[[folder:Space Beth]]
!!"Space Beth"
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SarahChalke
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clone_beth.png]]

A version of Beth who seemingly took Rick's offer in [[Recap/RickAndMortyS3E9TheABCsOfBeth "The ABC's of Beth"]] to leave her family behind to travel the cosmos on her own. Despite being called "Clone Beth" by ''VideoGame/PocketMortys'', it's never revealed whether she's a clone or the original Beth, with behind-the-scenes material calling her "Space Beth".

* ActionGirl: While Beth was always badass, she usually reserved displaying it for emergencies only. Space Beth spends much of her new life fighting and has upgraded herself accordingly.
* AmbiguousCloneEnding: {{Invoked|Trope}}. Rick continuously flip-flops on whether she or Earth Beth is the clone, repeatedly claiming to both that they're the real one and the other is the fake. When he watches the Mind Blower at the end, it reveals that Rick randomly swapped the two around and looked away to make sure he himself wouldn't know which is which. The promotion for ''Pocket Mortys'' names her as "Clone Beth" but nobody in the show knows or cares about who is the real Beth. By Season 5, everyone just calls her "Space Beth".
* AmicableExes: Since this version of Beth never reconciled with Jerry, as she left her whole family behind to go on space adventures, she is this with him (despite Jerry expressing happiness that he now has "two wives", since it's pretty clear that this Beth doesn't want to get back with him). She is incredulous that Earth Beth decided to take him back and mocks their relationship once or twice, but when Rick points out that Earth Beth is indeed the same person like her and still decided to get back together with Jerry, Space Beth has no response, implying that she still has unresolved feelings for him of some kind.
** She also, despite considering herself divorced from Jerry, still keeps her married name. After Jerry manages to distract Phoenix Person long enough for Space Beth to deactivate him, she admits with a smile that he "has his moments", and at least doesn't seem to mind being in his presence.
** Zig-Zagged by "Bethic Twinstinct", it's implied that she joins Earth Beth in a threesome with Jerry when the two Beths fall in love, culminating in a polyamorous relationship. Considering that all three continue to be on good terms afterwards (such as "Unmortricken" showing the three of them playfully goofing off together), it's possible that this has continued.
* AntiHero: A version of Beth who fully embraced her dark side and has become a somewhat SociopathicHero with many similarities to Rick, but she's nonetheless on the side of good, fighting against the tyrannical Galactic Federation.
* TheAntiNihilist: When Rick states that she's currently in a "hero phase" that she'll outgrow, Beth denies it, insisting that, unlike him, she's "never going to stop giving a shit". This is something she shares with her Earth counterpart (even if their respective versions of "giving a shit" manifest in very different ways).
* BackToBackBadasses: Space Beth and Earth Beth work together to fight off waves of Galactic Federation soldiers.
* BrokenBird: Even moreso than Earth Beth, who admires her for it.
-->'''Earth Beth:''' Wow, jaded and hot.
* ButchLesbian: Well, "Butch Bisexual" since she might have been married to Jerry. She is the more "masculine" of the two Beths and becomes the more assertive of the two when she and Earth Beth have an affair.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Spends essentially her entire focus episode doing this to Rick after she finds a (possible) explosive device in her neck that he implanted. She first comes back to Earth to kill him, then to find out the truth of whether or not she's a clone. In the end, Space Beth, along with Earth Beth, both call Rick out for being such a shitty father that he deleted the memory of which one of them is the original and which is the clone. Both decide they don't need to know since they're happy with their lives the way they are and neither consider his involvement in them important anymore. Space Beth even throws a fake punch at Rick, making him flinch, and she and Earth Beth walk away laughing.
* CrazyPrepared: Due to her technological upgrades, she's become exactly like Rick in this regard. She has the ability to phase in and out of matter has Franchise/{{Pokemon}} style creatures to fight against Rick's, can disable his forcefields, and has the ability to change her voice to imitate anyone she wants.
* {{Cyborg}}: The start of the episode shows exposed circuitry in her arm, and she seems to have a switch in her forehead that gives her {{Intangibility}} and SuperSpeed when she presses against it.
* DistaffCounterpart: For her father, who Earth Beth even mocks for dressing like he did back in his thirties.
* DuplicateDivergence: When Beth asked Rick to decide whether or not he wanted her in his life, he realized that he basically couldn't handle the decision emotionally, made a clone of her and sent one of them (nobody knows which one, not even Rick) into space and had one stay on Earth so he wouldn't have to actually make a conscious choice. What started as the two of them being the same person with all the same memories who made one major, opposite decision from each other has resulted in each of them becoming quite different in many ways:
