Groot is a fictional superhero appearing
in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee, Jack
Kirby, and Dick Ayers, the character first appeared in Tales to Astonish #13
(November 1960). An extraterrestrial, sentient tree-like creature, Groot
originally appeared as an invader that intended to capture humans for
experimentation.
The character was
reintroduced as a heroic, noble being in 2006, and appeared in the crossover
comic book storyline "Annihilation: Conquest". Groot went on to star
in its spin-off series, Guardians of the Galaxy, joining the team of the same
name. Groot has been featured in a variety of associated Marvel merchandise,
including animated television series, toys, and trading cards. Vin Diesel
voices Groot in the 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy, and Krystian Godlewski
plays the character via performance capture. Since his film premiere, Groot has
become a pop culture icon, with his repeated line "I am Groot"
becoming a famous reference.
I am new to the world of anime, comicon,
and cosplay, so if I try to identify a character and get it wrong, please cut
me some slack. Thanks
