Rocket is a raccoon, or raccoon-like creature, enhanced by illegal genetic experiments into a sentient and technically proficient being. This experience was apparently quite traumatic as he remembers having been "torn apart and put back together." At some point in his life he met the sentient plant-life Groot, with whom he became partners in bounty hunting.
Bounty Hunter
Rocket spent most of his life as a bounty hunter, teamed up with Groot to perform miscellaneous (and typically illegal) jobs, such as kidnapping and theft, in search of income. He ran into frequent trouble with the law and was imprisoned on numerous occasions, but managed to escape from confinement each time. Despite being a very capable bounty hunter he was frequently taken advantage of by both his employers and competitors alike, at times reaching the verge of bankruptcy.
His search for employment eventually brought Rocket to Xandar, where he staked out potential bounty targets in a crowded plaza. Eventually, he spotted Peter Quill - wanted for 40,000 Units by Yondu - and attempted to capture him during a fight between Quill and Gamora. The fight led to all four being arrested by the Nova Corps.

Born an ordinary Earth raccoon, the kit who would become Rocket was abducted by robot scientists from Halfworld, alongside his mother and siblings. The runt of his litter, Rocket displayed courage and heightened aggression, making him ideal for the robots' experiments in accelerating evolution and became genetically and cybernetically enhanced. There he became acquainted with Groot and the two rebelled against the machines and freed his fellow test subjects. Rocket, as the kit now called himself, escaped Halfworld with Groot. The two then began their new life as bounty hunters.
The events that played out after this reflect similar to his MCU counterpart, via saving the galaxy from Ronan the Accuser who was perished as a result, which leads to him and Groot become founding members of the Guardians of the Galaxy alongside Star-Lord, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora.
At some point, Rocket became a mentor of Nova when he joined the Guardians.
