears to be modeled after former President Barack Obama.
Nathan (voiced by Kurtwood Smith) – A general in the United States Army who does not like the idea that Rick has been tasked with dealing with the Cromulons, preferring instead to launch nuclear missiles at them. He betrays the President and tries to kill him, but is turned into a snake by Rick before he can.
Taddy Mason (voiced by Justin Roiland) – A man who runs a hotline service in which lonely people can call him and have conversations, allowing them to pretend to have a friend. Since becoming unemployed, Jerry has been a frequent caller to Mason, having racked up an excessively high phone bill which he attempts to manipulate Summer into helping him pay off. It is unknown if Taddy Mason is from an alternate universe or not.
Diane Sanchez (voiced by Kari Wahlgren) – Diane was possibly Rick's wife. She is seen in a flashback during the Season 3 premiere entering the garage with a young Beth. As Rick vows to give up science, they prepare to go for ice cream when Diane and Beth are killed by a bomb sent through a portal created by another Rick as revenge for the main Rick refusing to join the council. Rick then decides to become a scientist again to avenge his lost family. As this origin story is revealed to be a fabrication to trap a Galactic Federation agent, it is unknown if Diane is actually still alive, or if she even existed at all.
The Death Stalkers – a group of violent scavengers that live in an alternate dimension suspiciously similar to that depicted in the Mad Max movies. Rick, Morty and Summer live with them for a short period of time in Rickmancing the Stone.
Jaguar (voiced by Danny Trejo) – A criminal who was incarcerated by a foreign government agency. The agency had initially intended to hold him prisoner until his natural death, but released him to assassinate Pickle Rick, offering the release of his daughter. During the fight, he and Pickle Rick realize that they have no reason to be enemies and Jaguar assists Pickle Rick in defeating the agency (who had already killed Jaguar's daughter and lied to him to get him to help them). During the post-credits scene of "Pickle Rick", Jaguar repays Rick by killing Concerto just as the piano-themed villain was about to kill Rick and Morty in his giant piano death trap.[6]
Logic (voiced by himself) – Logic makes a cameo appearance at the end of "Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender", having been hired by Rick to perform at his party. He sings a rap song about the Vindicators which mostly consists of lyrics about how underappreciated their janitor Noob Noob is. He eventually begins running out of lyrics and asks if he's getting paid.
