We're getting back to our roots with this week's Unlikely Match-Up! It's tree vs. tree this time around as Marvel's Groot goes up against Treebeard of Lord of the Rings fame! Which powerful plant-like lifeform will prove victorious? A treelike extraterrestrial and valued member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Groot is incredibly strong and sturdy yet limber and surprisingly swift. Able to manipulate his form into different shapes for defense or offense, including growing vine tentacles, twig spikes, and shields, Groot has all-around battle proficiency and proven adaptability in dire situations. But how will the Guardians' golden child stack up against Tolkien's timeless tree herder? Treebeard is the oldest of Middle-earth's ents, and maybe even the oldest being in all of Middle-earth. With a lifespan like that comes strength, wisdom, and endurance. This towering tree shepherd is a formidable opponent to any who might oppose him, using his strong and sturdy tree bark limbs to crush and strike. Under his command, Treebeard and his fellow ents were even able to flood Sauron's mighty Isengard. Which of these wood-based warriors would win when up against the other in a fight? You decide!
