A new enhanced Rocket Raccoon costume (with partner Groot) will debut in Marvel Heroes 2016 this Friday, and it is gooey.

The alien symbiotes, which most fans know from a particular one, Venom, inhabit their own planet, and Rocket and Groot came in contact with - and were infected by - them. Well, those costumes are coming.

The choice shows how closely Gazillion listens to fans, as this particular enhanced costume actually won a fan vote initiated by the developers, last year. The choices in the poll were pulled directly out of popular fan suggestions at the time.

The new Rocket and Groot Symbiote Enhanced Costumes go live Friday February 19, 2016.
