Rick And Morty: 6 Key Things We Know About Rick Sanchez's Past

What we know about the mysterious mad scientist.

Rick Sanchez was born as a drunken, psychotic parody of Dr. Emmett Brown from Back To The Future , but over the course of seven excellent seasons of Rick And Morty (available to stream with a Max subscription ), he has become a far more complex character. He’s a god-level genius who can create any product his vast imagination conceives, and he holds an understanding of the universe that nobody else can even partially grasp… but that understanding has also crippled him emotionally and poisons every relationship he has. 

Both because of his intelligence and deep issues, Rick is someone who can be described as being closed-off… but that being said, fans have learned some fascinating things about his backstory over the years. So who is Rick Sanchez, and how did he become the person we meet in the first episode of Rick & Morty ? 

We’ve put this feature together in an attempt to help answer that question and highlight key events that have been revealed about his past. Despite this conversation being about a comedy show, we’ll end up going to some pretty dark places, but before we go there, let’s start on a lighter note.

Rick Sanchez House in Rick And Morty

Rick Used To Live In A House That Looks Exactly Like The Whites' House From Breaking Bad

In the Season 3 premiere "The Rickshank Rickdemption," certain revealed information about Rick Sanchez’s life is embellished or falsified, but it turns out that one weird-but-true detail in the episode is the look of the house where Rick raised his family. Fans of Breaking Bad will note that the Sanchez home in the animated show is modeled on the house where Walter White and his wife and kids reside for the majority of the beloved AMC series (one of Rick And Morty ’s many excellent subtle and inside jokes ). 

It’s an odd thing, but viewers will find that the architectural design introduced in Season 3 remains consistent in the Season 5 finale "Rickmurai Jack, " which is where Morty finally learns concrete facts about his grandfather’s life (with viewers getting an education as well).

Diane and Beth about to die in Rick And Morty

Rick Was Married To A Woman Named Diane, Who Was Murdered Along With His Daughter By Rick Prime

Rick was always smart and a clever inventor, but he wasn’t always the hollowed-out cynic whom audiences have gotten to know since the Rick and Morty pilot. At one point, he was a content family man living in Dimension C-137 with a wife named Diane, and it was with her that he had his daughter, Beth. While out in his garage one day trying to invent a portal gun, he was approached by an evil version of himself who would eventually be known as Rick Prime. The stranger told him about interdimensional travel and invited him to explore infinity, but Rick turned him down.

In a petty act of vengeance for the refusal, Rick Prime later drops a bomb through a portal into the garage, and though Rick is saved because he's sitting in his car, Diane and Beth are both murdered. Rick spirals into a depression, but he digs himself out of it by finding purpose.

Rick Prime target in Rick And Morty

It Was Because Of Rick’s Family Being Murdered That He Invented Portal Technology And Spent Years Trying To Get Revenge

Contradicting what’s shown in "The Rickshank Rickdemption," "Rickmurai Jack" reveals that Rick didn’t instantly invent interdimensional travel after Diane and Beth died, but that event is what eventually motivated him to reach his breakthrough. His one mission in life became finding and killing Rick Prime, and the first step in the chase was finding a way to make his portal gun work.

After he left Dimension C-137, Rick began his hunt around the multiverse. He desperately searched for Rick Prime (with help of a photo created with the scan of his own memory), and while he found and killed many alternate versions of himself, he consistently failed to track down his actual target.

Rick and Birdperson ready to fight in Rick And Morty

Rick Was Part Of An Intergalactic Rebellion Alongside Birdperson And Squanchy

It was amid Rick’s hunt for vengeance that he got the attention of the Galactic Federation – and not in a good way. Though Rick is in no way what one would describe as a “joiner,” his hate of authority figures and contempt for anyone trying to prevent him from doing what he wants led him to become part of the intergalactic rebellion. In this endeavor, he is joined by two of the only people in his life to whom he gets particularly close.

As revealed in Season 5’s "Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort," Rick met Birdperson at a music festival where he was dealing drugs, and they formed a band with Birdperson’s friend Squanchy on drums. Birdperson helped Rick on his vengeance mission, and the three pals had a lot of fun together, but they also fought side-by-side in battle, and it was in part because of their efforts that the rebels won a decisive victory at the Battle Of Blood Ridge. When the fighting stopped, Rick invited Birdperson to travel with him across realities, but it was an offer that his friend refused.

