History Characters / RickAndMortyMortySmith

* HollywoodDateless: Even though Morty is generally treated as a stereotypically virginal awkward wimp who can't talk to women, he's actually managed to score with attractive women on more occasions than most boys his age (though circumstances tend to ensure he can't enjoy it for long).

* TookALevelInJerkass: Morty begins as a morally upright young man who scolds his grandfather into doing the right things. As he continues to become more and more traumatized by his adventures with Rick, Morty's moral compass gradually erodes and he even starts doing Rick-like behaviors.

* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:Comments by Evil Morty and C-137 Rick in "Rickaumari Jack" imply that the main Morty Morty is one of the many clone Mortys bred by the Citadel for other Ricks]].

* DesignerBabies: [[spoiler:"Rickaumari Jack" reveals that the Ricks started pushing Beth and Jerry together in lots of universes, and it's now the case that most Mortys are cloned and engineered by the Citadel, being bred to be subservient to Ricks. Comments by Evil Morty and C-137 Rick about how Morty is bred for forgiveness, to worship Rick and sell-out to him, suggest that our Morty is ''also'' a clone of another Morty]].

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]; Morty was never shown to be unpopular or an outcast. He was only shown to be bullied once in the pilot and despite not having any friends no one has a problem being around him, including his crush Jessica, a beautiful and popular girl.

!!Mortimer "Morty" Smith

* AmbiguousAge: Morty is 14 per WordOfGod but his adventures shown onscreen and alluded to frequently include YearInsidezhourOutside. He spends several days in Mr Goldenfold's head in ''Lawnmower Dog'', spends months in the Teenyverse in ''The Ricks Must Be Crazy'', lives an entire life in the video game "Roy: A Life Well Lived" in ''Mortynight Run'', lives ''billions of lives across several generations'' in the same game in ''Rick: A Mort Well Lived'', spends months frozen in time between seasons 1 and 2, lives as many as 64 lives over the course of a couple hours during ''A Rickle In Time'', etc. As a result the actual age of his person is considerably in excess of his biological one, especially once he gets manually reverted to 14 years old in ''Rickmurai Jack''

* ADateWithRosiePalms: As a typical 14-year-old boy, Morty is a chronic masturbator. He awkwardly warns Jerry not to come into his room when he's on the internet because who knows what he could be looking at, and only makes a half-hearted attempt to explain away that he's using an alien sex doll robot in his room before just giving up and going back to it. In Season 2's "Total Rickall", a flashback reveals Summer coming home early to find him masturbating ''in the kitchen''. When she demands to know why the hell he's doing it in the kitchen, in embarrassment he angrily declares that he does it in ''every room of the house'' (and as she flees, he defiantly shouts after her that he was thinking of her friend). In "The Ricks Must Be Crazy", after Morty spends a few months trapped on a primitive alien planet without his laptop, he admits to masturbating to "an extra-curvy piece of driftwood". Up to eleven with the horse semen extractor in "Rickdependence Day".

* ButtMonkey: Rick's adventures generally leave him either deeply traumatized or incredibly humiliated.

* AmbiguousDisorder: The pilot has Jerry tactlessly state that Morty has a learning disability right in front of him. Said disability is implied to be autism, as he stutters a lot when speaking, is bit of an introvert, and sometimes has difficulty understanding sarcasm. Later episode subtly confirm it, like in "One Crew Over The Crewcoo's Nest" where Rick calls Morty "his getaway driver with Asperger's" when attempting to get into Heist-Con.

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:In a sense, as of Season 3, he's the only remaining member of the original cast. His versions of Summer, Beth and Jerry were left behind in the '[[PersonAsVerb Cronenberged]]' timeline, and are possibly dead after being frozen by the Rick squad that found Morty and Summer in 'The Rickshawnk Redemption' while Rick himself has lost his original body and has [[BodySurf transferred into]] an alternate Rick.]]

