But that means Rocket tried to shoot MJ because Spider-Man didn't know his name.

A planet is a test run for killing five dudes.

Rocket was convinced the sentry could conquer the galaxy, but also, that he could take it (and Ronan) by himself.

So this comic strip managed to up the goofy factor of a very goofy 60s robot by like 300%.