** This Beth TookALevelInBadass as she's become a rebel leader who frequently gets into physical fights, and has become a {{Cyborg}} with all sorts of cybernetic enhancements like Rick's, while the Beth who stayed on Earth, though still badass, is physically a normal human. This Beth has also changed her appearance: she keeps one side of her head shaved, has a blue streak in her hair, and has replaced her usual outfit with fancy decked-out space gear.
** From Space Beth's perspective, Rick essentially told her she should leave and replaced her, rather than telling her he wanted her to stay and be part of his life. As such, she's far less attached to him and cares less at this point about his approval than Earth Beth (that is, until the end of "Star Mort: Rickturn of the Jerri", at which point they both don't care). She even tries to kill him when she thinks he put a bomb in her neck, then tries again when he gives a FreudianSlip suggesting he might see her supposed clone as the "real" Beth instead of her.
** On a related note, since she left her family behind for the sake of her own fulfillment, this Beth is decidedly less attached to the rest of them as well. She does still care about Morty and Summer and still considers them her kids--she's willing to allow Morty to drive her spaceship and brings them back various gifts from her adventures (such as "space cigarettes" and foreign gaming consoles) as souvenirs--but does seem fine with having a much smaller role in their lives now, and admits at the beginning of "Star Mort: Rickturn of the Jerri" that, since another version of her is taking care of parenting them for her, she doesn't feel the need to miss them while she's away. She does start visiting more in Season 6 onwards, but has no desire to stay for long periods of time and acts more like a CoolAunt to her kids.
** This Beth left while she and Jerry were still separated and planning on divorcing (if they hadn't finalized it already) without ever reconciling with him, so while she does admit that he "has his moments" and seems to be AmicableExes with him, she doesn't want him back at all and seems irritated that Earth Beth reconciled with him. She becomes more accepting of it, but still has the disdain, disrespect, and somewhat vitriolic relationship with him that Beth did in the early seasons.
** Since Space Beth is a version of Beth who embraced her darker side instead of working to improve from it, she has more of her father's negative qualities than Earth Beth does; she's boastful of her accomplishments to the point that she gets into a passive-aggressive competition with Rick about them, and seems to still be TheAlcoholic. She's also much quicker to resort to violence; she kills a Gromflomite despite originally intending to spare him when he annoys her by not remembering her name, is quick to try to murder Rick twice and uses Earth Beth as a hostage at one point, threatening to blow her brains out. Later, she also expresses little regard for Jerry's or the rest of her family's feelings about how her affair with Earth Beth is affecting the rest of them.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Not exactly happy about the Federation's opinion of her name, as seen when she shoots soldier in the head for rambling on about how plain it sounds to him.
* EasilyForgiven:
** None of the family are particularly angry that she effectively abandoned them, with Earth Beth being the exception. Morty expressed that he would forgive as long as he could ride in her ship.
** By the end of "Bethic Twinstinct", Jerry quickly forgives her for having had an affair with the other Beth. {{Justified|Trope}} since [[GirlOnGirlIsHot he didn't really have any problem with them getting together to begin with,]] only with the fact he wasn't kept in the loop, and the Beths discover they like him in their loop.
* ExplosiveLeash: She has a device pulled from her neck which she assumes is a bomb. Rick denies this, claiming it was meant to transfer memories between her and Earth Beth, who has a similar device. He confirms that it would also disintegrate the clone, meaning it still is a bomb, just with more than one use.
* {{Expy}}: A blonde heroine who fights evil outside of Earth in outer Space and more importantly, saves Rick and Morty in "Solaricks" [[ShoutOut exactly in the style of Iron Man's rescue in]] 'Film/AvengersEndgame'', making her one of [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Captain Marvel]].
* FireForgedFriends: She and Earth Beth initially don't get along at all and argue over the choices that they made, but they eventually find mutual ground in their hatred for Rick and work together, blasting their way through the Galactic Federation's ship while joking with each other.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: While Earth Beth has spent season 4 focusing on raising her kids and improving relationships with her family, Space Beth has been waging war against the Galactic Federation, starting a resistance movement and becoming their most wanted criminal in the process.
* HonoraryAunt: Despite a few bumps, the Smith family eventually comes to see her as family and don't really care if she is the true Beth or the clone. Rick is the only one who does and that is because of his realization that he himself doesn't actually know.
* JerkassBall: While she is usually at least friendly to Jerry, this isn't the case in "Bethic Twinstinct", where she actively wants Home Beth to leave him and talks down to him for pretty much the entire episode.
* LikeParentLikeChild: Just like Rick did back in the day, Space Beth has been waging a war against the Galactic Federation. She wants to save the galaxy from them and Rick explicitly calls it a "hero phase" like he used to have. Her crew even has a member that's a female member of Squanchy's species. Space Beth has also outfitted herself with cybernetics like Rick and has become CrazyPrepared enough that she can keep up with him in a fight.
