But if Groot is looking for more conventional guidance, Vision is another character that comes to mind who could serve as a strong role model.
As for who Groot will aspire to be like during Avengers: Infinity War, I suspect it will be The Hulk.
Whoever this mentor ends up being, here’s hoping that they do a good job of making is easier for the sentient tree to eventually transition back into Adult Groot.
Even though Marvel’s Green Goliath has a penchant for property destruction, it seems like Groot would have an easier time relating to him than most of the other heroes residing on Earth, whether it’s because they’re both insanely strong or they both have a small vocabulary.
