| − | A lunatic researcher whose exploits power the plot of the series. He frequently coerces Morty into joining him on his numerous misadventures, which has caused tension between the pair before. He is constantly inventing new technologies straight from the world of soft science-fiction, such as a portal gun and intelligence devices. Although a widely celebrated genius, his caustic personality and disregard for authority has left him with more than a few detractors. He has spiky blue hair, a unibrow that is also blue, and wears a white lab coat, a blue undershirt, green trousers and black sneakers (paired with white socks). He uses the drug alcohol fairly frequently, which does no wonders for his hygiene, as he frequently drools and belches. Rick is the father of Beth, the son-in-law of Jerry, and the grandfather of Morty and Summer.<ref>https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty</ref> | + | A lunatic researcher whose exploits power the plot of the series.
