Cast and characters[edit]
Main[edit]
- Christian Slater as Vance Maximus:[2]
The leader of the Vindicators. He presents himself as a suave, friendly and fun-loving leader, but Rick's death traps quickly causes him to reveal his true nature as a coward who cracks under pressure. He insults Morty as "the learning-disabled kid we do photo ops with", and then attempts to escape only to be killed by a trap. He is a parody of Iron Man and Star-Lord. - Lance Reddick as Alan Rails:[3]
A man who gained the ability to summon ghost trains after his parents were killed in a railroad accident. He wears a ghostly train whistle around his neck, which he uses to summon ghost trains. He is openly hostile towards Rick and is revealed to be the one who didn't want to invite him back to defeat Doomnometron. Million Ants kills him during a squabble about their love triangle with Supernova. He is a parody of Steel, with powers similar to Green Lantern. - Gillian Jacobs as Supernova:[4]
A star themed superheroine, who is the only surviving member of the Vindicators after she assisted Million Ants in killing her ex-husband Alan Rails, then later killed her lover Million Ants. It is unknown whether Rick exposed her crimes or if she is still a hero after she escaped. She is most likely a parody of Starfire with a design like Singularity. - Maurice LaMarche as Crocubot:[4]
A cyborg crocodile. Little is known about him save for his cold mechanical-reptilian logic, and that Rick made a joke about him falling into a vat of redundancy. He dies in one of Rick's death traps when he tries to answer a question using common logic, when not taking into account the illogical answer that only Morty would know. He is likely a parody of Cyborg and animal superheroes like Rocket Raccoon. - Tom Kenny as Million Ants:[4]
A sentient ant colony who was originally given sentience by Supernova and became her adulterous lover when they were trapped on a planet for several days with no way of knowing if they would survive. He is killed by Supernova who crushes the queen ant after he tries to reason with her after she attempts to kill Rick and Morty. He is likely a parody of Ant-Man but bears more of a resemblance to Swarm and Clayface. - Justin Roiland as Noob Noob:[5]
The Vindicators' intern and janitor, who appears to be of the same species as Mr. Poopybutthole except with asymmetrical eyes. He wishes to eventually become a full-fledged Vindicator, but is always made to stay behind and clean up their ship. Rick appreciates him more than the other Vindicators because he laughs at Rick's jokes. While drunk, Rick claims to have more love for him than Morty, only to apparently forget who Noob Noob is after recovering.
