  1. There ain't no one in the whole DC 'verse that can handle the Raccoon!



    ...or Star-Lord!

    1. Well stated. Heh. Really, though I've said it before but Rocket is just so unique. I know there is *that* Green Lantern character (and that's who I'd pick if I *had* to pick one), but him also being a little mammal doesn't make him Rocket. Different powerset, for one, and Rocket is so much more than just a raccoon. His personality and attitude make him unlike anyone else.

  2. I'd trade...

    Star-Lord for Adam Strange.
    Drax for Lobo.
    Rocket Raccoon for Green Lantern Ch'p
    Groot for Swamp Thing
    Gamora for Starfire

    I was gonna go with Mogo for Groot, but one GL was enough, I thought. :D

    1. Great choices. As I said above, though, I don't think DC has anyone that totally captures the essence of Rocket, but Ch'p seems to be the closest, I guess. Admittedly, my knowledge of DC is limited to cartoons, movies, games, etc. Unlike Marvel, I've never read any actual DC books. So, I probably won't try to create my own list.

    2. I grew up reading half-and-half, for the most part. I've always been a huge GL fan. (That's shocking, right? More cosmic-based characters!) I think Ch'p really is the closest, not just because he's animal, but he's got some snark to him, he can be a bit trigger happy, and he's kind of brilliant, all depending on who's writing him. He's not the most fleshed-out or in-depth character, but I think he's definitely a Rocket-Lite. Guns really aren't as big of a thing in DC as they are in Marvel, have you noticed that? There's not nearly as many big-gun toting characters, and those that are tend to be villains.

    3. I never specifically thought about the gun thing before, but, yeah, you're right.

  3. Gamora=Jade, because they're both green skinned babes.

  4. I don't know much about DC comics, but I think a good candidate for Star-Lord's place is Grifter.

    1. Oh, Grifter would be good. Zealot would've been a good choice for Gamora too. Actually, The WILDCats are a great team to compare the GotG to, I think...

  5. Legion Of Superheroes?
