Enhanced Senses: Being a raccoon, many of Rocket's senses are heightened to levels well above human. He is able to see much better than humans and is extremely well adapted to near dark conditions, which makes senses considering he is a raccoon. His enhanced sense of smell allows him to detect subtle changes in scents around him enabling him to detect the approach of others and increasing his ability to operate in darkness. With his broad auditory range, he can perceive tones outside the range of the human ear as well as subtle sounds caused by vibrations on the ground. His hyper sensitive paws allow him to identify objects before touching them with vibrissae located above his claws.
Starship Pilot: Rocket is an extremely skilled pilot, able to control and fly pretty much every ship he's every come in contact with...after a bit of playing around first.
Marksman: Thanks to his enhanced senses, and his general skill on the battlefield, Rocket is an excellent marksman, almost always hitting his target--and even if he doesn't get the bullseye, necessarily, he does still at least hit the target usually.
Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Rocket is trained in hand-to-hand combat, able to go toe to toe with the best of them. It really doesn't matter the size of his opponent, Rocket is never to scared to jump into every fray and will fight tooth and nail even if he has absolutely no chance of winning.
Military Tactician: Because of his position back on Half-world, Rocket has become quite the tactician--most of the reason why Star Lord recruited him into the Guardians in the first place. He's very good at reading the enemy and figuring out how to get a few steps ahead of them, loving the element of surprise most of all. He's not afraid to step up and take control if he has to and generally, because of his skill, will get his men through the thickest of situations.
