InMech Strike : Monster Hunters # 5,written by Christos Gage with art by Paco Diaz , the evil Doctor Doom has harnessed the power of the Eye of the Kraken to transform into a monumental monster . While the other Avengers have transform into standardized monsters , none of them can defeat Doom on their own .

Groot Has A History Of Being A Giant Monster

regrettably , Doctor Doom exploits Groot ’s many airplane pilot to defeat him rather easily . “Too many hand attempt to guide your wooden puppet!“he says as he well break up the Avengers ' defense . gratefully , the Wasp shrinks to remove the Eye of the Kraken from Doom ’s monstrous physical structure and the Latverian dictator is defeated . While Groot rarely grows his entire body , he does have the power to lengthen his limbs to come out taller than he really is ( though this power is n’t quite the elastic abilityof the Fantastic Four ’s Reed Richards , it is similar in functionality enough ) .

It must be take note that Groot ’s big businessman in this yield came directly from the Eye of the Kraken ferment in conjunction with the other powers of the mechanical , atrocious Avengers . Unfortunately , he may never spring up to be this monster again . This sits ok with the usual peacefulGroot , who is contented to protect his friend rather thanexchange punches with Doctor Doom- but he will gladly step up to fight if necessary .
