Rocket Raccoon

No Caption Provided

VS

Guardians of the Galaxy

No Caption Provided
  • Star-Lord
  • Gamora
  • Drax
  • Groot
  • Bug - I know Angela's in the picture, but I miss Bug :(

Rules

  • Rocket can use any weapons he's ever used besides Number Six Special and the Rampart Arms Phasic Cannon (mech he held Thanos up with)
  • Guardians get standard equipment
  • If Groot is reduced to splinters, consider him KO'd and unable to grow back for the purposes of this match. He can grow back other lesser damage, just not complete bodily damage. Also, he starts off 15 ft tall (about the size that's in the scan above), but can change size as he sees fit.
  • Win by death or KO
  • Moral on, in character, but Rocket views his team like he does any other enemy, and GotG view Rocket like they would any other enemy.

Location: Knowhere

No Caption Provided

Rocket starts on the opposite side of the head as his team. They know each other's starting locations, but they are not in plain sight to begin.

I was going to say Angela solos, considering how she mostly manhandled the Guardians when she first showed up. But honestly it depends on what of his plethora arsenal Rocket brings. Quill is pretty easy to take down, he could blow up Groot (since splintering counts as a KO), Gamora could be KO'd, and Drax would probably need to be BFR'd or incap'd.

Honestly, he could just might do it...especially considering how well he knows the Guardians and he comes up with all their battle plans.

No. Not even close. Drax was able to kill Thanos, because that's what he was designed to do. It was basically his super power to be able to locate and kill Thanos.

He is currently a low mid-tier character.

I'd actually argue that Drax is probably the least threat out of all of them.

Although, in the next issue of GotG, Drax is supposed to have a fight with Gladiator, so my opinion might change if he all of a sudden is at Gladiator's level.

You mean this fight ? Drax currently is nothing to Gladiator but to Rocket he'd probably win depending on what weapons Rocket has.

Drax. I think rocket could just shoot him, right now. Rocket encountered gladiator and survived getting speedblitz by him so he is pretty good in durability. However Groot is a problem because he knocked out Thanos once. ALthough, rocket can just play keep away and unleash his arsenal. I'm not sure he can totally destroy groot.

Still. I have to admit I don't seeing Rocket have to try and fight his own teammates :/

@granitesoldier: No way would Angela solo. Star-Lord oneshotted her.

That was pretty plot in my opinion considering how she was handling them all prior to that.

To be fair, Rocket could have taken her as well though except he was distracted for Groot's well-being when she cut off his head. Which was also plot because Rocky knows Groot can die from something like that.

@leonkarlen123: No it doesn't. Rocket once built a weapon that blew up a city and unless it's shown in a comic that he can never build a weapon that's more powerful than that then it isn't PIS.

No way Rocket takes his entire team at once.

Individually? Maybe.

But not with Drax and Groot coming at him at once.

Thanos was weakened. Not at full strength. Though, still pretty powerful. And rocket toned the gun down, threatening to paralyze him instead. At full power the blast would have harmed a strong thanos. Even so, rocket consistently fight cosmic level threats that Thanos hulk and gladiator have to expend effort fighting.

Down around at the bottom is the part with thanos

Starlord recruited Rocket Raccoon to the Guardians of the Galaxy to be the tactical and demolitions expert for the team. Starlord claims that Rocket Raccoon is the best strategist he has met in the entire universe. Rocket acts as either Second or First in command for the Guardians of the Galaxy depending on the roster and situation, but is always involved in strategy.

People are down playing Star-Lord here. Remember the guy is one of the most cunning characters in the 616 and his guns are capable of using an entire planet's worth of elements so he's packing just as much ordinance as Rocky.

He did, but that is literally Drax's super power - the ability to kill Thanos. He is basically anti-Thanos. No other character could have replicated that, it had very little to do with strength.

Rocket Raccoon has better weapons then starlord.

Star-Lord's element guns are pretty beastly, they are cable of using an entire planet's worth of elements and he's used them to one shot an asgardian and he even had faith in them hurting Thanos (although he never got to test that)

Going by their last encounter as Drax hasn't got a power upgrade so why would he fair any better ? again calling it pis.

You don't even know how it's going to turn out, are you a prophet now? Can you tell the future? For all you know Drax is just stalling until he's rescued or maybe he has a plan to decrees Glad's confidence and make him weaker or maybe he's just going to let Glads kill him so he can resurrect himself later. Don't just call PIS when you have zero idea what's actually going to happen.

@tparks: drax is still far from a mid-lower level character. His durability is still of the charts and combined with his current 60-70 ton strength and crazy speed/skill/agility (also his weird ability to cut into anything with knives lol) he would be able to take rocket down, and fast. I personally don't think this is a fair fight. Drax is one of the "big guns" of the DnA guardians, according to rocket (along with phyla, adam, gamora)

But if rocket had a week or so of prep I think he could then definitely take down gamora and starlord (maybe groot)

I have a feeling that Drax is going to use his high intelligence to beat him. Drax is supposed to be a very intelligent character since he lost his powers and regained his intellect, but hasn't really been portrayed like that since Bendis took over yet. Hopefully that's the way this goes down.

He's probably 60-70 ton, but he has lacked the feats to really support this, so I never claim him to be above anything but a low mid-tier, if that. He doesn't have a single lifting feat since his power loss. His best strength feat was killing the Cancer-Verse Namor, which would require a high level of strength, but he has only demonstrated that once. He also doesn't really have much to show for durability, since he hasn't displayed it yet, so it's very difficult to determine what Drax can tank, and what would kill/KO him. At this time, Drax still can't really be defined in a specific power level Drax is definitely the least of Rocket's worries on the team. I love Drax, but he is no Groot or Gamora.

I would like to reserve my judgement a bit more until after the Gladiator fight.

Thats what i thought hence why i said he isn't limited to space so marvel doesn't even know their own characters lol,I knew neither would die since Gladiator will be fighting Thanos in the Revelation comic so why this fight took place is beyond me.

@kgb725: he was going to paralyze THANOS. That would be enough to wipe this team out. And that was at 1/4 power. So he ratches it up a bit and they are toast.
