Rick and Morty: A Power Ranking of the Multiverse’s Mightiest
In the realm of Rick and Morty, the multiverse is teeming with peculiar characters and over-the-top villains. From the quirky creations of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland come beings of immense power and stature, each bringing their own flavor to the frenetic narrative of the show. Here’s an in-depth ranking, based on physical prowess and sheer strength, of the most formidable beings our dynamic duo has encountered throughout their six-season run. And while Rick Sanchez is a force to reckon with, even he sometimes meets his match.
12. The Environmental Enigma: Planetina
Channeling the nostalgia of Captain Planet from the ’90s, Planetina takes environmental protection to a new level. Not only does she have superhuman elemental abilities, but her deep-seated affection for Morty drives her to drastic measures, including disposing of hundreds of coal miners. A force that even the resourceful Rick might struggle with.
11. Divine Intervention: Jesus Christ
Portrayed magnificently by Christopher Meloni, this rendition of Jesus showcases divine might. After Rick and Morty find themselves ensnared by Story Lord, the Savior doesn’t hesitate to dispense divine justice. The vastness of the show’s universe, however, means that even His powers have limits.

With the title of “king of Atlantis” and being Rick’s self-proclaimed nemesis, Mr. Nimbus controls the waters and can even exert his will over law enforcement. His past battles with Rick are a testament to his prowess.
6. The Celestial Warrior: Reggie
Embodying the essence of the Greek god Zeus, Reggie’s god-like might places him among the top contenders. He bested Rick in their skirmish, proving his place in this ranking.

Fart’s abilities range from atomic manipulation to mind control. His virtually indestructible nature poses a challenge to all who encounter him.
