Groot bursts onto the scene as a Marvel Comics superhero from outer space in November 1960, born out of a brainstorm between Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby in Tales to Astonish #13. At first, this extraordinary tree-like creature from another world invades Earth with one chilling intention - to abduct unsuspecting humans for nefarious experimentation. Fast forward to 2006 when Groot gets reborn as an unapologetically heroic being, starring alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy crew in Annihilation: Conquest. His popularity quickly soars as he shines as a fan favorite in animated series, toys and trading cards. The talented Vin Diesel lends his voice to this Marvel icon in films such as Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) and Avengers: Infinity War (2018), solidifying Groot's status as an internet sensation. However, what propels Groot from being a niche superhero to a full-fledged cultural phenomenon is his incredibly memorable catchphrase - I am Groot! Even Ralph Breaks the Internet got in on the fun by including him in 2018, courtesy of a hilarious cameo.
