Rick and Morty's Darkest Villain is Krombopulos Michael (Not Evil Morty)

Rickmurai Jack, the season five finale, finally saw him put his plan into action, and it was absolutely devastating. Multiple versions of Rick and Morty died as a result of his plot to escape, giving Evil Morty a body count to beat...or at least, so fans would think.