Rick and Council Of Ricks in Rick And Morty

Rick Helped Create The Citadel Of Ricks Before Abandoning It

Crippled by loneliness and in a constant state of depression and intoxication, Rick focused his entire life on finding Rick Prime, and it essentially ignited a war between the Rick And Morty protagonist and every other Rick across the multiverse. Rick of Dimension C-137 was able to annihilate all would-be assassins and even went as far as to firebomb an assembly of Ricks organizing an offensive against him. Eventually there was a surrender and peace talks.

Rick negotiated with the Council of Ricks until it was agreed that they would create the Citadel Of Ricks (which we first got to see in Season 1’s "Close Rick-Counters Of The Rick Kind"). Once this peace was created, Rick decided that he wanted no active part in it – again, he’s not a joiner – and he left.

Beth in Rick And Morty

After Years Of Fighting, Rick Moved To Rick Prime’s Universe Be With That Universe’s Version Of His Family And Await Rick Prime

With his rebellion days behind him and the existing detente with all other Ricks, Rick decided to take a different strategy in his hunt for Rick Prime: the passive approach. It’s revealed in "Solaricks" (the Season 6 premiere) that Rick traveled to the Prime universe to wait for Rick Prime to return so that he could then murder him. 

The eponymous Morty in Rick And Morty is Morty Prime, and it was the Prime versions of Beth, Jerry, and Summer who were introduced in the show’s pilot. That universe was eventually Cronenberged (see: Season 1’s "Rick Potion #9"), and all of the versions of the principal characters with the exception of Morty are now dead. (Womp, womp.)

Season 7 concluded in December 2023, and while we don’t yet know when we are going to see the premiere of Rick and Morty Season 8 , it’s in the works and on the way to a likely 2025 release . After that, there are still two more guaranteed runs of the hit Adult Swim show thanks to the 70-episode deal that was signed back in May 2018. Stay tuned here on CinemaBlend for more news and updates about the series as well as more in-depth analysis of its wonderful characters.

Brain-melting 'Rick and Morty' theory explains how the multiverse was born

It also answers one of the biggest questions about Rick's origin story.

interdimensional travel rick and morty

Since Rick and Morty ’s beginning back in 2013, its growing fan base has longed to know Rick Sanchez’s origin story. Our yearning to know what happened to his wife and how he created interdimensional travel culminated in the Adult Swim show creators trolling fans with a fakeout story in the Season 3 premiere , but one Redditor may have landed on the best possible explanation in a new theory.

U/snakeravencat posted to the r/FanTheories subreddit Sunday with a theory dubbed “Rick: Creator of Worlds.” They reference an important line from the Season 2 finale “The Wedding Squanchers” where Rick turns himself in to the Galactic Federation to save his family. He’s put into prison, and when asked what crimes he’s in for, says in a sad voice, “Everything.”

“What if this isn’t the offhanded dismissal, but rather a summary?” the theorist writes. “What if he actually feels responsible for EVERYTHING because he started it?”

In other words: Rick may have created the multiverse he spends so much time traversing as a way to bring back his dead wife, but he only became a nihilist and alcoholic once he realizes his efforts were fruitless. In that sense, he’s responsible for pretty much everything that happens in the multiverse

Imagine a scene like the one presented in the Season 3 premiere, “The Rickshank Rickdemption,” where Rick fabricates a fake origin story to dupe the Galactic Federation. They want him to reveal the secret to interdimensional travel, so he creates a fake memory about someone planting a bomb that kills his wife Diane and Beth as a little girl. That enraged Rick then creates his first portal gun, and the Galactic Federation uploads a fake code from the memory that gives the real Rick full access to their computer systems.

On one hand, the scene felt like a cunning troll aimed at fans constantly drumming up theories about Rick’s real origins, but this subversive fakeout also feels like an obvious blueprint for what probably happened in Rick’s actual past.

