If you're seeing this, you're me, except, you know, less. But you acted like you were better, so I killed your beloved Diane. Partly to devastate, mostly so I only have to record one message. Some of you may have noticed that's it not just your Diane that's gone. She's also been erased from every universe across infinity. And you might be wonder why. Diane was wiped from all existence by The Weapon Too Cool For a Name. Known by inferiors as The Omega Device. And it's my weapon. But it's your fault I had to use it on her.
~ Rick Prime

Richard Daniel Sanchez, better known as Rick Prime, is the overarching antagonist of the adult-animated science-fiction series Rick and Morty.

He is the alternate version and arch-nemesis of Rick C-137 due to ruining the latter's entire life and family, by killing both His wife and daughter, kickstarting Rick to then invent the portal gun and go on a futile mission of revenge for decades, ultimately causing him to become the broken, depressed and destructive man he is today. He is eventually revealed to be the true grandfather of Morty Smith, as well as his family-in-law which would be later adopted by Rick C-137 after leaving them.

Like all of his other versions, he was voiced by the series co-creator Justin Roiland until season 6 and Ian Cardoni since season 7.

Actions and Characteristics[]

  • He is the most influential villain as he is responsible for creating the portal gun and single-handedly being responsible for all of Rick C-137's trauma, which would lead him to become the villain he is and causing the Citadel to form which oppressed other Ricks who were not conjoined and abused Morties, leading to the rise of the main antagonist Evil Morty.
  • He is the most powerful and intelligent character, even more so than Rick C-137 (who is coined the smartest man in the universe), given how he was able to invent the Portal Gun formula (with C-137 being the only to follow suit) as well as manipulate countless Ricks while remaining an untraceable karma Houdini for decades via his decoys.
  • He is easily the most heinous character given his history of abandoning his family, murdering infinite versions of his wife with the Omega Device just to turn those Ricks into psychopaths, forcing devastated Rick’s into death arenas with false promises of reviving their dead wives, murdering infinite versions of his Uncle Slow Mobius and attempting to do the same with the rest of Rick's family. Overall, with having 2 infinite kill counts and 4 attempted infinite kill counts he easily stands out as the worst among other villains, even Rick C-137 himself.
  • He is the most irredeemably evil character and has almost no legitimate redeeming qualities other than being saddened from killing Slow Mobius (which is extremely minor as he proceeds to kill him anyways to taunt Rick.)
  • While having multiple laughably evil moments, they are overall brief, and he is taken dead seriously in-universe as one of the most serious antagonists in the show, akin to Evil Morty or King Jellybean.

  • Due to killing infinite versions of Diane Sanchez and Slow Mobius, Rick Prime arguably has the highest kill count among all The Ultimate Evils, and possibly in all fiction.
