As an adult, Groot eventually found himself wandering off into Kree space. He was soon discovered and captured by Kree soldiers.
Groot formed a friendship with fellow prisoner Rocket Raccoon and was added to a strike force led by Star-Lord. The primary objective was to launch an attack on Hala in an effort to defeat the Phalanx.
During the battle, most of Groot’s body was destroyed. A small twig from his body broke off during the conflict, which Rocket rescued and carried with him. Groot can eventually regrow his body to its normal size.
Powers And Abilities
Flora Colossus Physiology:Groot belongs to an alien race of humanoid trees, and has various abilities that are different from most members of his species.
Regenerative Healing Factor:
He has appeared to have been killed on at least three separate occasions, and has managed to regrow himself from a sprig every time. This could be a key factor in his botanopathy.
Size Addition:
Groot can increase his size very rapidly, seemingly at will. Groot can grow from a small sapling to his normal height, or grow from his normal height into a giant.
Plasticity:
He can also grow and stretch his limbs for different tasks. Groot is usually seen as a tall tree-like humanoid, but he can also twist and bend his roots into just about any size or shape imaginable.
Expanding his limbs to various lengths gives him the appearance of having stretching powers. These powers look somewhat similar to Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. This ability may be due to Groot’s mastery over plants and his ability for cellular regeneration.
Superhuman Strength:
Groot’s hardened body also gives him superhuman strength. He’s able to resist attacks by Armodillo and other villains with strong outer shells or armor.
Superhuman Durability:
His “skin” is composed of wood fibers that are durable enough to withstand most standard weapons. This includes laser beams, gunfire and fire that would normally char or destroy other kinds of wood.
Chlorokinesis:
Groot can control other plant life in addition to his own body. He can use these powers to heal himself, grow his body and convert his limbs into powerful weapons during battle.
Healing Power:
He can also heal others. While the full extent of this capability is not yet known, he was able to heal the being known as the Gardener from poison in mere seconds.
Genius-Level Intellect:
Groot received only the best education from Photonic Knowledge of the Arbor Masters during his time on Planet X. He is reported as being extremely intelligent and has vast knowledge of quasi-dimensional super-positional engineering, according to the Inhuman known as “Maximus the Mad.”