Rather than interdimensional travel, the first thing most mad scientists in science fiction try to revive a dead loved one is time travel. In theory, Rick may have tried to harness the same technology he’d eventually use for his car’s microverse battery to distort time:

“He starts with modified temporal fields, hoping to change the direction of time on a local scale,” the theory continues. “No such luck, he can only slow or stop time’s flow. So, he wonders: ‘What if I could stack the fields inside each other?’ So, he posits that use of a spatially tesselated void would allow him to place multiple fields in a single place. That’s where it all went wrong/right.”

the ricks must be crazy miniverse

Someone within the universe Rick created created their own battery universe.

In Season 2’s “The Ricks Must Be Crazy,” Rick reveals that he created a unique multiverse inside his battery when he “put a spatially tessellated void inside a modified temporal field until a planet developed life.” In theory, if he applied the same technology to his current reality without containing it in any way, the redditor posits that “without any bounding, the effect grows, exaggerates, and shatters reality into an infinite number of possibilities.”

Therein lies the frightening possibility: Rick created the multiverse when he was messing around with time travel as a means to bring his dead wife back, but because Diane Sanchez’s death is what Doctor Who might refer to as a “fixed point in time,” there was no way to undo it. Instead, Rick wound up shattering reality into an infinite number of universes where her death was the one constant.

Among many things — like why Rick shelved all of his “Time Travel Stuff” for so long and how he knows about the time police before the Season 2 premiere — this would explain Rick’s depression and alcoholism. We’re led to believe he thinks existence is meaningless because the universe is infinite, but perhaps he’s so nihilistic because he knows the one true limit of the multiverse.

Rick often talks about how everyone in his family is expendable because there’s an infinite number of alternatives out there. If it’s so easy to replace family members (like he’s said time and again), then why wouldn’t he just find another version of his wife out there in the multiverse?

Mathematically speaking, she has to exist … unless there’s some hard rule establishing that she can’t. Maybe she only exists at a point in time before Rick accidentally created the multiverse? And Rick knows that messing with time too much would attract the attention of the time police, meaning so all he can do is move forward with a flask in his pocket and a lust for dangerous adventures.

We may never know for sure what hurt Rick so badly in his past or what happened to his wife, but this explanation feels like the best we’ve seen yet.

Rick and Morty Season 4 is expected to continue sometime in the first half of 2020.

Here’s the theory in its entirety:

Screen Rant

Rick & morty: how interdimensional cable episodes are made.

Rick and Morty's Interdimensional Cable episodes are fan-favorites, but how are they made? A lot of work goes into making the adverts and clips.

Rick and Morty ’s Interdimensional Cable episodes are some of its most memorable, and that's largely because of the improvised nature with which they're made. Interdimensional Cable is introduced in season 1 episode “Rixty Minutes” when Rick programs the family cable box to receive television broadcasts from alien worlds and alternate universes. In season 2, it returned in “Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate.” Both Rick and Morty episodes feature several adverts  for alien cereals and businesses along with imagined clips of TV shows that play in brief fits and starts as the characters channel surf. Unlike the more conventional narrative forms of other episodes, Interdimensional Cable allows for hilariously nonsensical bits that might not otherwise be able to fit into a typical episode. 

In Rick and Morty seasons 3 and 4, the show decided to let the idea of Interdimensional Cable evolve into “Morty’s Mind Blowers” and “Never Ricking Morty,” respectively. Both of these later episodes follow an anthology format inspired by the short clips from Interdimensional Cable, but focus more on narrative and include unseen (and sometimes even unreal) adventures. These aren’t exactly like past Rick and Morty  Interdimesional Cable episodes , but carry on the spirit of it by including quick and far-fetched stories which, though not necessarily enough to power a full episode on their own, are hilarious when strung together.

Related: Rick and Morty: Why Rick Turned Himself Into A Pickle

In “Rixty Minutes,” Rick comments that Interdimensional Cable has an “improvisational feel.” Co-creator Justin Roiland confirmed the truth in that statement during a Convention Junkies panel at Fan Expo Canada in 2017, stating that improvisational recording sessions for Interdimensional Cable sketches would consist of “4 or 5 hours” of pitches being traded back and forth between himself and other members of the writing team. He also mentioned that he “actually do[es] drink” during those sessions, which probably explains why a lot of Interdimensional Cable clips include laughing and fourth wall breaks (which are, of course, an enormous part of the charm).

