==Biography==
  
−
Centuries ago, a group of alien humanoids settled the largest planet in the Keystone Quadrant star system. They built a complex to house and treat the insane, recording their medical observations in a psychiatric diary. When their funding was cut, they abandoned the project, but not before they created a staff of robots to provide for the humanoids. They then separated the quadrant from the rest of the galaxy with an impenetrable force field.
  
   
  +
In the ''Marvel Cinematic Universe'', he is voiced by Bradley Cooper as Sean Gunn provides motion capture.
−
When a nearby star went nova, ensuing radiation gave sentience to the robots, who quickly chafed at the illogic of the humanoids, or "Loonies." Seeking to end their servitude, the robots used genetic engineering to give intelligence and awareness to the animals that had been left as companions for the patients. They charged the animals with the patients' care and protection, then relocated to the far side of the planet, which they proceeded to strip bare through industrial endeavors, one of which was construction of a vast, humanoid spacecraft called Ship. The half-industrial, half-verdant planet became known as "Halfworld."
  
   
  ⚫
==Biography==
−
The animals continued to care for the humans, and the robots provided equipment, weapons, and parts for toys. The psychiatric diary left by the physicians (now known in legend as the "Shrinks") became an indecipherable icon called Gideon's Bible. Toys played an important part in Halfworld society as entertainment for the Loonies. Without toys, the Loonies lapsed into a deep melancholy, so the animals made certain nothing interrupted production. Two otters formed the first toy factory, and upon their death it was taken over by the mole Judson Jakes, who established his headquarters in the Spacewheel space station built by the tortoise Uncle Pyko. Pyko designed toys, weapons, an army of robots clowns, and the batlike Drakillers.

Rocket Raccoon was one of the many animals that was left on a planet in the Keystone Quadrant star system, which was stationed by the "Loonies" to treat patients. When funding was cut, they abandoned the project and separated the quadrant from the rest of the galaxy with a force field. The Loonies also created robots to provide servitude, and the animals were left to be companions for the patients. When a nearby star went nova, the robots seek to end their servitude, and used genetic engineering to give intelligence and awareness to the animals. After charging the animals with the patients' care and protection, they relocated to the far side of the planet.
−
Jakes' first attempt to steal Gideon's Bible, decipher its secrets, and turn them to profit was stopped by the Hulk, aiding Halfworld's chief law officer, Ranger Rocket Raccoon. The book was recovered, but not before Pyko secretly translated it and returned the Hulk to Earth.
  
−  
−
Jakes' "Mayhem Makaniks" encountered its first competition when the serpentine Lord Dyvyne organized "Dyvynities, Inc." and forced Jakes from Spacewheel. Jakes retreated underground and a Toy War ensued. Both coveted the otter Lylla, who was legal heir to the toy empire and romantically involved with Rocket Raccoon.
  
−  
−
Rocket Raccoon opposed Jakes and Dyvyne and tried to end the war. The two joined forces in a mutual attempt to kill him, even as Pyko joined Rocket. Pyko, Lylla, Rocket, and his first mate, Wal Russ, took Gideon's Bible to the robots and presented it to the Head Robot, who combined the information contained in the volume with the robots' advanced technology to create helmets that would cure the Loonies. The four animals distributed the helmets. A last assault by Jakes and Dyvyne was narrowly foiled by the animals, the robots, and the newly aware humanoids.
  
−  
−
The grateful humanoids began to plan the future, and offered Rocket, the other animals, and the robots positions as assistants and entertainers. Not interested in those roles, the animals and automatons entered Ship and launched an expedition to explore space and its many worlds.
  
   
  +
The planet was scrapped bare through industrial endeavors, and the planet became known as "Halfworld", since the planet itself became half-industrial and half-verdant. The animals continued to care for the humans, and the robots provided toys, which played an important part in Halfworld society. When humans lapsed into melancholy, two otters formed the first toy factory, and it was later taken over by the mole Judson Jakes.
−
One such planet was Hallaile, or "Witch World," where Rocket Raccoon met the wandering Prince Wayfarer of Ithicon. The two fought the sorceress and a group of rogue animals.
  
   
  +
===Guardians of the Galaxy===
−
Rocket Raccoon was later captured by a renegade group of alien Skrulls disguised as a race of D'Bari, a.k.a. the Asparagus People, after Raccoon discovered their secret. The disguised Skrulls also captured allies of the trucker-turned-space explorer Razorback, who brought the hero She-Hulk to help rescue his allies, in the process liberating Rocket Raccoon and exposing the Skrulls. Presumably, Raccoon returned to his fellow Halfworlders.
  
