Adult Swim is givingRick and Mortya short series spin-off aboutThe Vindicators, the intergalactic superhero team which debuted in the show’s third season.The Vindicatorsis not the only digital series to be produced by Adult Swim, asYour Pretty Face is Going to Hell, Robot ChickenandAqua Teen Hunger Forceare also getting animated spin-offs.
The Vindicatorswill follow the superheroes’ adventures without Rick and Morty, featuring Supernova, Vance Maximus, Alan Rails, Crocubot, and the greatest hero of then all, Noob Noob. The short series is probably set before the events of “Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender”, the first and last Rick and Morty episode featuring the superteam, which was almost completely decimated by a series of deathtraps Rick put in place after getting drunk. Only Supernova gets to sneak away at the end of the episode, while Noob Noob is spared after being left behind in the superheroes’ headquarters.
