BACKSTORY: Formally Subject-89P13 was a raccoon who was genetically and cybernetically modified by the High Evolutionary (Herbert Wyndham), giving him enhanced intelligence and the ability to speak. Naming himself Rocket, the raccoon befriended other experiments that he was in containment with, believing together that they would soon be allowed to live in peace on a new planet. While aiding High Evolutionary in perfecting his experiments, Rocket discovered that he, along with his friends, were slated to be killed. Rocket attempted to free his friends, only for the High Evolutionary to kill them in front of Rocket ruthlessly. Rocket then attacked his former master, mutilating him. Afterwards, Rocket boarded a ship and fled into the cosmos, his once innocent life stripped away and replaced with guilt, anger and trauma. While traveling the galaxy, Rocket befriended Groot, and the pair committed crimes and picked up bounties. In 2014, they met Star-Lord, who convinced them to assist him in selling the Orb, which was being sought after by Ronan the Accuser, for a massive profit. However, when they discovered that the Orb contained the Power Stone, Rocket was convinced to risk everything to stop Ronan's plans from using the Infinity Stone to destroy Xandar. During the Battle of Xandar, Rocket managed to assist his friends in destroying Ronan, then becoming a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

PERSONALITY: Due to the inhumane experiments done to him, Rocket became bitterly, even bitingly sarcastic, foul-mouthed and cynical, as well as generally misanthropic, but in recent years seems to have adopted a more calm and temperamental demeanor. He is also easily enraged and extremely aggressive, which, in turn, makes him exceedingly trigger-happy with an innate desire for violence. Despite his toughness, he also possesses a cruel and slightly morbid sense of humor. Underneath all the trauma, Rocket still has a good heart, but he is scared to show that part of him, because it was a weakness that the High Evolutionary manipulated, and he doesn't want to be manipulated again.