* TheMaidenNameDebate: A divorce variation; despite considering herself at least permanently separated if not outright divorced from Jerry, she still goes by her married name of "Beth Smith" rather than "Beth Sanchez", her maiden name. It's not known whether this is just because she's grown used to the name, or if it's to distance herself from her also-infamous father so that the notoriety she gains is based on her own merits and not her relationship with him.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: When she returns to Earth to kill Rick for implanting an explosive device in her neck, she unintentionally leads the Galactic Federation to Earth too.
* NonIndicativeName: Referred to as "Clone Beth" out of convenience in ''VideoGame/PocketMortys'' despite "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri" making it clear that it's impossible to tell which Beth is the real one. In a behind-the-scenes video, Dan Harmon refers to her as Space Beth.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Gets hit with one from Rick when she questions Home Beth having gotten together with Jerry. Rick points out that she is the same person as Home Beth, and as [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther such should also blame herself for getting back with him.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: Whether or not she's the original Beth, she still has all of the original Beth's memories and did abandon her kids to go off and have adventures with no visible regrets. She didn't leap heroism until later, but her kids are relatively cool with it since now they have two badass moms, making it a win-win situation for them. The knowledge of infinite realities with infinite versions of their parents probably makes cloning not that big a deal in their eyes.
* {{Patricide}}: Originally comes back to Earth to kill Rick after she finds out he put a possible explosive device in her neck. Then tries again when he slips up and reveals she may not be the original Beth. However, by the end of the episode, it's made clear that ''Rick himself'' [[TheUnreveal doesn't know if Space Beth is the clone or not]].
* RebelLeader: Space Beth has spent the time since the end of season 3 acting as the leader of a resistance movement called the Defiance, which fights against the tyranny of the Galactic Federation. Rick thinks it's just a "hero phase" like the one he went through and criticizes her for going a little "Franchise/{{Star Wars}}y".
* RuggedScar: She has one across her right eye.
* ShoutOut: She has a [[DelinquentHair blue streak in her hair]], possibly referencing Darkest Timeline Britta from another Dan Harmon show, ''Series/{{Community}}''.
* SiblingTeam: She and Earth Beth become this in the season 4 finale. They're not actually sisters, but since one is a genetic copy of the other, they might as well be twins, and after initially bickering they become sisterly by the end of the episode.
-->'''Rick:''' ''[seeing Space Beth about to shoot Earth Beth]'' Okay, I know this is bad parenting, but if you stop fighting, I'll take you both to [=McDonald's=].
* SmashSisters: Well, smash ''clones'' actually; while they are openly antagonistic at first, both Beths eventually team up and demonstrate very effective teamwork.
* SociopathicHero: She still has a bit of a sociopath streak leftover from "The ABC's of Beth", but she's been spending a lot of time-fighting against the Galactic Federation.
* SpecialPersonNormalName: She's a notorious enemy of the Federation, but they can't help but find her name to be utterly plain.
* StrawFeminist: She has shades of this, especially in scenes where she uses female empowerment as an excuse for her more unsavory actions. Jerry of all people calls her out on this when she calls him entitled for being upset at not being included in her and Beth's affair.
-->'''Jerry:''' It's not ''Handmaid's Tale'' to loop in your husband.
* TomatoInTheMirror: She starts off believing she's the original Beth, only to return to Earth after finding evidence that she might be a clone. By the end of the episode, she and her doppelgänger have decided it doesn't matter which is the original and which is the clone since she and Earth Beth are fine with their lives as they are. Then the audience and Rick, but no one else, find out Rick intentionally made it impossible to know which is which.
* TomTheDarkLord: Her actual name, "Beth Smith" is seen as an incredibly boring name by a Gromflomite. She responds to this by killing him.
* TookALevelInBadass: Whether she's the original Beth or the clone, she's still a tremendous badass, beating Rick as the Galactic Federation's most wanted. She's the leader of a resistance movement called the Defiance and has implanted enough technological upgrades within herself that she's able to act as a one-woman army and even incapacitate Rick, though he was going easy on her.
* WalkingSpoiler: There's a reason she's listed as "Spoiler Character" here. Her mere existence spoils that Beth was cloned at the end of "The ABC's of Beth", which the audience doesn't find out until over a full season later. A further spoiler comes from the end of her premiere episode where it's revealed Rick intentionally made it impossible to know which Beth is the original and which is the clone.
* WeaknessTurnsHerOn: Much more prominent than with Earth Beth. Not only is it her approach to Earth Beth when they start an affair, it's also what leads to the ambiguously polyamorous relationship between Earth Beth, Space Beth, and Jerry by the end of "Bethic Twinstinct". It seems she gets truly turned on by Jerry's submissiveness.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite seemingly staying with the family at the end of Season 4, she's absent from the Season 5 premiere "Mort Dinner Rick Andre". However she makes a brief appearance near the end of Mortyplicity. Then in the Season 6 premiere, she mentions that she spends most of her time "saving the galaxy", but after Summer convinces her to stick around to help with the family's current crisis, she ends up bonding and decides to come around more often, like for Thanksgiving in episode 3 and the zoo trip in episode 5.

