What makes “C-137″ The Rickest Rick?

Someone probably thought of this already, but I interpreted the title of “Rickest Rick” as an individual with all the identifying qualities of Rick (super-intelligence, addictions, nihilisms, seemingly random moments of initiative, etc) but exaggerated. It’s both a combination of his natural self and the way his universe shapes him which allows him to encompass all the common/defining characteristics of a Rick to wild, but rather reasonable degrees - he’s not “the most”, he is “one of the most” in our list of Ricks.

Not all of the qualities of a Rick are exaggerated, but the major ones that are involve his motivations. Then you add that to how our Rick has been both an incredibly loving individual, to one passionately selfish, and to an individual who became so apathetic he’d commit genocide as a byproduct of his recklessness. I will keep my observations as close to the area of the multiverse that would soon be the Central Finite Curve because... yeah I don’t have the capacity to work with anything bigger and more irrelevant to canon.

The Traits of Rick “C-137″

•He easily takes down other Ricks, making him one of the most versatile fighters of the Ricks.

•He loses his family; a major Rick anchor to reality judging by the farming of simple Rick. In this way, he’s one of the saddest Ricks. •He seeks revenge for decades. He is one of the Ricks with the most passion regarding a vendetta.

•He commits Rickicide; combine the notion of making his own face the face of an enemy and survivor’s guilt, and it makes him one of the most self-loathing Ricks. It also makes him one of the guiltiest.

•He commits Rickicide for such a long time and in the aftermath of his anger high or wrath withdrawal, refrained from killing himself until the Unity rehook-up/rebreak-up. He is one of the most determined Ricks.

•He becomes extremely apathetic; he is one of the most nihilistic Rick, fed by personal loss.

•He becomes so rebellious against the unsaid/common sense law between his kind to “Don’t Commit Interdimensional-Rickicide,” that he forces his alternates to make a government. Which he refuses to voluntarily participate in. He is one of the most antisocial (in the actual definition of the word) Ricks. •He kills and destroys so much, making him one of the more Eviler Ricks in terms of body count, as Evil Rick/President Morty would say. •He tries to prevents his newer loved ones from leaving him; of which includes Bird Person, Morty, and so on. He is one of the most tragically lonely and selfish Ricks. Also one of the most abusive on account of... playing with the entirety of Morty’s psyche and more. Add that with his compulsive need for control in even the smallest manner and you have one of the most petty Ricks.

•He consistently pushes people away despite his codependency, such as with Morty, Beth, Summer (?), and even Tony. He clings to his enemies as well; President Curtis and maybe Mr. Nimbus, treating their hatred as a vehicle for someone caring for him in a twisted way. It’s possible that his hatred for Jerry keeps him from having to deal with the guilt of “ruining” his own family/families. It’s also possible he realized too late with his various replacement families that even though they’re not his, he still cared about them to some extent and is legitimately hurt when they reject his recklessness/attempts to disassociate emotionally. He is one of the uh, most tsundere-ish.

It’s not that he’s the single kindest Rick, the evilest man-child Rick, or possibly even the smartest (who knows, maybe there’s a greater Rick intellect in the CFC who’s passive or cognitively incapacitated for some reason. Straight-up, my bet’s on Slow Rick).

Notice again how I repeatedly say he’s “one of the most [Rick trait].” And that’s because he’s not the single most extreme example of a chaRickteristic, let alone all of them. He’s the Rickest Rick because he encompasses all these qualities to a substantially significant amount that he is just the Rickest - of course, within the constraints of the CFC. He’s paradoxical but not in a way that’s totally nuts, and it’s because he has all these conflicting needs and attitudes. If you wanna go meta, he is the most dynamic and round CharRickter. More likely, he may not even be the Rickest CFC Rick. Maybe he managed to eliminate the Rickest Rick or all the Ricker Ricks above him in the line-up due to luck or an accident. Or he’s just one of the Rickest that ended up receiving more attention/notoriety than the other “Rickest Ricks.”

Or, I mean, he’s deemed the Rickest Rick because he’s the cutest every Rick is low-key aware he’s the one with the most screen time idk lul rickrick rike what even is this word anymore

Edits: grammar and ELi5/TL;DR of sorts

ExplainlikeIDidn’tRead: Ya got a character customizer in the Sims, but all the traits are Rick personality traits. You pull every bar (or just most bars) within every trait up really high but not all the way. That’s pretty much “C-137” and what it means to be the Rickest lmao

Didn’tReadI’m5: You have bad fruits and good fruits to make a smoothie. A random Rick can be a smoothie with some number of bad and some number of good fruits together. “C-137” is a certain mix of bad and good fruits; but the fruits are abnormally large in size. Rick is smoothie. Smoothie Rick.
