The Main Man

This is not really even fair at all.

@thanofleeze: Really? Why?

@venomoustaco: Lobo gives Superman a really hard time. Groot couldn't even compete with grey hulk.

@thanofleeze: I think you're seriously underestimating Groot, especially in a forest, but if you insist, I'll add Rocket Racoon and prep to even the odds.

Im gonna need some proof that groot can hang before i say this isnt a MISMATCH.

Lobo

Lobo super easily

Team.

@wolfrazer: @demonknights: @experio: @zmasonite: Reasons anyone?

@venomoustaco: More or less Superman lvl strength and a ridiculous healing factor, to say the least..

@venomoustaco: Well for one, Rocket is one of the top strategists in Marvel, planning a few times in saving the universe, among other things. Has greater tech than Tony and I could see him coming up with a plan and or building something to at the minimum to incapacitate Lobo, considering that he was about to do that to Thanos(and he didn't really have prep for that, he can think rather quickly).

With Groot helping out, I don't see why they can't take down Lobo at the least being able to KO him.

The 2nd round, I don't see how Lobo is gonna put down Groot considering the latter is in an environment which greatly benefits him.

But @tparks can tell ya more.

It's not all rainforest over here... so racist... lol =P

@thanofleeze: Umm, I never gave indication of that. Lol. I just wanted a rainforest/jungle like the one in the Predator movie.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Groots consciousness can me moved into dupes ect that will just allow him to keep going. with all the trees ect he should be able to keep lobo busy until rocket can figure out a way to KO his for a bit.

Round 1. The team might take it

Round 2. Lobo

Not a stomp but Lobo should win both rounds. Team has more of a chance in round 1.

The f*ck? Lobo has Moon busting cannons...

He stomps them to death with or without prep

@ancient_0f_days: I'm pretty sure he doesn't have his bike in round 1 which is what I was referring to guy.

Why couldn't he get his bike for prep?

Lobo wins, regardless.

You need to be clear about pre-52 Lobo. Is this the one who can make forms of himself with a single drop of blood? Then hell no, Groot and Raccoon get stomped with ease.

Even without that, this is an uphill struggle. Did Pre-52 Lobo have any true clear weakness? Because sitting here now, I can't think of any that would really benefit Raccoon.

@monsterstomp: Idk. OP didn't specify like he did for Round 2. But if he does get his bike, he wins. Like I said in my first post.

This. Rocket has some very impressive tech. And Groot has insane strength and durability, don't know where people get the notion he's some pushover.

Lobo wins both rounds.

He's actually surprisingly smart and cunning.

Why couldn't he get his moon busting canon for prep, sure he'd be KOed by it, but they'd be dead

@ancient_0f_days: Then it's a tie! lol Doesn't Rocket have a ship of his own? Who's to say he can't use his as well?

Lobo

Lobo stomps

Lobo. Team can't put him down.

Team wins

Lobo.

@wolfrazer said:

Exactly what wolfrazer said. Rocket having 24 hours of prep, is at least 23 hours more then he usually gets. There's no reason he couldn't weaponize Knowhere and blow the Death Star out of the sky. That is something I could definitely see him doing in character.

Round 2 is Groot's for an easy win. He has an entire forest that can be his army or make him more powerful, although he doesn't even need to absorb wood to become powerful anymore, so that is just icing on the cake.

He is powerful enough to summon trees to make a webbing an transport an entire village across the galaxy to his home planet. This is the youngest and therefore weakest Groot has ever been seen in comics too (besides the latest short that was in the double sized issue that recently came out).

And I'm not sure if Lobo is going to be able to hurt him enough to do anything. Groot has tanked blows from Thanos on two separate occasions and comes out with no damage. He's a little rattled in the scan below, but other then that, he's fine. Lobo doesn't pack near as much of a punch as Thanos either. Current Groot is even more powerful then this as well.

Lobo.

Lobo both round and it isn't close. Lobo has better tech and better stats and more abilities.

@tparks: @ancient_0f_days: Nice scans, both of you... But y'all seem to have different opinions. Who wins?

At best, this is a stalemate for Lobo, because I don't know how he can put Groot down. Thanos is unable to put Groot down. There has yet to be anything to do any serious damage to Groot, because he can instantly regrow from it. He used to have to take root and soak water or wood to regrow, but he no longer requires that like here:

Also, Rocket is very durable. He's tanked shots from Gladiator and Starhawk. His suit gives him a pretty high level superhuman durability. The scan below, him and Groot are speed blitzed by Gladiator, but take no significant damage.

@tparks: On top of Rocket being an agile little guy.

Ok I'm convinced, I'm going Groot and Rocket

That always helps.

Lobo oneshots them with a moon busting gun

Lobo easily

Lobo should win, but I'm not sure if he can actually down Groot for good.

...bump

Lobo

Bumpity bump !!

Team Takes This