Although Interdimensional Cable isn’t as scripted as other episodes, the production process can take longer than usual. Because Interdimensional Cable sketches are set in so many different locations, storyboard artists have more to illustrate. In an interview with EW , Roiland explains that “there are episodes that have fewer backgrounds” than the Jan Quadrant Vincent trailer from “Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate.” Sometimes, Roiland will tell storyboard artists what “neea ds to happen visually” in a sketch, but other times he tells them to “do what [they] want to do” with it. The combined creative freedom of the voice actors and storyboard artists lends itself to some of the most quotable and funniest moments in Rick and Morty .

Rick and Morty can be a very high-concept show and the kooky antics of Interdimensional Cable help to balance things out perfectly. In fact, heavy topics are discussed in the B plots of both Interdimensional Cable episodes , like the complicated existential implications of the multiverse, or the moral conundrum of the needs of the many versus the needs of the few. Rick and Morty ’s tone of dark humor is always present, even when the humor is more off the wall than usual. While episodes may be a little labor intensive, Interdimensional Cable provides a unique and enjoyable byproduct that is fun to watch and fun to make.

Rick and Morty: Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate Review

Don't change the interdimensional channel, dawg. Here's our latest Rick and Morty review...

At one of those Comic Cons (I can’t keep track of all of them; you nerds are taking over the world), Justin Roiland promised that the interdimensional television show gimmick introduced in last season’s “Rixty Minutes” would be Rick and Morty ’s “Treehouse of Horror.” This means, annually, we get an episode almost entirely composed of short segments animated to awkwardly improvised bits performed by an ever-drunker Justin Roiland boozing it up in the recording studio.

Look, I get that I’m apparently supposed to hate this one. Both Roiland and Dan Harmon have been talking it down, prepping everyone for the worst. Unlike with “Rixty Minutes,” they really just let Justin go this time and made little to no effort to form any conventional comedic structure around his various bits. Furthermore, rather than attempt to ape the surprise heartstring-tugging B-plot that rounded out the first improv’d episode, they went with an extended dick joke. Finally, just taking a quick look around the usual web hovels, many fans do already seem disappointed in “Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate.”

But I didn’t hate it! I didn’t love it either, but, as with “Rixty Minutes,” Roiland’s stumbling ramblings often get laughs out of me, even at those times I’m thinking in the back of my mind that there’s nothing particularly clever being said. Furthermore, the dick joke subplot, though basically devoid of pathos, was pretty solid! It took some unexpected turns and told a number of good jokes along the way.

The plot about Jerry’s penis being the perfect replacement heart for alien civil rights leader, Shrimply Pibbles, flip-flopped back and forth, due to the conflict of Jerry’s desire to do the right thing (or, more accurately, to be seen as having done the right thing), versus keeping his penis. It’s a funny arc: Jerry first attempts to demonstrate his selflessness, then he gets cold feet because he wants to keep his penis, and finally—when he’s told the transplant will be performed with a synthetic penis-heart that’s even better than his penis—he tries to force the alien surgeons to take his penis instead. It’s awesome that the internal conflict Jerry’s having of penis versus likability comes together. He now wants people to think him and his penis are the best.

Ad – content continues below

There are a lot of good jokes too. I like the running gag of the alien doctor qualifying that things are “alien” starting with telling Jerry he’s in an alien hospital. “To me, it’s just a hospital.” There’s also the brilliant moment when Jerry quickly pulls down his pants because he doesn’t want to be caught not masturbating (and the alien porn images are inspired too). The nano doctor operating on Shrimply Pibbles is also very clever. Probably the best moment of the episode, however, is the alien who gives a monologue about how penis-obsessed humans are. I thought it sounded like Werner Herzog and, lo and behold, it was he. I’m sad he wasn’t in more of the episode, but maybe it would’ve been too much of a good thing.

It’s a little harder to properly analyze the A-plot of these episodes, since they’re just disconnected bits of improvised nonsense. There’s no real story to discuss so it just comes down to whether or not I laughed and, as I said, I did, at a number of them.

