Guardians of the Galaxy is finally revealing the mystery behind Groot's turn to villainy, with each member of the team feeling responsible in some way or another. Since the series latest run began, Groot's role as antagonist has loomed over the heroes as he consumes planets, galaxies, and people wherever he turns.
Groot's evil arc in Guardians of the Galaxy has already come to an end with a surprising reversal, as the series clarifies that he was never a villain to begin with.
Groot was the last of his kind once Ronan's army had erased the Flora colossus, however Groot was able to save the World Pod within himself, which he could use to recreate the Flora colossus race by planting it in the sacred pool. Groot used World Pod during the Guardians battle with Thanos, which rendered it useless.
(Yes, Star-Lord and the minion both get crushed by Groot off-screen, but it was such a badass scene from Star-Lord). At that point, that is how Groot becomes KING GROOT in secret Wars!
We're meant to believe that Groot transcends the laws of nature by absorbing wood, acting as a monster with consciousness and generally behaving in manners that do not apply to trees as we know them. Yet Groot's weakness is actually termites.
Groot is a 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 the stiffness of their larynxes, causing their speech to sound like they are repeating the phrase "I am Groot".
Towards the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe sequel, Groot says, “I love you guys” — a departure from his usual dialogue of “I am Groot.” James Gunn has confirmed that this isn't actually Groot vocalizing the words “I love you guys,” but rather, the moment signifies that the audience has spent enough time with the ...
How does Gravik get Groot's powers in Secret Invasion? Though not yet confirmed, it seems like Gravik will get Groot's powers by using the Guardians of the Galaxy hero's harvested DNA. In the show's trailer, Gravik can be seen wielding powers that are very similar to Groot's.
Hulk triumphs, but it's more thanks to his tactics than superior strength, first uprooting Groot by attacking the ground, then using a boulder to fend off his powers and smash him to pieces.
As we all saw at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy when Groot heroically turns into a wooden roll cage and sacrifices himself for his fellow teammates, he can grow back from almost anything. So long as there's some good soil and a pot around, he is basically immortal.
Groot entered the battle against the time-traveling Thanos alongside his allies from Wakanda. Groot and the others bought Iron Man enough time to use the Infinity Stones to expel the invading forces, but he lost his life in the process.
Groot's language is known to Thor, but he's likely just calling Groot “tree” by his looks rather than his name. In the comics, Groot's actual full name is “His Divine Majesty King Groot the 23rd, Monarch of Planet X, custodian of the branch worlds, ruler of all the shades.”
He claims to hate hats because of situations where "one minute you think someone has a weird-shaped head, the next minute you realize part of that head is a hat." That one line itself is enough to give Baby Groot's other eccentricities a run for their money.
As a Flora colossus from Planet X, Groot's language is nearly impossible to comprehend due to the inflexibility of his larynx, resulting in his dialogue consisting of solely one phrase.
We last saw Groot continuing his journey with the Guardians, now a bit more mature and bulky. The Skrulls likely were able to obtain Groot's DNA through some left-over detached branches during his time on Earth during either Infinity War or Endgame.
2, the anthropomorphic tree-man Groot is no longer the towering, full-sized version voiced by Vin Diesel in the first film, but rather a pint-sized pipsqueak known as Baby Groot. This is because [clears throat for spoilers] according to writer and director James Gunn, the Groot we knew is dead.
Gunn said in a now-deleted tweet that Baby Groot "drops about 50 f-bombs in Guardians 2." They can't be heard since Groot only says, "I am Groot," which is how the director was able to get away with so many uses of the F-word without the movie being rated R.
When the Gardener is defeated, he uses his powers to restore Groot to his full-grown self, and Groot is able to speak English - though he refers to himself in third person.
This is a very simple answer that a lot of people don't understand: You don't need to be worthy to lift Stormbreaker! Unlike Mjolnir, Stormbreaker was never enchanted by the forefathers to only be held by the “worthy”. It was simply a powerfully forged weapon with near-indestructible properties.
But one godly connection might technically give one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes an unlikely brother. The revelations about Phoenix and Gaea in Avengers 1,000,000 BC #1 (by Jason Aaron, Kev Walker, Dean White, and VC's Cory Petit) suggest that Thor might actually be brothers with Groot of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Groot is a Flora collosus who was the prophesized hero of Drez-Lar and the accomplice of Rocket Raccoon. Together, the pair had traveled the galaxy picking up bounties until they met Star-Lord and Gamora just before the four of them were captured and put into the Kyln, where they also met Drax the Destroyer.
