Rocket Raccoon (Marvel Cinematic Universe)/Synopsis

The story of Rocket Raccoon from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
==Past==
Rocket started out as an ordinary raccoon, until he was painfully tested on and operated upon by scientists without anesthetics and gained speaking abilities. Those experiments were described by Rocket himself as having to be torn apart and put together over and over. He was then named 89P13, and was a part of section 89. He met the rest of the group, Lylla, named 89Q12, Teefs, and Floor, quickly becoming friends with them. The High Evolutionary then explained that one day, he would let Rocket and the rest of section 89 live on Counter-Earth. He also showed Rocket that he could speed up a creatures evolution in seconds, but they kept coming out violent and angry thanks to a high concentration of certain proteins. So Rocket pointed out how the machine could be modified to stop making such proteins, causing the High Evolutionary to become furiously jealous of Rocket's intelligence. 
While back in section 89, Lylla, Teefs, Floor, and Rocket all named themselves and promised each other that they would all fly the rockets Rocket saw the other day when they would be free. Then, the High Evolutionary showed Rocket how the machine was now working perfectly. But he betrayed Rocket, stating he wasn’t good enough for the new world due to having to utilize cybernetics in their creation process, so he and the rest of section 89 would be incinerated. To save his friends, he built a replica key card, and got Lylla out. Unfortunately, the High Evolutionary was well aware of the break out, and shot Lylla. Heartbroken, Rocket started crying over her death. The High Evolutionary, utterly remorseless, would mock Rocket's grief by telling him he won "the crying competition", enraging him so much he mauls his face beyond repair. Floor and Teefs were killed in the crossfire between Rocket and the guards. With nobody to confide in or a place to call home, Rocket then escaped by himself, and became the outlaw he was today.
Rocket eventually met Groot and the both of them became bounty hunters seeking to earn money, usually through illegal means such as theft, to sustain themselves. Because of this criminal lifestyle, he had frequent run-ins with the law and was imprisoned on several occasions, but had managed to escape confinement every time. His search for money would lead him to Xandar where he first met Peter Quill (Star-Lord).
==Guardians of the Galaxy==
The two mercenaries cross paths with human outlaw Peter Quill, in order to collect the bounty on his head. However, after learning of a great intergalactic threat, Rocket and Groot join up with Quill and two others, Drax the Destroyer and Gamora, the reluctant adoptive daughter of the evil Thanos to gave the Orb to The Collector have a bounty of 3000. 00 before Ronan the Accuser can use it to destroy Xandar and the galaxy, after they escaped from prison they start to travel with Quill's ship Milano.

==Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2==
Rocket is the tritagonist of the film and overall one of the film's primary protagonists. The Guardians became famous for the heroism, and were employed by the Sovereign to take down the Abilisk, since it was eating their batteries. On the planet, Rocket set up music so they could listen, and were able to defeat the creature by distracting it, and Gamora cutting its neck.
Rocket stole their batteries, and got Nebula as their payment, and were later chased by the Sovereign after they learned of the theft. The Guardians were able to escape, and crashed on Berhert, and met Star-Lord's father, Ego, and his assistant Mantis. Rocket and Groot were left to repair the ship, and watch Nebula as the others went with Ego to his place. The duo set a trap for the Ravagers, but were captured due to Nebula knocking out Yondu (who had been captured by the mutiny of Taserface).
The group were captured by Taserface's Ravager clan, and the raccoon mocked his name, causing the entire crew to laugh at him. Groot was ordered to get Yondu's arrow controller, and the trio escape with Kraglin, and Taserface was later killed (but was able to give a distress call to the Sovereign). After learning of Ego was a living planet, the trio went to rescue the others from the cosmic being. After a lengthy battle that cost Yondu's life, Ego was defeated, and the Guardians welcomed Mantis as a member of the team. After Yondu's funeral, the Guardians celebrated, and continued their trek across the galaxy.
===Avengers: Infinity War===
Hearing a distress call from the Statesman, the Guardians recover Thor Odinson, who informs them of Thanos' plans, and him destroying Xandar. Thor demands that he be given transport so that he could travel to Nidavellir, a dwarf world where the are powerful weapons. Rocket, Groot, and Thor go the world, and met the dwarf Eitri, and aided the Norse God in creating Stormbreaker.
The trio were transported to Earth amidst the battle of Wakanda, and Rocket meets White Wolf, asking how much for his vibranium arm. Rocket and White Wolf defeated countless waves of outriders, and the last two Black Order members were killed by the Avengers. Thanos teleported to Wakanda, and was successful in collecting all of the infinity stones. After snapping his fingers, the decimation began to take in effect. In horror, Rocket saw Groot dissolve in dust, and accepted defeat alongside the survivors.