One highlight was “The Adventures of Stealy,” in which a guy (from the same species as Mr. Poopy Butthole?) with abnormally long arms goes around stealing office supplies. I also enjoyed seeing how plumbuses get made and the concept of conjoined twins Michael and Pichael Thompson wasn’t bad. I laughed throughout Butthole Ice Cream, brief though it was. And I’d say the ending of the “Funny Songs” segment, where the volunteer from the audience gets murdered and has his life sucked out by demons is the best bit of interdimensional television in the episode. Also, Morty’s rant at Summer about how “maybe people who create things aren’t concerned with your delicate sensibilities” was certainly cathartic, if not funny. Beyond that, full segments didn’t hold up, but moments within them were funny (but that’s how it was with the previous improvised episode).

Okay, so maybe “Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate,” didn’t reach the storytelling heights of “Rixty Minutes,” but the penis B-plot (or D-plot, get it?!) was sound and packed in a lot of good jokes. The improvisational half of the episode was hit or miss, but that’s how I felt about it in “Rixty Minutes,” too. I’m already seeing a lot of fans being disappointed with this one, but what can I say? I laughed. Besides, maybe giving a shit about the fans’ feelings is a one-way ticket to extinction.

‘Rick and Morty’ Reveals the Interdimensional Cable Replacement This Season

Season 3 of Rick and Morty won’t bust out its popular “Interdimensional Cable” format again, but a teaser for Episode 8 reveals that we’ll be getting the next best thing: “Morty’s Mind Blowers.”

The latest promo for Rick and Morty reveals that “Morty’s Mind Blowers” is Inside Out meets Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind meshed with something like Harry Potter ’s Pensieve. All along, Rick’s been extracting Morty’s more traumatic memories to keep his grandson sane, and he’s got some secret lab where he stores all the memories in brightly colored vials.

“This, Morty,” Rick says, “is my archive of all the experiences you’ve begged me to remove from your life. I call them “Morty’s Mind Blowers” — and we’ll be doing this instead of interdimensional cable.”

Back in July, Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland revealed that the popular episode format wouldn’t return in Season 3, and the promo for “Morty’s Mind Blowers” makes good on that promise.

Check out the promo here:

As the teaser opens, Rick and Morty are being chased through a floating building in space straight out of an M. C. Escher painting. Their pursuer looks like a punk rock version of The Scream figure. (Is this episode all about art?) There is some serious “mystical haunted mansion in space” vibes going on.

Morty’s carrying a strange tortoise covered in gems. Rick calls it a “Truth Tortoise,” and when Morty accidentally looks into its eyes, he then just knows “everything.” This totally burns out poor Morty’s brain.

Poor Morty just "can't go on like this with the Truth Tortoise shit in his head."

Rick does Morty a solid and offers to remove the memory from Morty’s brain, a process that he’s apparently done countless times before. The “different take on a somewhat anthological episode” that Roiland promised looks like it will be an actual trip down memory lane. Rather than utterly random commercials from alternate dimensions, we’ll probably get a smattering of scenes from random Rick and Morty adventures.

Considering the fact that the last episode promised an adventure to Atlantis but instead delivered the astounding “Tales From the Citadel” , chances are high that none of the memories we’ll see will be recognizable.

Better yet, maybe we’ll get an explanation for the random opening credits sequence?

Rick and Morty Season 3 airs Sundays on Adult Swim at 11:30 p.m. Eastern.

Background [ ]

The Portal Gun was first created by Rick Prime . [1] After leaving his reality , Prime began visiting his alternate selves and gifted them the technology. When he came to Dimension C-137 , his counterpart rejected the offer. Insulted, Prime sent a bomb to Dimension C-137, killing its versions of Diane and Beth . After grieving for some time, Rick C-137 built his own Portal Gun, the only Rick other than Prime to actually invent the device [2] and began hunting Rick Prime.

It is an amazing gun, but has its limits. Only mass heavier than air may pass through the portal. In earlier episodes, it appears to be powered by some type of green plasma ball inside of the dome shaped glass vial on the top of the device. In later episodes, we learn the portal gun utilizes a special fluid that Rick calls "Quantum Transport Solution" in Forgetting Sarick Mortshall .

