"Oh no! A Marvel characterd oes not have a heart wrenching past! How terrible!" Is what I'm getting from the comments.

I often struggle to read comics, it's tough for me to get a hold of them. This was so easy to read, and damn sweet.

Try graphic novels, they are whole collections of a series for reading purposes rather than collecting the individual comics.

She brought in an invasive plant species! You know how irresponsible that is?

He sent a lone child to a unknown place and she somehow managed to survive on her own? Creative and sad, but poorly written beside that.
eigeress
She had a stuffed bunny!
GeorgePotompkin
I thought he just sent her back home. There's another human who becomes her husband, so it's at least earth, right?

You'd think we'd have remembered giant tree creatures abducting people.
Hasaan
pfft marvel earth gets invaded every month, they'd forget about it in an instant.
SilimSavertin
The Marvel universe isn't our universe, it has laws and regulations for superpowers ffs. Giant tree abductions are just another Sunday.
AeonQuasars
So in other words he knows where to send her back, but don't know where she is? Make sense
GeorgePotompkin
I'll play devil's advocate here and guess that he just hit the return button without knowing where the destination was. I dont know?

Canon in Marvel comics is that Groot is a hyper intelligent scientist type
genepoolboy
Well he does look like a nerd
bobislost
he was also a total ass in his first appearance and could talk
TwoAccountsDown
Really? I thought Marvel canon was something that changed every three years.
aiuta219
Marvel isn't the one with the New Final Infinity 52 Crisis every other year.

Isn’t he a prince as well?

Did Disney do this? I’m not saying it’s bad; but it looks like Disney sweetened up his back story
DianNaoChong
Comics reset backstories and universes all the time
SilimSavertin
Marvel constantly redoes origins, same as DC.
Jayboots
Makes sense tho, they need to keep characters relevant. Heroes and villains from 30-40 years ago couldn't hold up to today's PC standards.
Safebox36
Groots story is a mess overall. They turned a monster of the week from the 50s into a proper character then retconned his whole 1/

race as being conquerors, but him just being an exception. That's been established pre-Disney if I recall. 2/2

First thought from "I'm Hannah" was, "Oh, Hanna? Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten."
tcpolecat7
Oh good, I wasn't the only one getting a 'Lilo & Stitch' vibe from this.
GivOsEnSocialistiskKalmarUnion
im not particularly a fan - it seems way to cliché and sugersweet. so yea, prolly disney
FireSolvesProblems
Dont know, but the little girl looks like Lilo.
Hen3
It’s from Groot comic issue #6.
meconopsia
Looks like Skottie Young's style who also does the Fairyland series as well as several more recent Rocket and Groot
friendsofsandwiches
it looks similer, but overall art is different. he might have had hand in breakdowns.

Groot #6 January 2016

Created by Jeff Loveness and Brian Kesinger.
mixelpixx
Not Disney, the artist themselves actually like to do this from time to time. Comics were for social justice, an being good from the beging

Except now so many can't do it well and it just leaves fans resentful. OG femthor had nearly no pushback. Miles is popular because he is goo
dylanamanhouilhan
But when they replace/"SJWash" characters for its own sake without making the characters compelling and disrespecting the OG is annoying
NotmyUsername2000
What's the original? Seems like I saw it at some point. But I can't recall and I know this isn't it. Or maybe there's just several.
socratesboytoy
In the mcu the collector mentions he is possible the last groot.
Glomoro
I think it might be more rare for any of them that aren't brand spanking new to not have had origin revisions by now, to some extent
stevencloser
I think it was kinda like Goku? Warrior race, lost his memories and became good?
bigassdolphin
Technically the original was being a throw away hulk villain. I think he was a nameless horror monster before that. Revisions happen.
srsfaceI8C
This comic references that with the other Groot destroying towns, because his original form looked a lot like that one.
bigassdolphin
I saw and really liked that. Revisions aren't always bad things.
WoefulWombat
I saw one where his whole planet got wiped out, he's the last groot, I think there was a seed involved?
0TwoSandals0
This is what I thought too...

JesaraB
Yeah they said "We Are Groot", and after they were annihilated he changed to saying only I am Groot"
cosonfused
His story has been retconned several times. I even remember him having genuis level intellect and of royal descent.
TheAxeNinja
This is the most recent retcon but it was before Disney. The original support was the royal one with the destroyed planet iirc
NotmyUsername2000
Maybe they have yet to settle on the best idea.
MrRandom314159
Groot's not an A-level icon. So his origin can be a lot more fluid.
copingcabana
Was he raised by two humans named Jonathan and Martha?
IATTM
You're mother's name is Martha too????

WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!!!
