Groot went on to star in its [spin-off](/source/Spin-off_(media)) series, *[Guardians of the Galaxy](/source/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy)*, joining the [team of the same name](/source/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_(2008_team)).

Groot has been featured in a variety of associated Marvel media, including [animated](/source/Animation) [television series](/source/Television_series), [toys](/source/Toy) and [trading cards](/source/Trading_card). [Vin Diesel](/source/Vin_Diesel) voices [Groot](/source/Groot_(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe)) in the MCU, starting in the 2014 film *[Guardians of the Galaxy](/source/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_(film))*, with Krystian Godlewski playing the initial incarnation of the character via [performance capture](/source/Performance_capture) and [James Gunn](/source/James_Gunn) doing so for his reborn offspring, colloquially known as "Baby Groot".

## Publication history

Groot's first appearance in *[Tales to Astonish](/source/Tales_to_Astonish)* #13

Groot first appeared in *[Tales to Astonish](/source/Tales_to_Astonish)* #13 (Nov. 1960), and was created by [Stan Lee](/source/Stan_Lee), [Larry Lieber](/source/Larry_Lieber) and [Jack Kirby](/source/Jack_Kirby).[1] He appeared again in *[The Incredible Hulk vol. 2 Annual](/source/The_Incredible_Hulk_(comic_book))* #5 (Oct. 1976), alongside five other monsters from Marvel's anthology horror comics of the late 1950s and early 1960s. In *[The Sensational Spider-Man](/source/The_Sensational_Spider-Man)* #−1 (July 1997), Groot was featured in a nightmare of the young [Peter Parker](/source/Spider-Man).

Groot reappeared in 2006 in the six-issue limited series *[Nick Fury's Howling Commandos](/source/Nick_Fury's_Howling_Commandos)* and appeared in the *[Annihilation: Conquest](/source/Annihilation%3A_Conquest)* and *Annihilation: Conquest – [Star-Lord](/source/Star-Lord)* limited series. Groot went on to join the [Guardians of the Galaxy](/source/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_(2008_team)) in the series of the same name and remained a fixture of the title until its cancellation with issue #25 in 2010. Groot appeared in its follow-up, the limited series *[The Thanos Imperative](/source/The_Thanos_Imperative)*, and, alongside fellow Guardian [Rocket Raccoon](/source/Rocket_Raccoon), Groot starred in backup features in *[Annihilators](/source/Annihilators_(Marvel_Comics))* #1–4 (March–June 2011) and *Annihilators: Earthfall* #1–4 (Sept.–Dec. 2011).

Groot appeared in issues #6–8 of *[Avengers Assemble](/source/Avengers_Assemble_(comics))* as a member of the Guardians. Groot is one of the stars of *Guardians of the Galaxy* vol. 3, a part of the [Marvel NOW!](/source/Marvel_NOW!) relaunch.[2]

In March 2015, it was announced that Groot would be getting a solo series by writer [Jeff Loveness](/source/Jeff_Loveness) and artist [Brian Kesinger](/source/Brian_Kesinger).[3]

The Groot who appeared in *Tales to Astonish* and the one introduced in *Annihilation: Conquest* were [retroactively](/source/Retroactive_continuity) established as being separate members of the same species in the sixth and final issue of the *Groot* ongoing series that launched in June 2015.[4] In *[Infinity Wars](/source/Infinity_Wars)*, however, Groot specifically references the fact that during his first visit to the planet Earth, he had promised to "march across the surface of the planet and doom all who dared to oppose Groot".[5] This seemingly reverted the character's origins to having both eras of Groot referencing the same persona, therefore invalidating the retroactive change from issue six of the *Groot* series.

