It was made up. When he revealed his con job to the (asshole) interrogator, he also revealed his origin story was similarly made up.
As usual with Rick and Morty, Rick pulls a "Ha ha, fooled ya motherfucker!" routine where he goes overboard.
Vindictiveness is an understatement.
I think Dan Harmon is writing out a bunch of concepts he doesn't want anymore - The council of Ricks, the Federation, the occupation of Earth, Beth's marriage being on the rocks, etc,. It occurs to me that his ex-wife was a cocreator and had to have contributed story lines or characters to the show. Since it was a rather nasty divorce, I expect it to manifest everywhere including the show.
I've only seen similar manifestations as related by children of acrimoniously divorced couples - a certain bitter and mean streak.
Still was a good episode. I hope we revisit the Evil Morty - seems like a similar heavyweight that can take on Rick. Nothing else can.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
