7 Best Friendships In Marvel Comics

While Rocket may not treat Groot particularly well in the comics or films, it is clear that they really do care for each other, evidenced especially in the scene at the end of the first Guardians flick when Rocket becomes extremely emotional after witnessing Groot's demise.

The pair's relationship has even been elevated above the status of friendship in Avengers: Infinity War, with Groot's final word of his second life to Rocket being "dad".

Moving away from the MCU, the pair have been gallivanting across the galaxy for years now, sharing a comic series (prior to their joining of the Guardians), in which the two had a wonderful run of adventures and established the famous friendship seen across both mediums.
