00:00She-Hulk debuted in The Savage She-Hulk Number 1 in 1980. She is Jennifer Walters, a gifted
00:07but somewhat reserved lawyer and cousin to Bruce Banner. She gained her powers thanks
00:11to a blood transfusion given to her by Bruce. And now that She-Hulk, attorney at law, is
00:16bringing her story to the screen, one has to ask the big question, are they going to
00:20include all of the weird and wonderful details about this character that have happened over
00:24her comics tenure? So let's take a look at them as I'm Jules, this is WhatCulture.com,
00:28and these are 10 things you probably didn't know about She-Hulk.
00:3210. The Winter Hulk
00:34In World War She-Hulk, which happened in Avengers Number 46, the larger, more aggressive Hulk
00:40allowed herself to be captured by the Russian Winter Guard to see what they had planned against
00:45Atlantis. Once in Russia, she was subjected to a mock trial and found guilty. She was then placed
00:50into a mind oven to brainwash her, fill her with radiation, and turn her into a weapon. With the
00:56Avengers on the way, the procedure was accelerated and, of course, went slightly wrong. Jennifer
01:01broke free and decimated both Winter Guard and any Avengers that got in her way. Most of the
01:06Winter Guard had been killed or severely injured, while the Avengers were only knocked out. The
01:11Guard's Red Widow had severed her arm to inform her superiors that the Winter Hulk had been
01:15successfully deployed. This Hulk was then sent to confront Namor. However, the Russians had not
01:20counted on Jennifer's skill at controlling her forms. The Red Widow had planted a bomb that was
01:25intended to destroy 98% of the Atlantean population. Despite the Avengers capturing the Red Widow,
01:31she was still able to detonate the bomb. But Jennifer was able to absorb the 68-megaton
01:36gamma yield and released it at Avengers Mountain, far away from its intended target in Avengers
01:42Number 50. As a result, She-Hulk returned to her intelligent, less bulky form.
01:479. Feeling Grey
01:48Having been critically injured by Thanos, things didn't look too good for Walters. But then again,
01:53this is comics, so of course she resurrected. But she did so to the news that Hawkeye had killed her
01:59cousin, albeit at Bruce's request, and had been acquitted of the crime. Leaving superheroics behind
02:05again, Jennifer tries to focus on her law career. However, the stress of the ongoing second superhero
02:10civil war, instigated by Captain Marvel and Iron Man, caused her to change into a more heavily muscled
02:16but simple-minded grey form. Becoming part of a new law firm, Jennifer was assigned the case of
02:21Maisie Broon, a recently changed inhuman recluse whose landlord was threatening to evict her from
02:26her apartment. Despite Jen working her case, Maisie grew impatient and created a fear golem that killed
02:32her landlord, a few police officers, and tried to kill the She-Hulk. The golem was then destroyed,
02:38and Maisie was arrested. And She-Hulk nearly killed a hulked-out man named Oliver,
02:42if not for the intervention of her friend Patsy Walker. After a confrontation with the leader in
02:46She-Hulk number 161, Jen was approached by the self-help guru Florida Mayor, who offered her to
02:52help her with her issues. She took a special pill and had a confrontation with Thanos and her own
02:56Hulk persona in her subconscious. When she came to, she had destroyed the room, but she was back in her
03:02green form once more. 8. Jennifer Walters, Bounty Hunter
03:06So Mallory Brooke was the star lawyer at GLKNH before Jennifer Walters arrived, and thus she
03:11always had a chip on her shoulder for the chaos that She-Hulk had brought into her life. She
03:16began setting up circumstances that caused Jen to get disbarred for violating attorney-client
03:20privileges. Leaving both her lives as a lawyer and a superhero behind, she began working for
03:25Freeman Bonding Incorporated as a bounty hunter. Her partner in this new job was Jacinda, the daughter
03:31of the Super Skrull. After successfully capturing the minor armed villain, Highlight, Jennifer and
03:36Jacinda tracked a bomber named Bran Murphy to Cleveland, where they discovered that he was the host for
03:41the Celtic god Bran the Blessed. Bran and demigod, and sometimes Avenger Hercules, battled throughout
03:47the city until Jacinda nearly killed the man to get the Celtic god out of him. Jacinda then revealed
03:52to She-Hulk that the Skrulls had invaded Earth. In 2008's secret invasion tie-in, the Peter David
03:58written X-Factor No. 34 saw the pair travel to Detroit, Michigan, to confront the Skrull that was
04:03posing as Longshot. They were at first opposed and then aided by members of X-Factor investigations.
04:08After freeing humans from a small Skrull ship, they were then attacked by the Super Skrull who planned
04:13to kill his daughter for betraying the Empire. The exposed Longshot nearly facelessly injured Jacinda
04:19and was left in She-Hulk's care. But thankfully, she was later apprehended by S.W.O.R.D.