==Avengers: Endgame==
Rocket is first seen reuniting with Nebula after Captain-Marvel rescues both Nebula and Iron-Man from the Benatar. Rocket is with the remaining Avengers explaining to Tony why Thor is very depressed and down. Rocket later helps track down the location of Thanos so they can undo the snap. Once the assault on Thanos goes successfully and the gauntlet is off, Rocket rolls it and sees that the stones are missing, with Thanos saying that the stones were destroyed. Rocket along the other heroes failed undoing the snap while Thanos was killed by a vengeful Thor.
5 years later, both Rocket and Nebula were part of the remaining few heroes who still helped out life harmed by the snap and made sure everyone was doing well and recovering. Rocket was recalled back to Earth to join the time heist and bring everybody back. Rocket was sent along with Hulk to recruit a now overweight and drunk Thor, and Rocket managed to convince Thor by telling him there was plenty of beer. Rocket was sent along with Thor to 2013 Asgard and get the Aether (Reality Stone) from Jane Foster. While Thor ran off to tearfully reunite with Frigga, Rocket went off and managed to sneak up and steal the Aether. Rocket quickly alerted Thor that he got the stone and they traveled back to 2023. 
The time heist succeeded in collecting all the 6 Infinity Stones and making a new Infinity Gauntlet and Hulk used the gauntlet to bring back all the people killed from 5 years ago. However, Thanos and the Sanctuary 2 bombed the avengers facility trapping Rocket as well as War Machine and Hulk into a pile of flooding rubble. Hulk managed to hold up the rubble just in time for Ant-Man to rescue them. Rocket fought Thanos and his forces and later attended the funeral for Tony Stark. Rocket reunited with the rest of the guardians of the galaxy and flew off along with Thor to a new adventure.
==Thor: Love and Thunder==
With Thor, Korg and Kraglin Obfonteri joining the Guardians, Rocket participates in their adventures such as helping the god of thunder lose weight. After helping Thor fight the Booskans on Indigarr, they answered the distress call of Sif, informing the group that Gorr the God Butcher was killing gods across the galaxy. Learning this, Thor and Korg left the team, having a farewell with the Guardians before departing.
==The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special==
Trying to fix Knowhere, Rocket had Cosmo use her telekinesis to move objects. Later, Mantis had Rocket dress up for a Christmas party. Peter Quill stepped out and was very happy to see the holiday. However, his mood changed when he saw that they kidnapped Kevin Bacon. Rocket remarked that it was a good gift because Quill had everything, but a human being.
Mantis then removed the mind control from Bacon, who was very scared. Rocket tried to calm Bacon down, saying they were not going to hurt him. When Bacon pointed Rocket out as a talking Raccoon, Rocket became enraged and tried to lunge at Bacon, threatening to kill him, but is grabbed by Groot. When Bacon calmed down, he decided to join them and celebrate. During the celebration, Nebula dropped a present at Rocket's feet. Rocket opened it, amazed to see Bucky Barnes' Prosthetic Arm. He thanked Nebula graciously. When the day was over, Rocket and the rest hugged Bacon.
==Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3==
The movie begins with Rocket listening to music on Peter's walkman as he strolls through Knowhere. He walks into Peter who, in a drunken rage, attacks Rocket for taking his stuff again. However, Peter collapses from his alcohol overdose and is hauled back to his bed by Nebula. While relaxing by himself, Rocket notices a burst of light in the distance, which quickly reveals itself to be the Sovereign warrior Adam Warlock. Adam attacks Rocket and throws him through several houses, injuring him and triggering the attention of the Guardians, who attempt to fend Adam off. However in the process Adam manages to blast Rocket in the chest, injuring him. Although Nebula manages to force Adam to retreat by impaling him in the back, Rocket is left gravely injured and when the Guardians attempt to heal him with a Med-Pack, he begins experiencing violent seizures which start to kill him.
Back on the ship, the Guardians realise that Rocket has a kill switch embedded to his heart that stops him from being healed and if not deactivated, would kill him in 48 hours. Feeling remorse for not being there to stop Adam earlier, Peter decides to lead the Guardians to find a way to stop the kill switch and sets out to find ones who created Rocket: Orgocorp. In the meantime, Rocket remains in a comatose state aboard the ship and dreams about his past.
With the help of Gamora and the Ravagers, Peter and the Guardians successfully infiltrate Orgocorp and, after a few close shaves with the Orgosentries, escape with Rocket's file. However, they discover that the code for the kill switch was deleted from the file and was uploaded into the head computer of one of the High Evolutionary's henchmen, the Recorder Theel. They manage to track down Theel to the planet Counter Earth where, with some help from the local Animen, Peter, Nebula and Groot went to the High Evolutionary's spaceship to find him while Drax, Gamora and Mantis guard the ship. 
