Halfworlders

Halfworlders are a caste of genetically and cybernetically augmented animals who were experimented on by High Evolutionary and kept on Halfworld, also known as Counter-Earth.
==History==
===Creation===
Halfworld, officially known as Counter-Earth, is a planet located within the Keystone Quadrant. The planet is home to animals who have undergone genetic and cybernetic augmentations from the High Evolutionary, who took them from various planets in the universe, including Earth. The first 89 batches of experimentees of the High Evolutionary are referred to as Halfworlders, and has appearance closely resembling their original species. However, this species was not intended to inhabit the promised utopia of Counter-Earth as the Halfworlders are simply seen as a step towards evolution.
A raccoon genetically engineered by the High Evolutionary, codenamed P13 of Batch 89, successfully discovered the key to evolving lower lifeforms to peaceful humanoid creatures without making these animals become violent in the evolution process, prompting the High Evolutionary to replace Halfworlders with the new Humanimals. As the Halfworlders are no longer useful to the High Evolutionary, he ordered all previous 89 batches of Halfworlders to be incinerated.Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
===Sole Survivor===
89P13 discovered High Evolutionary's deception and planned to rescue his friends and escape. However, all other members of Batch 89 were killed in the standoff, with P13 being the sole survivor of the Halfworlders, who brutally attacked the High Evolutionary and escaped shortly after. Calling himself Rocket, he became a freelance mercenary alongside the Flora colossus known as Groot, before becoming a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and later joining the Avengers.Avengers: Endgame
