Gamora, Groot, and Drax decided to support Quill, with Rocket finally reluncantly agreeing as well. After the outlaws were reunited, Quill begged them all to help him make a stand against Ronan, though Rocket suggested that, given the odds, Quill was asking them to die. Rocket suggested he and Groot get to the other side of the universe to save themselves, but was convinced by both Groot and Drax to instead help his newfound friends. It was the Collector who explained that the Orb housed the Power Stone, one of six incredibly powerful Infinity Stones.Īfter the sale to the Collector went sour, Rocket, Groot and Drax found themselves separated from Gamora and Quill after simultaneous attacks by Ronan and Yondu, who both sought the Orb. Rocket was also upset by the Collector referring to him as a pet, though Gamora intervened. While waiting to meet their intended buyer, the Collector, Drax offended Rocket with his rude name calling, causing a fight to break out between the two that Quill had to break up.

The Mad Titan Thanos is immensely strong and cruel and stops at nothing to get ahold of each Infinity Stone in his bid to destroy half the universe. He blames Ronan for Groot’s death during the confrontation. When Radical Kree zealot Ronan the Accuser breaks a peace treaty with the Kree and Xandarians, desiring the destruction of all Xandarians, Rocket engages in a battle with him over an Infinity Stone alongside his fellow Guardians.

His weaponry includes an Ion Cannon, Laser Cannon, Gas Grenade, the Hadron Enforcer combustion cannon, Aero-Rigs-allowing users to jettison into the air and outer space-and a Nanobot Welder.
