Profile

King Groot carries the title "King of Planet X".

Background

Rising from under the canopy of a mysterious alien forest, Groot, the invincible master of plants and King of Planet X conquers all!

This savage and ferocious monster from a parallel universe never met Rocket or joined the Guardians, instead he became a galactic warlord and experimented on captured humans.

But now, the ruthless King's mission has been interrupted by the Collector, and he has set his sights on a new goal: hoarding all of the abundant treasure and power The Contest has to offer!
