Oh, the horror! That’s precisely what the Rick & Morty fandom will think by the end of this article. Rick & Morty #4 confirms there is someone other than Rick who knows the secret to create the interdimensional portal techs, and no, it’s not another Rick. In fact, it’s one of Rick’s most famous nemeses and a season 5 villain on the Netflix show!
In season 5, episode 10, one of Rick’s lies comes unraveled, revealing that he killed C-137’s daughter and wife despite his denial. Rick Prime approached that version of Rick in season 3, offering to share the secrets of the portal tech. C-137 was not interested in interdimensional travel and denied it, leaving Prime with no option but to silence him to ensure his secret remains safe.
Yet he never got around to C-137, and that version of Rick invented his own portal tech and even shared the secrets with one of Prime’s enemies. This was confirmed in the latest issue of Rick & Morty #4 by Alex Firer and Marc Ellerby, from which I’ve attached an extract below:
As you can see in the image, when confronting Vronsky with copying his tech, Rick clearly asks if his kidnapper had got the idea from Nimbus. Nimbus, who you must remember seeing in season 5, can only presumably get his knowledge from Rick C-137.
The confirmation of Nimbus knowing the secrets to interdimensional portals is even more shocking because that creates an even bigger nightmare for the Ricks of the multiverses. Our Rick has long established that only he can be trusted with this secret, and if it falls into the wrong hands, only catastrophe awaits the infinite universes.
After all, Rick and Nimbus didn’t part on good terms. If the season 5 antagonist truly knows the secret, and in fact, he does, and Rick knows it, he can create his own Council of Nimbuses, bringing to life Rick’s biggest fear.
For now, Nimbus has made no moves that we’re aware of to use the technology apart from spilling his secret to Vronsky. What do you think he will do now that he holds the power to bring Rick to his knees? Drop your theories in the comments below!
