History
Groot's history is presumably similar to his Earth-616 counterpart's. He became a member of the pirate crew, the Starjammers to watch over his friend Rocket Raccoon.
One day, the Starjammers were approached by Nova Corpsman Johnny Storm who wanted to commandeer their ship to move some sort of object. The Starjammers refused to cooperate, and a fight broke out between the two parties. The fight was halted when the Shi'ar Imperial Fleet revealed that Storm was a fugitive wanted by the Shi'ar Empire and threatened to destroy the Starjammers for harboring him. The Starjammers were able to escape thanks to a space route provided by Storm. Then it was revealed that Storm was aiding Majestrix-in-exile Lilandra Neramani flee from her brother Emperor D'ken who planned to use the Phoenix Force to retake her throne.[1] What became of this plan is unrevealed.
Rocket and Groot eventually left the Starjammers and went on their own. One day, they found a human baby who possessed the Star Brand. Groot brought her aboard their ship the Mothership Guardian while Rocket opposed it. Rocket eventually relented, and he and Groot raised Brandy. One day, several alien races and the Watcher hired Rocket and Groot to kill Doctor Spectrum, a superhuman who had been brutally imposing the United States' will upon them and others. Rocket and Groot agreed and ambushed Spectrum after he delivered Thanos to Knowhere.
Rocket attacked Spectrum with small replicas of Groot using a weaponized Groot and Chr'yllite maggots, but Spectrum escaped, killed the Groot replicas and the weaponized Groot, and knocked Rocket around some asteroids. Rocket was given the power of the Star Brand by Brandy, but it wasn't enough, and Rocket was killed by Spectrum after torturing him in a supernova. Groot survived the encounter through replicas of himself. Brandy was saddened by Rocket's death and wanted go to Earth to kill Spectrum while Groot tried to talk her out of it. Then the pair were spotted by a Wakandan spaceship who had been searching for Brandy.[2]
Groot traveled to Earth with Brandy and remained in Earth Orbit on the Mothership Guardian while she went to Earth to join the Avengers. However, Doctor Spectrum and his team the Squadron Supreme were investigated, and Spectrum's teammate Hyperion found the Mothership Guardian. Recognizing it as the ship Rocket used and believing it to be a threat, Hyperion destroyed the ship and Groot along with it.[3]Attributes
