Mortimer "Morty" Smith Sr. is one of the two main protagonists in Rick and Morty. He is the grandson of Rick and is often forced to tag along on his various misadventures because his low inteligent brainwaves cancel out Rick's genius brainwaves so he can't be tracked. Morty attends Harry Herpson High School along with his sister, Summer.
Morty is a young teenage boy. He generally wears a yellow shirt, blue pants, and white shoes. He has a pronounced stutter (even when calm) and his voice constantly breaks due to the effects of puberty. Morty is young and good natured but is also easily impresionalble which makes it so easy for it to get him to go on his adventures. He has been described as 'challenged' and has difficulty in school. Despite his apparent lack of intellect, Morty has shown to be a good listener and follows directions well. These traits make him the perfect sidekick to Rick.
