It ’s a meta assumption , to be certain ( like many otherRick and Mortystorylines ) , though the villain he chases is very much an in - universe threat .
Rick and Morty seek out a ostensibly impossible execution somewhere in space and solve it . Turns out , there was a perfect event just wait to be clear , and the villain responsible for the murder was an obviously evil humanoid life form named Dr. Quantastico . Quantastico kill a being that ’s essentially a god within a planet - sized vessel that ’s purportedly impossible to cave in into , and he did it by sending a unmarried one of his cells back in metre million of years to evolve into a edition of him that would kill this god - all just to get Rick ’s attention .

Rick & Morty’s Quantastico Makes a Point to Be a Better Nemesis to Rick than Mr. Nimbus
Quantastico actually uses Mr. Nimbus to pull off the murder inRick and Morty!
The method acting behind Quantastico ’s murder involved the deadly toxin of a sure Pisces the Fishes found within Mr. Nimbus ’ domain , which the killer spliced with the temporal cell that would develop into his biological murder weapon . Quantastico could have used anything , but he chose to use this toxin from this Pisces because he cognize that Rick would detect it at the murder scene , and then track the toxin directly to Mr. Nimbus .
Of course , Mr. Nimbus had nothing to do with the execution , and the time Rick and Morty spent questioning him was more or less a complete dissipation . However , the fact that Quantastico draw him into the situation at all was to birth a very specific substance , one that Rick infer during the story ’s ‘ liberal reveal ’ : “ * * * * Nimbus , I ’m the real slew ” .
Rick & Morty is Slowly Phasing Out Mr. Nimbus as Rick’s Nemesis
It seems as though Mr. Nimbus is slowly being phased out ofRick and Mortycanon as Rick ’s curse , and this comic is n’t the only evidence to evoke that . InRick and Mortyseason 6 , episode 8 “ Analyze Piss ” , Rick becomes fatigued by all the ‘ costumed villains ’ from all over the place challenging him , and decides that he ’s not going to give them the atonement of a combat anymore in the hopes that they ’ll leave him alone . One of these ‘ villains ’ Rick speaks of - as go through at the very start of the episode - is his hypothesise nemesis , Mr. Nimbus .
Apparently , Mr. Nimbus means slight more to Rick than any other random ‘ costumed villain ’ that pops up to fight him , which does n’t indicate a grade of mutual respect a straight scourge deserves . With Quantastico , however , Rick is perfectly be adrift away by his brilliance , and is excited to call him his new nemesis - until Morty shoots Quantastico in the head , killing him instantly , anyway . So , while unawares - lived , Rick and Mortyfinally gives Rick a worthy scourge that is n’t Mr. Nimbus ( or himself ) .
