The Guardians have settled fully into their roles as the galaxy's protectors from their new home base of Knowhere, which they have transformed into a refuge for outcasts and people down on their luck. However, this new status quo is shaken by the arrival of a new threat — the Sovereign superweapon, Adam Warlock, who pushes the Guardians of the Galaxy to their breaking point in an initial confrontation that leaves Rocket grievously injured in a way where he cannot be healed thanks to a copyright-locked bomb in Rocket's cybernetic body. Racing against the clock, the Guardians discover that they can save their friend if they can infiltrate OrgoCorp, a bioengineering company that has the key to saving Rocket's life. While hooked up to medical devices, Rocket's origins are explored in full, unveiling his backstory and explaining how his traumatic past created the person that he is. It's revealed that he was uplifted by the High Evolutionary, who also runs OrgoCorp and created the Sovereigns, in pursuit of creating a perfect society by any means necessary. The High Evolutionary then seeks Rocket for his own sinister designs, as he's dissatisfied with the way the universe is and seeks to recreate it in his image. The Guardians must now rally to face what could very well be their greatest challenge — and the last one that they will do together.
