Rocket Raccoon

Rocket Raccoon

  • Rocket Raccoon
  • No Dual Identity

Rocket began as an ordinary raccoon used to comfort patients at the Halfworld asylum, until its robot caretakers genetically and cybernetically uplifted him. He served as Halfworld's ranger and security chief before leaving with his memories wiped, then spent years as a thief, smuggler and bounty hunter. While imprisoned by the Kree he befriended Groot, and the two joined Star-Lord to help found the modern Guardians of the Galaxy. Short-tempered but loyal and resourceful, he has stayed at the heart of the team through its many breakups and reunions.
