Other references to the song were featured in Rocket 's appearance in The Incredible Hulk # 271 ( May 1982 ), which was titled `` Now Somewhere In the Black Holes of Sirius Major There Lived a Young Boy Named Rocket Raccoon '' and saw the Hulk help Rocket stop a villain trying to steal `` Gideon 's Bible '', which in the Marvel Universe was a book that contained the sum of all knowledge on the Loonies colony. Rocket Raccoon first appeared in Marvel Preview # 7 ( Summer 1976 ), in the back - up feature `` The Sword in the Star '', under the name `` Rocky ''. He would next appear in The Incredible Hulk # 271 ( May 1982 ), where it is learned that `` Rocky '' is short for `` Rocket ''. In 1985, he received his own four - issue limited series and in an afterword to the first issue, Mantlo himself asserted that this was the same character seen in Preview, penciled by Mike Mignola and inked by Al Gordon with Al Milgrom. Rocket appeared in Quasar # 15 in 1990 and later appeared in three issues of Sensational She - Hulk in 1992 ( # 44 - 46 ). The character only appeared in a total of ten comic books in his first thirty years of existence. Besides a brief appearance in a 2006 issue of Exiles, Rocket Raccoon was next seen in 2007 's Annihilation : Conquest and Annihilation : Conquest - Star - Lord limited series, and their spin - off series, a new volume of Guardians of the Galaxy. He remained a regular member of the series cast until it was canceled with issue # 25 in 2010, also appearing in the follow - up limited series The Thanos Imperative. Along with fellow Guardian Groot, Rocket starred in backup features in Annihilators # 1 - 4 ( March -- June 2011 ) and Annihilators : Earthfall # 1 - 4 ( Sept. -- Dec. 2011 ). Rocket Raccoon, along with the other members of the Guardians, appeared in issues # 4 - 8 of Avengers Assemble, a series intended as a jumping - on point for fans of the film The Avengers. He appears prominently in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3, a part of the 2012 Marvel NOW ! relaunch. In February 2014, it was announced that Skottie Young will be the writer and artist for a Rocket Raccoon ongoing series. The series began in July 2014, with the first issue selling over 300,000 copies. Jake Parker replaced Young as the artist beginning with issue # 5. The series ended in May 2015 as one of many titles to be cancelled for Marvel 's Secret Wars event. A new volume, titled Rocket Raccoon and Groot, began in January 2016 as part of the All - New, All - Different Marvel relaunch. Fictional character biography Rocket Raccoon # 1 ( May 1985 ). Cover art by Mike Mignola and Al Gordon. Rocket Raccoon acts as the `` Guardian of the Keystone Quadrant '', an area of outer space sealed off from the rest of the cosmos by the so - called Galacian Wall. Rocket is captain of the starship Rack ' n ' Ruin, and he and his first mate Wal Rus ( a talking walrus ) come from the planet Halfworld in the Keystone Quadrant, an abandoned colony for the mentally ill where the animal companions were genetically manipulated to grant them human level intelligence and bipedal body construction for many to become caretakers of the inmates. Rocket was Halfworld 's chief law officer ( `` ranger '' ) who protected the colony against various threats. At one point, Judson Jakes tried to steal the Halfworld Bible, but was thwarted by Rocket and various animal associates. Later, Lord Dyvyne abducted Rocket 's friend Lylla, and Jakes began the Toy War. As the Toy War continued, Blackjack O'Hare teamed up with Rocket, and Rocket was reunited with Lylla. The Rack ' n ' Ruin was soon destroyed, as Judson Jakes and Lord Dyvyne teamed up to kill Rocket Raccoon. Rocket Raccoon and his friends cured the Loonies of their mental illnesses, as Judson Jakes and Lord Dyvyne were apparently killed. Rocket and the animals as well as the robots left Halfworld and took off into space for their own adventures. Some time later, Rocket was revealed to have been a laboratory subject on the Stranger 's planet, and escaped his captivity there. Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket Raccoon resurfaced as a member of the team chosen to accompany Star - Lord on his mission to stop a Phalanx infiltration of the Kree homeworld. Rocket is depicted as a gifted military tactician who is fearless, loyal, and insightful. It is heavily implied that he has a case of obsessive compulsive disorder. Rocket 's trademark rocket skates are absent. Rocket joins the new Guardians of the Galaxy at the behest of his friend Star - Lord. It is he who suggests that the team adopt that moniker after hearing it mentioned by Major Victory. Later, when the team almost disbands and Peter Quill ( Star - Lord ) disappears ( sent into the Negative Zone by Ronan ), Rocket keeps the team alive, and brings in Groot as member, as they had become firm friends. Rocket takes over as leader until they rescue Peter and save the Earth from an alien invasion. When the team tries to halt the growing War of Kings, Rocket leads the portion of the team assigned to make contact with the Shi'ar. They are unable to teleport into the Emperor Vulcan 's flagship and have to be rescued by the Starjammers and Rocket 's old friend Ch'od. They are