## Origins

Groot is a *[Flora colossus](/source/Flora_colossus)* from Planet X, the capital of the branch worlds. The *Flora colossi* are tree-like beings whose language is almost impossible to understand due to their stiff [larynxes](/source/Larynx), causing their speech to sound like they are repeating the phrase "I am Groot". Other beings try to be friendly but become angry with the *Flora colossi* for their apparent inability to speak, though Groot was shown to have been actually speaking not just understandably but eloquently in his language throughout *Annihilation: Conquest*. The *Flora colossi* are ruled over by the "Arbor Masters" and teach the children of the species with "Photonic Knowledge", which is the collected knowledge of the Arbor Masters of the generations and is absorbed through [photosynthesis](/source/Photosynthesis); this is a highly advanced education method, making the *Flora colossi* geniuses.

Groot originated from an "Ennobled Sap-line" and was gifted with a tremendous grasp of quasi-dimensional super-positional engineering. Groot did not get along with fellow saplings but instead preferred the company of the "Maintenance Mammals", against which the other saplings discriminated. Groot was exiled by the "Arbor Masters" in *Guardians of the Galaxy* #14[6] after killing another sapling to defend a maintenance mammal it was brutalizing.

An alternate origin was presented in the *Groot* ongoing series. In the story, it is revealed that the other *Flora colossi* had been abducting organisms from other planets, including a young human girl named Hannah. After seeing Hannah, Groot realized that what his people were doing was wrong and managed to save the child and send her back to Earth. However, for his disobedience, Groot was exiled from Planet X and forced to wander the universe until he met [Rocket Raccoon](/source/Rocket_Raccoon) many decades later, where this version of Groot later became a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.[4]

## Fictional character biography

### Original Groot

Groot is an [extraterrestrial](/source/Extraterrestrial_life_in_popular_culture) tree monster who initially came to [Earth](/source/Earth) seeking humans to capture and study. Groot was seemingly destroyed by termites used by Leslie Evans.[7]

[Xemnu](/source/Xemnu) made a duplicate of Groot by making a human and tree hybrid that was used to fight the [Hulk](/source/Hulk), but it was destroyed in the battle.[8]

Groot was later revealed to have survived, but was a captive of the [Collector](/source/Collector_(character)) and held in his zoo in Canada until Groot and the other captive creatures were freed by the [Mole Man](/source/Mole_Man). Groot and the other creatures rampaged in New York City until they were stopped by a band of superheroes, and were then dumped through a portal to the [Negative Zone](/source/Negative_Zone).[9]

Groot was later tracked down and captured by [S.H.I.E.L.D.](/source/S.H.I.E.L.D.)'s Paranormal Containment Unit, nicknamed the [Howling Commandos](/source/Nick_Fury's_Howling_Commandos), when his tree scent was detected by [Sasquatch](/source/Sasquatch_(comics)#Howling_Commandos'_Sasquatch) and [Abominable Snowman](/source/Abominable_Snowman_(comics)).[10] While Groot was being held captive, [Gorilla-Man](/source/Gorilla-Man#Ken_Hale) talked to Groot about joining the Howling Commandos.[11] When [Merlin](/source/Merlin_(Marvel_Comics)) and his forces attacked the base, the Howling Commandos let Groot and their other captives free, who proceeded to stampede on Merlin's army; Groot was the only one to turn back, offering to join the Howling Commandos.[12] Groot aided the Howling Commandos as they assaulted Merlin's forces.[13]

### Guardians of the Galaxy's Groot

[Cosplay](/source/Cosplay) of Groot and Rocket Raccoon

A different Groot played a part in *[Annihilation: Conquest](/source/Annihilation%3A_Conquest)*, at which time it was shown Groot may be the last remaining member of the *Flora colossi* and was under arrest by the [Kree](/source/Kree) for an unknown reason. Groot earned freedom by joining [Star-Lord](/source/Star-Lord)'s strike force, where Groot and [Rocket Raccoon](/source/Rocket_Raccoon) formed a bond, Rocket being one of the few beings with the ability to understand Groot's language.[14] Star-Lord's team fought their way through the [Phalanx](/source/Phalanx_(comics)), but after the death of [Deathcry](/source/Deathcry) the team decided to escape through a drainage pipe that Groot could not fit into.