04:237. Do you take this man-wolf?
04:26Now, Jennifer has had many successful cases while working at GLKNH. One of these was aiding Spider-Man
04:32ensuing the Daily Bugle and its publisher J. Jonah Jameson. Over the course of the case,
04:37Jen met Jameson's son, former astronaut and occasional man-wolf John Jameson, and the pair
04:42began dating. At the end of the First Civil War, She-Hulk regained the ability to change forms again
04:47after Doctor Strange removed Wanda's spell on her. John and Jen were so happy that they then eloped to
04:52Las Vegas. Gifts started coming in rapidly, but it was all apparently a scheme by Alastair Smythe to ruin
04:58Jameson's life and his subsequent happiness. He made him turn back into the Man-Wolf and then was
05:03shot with a silver bullet, turning him into the Star God. Eventually, John got control of himself,
05:08but told She-Hulk that he would not transform back to human form unless she did as well.
05:13During this time, She-Hulk had to defend against a case of sexual harassment and manipulation being
05:17brought against former Avenger Star Fox. Eros of Titan was an Eternal who had the ability to
05:22stimulate the pleasure centers of people's minds and make them fall in love or feel desire or feel
05:27arousal and other emotions. Jennifer learned that Star Fox had used this power on Jen to make her
05:32fall for John, and therefore she had the marriage annulled in She-Hulk No. 20.
05:366. GLKNH
05:38In her 2004 self-titled comic written by Dan Slott and penciled by Juan Bobilo,
05:44She-Hulk was at an all-time low after being found guilty of causing plentiful destruction.
05:49And into the bar where She-Hulk was failing to get drunk walked Holden Holloway. He hired her to the
05:54new superhuman law division of his firm, Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg, and Holloway. The proviso being
06:00that he was hiring Jennifer Walters and not the She-Hulk. Jennifer was invited to join the living
06:05tribunal's magistrate to arbitrate cases across time and space. And so she traveled to the planet
06:10Skarden to free it from the rule of the champion of the universe. There she stayed and trained for
06:15weeks to increase her strength in her She-Hulk form in order to defeat the Elder. When she returned to
06:20earth, she actually had to wear a special suit to regulate her strength. Now, few of the employees
06:24at GLKNH were as unusual or loyal as Awesome Andy. He was actually the Mad Thinker's awesome
06:30android. And when the Mad Thinker made adjustments to his creation to copy more than just powers,
06:35Andy copied Thor's nobility and helped the hero capture the Mad Thinker. He then hired a lawyer to
06:40prove that he was a victim and not a willing participant. And as he had no money, he took a job
06:44at the firm to pay his fee and ending up staying there. 5. When She-Hulk Broke Bone
06:50In the Avengers Red Zone story arc that began in issue number 65, the team had gone to Mount Rushmore
06:55to solve the mystery of the Red Mist, and found that it was actually a government-created bioweapon.
07:01When She-Hulk opened a locked door, she discovered a room full of AIM operatives, who opened fire and
07:06damaged her protective suit. Her fellow Avenger, Jack of Hearts, got her out of the building,
07:10but his powers drew the gamma radiation from her body, transforming her into a human
07:14form where she succumbed to the virus. She later transformed into a savage She-Hulk and tore
07:19through the team before disappearing. Jen tried to follow Bruce's example and lay low whilst
07:24wandering through small-town America. However, her Avengers teammates had been looking for her,
07:28and when she was face-to-face with the Scarlet Witch, the fear and frustration of losing control
07:32caused her to turn into an out-of-control version. The entire team was unable to stop her,
07:37and she destroyed a large part of Bone Idaho. Hawkeye and Bruce Banner arrived to try and calm
07:42Jennifer down, but they were equally unsuccessful. Clint was able to get She-Hulk out of town,
07:47and then forced Bruce to transform into the Hulk to make the fight more evenly matched.
07:51Finally, it was the arrival of Jack of Hearts who used his powers to finally balance the proper
07:56amount of gamma radiation in her body and return her to normality.
08:004. Juggling Two Lives
08:01Jennifer found it easier to focus on just one aspect of her life, either the lawyer or the superhero,
08:07but when she tried to juggle the two, it often got her into trouble. She-Hulk had left the Avengers
08:13after the fiasco where Dr. Druid and Nebula had mentally taken the team over, but she returned
08:17when Steve Rogers also returned and reorganized the team in Avengers number 305. At nearly the same
08:23time, Jen was hired to work as a lawyer in the office of District Attorney Blake Tower.
