Whos the one person/creature you'd definitely not want to be in a fighting against cause of how powerful or skilled they are?

I may be a technical genius with crazy powerful weapons, but there's some people even I couldn't take down alone.

I wouldn't fancy bein' up against any Elders of the Universe, that's for sure.

As much as I wanted to wipe that smug look off the Collector's face, even I know when to pick my battles.

Oh, and Galactus! A world devourer? No thank you.

And I'd hate to go up against Thanos again. Even without the Infinity Stones, it'd be a challenge.

Any opinion on Bucky Barnes?

I didn't get to know him very well, but Bucky seems like a cool guy. And I really like his arm.

I nearly blew his head off when he grabbed me from behind in Wakanda, but then I realised he was usin' me as a turret and I had to admire his moxy. Besides, it does benefit me to get a higher vantage point in battle.

Bucky knows how to fight, he likes guns, and he don't take crap from anyone. Remind you of someone?

I think we'd really get along if he could get over the whole "arm" thing.

And while there ain't no thing like me 'cept me, from what I heard about him, it sounds like he's -uh- a lot more like me than I realised.

What's your favorite thing to do with Quill as best friends?

Bicker?

Nah, I like hanging out with Quill. We have fun no matter what we're doing, whether it's fightin' side by side, fixin' the ship together or just chillin' in the common area.

We always make each other laugh, even if we do end up arguing over who should pilot the ship later.

Don't tell him I said this 'cause I'll deny it, but I really like listening to music with him. Whatever we're doing, as long as there's a good song playing in the background, it's always a good time.

Favourite video game from your time on earth ??

Playing video games wasn't really my priority back then but I got dragged into playin' a couple. It was kinda nice gettin' to see why Groot and Quill like em so much.

Out of the ones I did play, my favourite was probably GTA. Kinda reminded me of the days before I was a Guardian, when it was just me and the old Groot stealin' ships, startin' fights, evading the law, and gettin' all into all kinds of trouble.

Call of Duty was good too. It's no secret I like shootin' things, but I do prefer doing it in real life.

Do Drax still interrupt Pete and Gamora while they have romantic moments? I don't think they notice him because his invisible 🫥

It don't matter how many times we try and tell the big idiot that he can't turn invisible, he just will not get it through that thick head of his.

He's always sneakin' up on all of us and then just standin' there watchin' in silence. It's creepy! He can be surprisingly light-footed for such a big guy. Although he always gives himself away by munchin' on some zarg nuts. He really loves those things.

Quill and Gamora really have to find somewhere more secluded to be all sappy together than the Milano because there really ain't no privacy here. Hell, I have to hide away in the engine room if I want any privacy. My own quarters aren't even safe 'cause someone's always barging in wanting somethin' from me. "Rocket, do this. Rocket, do that." Urgh.

I saw you mention Quill made you lot play Earth games. Have he tried making you guys play Dungeons and Dragons? I think you would make for quite a good dungeon master.

You really think so? Maybe I could give it a shot some time.

Quill hasn't really brought it up but, now that you mention it, I bet he'd love it.

I did get dragged into playing once when I was on Earth. Maybe I should pitch it to the Guardians. They'll either love it or hate it. Either way, it'll be fun to watch the chaos.

[ask-rocket]

You guard the galaxy to kingdom come pal !!

🫡 🌌

Milano? Repaired.

Enemies? Defeated.

Galaxy? Guarded.

Quill? An idiot.

Hotel? Trivago.

[ask-rocket]

About all those unanswered questions. I've been busy guarding the galaxy (you're welcome) but don't worry, I'll get back to ya soon.

Has Quill tried to make you and the guardians play and human games? Like monopoly or jenga for example.

Ugh, Terrans. They always think anything that comes from their mudball of a planet is the greatest thing to exist.

So yeah, to answer your question, Quill has made us play some of his stupid games, and then gets mad when I'm better at them than he is. That guy is one sore loser.

