* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Invoked in ''ComicBook/TheAvengers (2018) #20'', which opens with Jennifer Walters presiding as judge over a court case in which the classic She-Hulk debates the new "Fem Hulk" form over whether or not she deserves to be the dominant She-Hulk identity, which dissolves into an outright brawl between the two as classic She-Hulk demands Fem Hulk be erased from existence. It's then revealed that this is actually Jen using tech in the new Celestial corpse-turned-Avengers [=HQ=] to engage in "psychoactive calisthenics" to try and gain better control over her new identity.
** Taken UptoEleven during Jason Aaron's "Fem Hulk" run, where Jen gets a {{gonk}}y new form that looks more like her cousin, picks up his bad temper and some of his angstiness, and likewise reverts to his [[HulkSpeak iconic speech patterns]].
** Subverted with the "Fem Hulk" identity she morphed into after ComicBook/CivilWarII, which is far more aggressive, bad-tempered and generally ticked off at the world.
* {{Gonk}}: The post-ComicBook/CivilWarII identity she attained, which fans sometimes call "Fem Hulk", is closer in design aesthetics to She-Thing than any of the previous She-Hulks. It's essentially Bruce's Savage Hulk identity (in either gray or green) with breasts; a hulking, ogre-like figure with muscle-swollen, almost disproportionate limbs, hunched back, and heavy facial bones. Although just how monstrous it looks is another case of DependingOnTheArtist, it's very much ''not'' her traditional giant green super-model form.

* TakeThatCritics: ''ComicBook/TheAvengers (2018) #20'' is literally an entire issue dedicated to Jen mentally (and in some cases verbally) mocking and deriding all of the audience who have complained about the "Fem Hulk" identity she developed under Jason Aaron. Highlights include a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind where she fights off "Classic She-Hulk" who is demanding that "Fem-Hulk" be erased, mentally recalling the time she verbally called Bruce Banner out for admitting he envied how She-Hulk was better accepted than he was because he didn't understand that it came at the cost of sexual harassment, snapping at ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} that she prefers the freedom of being ugly and mean when he asks her why she can't go back to being fun again, and concluding that she's never felt happier with herself than she has since she underwent this transformation. To say that this issue was not well received would be an understatement.

->''"She-Hulk has the potential to be our Franchise/WonderWoman. A powerful female with a strong moral center and a determination to do what's right. She's also a unique combination of brains and brawn. The ideal She-Hulk story is one that plays on both aspects of her make-up."''
-->-- '''Creator/PeterDavid'''
Once upon a time, there was Bruce Banner, whose gamma-irradiated blood made him the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk. He keeps going on about how [[CatchPhrase you wouldn't like him when he's angry]], but he's actually pretty damn popular. Creator/MarvelComics, knowing as they do the power of a DistaffCounterpart, were quick to snag the name ''She-Hulk'' for trademark reasons. Thus, Bruce Banner's lawyerly cousin, Jennifer Walters, became gravely injured and [[EmergencyTransformation received an emergency transfusion]] of his irradiated blood, becoming first The Savage, and then, eventually, The ComicBook/SensationalSheHulk: "The Second Strongest One There Is". The character first appeared in ''Savage She-Hulk'' #1 (February, 1980), created by Creator/StanLee and John Buscema.
She-Hulk's JekyllAndHyde tendencies are rather more subtle than the Hulk's. Jennifer Walters is a slightly timid, insecure lawyer who, under the effects of gamma radiation, can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting voluntarily transform]] into the [[StatuesqueStunner seven-foot-tall]] green-skinned AmazonianBeauty. She-Hulk acts out the fantasies Jen finds too intimidating, becoming both a [[ActionGirl powerful warrior]] and a voluptuous [[TheLadette flirtatious party girl]]. In fact, for a long time she was [[ShapeshifterModeLock permanently stuck]] [[CursedWithAwesome in her super-powered form]] and ''didn't mind at all'', and friends and close allies regularly addressed her by her human name, thus implying -- [[DependingOnTheWriter at least under most writers]] -- that the only differences between the She-Hulk and Jennifer Walters personas were of physical nature. Retaining her human intelligence, she was able to pursue a successful career as a lawyer despite being a [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe green-skinned]] [[AmazonianBeauty amazon]], and had a much better control of her temper than her cousin (although, for Jennifer Walters, it is ''fear'' that is the trigger of InvoluntaryShapeshifting, not anger). She's a [[MsFanservice sex symbol]] both within the Franchise/MarvelUniverse and without. Oh, and occasionally she [[AllAmazonsWantHercules had romantic/erotic dreams of Hercules]]. ''Literally'', since Herc exists as a real person in the Creator/{{Marvel}} [[SharedUniverse Universe]]. About two decades after turning her into She-Hulk for good, the permanence of this state was reverted, and psychological problems that had never really been an issue before were [[{{Retcon}} introduced]].