* IdiotHero: Stated to be dimwitted by most people around him and according to his BumblingDad has a learning disability of some sort. It's mostly due to his young age and naivete of the multiverse. He is more intelligent than most of his family. He is even able to disarm highly sophisticated neutrino bombs (weapons capable of wiping out all life on a planet). WordOfGod has stated that, as an adult, Morty will be just as capable as Rick.

* CoolLoser: Although at first Morty was bullied, later episodes show that Morty generally gets along well with classmates despite his nervous demeanour. This trope is at its high point when he lets go of his "toxic" qualities in "Rest and Ricklaxation" he quickly becomes confident, socially adept, and supremely popular and well-liked by everyone in his school. Even able to charm two very attractive and ''significantly'' older women. Albeit at the cost of his conscience and morality.

** Before returning to the "Narnia dimension", he arms himself with just about every piece of arsenal stored in the garage and precedes to [[CurbStompBattle dismantle an entire castle full of its unnamed inhabitants that prophesized his return prior to his arrival,]] and retrieves more wine for Jessica with little to no effort. Not bad.

* TechnicalVirgin: He's gotten to make out with several girls and has engaged in some intimate touching, and in Season 5 he at least sleeps through the night with Planetina in his bed, but it's implied Morty has never actually had sex yet.

-->'''Morty:''' ''[after showing Summer dimension C-137]'' These are the parts of Rick's adventures you don't get to see, the parts he leaves behind.

* DesignerBabies: [[spoiler:"Rickaumari Jack" reveals that the Ricks started pushing Beth and Jerry together in lots of universes, and it's now the case that most Mortys are cloned and engineered by the Citadel, being bred to be subservient to Ricks. Comments by Evil Morty and C-137 Rick about how C-137 Morty is bred for forgiveness, to worship Rick and sell-out to him, suggest that our Morty is ''also'' a clone of another Morty]].

* NervousWreck: The typical Morty is prone to nervousness, timidity, and bouts of panic during their adventures, and this initially included C-137 Morty. However, he rather quickly grows out of this as his time dealing with Rick's shenanigans increases his confidence. This really shows in ''Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind'' (season one's penultimate episode) when he ends up trapped in a cellar with dozens of alternate Mortys; while they all cower and panic, the main Morty immediately stands up and gives them a RousingSpeech to fight back against Evil Rick, causing them to dub him the '''One True Morty'''.

* TeensAreShort: ''VideoGame/PocketMortys'' says that the average Morty is 5'2", while C-137 Morty is confirmed to be an inch taller in "Morty's Mind Blowers". There are [[AlwaysABiggerFish taller Morties]], though. But not Evil Morty.

* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:Comments by Evil Morty and C-137 Rick in "Rickaumari Jack" imply that C-137 Morty is one of the many clone Mortys bred by the Citadel for other Ricks]].

* TookALevelInCynic: His adventures with Rick have slowly shaped Morty into a more apathetic person. See SeenItAll section. From "The Ricklantis Mixup", this is a development exclusive to C-137 Morty, like all other Mortys that actually have Ricks tend to fall in line and act as the usual optimistic sidekick. The first Rick they meet since [[spoiler:destroying the Citadel]] even calls out C-137 Morty on being unusually aggressive and outspoken.

* CallingTheOldManOut: Tries to do this with Rick, but his grandfather either outright dismisses these criticisms or pointedly ignores answering to them as he attempts to steer the conversation elsewhere. Season 3 shows that he's getting better at calling out Rick's {{Jerkass}}ery in ways that are harder to brush off.

* IdiotHero: Stated to be dimwitted by most people around him and according to his BumblingDad has a learning disability of some sort. It's mostly due to his young age and naivete of the multiverse. He is more intelligent than most of his family. He is even able to disarm highly sophisticated neutrino bombs (weapons capable of wiping out all life on a planet). WordOfGod has stated that, as an adult, Morty will be just as capable as Rick. His "learning disability" is most likely just his budding super-intellect, like Rick's. Rick also had issues with high school, and thus dropped out, but you can't really say Rick has a learning disability.