08:27Jennifer's work in the DA's office kept her from attending several Avengers missions. She also
08:32ended up breaking up with her boyfriend Wyatt Wingfoot not long after getting engaged. Ultimately,
08:37Jen found that it was Tower's assistant, Louise Mason, who had actually pushed him to hire the
08:41Jade Giantess, as the Golden Age superhero blonde phantom Wheezy wanted to be featured in a comic again
08:47before she died of old age. Returning from space in a flying 59 Dodge after fighting the alien Zemu,
08:53She-Hulk found that her superheroics were actually getting in the way of her being a lawyer. During a
08:57trial, opposing counsel stated that she influenced the jury in her favour simply by being a hero.
09:02Faced with this possibility in future cases, Tower fired Walters, and Mason quit as well,
09:08but joined Jennifer in her solo practice.
09:103. A Real Team Player
09:12She-Hulk has been a member of numerous teams over her long history in comics. Jennifer Walters' first
09:18and most frequent team affiliation is that of the Avengers, and she joined the premier super team
09:22in Avengers number 221 at the request of Janet Van Dyne, aka The Wasp. And Walters began a good-natured,
09:29but adversarial relationship with veteran Avenger Hawkeye. Clint also coined the name Shulky as a
09:34way to get under her skin. Jen would then leave the team for a variety of reasons, but would always
09:38return when called upon. The other major team where Jennifer made her mark was the Fantastic Four.
09:43After the events of the first Secret War, Ben Grimm, The Thing, chose to stay on Battleworld. He
09:48personally asked She-Hulk to step in as his replacement on the team in Fantastic Four number 265.
09:53She-Hulk became trapped in the Microverse alone and under the thrall of the Psycho Man. She had to
09:58rediscover her courage to save the kingdom of Queen Perla. Additionally, She-Hulk was a member of the
10:03all-female team's A-Force and Lady Liberators. She was also a member of the Initiative-based
10:08Defenders and a Rogue team as well. Jen also became part of the Heroes for Hire whilst in a
10:12relationship with Luke Cage, in addition to working briefly for S.H.I.E.L.D.
10:162. She Prefers the Green Life
10:18Now at first, understandably concerned about what was happening to her, Jennifer soon found that she not
10:23only liked, but actually preferred to spend most of her time in her altered form. Jen was a kind,
10:28empathetic, and studious person, and part of her bonding time with the young Bruce was hours spent
10:33in the library reading books together. After her change, she became more comfortable in the She-Hulk
10:38form and found new confidence, assertiveness, and a more fun-loving nature. When radiation robbed her
10:43of her ability to change back to Jennifer on one occasion, she wasn't even bothered. One of the key
10:47changes involved in this is that it lowered or even removed Jennifer's inhibitions. She only had a few
10:53relationships and not many sexual partners before the change. After her transformation into She-Hulk,
10:58she became more invested in relationships. But apparently her, air quotes, party girl antics
11:02got out of hand so much that she was once politely asked to move out of the Avengers mansion.
11:07But something that hasn't changed over the years is Walter's skill as a lawyer. She is compassionate
11:12and caring and has a history of fighting for the rights of minorities, civil liberties,
11:16the mentally ill, and the wrongly incarcerated. She is a strong believer in the ideals of law and
11:21order, but isn't afraid to go up against a law that is wrong, like changing her opinion on the
11:26superhero registration act. And number one, only occasionally savage.
11:30Unlike the Hulk, She-Hulk rarely falls into extreme fits of anger that make her air quotes
11:35savage. And usually those occasions are only often triggered by outside circumstances.
11:40Jennifer always has to keep an eye on her anger or stress levels, but there are a few occasions
11:44where she lets go and goes over the edge. One of the first times that this happened was when
11:47Scarlet Witch lost control of her powers and caused the decimation of the Avengers. Jennifer lost
11:52control as well and became enraged, growing in size and savagery. Here she grabbed the vision
11:57and ripped the Synthroid completely in half. In the sensational She-Hulk number 15, Jennifer began
12:02to manifest a grey version of the She-Hulk. This manifestation only came out at night, had the
12:07reasoning of a child, and referred to herself in the third person. This grey Shulky often referred
12:12to her human side as Puny Jennifer, in a manner similar to that spoken by Banner's Hulk. The most recent
12:18example of this was when the Dark Celestials attacked Earth and began to infect their brethren.
12:23She-Hulk was near the site of the searcher's landfall, and the Celestial gave the hero an
12:26additional dose of gamma radiation. This made her larger, bulkier, and more savage in her hulked-out
12:32form. After the villain's defeat, Jennifer began referring to herself as Hulk, spoke in a stilted
12:37form of English, and aggressively pursued a sexual relationship with Thor in Jason Aaron and David
12:42Marquez's Avengers number 8.
12:44And there we go my friends, those were 10 things you probably didn't know about She-Hulk.
12:48I hope that you enjoyed that, and please let me know what you thought about it down in
12:51the comments section below. As always I've been Jules, you can go follow me over on Twitter
