Groot is the accomplice of Rocket Raccoon. The pair traveled the galaxy picking up bounties until they met Star-Lord and Gamora just before the four of them were captured and put into the Kyln, where they also met Drax the Destroyer. There, they agreed to work together to escape and sell the Orb for a massive profit. However, when it was discovered that the Orb contained one of the Infinity Stones which was being sought out by Ronan the Accuser, Groot convinced his friends to stop Ronan's diabolical plans. During the Battle of Xandar, he sacrificed his own life to save his new friends. However, part of his destroyed body was planted by Rocket to birth a new Groot.
