Groot
A Flora colossus with three words. He dies saving the team in the first film and grows back from a twig, which is why the Groot of the later films is a different age rather than a different person.
All Appearances
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Power Stone and the wider cosmic MCU. Peter, Gamora, Rocket, Groot, Drax — the team whose sacrifices in Infinity War are among the most devastating.
2h 1m
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Ego (a Celestial) is Peter's father and the villain. Yondu sacrifices himself to save Peter. Emotionally the strongest Guardians film — but the team has disbanded with no confirmed Doomsday payoff.
2h 16m
Avengers: Infinity War
Thanos collects all six Infinity Stones and snaps away half of all life. Doctor Strange gives the Time Stone intentionally — 'We're in the endgame now.' This is the pivot everything before leads to and everything after responds to.

GOTG Holiday Special
Mantis is revealed as Peter's half-sister. The Guardians have bought Knowhere from the Collector as their new home. Fun — but zero Doomsday relevance.