As a consequence of the battle, Groot dies, buying the team some time to escape.[15] A new Groot was created as a sprig offshoot and went on to accompany the team on their continued mission against the Phalanx, but was one of the team members captured by the Phalanx.[16] Groot and the others were freed by [Mantis](/source/Mantis_(Marvel_Comics)), and escaped back to the lines of the Kree's resistance. In time, Groot's body regenerated from the twig, growing back to full size. Groot and the others intended to carry on as part of Star-Lord's team.[17]

Groot and the team returned to Hala to prepare another assault against the Phalanx, but their agent [Blastaar](/source/Blastaar) was captured by the Phalanx and taken to their Babel Spire as he tried to carry Groot's pollen spores.[18] Groot and Rocket Raccoon continued their mission by sneaking into the sub-basement of the Babel Spire.[19] When Star-Lord was captured by [Ultron](/source/Ultron), the original plan of laying explosives in the Spire failed, so Rocket Raccoon and Groot needed to come up with a new plan.[20] Groot decided to sprout inside the Spire, growing to colossal size and filling a large portion of the building.

Mantis was able to remix Groot's sap in a way as to make it extremely flammable, and again Groot died for the team, this time by purposefully igniting himself to destroy the Babel Spire.[21] A cutting of Groot was kept by Rocket Raccoon, though, and Groot was again able to regrow.[22] Groot then joined the new [Guardians of the Galaxy](/source/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_(2008_team)) (or, as Groot would have it, "Groot and Branches"), and began regrowing under the care of Mantis.[23][24]

When the Guardians reformed, Groot joined with Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, [Drax the Destroyer](/source/Drax_the_Destroyer) and [Gamora](/source/Gamora), whom Groot counted as friends.[25]

During the 2015 *[Secret Wars](/source/Secret_Wars_(2015_comic_book))* storyline, Groot is with the Guardians of the Galaxy when they take part in the incursion between Earth-616 and Earth-1610. Groot and Rocket Raccoon are killed by the Children of Tomorrow.[26] However, when Peter Quill — one of the few survivors of the incursions from Earth-616 — finds himself confronted by [Black Swan](/source/Black_Swan_(comics)) in the castle of [Emperor Doom](/source/Doctor_Doom), he reveals that he has been carrying a small twig of Groot in his pocket ever since the incursion. He slams the twig into the roots of the World Tree, allowing Groot to transform the giant tree into his body. Groot decimates Doom's castle as the surviving heroes mount their final assault.[27]

During the "[Civil War II](/source/Civil_War_II)" storyline, Groot and the Guardians of the Galaxy are summoned by [Captain Marvel](/source/Carol_Danvers) to help her in her fight against Iron Man's side. The resulting battle damaged the Guardians of the Galaxy's ship, stranding them on Earth.[28]

During the "[Secret Empire](/source/Secret_Empire_(2017_comic))" storyline, Groot and the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy assist Captain Marvel, the Alpha Flight Space Program, members of the [Ultimates](/source/Ultimates_(2015)), Hyperion, and Quasar in intercepting a fleet of [Chitauri](/source/Chitauri) that are approaching Earth until a [Hydra](/source/Hydra_(comics))-aligned Steve Rogers activated the Planetary Defense Shield trapping those fighting the Chitauri outside of Earth's atmosphere.[29] Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot try to enlist representatives of the [Skrull](/source/Skrull), Kree, [Brood](/source/Brood_(comics)), [Shi'ar](/source/Shi'ar) and Spartax empires that are on the Galactic Council in helping against the Chitauri hordes and to break down the Planetary Defense Shield and get rid of Hydra. Realizing they are now facing a galaxy without human interference, the Galactic Council refuses aid and attempt to kill the three Guardians as they flee.[30] After the Planetary Defense Shield is shut down, Groot and the Guardians of the Galaxy join the final battle against Hydra.[31]

