History

Bruce Banner's cousin and childhood friend, Jennifer Walters was transformed into She-Hulk after a blood transfusion from her cousin radiated her blood, but unlike her cousin, She-Hulk was unable to turn back into Jennifer. With her superhuman strength, good looks and a new-found confidence in herself, she traveled to New York with Bruce, as he searched for a cure for the both of them. After attempting to woo the Thing, she realized that he still loved Alicia Masters. She also realized that someone like her couldn't accompany Banner on his quest for a cure, as her appearance made it too difficult for him to stay hidden. She returned to Washington and continued to practice Law.

Jennifer didn't see Bruce again until she represented him in Court. After helping Hulk defeat the Leader and Gargoyle, she once again decided to accompany him for his search for a cure and the two went on the road.

Personality

Aside from the obvious, the biggest change to her would be mental. As Jennifer Walters, she had been described as a "wall flower" by former classmates, This was not the case for She-Hulk. Finding confidence in herself and her look she became an over the top femme fatale. Flirtatious and often dressing to attract attention.

Attributes

Powers

Seemingly those of the Jennifer Walters of Earth-616.

Weaknesses

She-Hulk only felt weak because she was overdoing it. She took advantage of her superior athletics for a long time without rest, building up a lot of fatigue.

Notes

  • Voiced by Lisa Zane in season one and Cree Summer in season two.
  • She-Hulk appeared in 1996 The Incredible Hulk animated series. She was voiced by Lisa Zane in season one and Cree Summer in season two. The series again had a slightly altered origin, Jennifer Walters being Bruce Banner's cousin who receives a blood transfusion after being injured by attacking robotic minions of Doctor Doom. Another notable difference was that in a nod to the Sensational era, this transformation was effectively one way and she greatly enjoyed her new form. She only appeared in two episodes in season one, but practically pushed Hulk aside for center stage in season two in an unsuccessful effort to broaden the appeal of the series to girls, going from a fun and interesting character to an over the top yet comical femme fatale in season two. This revision was reviled by most fans of the show and frequently mentioned as its cause for cancellation.
  • The style in which she is drawn is slightly different between the first season and second season. During the first two episodes she was featured in She Hulk was shown as appearing more muscular. However afterwards these were smoothed out to make her appear more feminine.
