Rick Sanchez is one of the titular characters in Adult Swim's Rick and Morty. In the show, the audience is introduced to the idea of infinite realities. This essentially means that there are an infinite number of Earths, Ricks and Mortys, and everything else imaginable. The Rick we follow throughout the course of the show is the Rick from Earth C-137. He is a nihilistic, alcoholic, genius with almost no regard for life, with the capability of inventing and creating basically anything.
Rick is a tall, lanky old man of about 70 years. He has spiked blue-grey hair with a bald spot on the back of his head and a unibrow of the same color. Rick wears a white lab coat over his blue shirt with brown pants. There is a green dribble coming from his mouth after drinking or vomiting.
Rick C-137, the one we follow throughout a given episode's events, is one of the few Ricks in the multiverse that actually cares for his grandson and sidekick, Morty. Even if he hesitates to show any sign of love, affection, or appreciation of Morty, and is rather exploitative an demanding of him, he is very protective of Morty, and will do a lot in order to help his grandson.
In any given episode, Rick is going on a new adventure with his grandson, Morty, or his granddaughter, Summer, or even his son-in-law, Jerry. During the adventure, Rick uses his immense genius to get him and Morty out of the predicament they find themselves in. Whether that be being chased by a Freddy Kruger parody, or creating parallel dimensions from freezing time for too long, or escaping maximum security prison and destroying the Galactic Federation with the single push of a button.
One adventure of note is when the pair entered the "Microverse" Rick created to power his Space Cruiser in the season two episode, "The Ricks Must Be Crazy." In the episode, Ricks spaceship's battery died, so he and Morty enter the Microverse Rick created to power the ship. The people who called the micro-verse home previously used contraptions Rick made for them called "gooble boxes" to create energy. Morty criticizes Rick, saying that the concept of the Microverse "sounds like slavery with extra steps." Once leaving the ship, the leader of the Microverse takes the two to a scientist in the Microverse who created his own Miniverse to provide power for his world the same way Rick did with the Microverse. This made the gooble boxes obsolete, so the ship could no longer be powered by the microverse. Rick, Morty, and the Microverse scientist, Zeep, enter the miniverse, where Rick makes the same comment about Zeep's miniverse as Morty did about Rick's microverse. They are then led to the miniverse scientist, Kyle, who created his own version of the microverse and miniverse that he, himself, is a resident of, which he dubbed the teenyverse. The four then enter the teenyverse, where Rick and Zeep start fighting. During the fight, Kyle realizes that he is living in Zeep's miniverse, and Zeep lives in Rick's microverse, and this realization leads to Kyle committing suicide by flying into a mountainside. The three remaining beings then separate into two caves and continue fighting; Rick and Morty in one, and Zeep in the other. Morty eventually has enough and leaves to join the tree people. After developing some advanced combat technology, Rick and Zeep duke it out, until Morty and the tree people stop them, and lead them to the spirit tree. Morty tells Rick to get them out of the teenyverse. After one last fight, Rick and Morty re-enter their universe, where the battery is again working, as the residents of the Microverse are again using the gooble boxes.
As we see from this episode, Rick is very good at getting what he wants from people. No matter what he has to do. He was willing to destroy his ship's battery, destroying the microverse it used for power and all of the smaller universes inside it, if Zeep didn't make gooble boxes the primary power source for the Microverse. He would do so without any hint of hesitation, too. He has laid waste to dimensions abandoned them for new ones many times before.
In another episode, titled "Pickle Rick," he turns himself into a pickle "because he can." And also to get out of going to family therapy with Morty, Summer, and Beth. After falling off the table in the garage, falling down the sewer, killing a bunch of rats, making a rat suit, and coming up through the toilet in an unknown building, Rick kills everyone in a high security agency building because they wouldn't let him leave. When the agency director offered him 100 million dollars to leave him alive, Rick refuses and then blows him, and the rest of the building up. Rick has no morals or ethics when it comes to people who wronged him or his family.