In the same episode, we learn from Morty that Portal Fluid is made from rare green-glowing crystals that Rick buys illegally. In The Ricklantis Mixup , we learn that Portal Fluid is restricted on the Citadel of Ricks, which led to the rise of "Bootleg Portal Fluid" that when made correctly, will likely act the same way as real Portal fluid. However, when Bootleg Portal Fluid is made incorrectly (Such as by messing up the math involved) it can have disastrous effects. This is seen in The Ricklantis Mixup when a Rick making Bootleg Portal Fluid gets busted and attempts to use his portal gun to escape a Police Rick and Morty, which results in him dissolving upon contact with the portal he made, likely killing him, to which Police Morty responds to by saying "I guess his math was off".

A Broken Portal Gun

History of Rick C-137's Portal Gun [ ]

The earliest observed instance of the gun is during a memory (depicting Rick in his home dimension tinkering with the concept of teleportation) extracted by Federation Agent Cornvelious Daniel while Rick was willfully imprisoned. It shows a bulky handheld prototype device seemingly edging on the capabilities of practical interspatial teleportation, though Rick C-137 is shown clearly having difficulty getting it fully operational. After failing to work out errors inherent to his invention, an interdimensional version of himself traveled into his garage hoping to implore him to shift his focus into traveling between realities instead, even alluding to a thinly veiled reference of the Central Finite Curve's existence in the process.

After his counterpart explains what awaits the titular protagonist if he accepts the offer, Rick C-137 decided to reject the knowledge of any further secrets on the basis it all sounded lonely and later claimed to be completely giving up on science as an occupation to his wife Diane . However, shortly after standing his ground against the Rick Prime , the alternate version swiftly left the dimension for good, and likely sent back a bomb in his place as a final gesture of his disapproval. These events led to the untimely death of his wife and child which ultimately sent him down a path of vengeance to find the party responsible. After grieving from the trauma, the Rick we've followed throughout the series pulled himself together and jury-rigged a much smaller prototype variant, now seemingly capable of interdimensional travel and used it to travel to the Phone Universe on his search, among countless others on the Curve. After relying on this newly constructed and unique version of the portal gun for several years, gradual improvements were made which eventually culminated in the result of the modern iteration typically shown in Rick and Morty's adventures.

During the present-day events shown in the series, the modern version was destroyed by a Gazorpazorp in Raising Gazorpazorp and as result, Summer and Rick had to return to Earth via space craft. Rick acquired a replacement gun, but that one was also destroyed when Rick rigged it to explode during the battle between Federation agents and the wedding guests at  Birdperson 's wedding reception in  The Wedding Squanchers . Another portal gun was found by Summer in The Rickshank Rickdemption when she unearthed the corpse of the Rick that was killed in the Dimension C-131 but that gun was later destroyed by the Jerry Smith that lived in the Prime Dimension . Given the fact that Tammy Guterman demanded that the portal gun was not to be damaged when demanding that Rick dropped it, combined with the fact that the Galactic Federation used a brainalyzer on Rick to get the details on how to build their own strongly implies that the Federation wanted to use his portal formula for their own personal use and that the reasons for it were likely to exert their control onto other dimensions.

A Prototype of the Portal Gun (Fabricated Memory)

Morty eventually helped himself to the Portal Gun to repair the damage Rick had done to the galaxy only for Rick to discover his meddling and dissolve their partnership. When Rick briefly left the Smith Family to travel with the Two Crows , he repentantly gifted the Portal Gun to Morty. Eager to have Rick back, Morty used the Portal Gun to follow him around and eventually go to the Citadel to buy an aging serum. While there, Morty refilled the gun with Evil Morty 's tainted Portal Fluid, the tainted Fluid trapping the denizens of the Citadel when Evil Morty enacted his plan. When Rick and Morty managed to escape, Rick depressingly regarded the useless Portal Gun.