She's been a member of ComicBook/TheAvengers as well as the ComicBook/FantasticFour, [[ComicBook/{{FF}} Future Foundation]], ComicBook/TheDefenders, ComicBook/HeroesForHire, ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} and created the "Lady Liberators", to take down the ComicBook/RedHulk. Her solo title got cancelled (for the fourth time), but she rejoined the Fantastic Four. After ''ComicBook/FallOfTheHulks'' and ''[=WWH=]'', she's joined her cousin in the team book ''Incredible Hulks'' (written by Greg Pak), the first time they've been on a team together. She also co-starred with the Hulk's daughter Lyra in the mini-series ''She-Hulks'' (written by Harrison Wilcox).
During She-Hulk's second run under John Byrne, she became completely [[FourthWallObserver Fourth Wall Savvy]], and once even [[MediumAwareness ran across advertisements trying to reach the next page]]. (Meanwhile, in a guest appearance in the parodistic ''ComicBook/DamageControl'' title, her medium awareness was parodied, depicting her as a crazy lunatic who ''believes she's a character in a comic book''. And the same issue subverted ''that'' by having her ''react to a caption pointing this out''. Too bad she never had a crossover with ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}''... until ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', and later [[https://therapyincomics.wordpress.com/2014/10/10/deadpool-75th-anniversary-photobomb-variant-gallery/she-hulk-9-incentive-mike-mckone-deadpool-75th-anniversary-photobomb-variant/ this homage]] to Byrne.) During the Dan Slott run, when Jen learns that Marvel comics are canon accounts of actual events & authentic enough to be admissible as evidence in court, she's asked if she possesses the ability of fourth wall breaking and she replies -- while looking directly at the FourthWall -- that of course she doesn't.
Creator/CharlesSoule -- himself a practicing attorney -- launched a new ongoing series of Jen's solo title in 2014, placing an emphasis on her non-superhero occupation as lawyer and featuring ComicBook/{{Hellcat}} as her new private investigator. Due to low sales, the title only ran for twelve issues before getting canceled a year later.
Following the end of Soule's run on her title, Jen showed up in the pages of G. Willow Wilson's ''ComicBook/AForce'' --Marvel's new (all-female) team of Avengers-- as their leader. She'll also be a supporting character in Creator/KateLeth's ''ComicBook/PatsyWalkerAKAHellcat'' ongoing series, following Soule's lead in continuing Jen's newfound friendship with Patsy.
In December 2016, another comic was launched with She-Hulk as the lead, this time entitled simply ''Hulk''. She-Hulk, after being in a coma due to the events of ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'' and learning that she lost someone very close during it, must now process her trauma and learn to overcome her anger. Notable for leaning towards a darker storyline and having a ''grey'' She-Hulk, this book is written by Mariko Tamaki and drawn by Nico Leon.
In June 2017, it was revealed that Jennifer will go back to being the normal green-skinned She-Hulk as part of the ''ComicBook/MarvelLegacy'' initiative. ''Hulk'' will be retitled ''She-Hulk'' and be given the Legacy numbering of #159 (combining all of her runs)
In modern comics, Jennifer Walters is one of two She-Hulks. The other one is Lyra, the young adult daughter of Bruce Banner and Thundra, who was raised 300 years into the future where the world is a matriarchy society that is act war with men. Lyra was a student at ComicBook/AvengersAcademy and assisted Doctor Strange during the [[ComicBook/FearItself Serpent War]]. The two She-Hulks had starred in a mini-series titled ''She-Hulks''.
ComicBook/BettyRoss had been turned into a "Red She-Hulk" for a few years as the result of the Leader's machinations before being depowered. She was a member of a recent incarnation of ComicBook/TheDefenders and briefly starred in her own solo series.
Like her male counterpart, ComicBook/SheHulk has appeared in ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'', though as always with an UltimateUniverse counterpart, there are some changes: Jennifer Walters is still involved, but ''not'' as She-Hulk; in this continuity, Jennifer Walters is no relative of Banner's and is, instead, a female scientist who manages to create an "improved" version of the Hulk serum that doesn't affect the subject's mind. However, it is ''Betty Ross'' who steals the serum and uses it to become She-Hulk.

!!ComicBook/SheHulk provides examples of:
!General Tropes
* ActionGirl: Of course! They are related to the Incredible Hulk after all!
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Jen and Lyra are both gamma green.