−
Recently Rocket Raccoon was held prisoner by the Kree. He was introduced to Peter Quill as a member of his team to help hault the Phalanx's attempted conquest of the galaxy. Rocket Raccoon acted as a gifted military tactician who was also fearless, loyal, and insightful. Afterwards he joined Starlord's Guardians of the Galaxy, where he proved essential to holding the team together when Starlord's leadership was questioned.
 +
During the Phalanx invasion, Rocket met with Star-Lord and members of strike commando team to defeat the Phalanx - Groot, Mantis, Captain Universe, Deathcry and Bug. Rocket instantly formed a bond with Groot, and became known as the master tactician and heavy weapons expert of the group. The team later managed to fight against the Phalanx and its leader, Ultron, with the aid of Gamora, Drax the Destroyer and Adam Warlock. Afterward, Rocket joined the Guardians of the Galaxy, and proved to be essential in keeping the team together, especially when Star-Lord's leadership was questioned.
   
  +
After Star-Lord's supposed death, the team disbanded and Rocket got a job as a mailman for Timely Incorporated. After receiving a package filled with the same killer toy clowns from Halfworld, Rocket quit his job and went looking for Groot. The duo met up and traveled to Halfworld, where they were immediately fired upon and Rocket's ship was destroyed. After regaining his memories of what happened on the planet and preventing Star Thief from merging with said planet, Rocket and Groot vowed to continue to keep the Guardians alive for Star-Lord.

The Guardians explained what Thanos was doing to get the Cosmic Cube, and both teams embarked on a journey to find Thanos. The teams fought against the Badoon, and after escaping a near-death experience, managed to defeat the enemies. The Guardians and Thor were apparently killed by Thanos, but in reality, the were sent to the Cancerverse where they found the Elders of the Universe.

In the Cancerverse, Iron Man found that Thanos' weapon wasn't a Cosmic Cube, and that it had defects. They bargained with the Collector in exchange for a weapon capable of deactivating the Cosmic Cube. Upon returning and with the help of the Avengers, Thanos was defeated and sent to punishment by the Elders. Due to Iron Man's help with defeating Thanos, Star-Lord personally offered him a spot on the team, and he gladly accepted.
−
'''Enhanced Senses:''' Being a raccoon many of Rocket's senses are heightened to levels well above human. Able to see much better than the average human and extremely well adapted to near dark conditions. His enhanced sense of smell allows him to detect subtle changes in scents around him enabling him to detect the approach of others and increasing his ability to operate in darkness. With his broad auditory range, he can perceive tones outside the range of the human ear as well as subtle sounds caused by vibrations on the ground. His hyper sensitive paws allow him to identify objects before touching them with vibrissae located above his claws.

Biography

Creation

Rocket Raccoon was one of the many animals that was left on a planet in the Keystone Quadrant star system, which was stationed by the "Loonies" to treat patients. When funding was cut, they abandoned the project and separated the quadrant from the rest of the galaxy with a force field. The Loonies also created robots to provide servitude, and the animals were left to be companions for the patients. When a nearby star went nova, the robots seek to end their servitude, and used genetic engineering to give intelligence and awareness to the animals. After charging the animals with the patients' care and protection, they relocated to the far side of the planet.

The planet was scrapped bare through industrial endeavors, and the planet became known as "Halfworld", since the planet itself became half-industrial and half-verdant. The animals continued to care for the humans, and the robots provided toys, which played an important part in Halfworld society. When humans lapsed into melancholy, two otters formed the first toy factory, and it was later taken over by the mole Judson Jakes.

Guardians of the Galaxy

During the Phalanx invasion, Rocket met with Star-Lord and members of strike commando team to defeat the Phalanx - Groot, Mantis, Captain Universe, Deathcry and Bug. Rocket instantly formed a bond with Groot, and became known as the master tactician and heavy weapons expert of the group. The team later managed to fight against the Phalanx and its leader, Ultron, with the aid of Gamora, Drax the Destroyer and Adam Warlock. Afterward, Rocket joined the Guardians of the Galaxy, and proved to be essential in keeping the team together, especially when Star-Lord's leadership was questioned.

After Star-Lord's supposed death, the team disbanded and Rocket got a job as a mailman for Timely Incorporated. After receiving a package filled with the same killer toy clowns from Halfworld, Rocket quit his job and went looking for Groot. The duo met up and traveled to Halfworld, where they were immediately fired upon and Rocket's ship was destroyed. After regaining his memories of what happened on the planet and preventing Star Thief from merging with said planet, Rocket and Groot vowed to continue to keep the Guardians alive for Star-Lord.

Stopping Thanos

The Guardians followed Thanos to Earth, and arrived to offer help to the Avengers after they were attacked by Thanos and his Zodiac. The Guardians explained what Thanos was doing to get the Cosmic Cube, and both teams embarked on a journey to find Thanos. The teams fought against the Badoon, and after escaping a near-death experience, managed to defeat the enemies. The Guardians and Thor were apparently killed by Thanos, but in reality, the were sent to the Cancerverse where they found the Elders of the Universe.

In the Cancerverse, Iron Man found that Thanos' weapon wasn't a Cosmic Cube, and that it had defects. They bargained with the Collector in exchange for a weapon capable of deactivating the Cosmic Cube. Upon returning and with the help of the Avengers, Thanos was defeated and sent to punishment by the Elders. Due to Iron Man's help with defeating Thanos, Star-Lord personally offered him a spot on the team, and he gladly accepted.
