Armed with the knowledge of their origin and true nature, Rocket and his associates expanded their operations to the entire asylum. The Rakk 'n' Ruin was destroyed, but the group ended the conflict when Pyko deciphered the Halfworld Bible, the logbook of the hospice ship Gideon, one of the vessels that founded Halfworld. Blackjack attempted to usurp power himself, becoming a target for both Dyvyne and Jakes, and forcing him to join forces with Rocket. Soon after, war erupted between Dyvyne and Jakes' companies. However, Rocket was not picked for either team and was returned to Halfworld. If he lost, he'd forfeit his life as well. If the Grandmaster's team won, he would be given the power to restore the life of his deceased brother, the Collector. Contest of Champions Īround this time, Rocket was teleported to an arena along with every Earther super-hero when the Grandmaster and Death decided to make a deal wherein each would choose twelve champions from Earth, the fact that Rocket was brought there as well giving weight to the theory that he's from Earth. Hulk was promptly sent back to Earth to prevent him from upsetting the status quo. Once, the Hulk arrived to the planet, but he experienced a 'comforting children's tale' version of the world, presumably from being immersed in a virtual reality, perhaps even along with Rocket and his friends. As they used the ship to travel Halfworld, Rocket became known as the fastest gun in the Quadrant. Wal Rus was left playfully resentful about this, refusing to refer to the ship as belonging to the two of them. When Rocket bought a ship for the two of them, Wal Rus wanted to name it Wailing Wal, but Lylla proposed Rakk 'n' Ruin, and Rocket liked the alliteration with his own name. Over time, Lylla became Rocket's girlfriend and her uncle Wal Rus became Rocket's partner. Retrieving it was Ranger Rocket's first mission. When Rocket turned one-year old, he was granted a ranger uniform by his friends Pyko, Lylla, and her uncle Wal Rus, but the bunny Blackjack O'Hare stole the birthday cake so that he, Dyvyne and Jakes could eat it. challenging Inter-Stel Mechanics, run by the mole Judson Jakes. Rival companies arose, with the saurian Lord Dyvyne's Dyvynities, Inc. Over time the animals created their own society, with the major industry being toymaking for the Loonies' amusements. Halfworld's surface was divided into two, half industrialized and manned by robots that created technology for the animals, and half a verdant paradise where Rocket and his fellows lived with the Loonies.

Rocket and his fellow animals knew it was their duty to look after the least dangerous patients from the surface of the planet, whom they called Loonies, but the animals were initially unaware of their true roles and history. After the surgery, his extended limbs and human-like body had to be maintained with a metal exo-skeleton. Even during happy times, what was done to him festered inside. This event made Rocket who he was, an open wound he had to hide under sarcasm and snarls. Rocket's DNA was altered similarly to how the Kree made the Inhumans. The robots experimented on Rocket to give him intelligence through painful and traumatic surgery. The robots made the animals anthropomorphic to engender a cheerful atmosphere, keeping the most dangerous inmates happy.

Seeking to end their servitude, the robots used genetic engineering to give intelligence and awareness to the animals that had been left as companions for the patients. When a nearby star went nova, ensuing radiation gave sentience to the robots, who quickly chafed at the illogical directives of the humanoids. When the humanoids' funding was cut, they left back to their home planet, but not before building robot stewards to provide for the mentally ill. He was good to Rocket - the last one to ever be. He liked Rocket to sit in his lap while they watched dumb old war movies. A young raccoon with no intelligence, Rocket was used as the service animal for a patient named Khevix, a war veteran with a mouth like a sailor and bad dreams. Possibly snatched from Earth, he was used by a group of alien humanoids as a therapy animal for the inmates in the Halfworld Asylum for the Criminally Insane. Somewhere in the black holes of Sirius Major there lived a young boy by the name of Rocket Raccoon. For a complete history see Rocket Raccoon's Expanded History Early Life