[[folder:Beth Sanchez C-137 ('''Unmarked Spoilers''')]]
!!Beth Sanchez "C-137"
!!!Voiced By: N/A
[[quoteright:227:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2022_10_16_004937.png]]

Our Rick's original daughter. Originally seemed to be fabricated in order to fool the Galactic Federation, "Rickmurai Jack" reveals her to completely real, and her death alongside her mother's is the real driving factor to all of Rick's antics.

* CheerfulChild: In her brief appearance, Beth seemed to be a cheerful child before her father's meeting with Rick Prime.
* DaddysGirl: Rick loved her dearly, and her death completely broke him.
* DeathOfAChild: She's one of the characters who died in the show.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Is first shown in the memory segment in "Rickshank Redemption".
* MoralityPet: Rick abandoned his MadScientist antics for his family. Rick Prime soon puts a stop on it.
* RealAfterAll: "Rickmurai Jack" confirms that the memory of her was absolutely real, instead of being fabricated as Rick claimed to say in "The Rickshank Redemption".
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Is only shown in two scenes in 2 separate episodes and with no lines, but Rick originally abandoned exploring the Multiverse for her and her mother, due to which Rick Prime was infuriated and tried to kill Rick. Beth was killed alongside her mother, which propelled Rick into a spiral of self-hatred and madness, eventually leading to the show and the Rick we know.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's difficult to talk about Beth C-137 without mentioning her death and its impact on Rick.

!!Jerry Variants
[[folder:Jerry Smith Prime - '''Spoiler Character''']]
!!Jerry Smith Prime
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChrisParnell
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_7139_208571555_1662397323330.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Your mom and sister '''[[spoiler:died]]''', Morty! And I moved on. From caring. And that is the best deal you will ever get. So ''take it.'']]

