Marvel’s vice president wanted to make sure the man responsible for Guardians of the Galaxy’s foul-mouthed raccoon got to finally see him in action.
In 1976, Bill Mantlo and Keith Giffen helped create the character Rocket Raccoon for Marvel Comics. Rocket first popped up in the 271st issue of The Incredible Hulk.

In 1992, Mantlo was hit by a car while rollerblading. He was comatose after the accident. When he finally recovered, the brain damage the accident caused was irreparable.
Mantlo now receives full-time care in a health facility and getting him to a theater to screen Rocket Raccoon shooting up bad guys on the big screen would be pretty tough.
So, Marvel decided to bring the movie to him.