Rocket Raccoon and Groot are on their way to the Stohlad Ring when they are ambushed by [Gardener](/source/Gardener_(comics)), who shatters Groot because the Guardians of the Galaxy "corrupted" him and diverted him from his true purpose. Rocket Raccoon escapes with a splinter of Groot, who regrows his body.[32]

During the "[Infinity Countdown](/source/Infinity_Countdown)" storyline, Groot is with the Guardians of the Galaxy when they notice that the planet Telferina is under attack by the *Flora colossi* that Gardener grew from Groot's splinters. Groot gets close to Gardener and purges the poison that [Loki](/source/Loki_(Marvel_Comics)) put in him from his body. Gardener repays Groot by using his abilities to restore Groot to his previous size. In addition, Groot can now speak in full sentences and [refers to himself in the third person](/source/Illeism).[33]

## Characterization

### Powers and abilities

Groot can absorb wood as food, and has the ability to [regenerate](/source/Regeneration_(biology)).[34] Groot can control trees and plants, using them to attack others, and appears to be resistant to fire. Groot is able to sprout dramatically increasing mass which then severely inhibits movement.[*[volume and issue needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources)*]

Groot has been seemingly killed on multiple occasions, each time regrowing from a sprig.[*[volume and issue needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources)*]

### "I am Groot"

[Black Bolt](/source/Black_Bolt)'s brother [Maximus](/source/Maximus_(comics)) asserted that whenever Groot is saying the trademark "I am Groot!", he has actually been saying a number of things, and his varying inflections of the sentence are the equivalent of words and sentences. People who have interacted with Groot are gradually able to decipher the meaning of the inflections and can carry on full conversations with Groot.

The meaning of the word 'Groot' comes from the Dutch word 'groot' and translates as 'Tall'. The mature form of Groot's species is robust and heavyweight, which causes the organs of acoustic generation to become stiff and inflexible. It is this nature of Groot's larynx that causes people, who are oblivious to the subtle nuances of *Flora colossi* speech, to misinterpret Groot as merely repeating his name. It could not be determined whether Maximus' claim was true or merely another manifestation of his madness, though Groot genuinely did seem to be assisting Maximus with highly advanced engineering.[35] In *All-New X-Men* #23, [Jean Grey](/source/Jean_Grey) telepathically links with Groot, showing that Groot's thought processes are indeed complex, and the declaration of "I am Groot!" usually represents attempts at highly intelligent communication.[36]

## Literary reception

### Volumes

#### *Groot* - 2015

According to [Diamond Comic Distributors](/source/Diamond_Comic_Distributors), *Groot* #1 was the 10th best selling comic book in June 2015.[46][47][48]

#### *Rocket Raccoon and Groot* - 2016

According to Diamond Comic Distributors, *Rocket Raccoon and Groot* #1 was the 15th best-selling comic book in January 2016.[49][50][51]

Jesse Schedeen of *[IGN](/source/IGN)* gave *Rocket Raccoon and Groot* #1 a grade of 7.8 out of 10, writing, "This new series may not feel terribly "all-new" or "all-different," but it features a proven creative team exploring the continued misadventures of Rocket and Groot. It's tough to go wrong with that. Unlike some Guardians comics, this series quickly finds its niche and promises interesting wrinkles to come for both characters."[52]

#### *I Am Groot* - 2017

According to Diamond Comic Distributors, *I Am Groot* #1 was the 71st best-selling comic book in May 2017.[53][54][55]

All the pieces are there story-wise, art-wise, and character-wise. Now the task is the new journey we’re taking with some ink and paper friends. Fans of the movies and fans of the original comics will find much to appreciate with this issue. Time to blast up the jams on your old cassette tape deck and enjoy with a smile."[56] Baltimore Lauren of *[Bleeding Cool](/source/Bleeding_Cool)* asserted, "Hastings delivers a strong narrative with the small tree creature-slash-assassin. Despite only speaking three words, he does inflect great emotion through Groot."[57]