The original Jerry from Morty's home dimension and his dad for the first six episodes. Morty catches up with him in "Solaricks", discovering that he's the last human on that earth after his [[spoiler:Beth and Summer died.]]
----

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Functions as this to both Rick C-137 and Evil Morty, both of whom had been portrayed as unstoppable badasses yet repeatedly get fooled or bested by Rick Prime's traps or schemes. Only by working together with the main Morty were they finally able to take him down.
* ArchEnemy: Is this to our Rick Sanchez (Sorry, Mr. Nimbus) who spent literal decades trying to hunt down the man after he killed his wife and daughter. Whereas Rick tends to treat most of his foes with either apathy or mockery, when they come face to face Rick gets deadly serious and tries to kill him straightaway with everything he got. In the Season 6 Finale, Rick Sanchez goes back to trying to hunt him down whom he calls his nemesis and brings Morty in on it.
* AttentionWhore: As a {{Troll}} who delights in animosity. He leaves messages that constantly mocks the other Ricks as "inferior versions" of himself, and shows sadistic enjoyment in psychologically torturing/killing multiple Ricks who try to find and kill him. His last moments are relishing the fact that Main Rick prioritized killing him over stopping Evil Morty from getting the Omega Weapon, risking the existence of Rick Sanchez across the multiverse as a result.

* AxCrazy: As someone that represents the worst qualities of Rick, it should come as no surprise Rick Prime is this. Although he never visibly loses it, his [[EvilIsPetty petty nature]], {{Troll}} moments, and [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] tendencies shows that he's borderline insane. Two big examples of this are him literally [[{{Retcon}} erasing his wife from existence in every single dimension]] just to spite Rick and him making C-137 Rick[[note]]along with Morty and Evil Morty[[/note]] and a bunch of other Ricks fight to the death for a chance to reunite with Diane, only to then release a giant murder bot with her face on it, and then when that's defeated he reveals that the entire arena itself was a death trap the whole time, which slowly releases columns of fire until the entire place is covered in flames, giving the winner a few moments before they're incinerated to death.

** So far he seems more confused and bemused about why Main Rick is after him. It certainly seems like he doesn't care or even remember what happened, whereas Main Rick has spent ''decades'' hunting him, leaving a huge body count and countless destroyed universes. In season 7 it's revealed he does know about Main Rick's vendetta against him and has a small amount of [[VillainRespect respect]] for him being the only other Rick to figure out portal travel on his own. The catch is that he went one step further and erased ''every iteration'' of Diane from the multiverse, ensuring multiple Rick variants are hunting him for killing their wife, so it's a little hard for him to keep track of them all.

* CessationOfExistence: His Omega Device is an absurdly destructive example, wiping out every version of a person across infinite parallel universes.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Evil Morty. Evil Morty was Morty's ShadowArchetype, being what he'd become if his dynamic with Rick had remained the same in spite of his CharacterDevelopment. He was an AntiVillain who was DrivenToVillainy by Rick's narcissistic and sociopathic tendencies and whose goal was to break the status quo. Rick Prime is Rick's ShadowArchetype being what Rick would become if he got his wish of defying CharacterDevelopment and fully embracing his narcissistic and sociopathic tendencies to their fullest extent and whose number one goal is ensuring every Rick is as bad as he is, and proving his own superiority.
* CrazyPrepared: He has a contingency plan for everything and anything that any Rick can throw at him. Unfortunately for him, this did not apply to (what he believed to be) his original Morty.
* DarkReprise: Rick Prime puts his prisoners through elaborate ''Saw''-style gauntlets just like Rick did to the Vindicators.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Even when Rick is literally beating him to death, Rick Prime just mocks him by saying Rick's just like him and if Rick had discovered interdimensional travel first, it could just as easily be him who would go on to murder Rick Prime's Diane. He also mocks Rick for dedicating his life to vengeance so much that killing him will leave Rick with nothing left to live for. Following Rick Prime's death, Rick realizes [[VengeanceFeelsEmpty his vengeance changed nothing.]]

* DieLaughing: He never stops laughing as Rick beats him to death, reducing his skull to a bloody, pulpy mass.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Rick Prime's hyped up as Main Rick's nemesis but despite the crucial role he played in turning Main Rick into the man he is in the present and season seven being hyped as Main Rick hunting him down, Rick beats Rick Prime to death at the end of episode 5 of season 7, Rick's vengeance only leaving him feeling empty.

