Groot

Groot (/ɡruːt/) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Tales to Astonish #13 (Nov. 1960). An extraterrestrial, sentient tree-like creature, the original Groot first appeared as an invader that intended to capture humans for experimentation. The character can only say the repeated line "I am Groot", but has different meaning. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor and Rocket Raccoon are able to understand him.

The character was reintroduced as a heroic, noble being in 2006, and appeared in the crossover comic book storyline "Annihilation: Conquest". Groot went on to star in its spin-off series, Guardians of the Galaxy, joining the team of the same name. Groot has been featured in a variety of associated Marvel merchandise, including animated television series, toys and trading cards. Vin Diesel voices Groot, "baby" Groot, and "teen" Groot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019), and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), while Krystian Godlewski played the character via performance capture in the first film. Baby Groot returns for the Disney+ short form show I Am Groot. Fred Tatasciore voices Groot on the Disney California Adventure ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout. Diesel will return to voice the character in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023). Diesel also voiced Groot as a cameo in the 2018 Disney animated film Ralph Breaks the Internet. Since his film premiere and animated series debut, Groot has become a pop culture icon, with his repeated line "I am Groot" becoming an Internet meme.

 * Groot (in his "Baby Groot" state from Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout) appears as in Marvel's Spider-Man: Webbed Champion, voiced by Jessica DiCicco. He appears in "Road to the Legendary Universes", on which he overhears of Spider-Man's recent victories, and his relationship with Mary Jane Watson / Tigra (whom Groot also met after Spider-Man's first battle against Venom), and visits Earth for the pleasure of meeting Spider-Man's teammates the Champions. After teaming up with Spider-Man and his allies in defeating Man-Wolf and the supervillains seeking the Siege Perilous, Groot officially joins the Champions as a new member, although he will still be associated with the Guardians of the Galaxy. In the crossover arc "Legendary Universes", Groot and the Champions join Spider-Man's journey across the dimensions where the Parker Projects originated from. He is among the team members who join the trip in "Part 2: Webs of the Force", where Spider-Man and his team join forces with Rey Skywalker and the New Jedi Alliance in defeating Captain Phasma and the Dark Nation. Groot primarily partnered with Chewbacca in the episode.
 * Groot returns as a main character in A Marvel Christmas Carol, voiced again by Jessica DiCicco. Following the events of Spider-Man: Webbed Champion, Groot is still a member of Spider-Man's team of the Champions, and still associated to the Guardians of the Galaxy. Groot is also shown to have become close friends with Jack Thompson and Cassie Lang. He is first seen with the Champions battling Frost Giants in New York before helping prepare the Christmas party at the main F.E.A.S.T. Shelter. Later, after overhearing of Vincent Dawson's poor condition, Groot joins Spider-Man on his plan to reform Vincent's abusive boss Franklin Todd with help from Doctor Strange. He is turned into a friendly Christmas Sprite who accompanies Cassie (in her alias of the Ghost of Christmas Past) in guiding Todd to the events of his past life, and eventually return to reality once they are done. Later in the epilogue, Groot is shown enjoying the Christmas party along with the featured heroes. He is later urged by Teresa Parker (who is shown whispering in his ears) into growing a mistletoe between Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson, getting them to share a kiss.
 * Groot (still in his "Baby Groot" state) returns in the Disney+ TV movie Marvel's Superhero Adventures: Infinity War (a sequel to A Marvel Christmas Carol), voiced again by Jessica DiCicco. Throughout the film, Groot (despite being on his toddler state) is shown to have evolved some of his plant-based abilities, on which he became stronger and able to generate plant-based wings (similar to Swamp Thing in DC Comics). He is also shown to have become very close friends with Teresa Parker, as first shown when they were enjoying a play-date with other children in Aunt May's home.
 * Groot returns in the Disney+ follow-up/sequel miniseries Marvel's All-Star Multiverse, voiced again by DiCicco.
 * A version of Groot is a main character in The Amazing Avengers. While still a humanoid tree, this version developed weather-based abilities after proving himself worthy of wielding the mystical hammer Mjolnir (which once belonged to the deceased Asgardian Prince and Thunderer Thor). He has a bond of friendship with Mary Jane Watson / Captain Marvel, who is able to understand his native language. He later became a member of the Avengers led by Peter Parker / Captain America.
 * A version of Groot is featured in Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2. This version is a former inhabitant and survivor of Asgard. He is Thor's closest friend and once proved himself worthy of wielding Mjolnir. He was given the Uru sword Stormbreaker, a double-edged sword which had similar attributes and capabilities to those of Mjolnir. He is also a mentor and friend to Spider-Man and his friends, who are able to understand his native language (on which Groot is only heard saying "I am Groot."). He is married with She-Hulk (who is also able to understand), with whom he has three children, and is occasional partners with Rocket Raccoon.