Functionality of Portal Guns [ ]

  • Portal Gun History - data storage to record the locations teleported to and from recently. In Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind when the Council of Ricks confiscate C-137's portal gun, It is mentioned that the portal gun logs down every place it has teleported the user to.
  • Device Location Ping - The Council of Ricks can detect when a Citadel member's portal gun is compromised (destroyed) as seen in  The Rickshank Rickdemption . C-137 is not a member, so when Morty steals the portal gun in  Get Schwifty , the Council was not alerted. This detail suggests it is an opt-in feature.
  • Self-Destruction - Activated via a hidden button in the handle, the self-destruct causes the gun to implode, creating a short-lived portal that drags in its immediate surroundings.
  • In Forgetting Sarick Mortshall , Rick revealed that this fluid is extremely toxic, This is physically shown in the following episode , where waves of the fluid is launched out of underground tunnels on the Citadel , dissolving most solid objects it came into contact with, implying the fluid is some kind of nucleic acid.
  • The LED display and auditory cue will warn the user if it has been filled with a foreign substance as seen in Forgetting Sarick Mortshall when Morty attempts to secretly replace some of the fluid with a soft drink after nearly exhausting the gun's reserves.
  • Control Input - Can interface with computers via the muzzle of the gun, and also seems to be telepathically controlled via a protocol which can be used by authorized cybernetically augmented users to adjust the portal coordinates with ease.
  • Variable Portal Emitters - As shown in Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri , the Portal Gun can open multiple portals of varying size at once.

Weaponization and Tactics [ ]

Although the primary function of a portal gun is for traveling, it has and can also be used offensively or defensively, usually by transporting a hazard to the location. It can also be used to create obstacles, or quickly run away. A portal does not need to be on a solid surface, so if a portal opens inside of a person or object, it will cut said object (as seen in Mortynight Run when Rick rends a Gromflomite ). Speed does not seem to be conserved through portals, so they can be used to break falls as well.

Appearance [ ]

It is a metal grey gun-like controller with a black dial which is used to select a destination as shown on a red-green LED display. In earlier episodes there is also a red display on the bottom of the parallelepiped muzzle which has an unknown function. It is also unknown whether or not the dial also functions as a button. A small hatch on the handle opens up to reveal the self-destruct button. When shot, it generates an opaque green portal , acting like jelly when touched.

Questionable Limits [ ]

It's unclear how exactly the Portal Gun is controlled. Rick at multiple times can be seen instantly reconfiguring it as he sees fit, without any visible action or effort, so it might be controlled telepathically; however, Morty has to manually adjust its controls on the handle to tune it to select an exit destination.

The portals work in both directions until the portal collapses, which takes varying amount of time (presumably regulated by user). Portals can be created under any angle, not just vertically, across a solid surface or in thin air. Portals are opaque, and the user cannot see the other side until they actually enter, as seen with the Blender Dimension portal.

Larger devices of similar design are used on the Citadel, either as portals to transport large objects (like trash), or to teleport the entire Citadel if needed without creating an actual portal. Gaseous compounds cannot enter through the portals as stated by Rick, which prevented them from escaping with Fart .

Properties of the liquid: [ ]

If combined with any soda that has the acidity of Mountain Dew, it becomes a volatile and toxic substance that creates unstable portals on anything it touches.

When a portal passes through its own other end, the two ends will violently implode into each other out of existence, bringing any objects that they are attached to with them. This happened to Nick when Morty dropped his own severed hand into the portal on Nick's hand in the episode Forgetting Sarick Mortshall .

Can dissolve things if in large enough quantities.

Can also be used to teleport without portals instantly, but appears to require a specialized reactor to do that.

Can create much weaker version of black hole in enormous quantities.

Can cut things if it is in a free flowing state.

It's shown in Rick and Morty's Rushed Licensed Adventure that if one were to drink portal fluid, a portal would open inside them and suck them in. However, Jerry was able to drink Doofus Rick 's portal fluid and was completely fine, though his fluid might've had different properties.

A universal cooking and cleaning tool sounds revolutionary in and of itself, but the Plumbus also has merit as a piece of technology. As impossible as it might seem, the mysterious magic of the Plumbus somehow makes it possible.

One of the Plumbus' most interesting functions is its ability to play audio.

<p>Plumbus owners might not even need a playback dock to take advantage of the product's technical features. The versatile tool also has the ability to transmit signals. The troubleshooting section of the manual informs buyers that if airplane mode isn't activated, the Plumbus doesn't have transmissions.