* EvilDoppelganger: He serves as this to Rick, as an evil(er) version who truly does not care about his family at all and is only interested in doing whatever he wants. Rick even sourly compares him to his own "don't give a shit" attitude from earlier seasons - though unlike Rick C-137, Rick Prime ''genuinely'' does not care about anything but himself.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Despite being evil to the core, he's still capable of being polite. Sometimes, it's hard to see if he's genuinely AffablyEvil or pretending to be:

* GreaterScopeVillain: He killed Rick's wife and daughter, setting that Rick on the hunt for revenge which led to him killing several alternate Ricks. Rick's grief and failure to find this Rick caused his downward spiral into the Rick we know today. Oh and these killings led to a bunch of other Ricks being sent out to kill him, which ultimately ended in Main Rick destroying the proto-Citadel. Rick was only able to get the other Ricks off his back by forming a truce with the Ricks that would eventually form the Council of Ricks and helped them design and build the new Citadel (or more accurately, the Citadel seen in "Close Rick-Counters Of The Rick Kind" and "The Rickshank Redemption").

%%* HateSink: With what limited screentime he has he is the most hatable Rick... which is saying a lot. He's revealed to be the Rick that callously abandoned his version of Beth, allowing [Main] Rick to step in and replace him as an infinitely-better father figure, despite his massive character flaws, and later outright says he 'never got too close to the concept' of a happily family life, apparently without any regrets for how he treated his daughter. [Main] Rick even says that Rick Prime ''truly'' [[LackOfEmpathy does not give a shit]], and has moved on from the Smith-Sanchez so thoroughly that not even taking [Main] Morty (his dimensional grandson) as a hostage would have an impact on him.

* TheHedonist: Rick Prime doesn't have some ultimate master plan. He's just like the vast majority of Ricks, in that he sees the multiverse as a gigantic party where he can go and do whatever he wants and be free of the consequences of his actions. He's little more than a PsychopathicManchild whose only goal is constant stimulation and personal [[ItAmusedMe amusement]].

* ItsAllAboutMe: Although most versions of Rick have varying degrees of this, but Rick Prime takes this up a notch and crosses it with TheHedonist. Rick Prime is so self-centered that he truly doesn't give a shit for anyone else aside from himself.
* IWorkAlone: Another of his distinguishing characteristics, as of yet explored, is his lack of a Morty. So far, ''every'' Rick on the show that isn't living and working permanently on the Citadel and goes on adventures always wants one. The Citadel was even revealed as a Morty making facility to provide endless sidekicks/brain shields/cannon fodder for Ricks. When he abandoned his original reality, he left Morty behind with Beth, Jerry and Summer, something not even Main Rick would do. Rick Prime on the other hand, is seemingly content to do everything on his own. Ironically, this trope is one of the only things Rick Prime shares with Evil Morty.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: He kills his counterpart's Diane and Beth, ruins Rick's life, and never faces any comeuppance. The fact that he couldn't find him led Rick into a depression, but in "Unmortricken", however, he finally gets beaten to death by Rick.

* KinslayingIsASpecialKindOfEvil: His murdering the alternate versions of his wife and daughter, which while possibly unintentional he has no remorse over, lacks any of the shows usual BlackComedy and establishes him as the nastiest version of Rick thus far which given what Rick pulls is really saying something. It's revealed he used a machine that literally wipes every single version of a particular person out of existence across dimensions to kill ''every'' Diane. He then attempts to do it with every single member of his own family just to hurt Rick.

!!Other Versions

* BigBad: The entire series has subtly set him up as the main villain of the franchise. {{Arc Villain}}s Evil Morty and Tammy have come and gone, but season 6 starts with a reveal that Rick Prime is the one who killed Rick's family, which set him down a path of revenge that ultimately resulted in the creation of the Citadel of Ricks and everything that transpired after it, including Evil Morty.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Despite being evil to the core, he's still capable of being unfailingly polite. Sometimes, it's hard to see if he's genuinely AffablyEvil or pretending to be:

* AxCrazy: As someone that represents the worst qualities of Rick, it should come as no surprise Rick Prime is this. Although he never visibly loses it, his [[EvilIsPetty petty nature]] and {{Troll}} tendencies are borderline psychotic. Two examples of this are him literally [[{{Retcon}} erasing his wife from existence in every single dimension]] just to spite Rick and him making Rick[[note]]and Morty and Evil Morty[[/note]] fight to the death for a chance to reunite with Diane, only to then release a giant murder bot with her face on it, and then when that's defeated he reveals that the arena the whole time was a death trap which slowly releases columns of fire until the entire place is covered in flames, incinerating the winner.