However, Drax and Mantis leave to try and assist Peter while Gamora, feeling bored of keeping up with the Guardians' antics, tries to call the Ravagers but accidentally leads Ayesha and Adam to her location after they steal a Ravager's communication device. One of the High Evolutionary's Recorders Vim also sends out the Hellspawn War Pig to retrieve Rocket from the ship, which she almost succeeds in doing until Adam arrives intent of claiming the raccoon for himself to save his race from the Evolutionary's punishment. Adam manages to kill War Pig but Gamora also drives him off the ship and keep Rocket safe. Just then, thanks to Peter pointing out the flaws of Counter-Earth, the High Evolutionary begins to take off in his spaceship and destroy the planet's inhabitants, killing Ayesha and forcing Gamora to board the ship and escape the destruction. With Peter and Groot escaping the Evolutionary's ship and claiming Theel's computer, they escape with Gamora from Counter-Earth. 
With the off-code in hand, Peter and his friends begin the procedure to turn off Rocket's kill switch. However, the upload takes too long and he flatlines, leaving Peter distraught as he attempts to perform CPR on his best friend. Meanwhile, Rocket finds himself in a bizarre, limbo like realm where he encounters Lyla, Teefs and Floor. A guilt-ridden Rocket apologises to them for getting them killed, to which Lyla consoles him and assures him that as promised, the three of them have been enjoying the sky in the afterlife and flying spaceships like Rocket wanted to. When Rocket asks to join them however, Lyla tells him that he still has a purpose and that it didn't matter that the High Evolutionary made him but what he used with his powers. With that, Rocket shares a final embrace with Lyla before Peter, successfully reviving him, returns back to the world of the living, where the off-code is successfully uploaded and turns off the kill-switch. 
Rocket embraces with his friends and, noticing an incoming call from Nebula, realises that she, Drax and Mantis are now stranded on the High Evolutionary's ship, Arête Labs after they thought Peter and Groot were still inside. Nebula also informs them that many children are also trapped within the ship alongside them. However, the High Evolutionary arrives, and, incapacitating the trio, gives Peter and the other Guardians an ultimatum: if they don't return Rocket to him, he will kill the three hostages. The Guardians gear up to save their friends so Peter, contacting Kraglin, gets him to fly in the entirety of Knowhere to Arête Labs while the rest of them take smaller ships from the main ship to engage the Evolutionary. With Kraglin punching a hole in the ship's defenses, the trio dodge the swarms of Hellspawn and Adam and arrive on the ship, where they reunite with Drax, Nebula, Mantis and the Abilisks the latter had tamed. Together, the Guardians drive back the Hellspawn aboard and get to work freeing the High Evolutionary's test subjects, with Nebula connecting herself to the lab and steering it close enough to Knowhere that the Guardians' dog, Cosmo, can form a psychic bridge to allow the test subjects on board. 
As he helps with evacuating the test subjects, Rocket stumbles upon a room full of caged animals, including one filled with baby racoons and finally realises that he himself is one. He becomes determined to free all the animals but before he can do anything an enraged High Evolutionary enters and begins attacking Rocket violently and aggressively, screaming at him and calling him by his serial designation. Rocket, however, manages to withstand his attacks and, announcing his new name as Rocket Raccoon, arms himself and strikes back, blasting his creator to the ground. The other Guardians arrive and subdue the High Evolutionary, leaving him beaten and defeated with Gamora peeling off his mask and revealing the damage Rocket did to his face. As the High Evolutionary lies on the ground, he claims that all he ever wanted was to perfect the universe, which Rocket rebukes as the High Evolutionary just hated the way things the way they were. Drax encourages Rocket to kill the Evolutionary, but he refuses as he wants to save the animals, leading Drax to take the Evolutionary along as a captive. With the animals free, Rocket and the subjects board Knowhere just as the bridge begins to collapse. Peter drops his walkman and attempts to retrieve it, but just as he does, the ship explodes and he's sent into the freezing void of space where he begins to die. Fortunately Adam, who reformed after being shown Drax's mercy, steps in and brings Peter back to he safety of the Celesial head where he recovers. 
With their journey at their end, the Guardians bid farewell to Gamora who rejoins the Ravagers. Back at their base, Peter informs the Guardians of some bad news: he will be leaving the Guardians to retire for a life on Earth, hoping that his reconciliation with Gamora will help him reconcile with his grandfather. Mantis also announces that she's leaving with the Abilisks for a journey of self-discovery, while Nebula and Drax are going to be busy looking after the High Evolutionary's subjects and helping them live happily. Rocket is aghast at the news of the Guardians' end until Peter announces that he is appointing Rocket as the new captain. Thankful for this new role, Rocket bids his former partners farewell, receiving Peter's Zune as a parting gift and with that, he and Groot celebrate their new success with the rest of Knowhere's inhabitants. 
In the deleted scene, Rocket locked up the High Evolutionary into a high security cell. 
Sometime later, Rocket has assembled a new band of Guardians, consisting of himself, Groot, Kraglin, Adam and one of the High Evolutionary's children Phyla. As they prepare to protect a remote village from marauding aliens, Phyla remarks that she feels sorry for the assailants, to which Rocket replies that as the villagers can't defend themselves, they have to step in to help. With the herds of aliens approaching, Rocket plays on of Peter's favorite songs "Come and get your love" as the team readies for battle.