able to bring back the rightful queen of the Shi'ar, but she is killed after Rocket departs, much to his horror. After the Guardians disband, Rocket Raccoon takes up a normal job with Timely Inc. He and Groot were reunited and tricked into returning to Halfworld : there, he found that his memories of the place were mostly half - truths and deliberately crafted fake memories. In reality, Jakes and Blackjack O'Hare had worked with Rocket in providing security at Halfworld Asylum for the Criminally Insane ; Doctor Dyvyne had been Head of Psychology there ; and both the anthropomorphic animals and the automaton clowns were deliberately created to work at the asylum, as their appearance would calm the inmates. The crises that Rocket half - remembered had been caused by the psychic supervillain the Star Thief, who had been admitted as an inmate and used his psychic powers to turn the inhabitants against each other. Rocket had turned the warders into a biological `` key '' to keep Star - Thief locked up, and deliberately altered his mind and left Halfworld so it could never be opened - but he was tricked into returning by the Thief, whose mind had escaped into the asylum after his host body died. When the Guardians of the Galaxy title was relaunched in 2013, Rocket was again a member of the team. In the first issue of Secret Wars, the Guardians of the Galaxy take part in the incursion between Earth - 616 and Earth - 1610, in which Rocket and Groot are killed by the Children of Tomorrow. All - new, all - Different Marvel As part of the All - New, All - Different Marvel, Rocket Raccoon takes leadership of the Guardians of the Galaxy while Star - Lord was busy handling things on Spartax. Powers and abilities Rocket Raccoon possesses the normal attributes of an Earth raccoon, including speed ( which has been additionally amplified by his training ), and an acute sense of smell, sight, hearing and touch. Sharp claws allow him to scale walls, buildings, and trees with ease. He is an accomplished starship pilot, a brilliant engineer and technician, and an expert marksman with the two laser pistols he carries as well as having an affinity for heavy weapons. He is a master military tactician and leader, attributes that help him take charge of the Guardians of the Galaxy when Star - Lord is unavailable.

An adaptation of the character appears in the live - action Marvel Studios film Guardians of the Galaxy, portrayed by Sean Gunn via motion capture and voiced by Bradley Cooper. His real name in the film is 89P13. In addition to being genetically altered, Rocket is shown to have cybernetic implants within his body. He is only referred to as Rocket in the film, and asks `` What 's a Raccoon ? '' when told of his resemblance to the animal by Peter Quill. He serves as the team 's pilot and technical expert, providing the weapon that Quill uses against Ronan the Accuser in the final confrontation and piloting a Ravager ship in the final assault against Ronan 's fleet. Rocket also displays a talent for engineering jailbreaks. Having previously escaped from 22 prisons, he devises and executes a scheme to free his eventual teammates from a Nova Corps prison. Screenwriter Nicole Perlman has stated that early drafts of the film did not include the character due to `` a little bit of a fear that he would come across as cartoonish because he 's a raccoon. '' Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was persuaded to approve Rocket 's inclusion in the film. A live raccoon named `` Oreo '' was used on set to help animators accurately capture the motion and behaviors of it for their CGI model. Director James Gunn took Oreo to the film 's European premiere. Cooper and Gunn reprised their roles for Rocket in the sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, released in 2017. In the film, he causes the team to get chased by the Sovereign after stealing their anulax batteries. He is left on the planet where they crash landed ( as a result of him and Quill fighting over the controls ) to guard Nebula with Baby Groot after the rest explore Ego 's planet. When captured by the Ravagers, Rocket and Yondu bond over their similarities and manage to escape the ship alongside Groot and Yondu 's right - hand man Kraglin. They assist the other Guardians in combating Ego 's forces. When Yondu stay behind to save Quill from the planet 's destruction, Rocket gives him equipment and welcomes him as a member of the Guardians. He is saddened by Yondu 's sacrifice in the climax. Running gags throughout the film include Rocket repeatedly being mistaken for different animals, angered when called a raccoon, and criticized for his rude behavior. Cooper and Gunn reprise their role in the film Avengers : Infinity War. In this film, Rocket joins with Groot and Thor in helping to forge Thor 's new weapon Stormbreaker. In addition, Rocket Raccoon helps provide Thor a prosthetic eye to replace the one that he lost in his fight with Hela. He later joins other Avengers and Groot on Earth in the battle of Wakanda. After Thanos wipes out half the universe, Rocket is the only remaining Guardian left alive on Earth, with Nebula surviving on Titan. A running gag throughout the film is Thor referring to Rocket as `` rabbit.
