89P13 (Earth-12041) VS A.C. O'Connor (Earth-616)

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.

A.C. "Ace" O'Connor was a reporter who got involved in the mysterious robot serial killer story surrounding Rom, Spaceknight. Unknown to the world at large, Rom was actually a heroic figure eliminating evil aliens called Dire Wraiths who had infiltrated the Earth using their shape-changing powers. To human eyes, Rom was killing random people with a ray gun, reducing them to ash. In fact, Rom's Neutralizer was banishing the Dire Wraiths to Limbo. [1] Ace was tipped off at first by the fact that all the "victims" of the robot killer in Clairton, West Virginia all shared the same birthdate. Ace's investigation brought her to the government program Project: Safeguard where she managed to capture Rom's Neutralizer in action on film. Upon developing her photos, she discovered the camera was able to capture what the human eye could not, showing an alien creature disappearing into Limbo instead of the "murder" of a human being.