Monopoly was the first thing he made us play. It took us a little bit to understand the concept but once we'd picked it up it was pretty simple. Well, except for Drax. I don't think he understood anything, and neither did Groot because he was a baby so I let him team up with me.

Here's the gist of how it all went down:

>First, everyone argued over which token they wanted to play, so we had to resolve that by rolling dice.

>Groot kept putting all the pieces in his mouth.

>Drax took everything literally (as usual) and got upset whenever he was sent to jail or asked to pay up.

>Gamora started off trying to play it strategically but kept picking up chance and community chest cards that weren't in her favour which ruined her plans and really ticked her off.

>Me, Gamora and Quill ended up in a non-spoken competition to see who could buy up the most properties and stop each other from getting full colour sets.

>Quill got all huffy when anyone took the properties he wanted and kept accusing me of cheating because I was rolling so well.

>Gamora walked off while me, Quill and Drax were arguing and took Groot with her.

>Drax went bankrupt and accused me and Quill of conspiring against him, flipped the table claiming he would "no longer play this treacherous game with such dishonorable company," and stormed off.

>Me and Quill started blaming each other but then ended up laughing about it all.

I think Quill was pretty bumbed we never got to finish the game but hasn't been brave enough to suggest playing again knowing how poorly last time went.

After getting use to Quills songs, which would you say do you like the most?

There are so many good songs on the Zune. I have a few favourites but I also like putting it on shuffle and finding new songs to enjoy.

But Come and Get Your Love by Redbone takes the cake. It's not only a good song, but its also pretty special to me. It reminds me of Pete. It was always one of his favourites and one of the first songs he played for us on the Milano after we became Guardians. Brings me back to the good old days where it all began.

What is the weirdest thing You caught Quill and Gamora doing? 🩷

Well, I don't know about weird, but I did walk in on Pete trying to teach Gamora how to dance one time. And I don't mean slow dancing mind you.

Y'see, Gamora would probably be a good ballet dancer. When she fights, she's precise and graceful. But what Quill was doing was not at all graceful. Poor Gam's looked so out of her depth trying to copy him. You shoulda' seen the way she flailed!

And oh boy, was she mad when she noticed me spying on 'em. Not that I was really spying, I just happened to walk by and then couldn't help but to stop and watch that pathetic display.

(Any rocket) Which is your favorite avenger member? Could be your favorite for any reason.

(MCU Rocket)

Technically I was an Avenger once. Can I say myself?

I got along pretty well with all of the Avengers, even the ones that liked to hassle me *cough* Tony *cough.* I can't say I really have a favourite. They were all good people and I respected 'em.

I probably got along the best with Thor though. We hit it off right away. I think it's cause he treated me with respect before he even got to know me, which is rare; most people look down on me when they first meet me. (I know there's a joke to be made there, but don't even think about it.) I still consider him a good friend even though we don't really talk anymore.

[ask-rocket]

Do you miss lylla ??

What kind of question is that? Of course I miss Lylla!

I'll always miss her. She was the first person to ever show me kindness. Lylla was so full of life and one of the most caring people I've ever met. She deserved so much more than what happened to her.

I hope one day I'll get to see her again, but I hope that day doesn't come too soon. I've still got a lotta work to do here.

hey rocket, how do you take care of that luscious beard of yours? asking for a friend.

(Marvel GOTG game Rocket)

Asking for a friend? Seems suspicious but I'll bite.

Mostly I just leave my goatee as it is, but I'll take it out to wash and brush it every so often. If it's looking frizzy I'll use some beard oil. Then I'll re-plait it and put the beads back in. Any stray ends I'll trim but I don't usually need to do that.

From @papetoonfox

Me? No. Birthdays aren't my thing. I don't even know when I was born, and being made isn't something I wanna celebrate. In fact, I'd rather not be reminded. As if I could ever forget.

Besides, who needs all that attention? Not me.

[ask-rocket]

Hi Rocket! Are you any good at cooking?

Eh. I'm no chef but I'm still better than Quill.

Honestly, I prefer eatin' food to makin' it.