* AmazonianBeauty: Jennifer is the MarvelUniverse's standout example, and she has company in Lyra. The only notable exception was in ''Sensational She-Hulk #16'' (Vol. 1, May 1990), where Jen temporarily assumed a [[http://marvel.wikia.com/File:Sensational_She_Hulk_Vol_1_15_page_06_Jennifer_Walters_%28Earth-616%29.jpg Grey She-Hulk form]]. She's even taller and even more muscular, but is quite {{Gonk}} and uses [[HulkSpeak a speech pattern similar to that of her cousin]]. In many respects, it's like the anti-Grey Hulk/Joe Fixit.
* BadAssFamily: They both are related to Bruce Banner. Jennifer is his cousin and Lyra is his daughter.
** Lyra also has Thundra as her mother.
* {{Fanservice}}: Aside from a long tradition of swimsuit-style costumes and {{Stripperific}} civilian wear, both have had nude scenes.
* ParentalSubstitute: Bruce Banner invoked this trope with Jen and Lyra -- after a brief talk with his daughter he has decided that, coming from a world where men and women live separately, she doesn't need a father, but has serious issues about ParentalAbandonment on her mother's side, so he asked Jen to become her legal guardian and help her get a normal life.
* ShesGotLegs: At seven feet tall, a good majority of Jennifer's height is in her gorgeous green gams, and the artists work that.
** Lyra gets the same treatment in the She-Hulks mini-series with a new costume, especially in this [[http://i.imgur.com/PaPPdUw.jpg cover]].
* StatuesqueStunner: Jennifer and Lyra both qualify.
* SuperStrength: Both gained this from Bruce.

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/she-hulk_vol1_no1_7112.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:SMASH!]]
* AbortedArc: A [[LampshadeHanging lampshade was hung]] on it in the penultimate issue of Dan Slott's run, in which the characters were forced under threat of death to give the reader a high speed run-through of how all the arcs were ''intended'' to have worked out, before being interrupted by the ComicBook/CivilWar and Comicbook/WorldWarHulk crossover events.
* AbusiveAdvertising: On the cover of the [[http://www.comics.org/issue/46244/cover/4/ first issue]] of her ''Sensational'' run, She-Hulk addresses the reader, saying that if her book gets cancelled she'll destroy all your ''ComicBook/XMen'' comics. Then on [[http://www.comics.org/issue/93403/cover/4/ the last issue]] she [[BrickJoke demands]] you turn over your ''X-Men''s for destruction.
* AcidTripDimension: During Steve Gerber's run on ''The Sensational She-Hulk'', she teamed up with Howard the Duck for an adventure visiting several dimensions, including one that consisted of nothing but giant slices of baloney floating through an endless void, which were fed on by little flying gargoyle creatures who would gleefully shout "Blo-neeeee!"
* AdrenalineMakeover: Though it's not adrenaline that does it so much as deadly radiation. It's played with in more recent stories, where she starts taking her normal meek persona more seriously and comes out of shell as Jen as well, without letting her hair down or taking off the glasses.
* AmoralAttorney: Averted, although facing a seven-foot tall Amazon with green skin on a witness stand can be ''very'' intimidating...
* ApatheticCitizens: Titania, armed with the gem of infinite power, destroyed the Timely Plaza in her quest for revenge against She-Hulk. It became a war zone, and everybody escaped... except the guys in a comic book store nearby. They are wise enough to realize that no character is ever hurt during a superhero fight, except perhaps a charismatic character, to boost sales.
* {{Archnemesis}}: [[EvilIsSexy Supervillainess]] [[JerkassWoobie Titania]], a [[TheBrute fellow]] AmazonianBeauty and [[FoeYay longstanding foe]] of Jen's. Notably, she may be the ''only'' female on Earth to rival She-Hulk in terms of [[SuperStrength power]] and [[SuperToughness durability]] (she, like Jen, can also augment her strength level through [[TrainingFromHell rigorous, prolonged weight-lifting training]]). See also: EvilCounterpart.
* BetweenMyLegs: [[http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3442/3290044053_f044aaf10b.jpg The cover]] of Savage ''ComicBook/SheHulk'' #2.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a lot nicer than Bruce, but also scary when she is angry.
* [[BigSisterInstinct Big Cousin Instinct]]: She's very protective of her cousin and can go in a rage if something happens to him. Like when she found out Iron Man and his team had exiled him into space.
* BoobsOfSteel: The bustiest superheroine in the Marvel universe, she is also one of, if not the strongest woman in the Marvel universe.
* BoxingLessonsForSuperman: While she was training to fight the Champion. Even more relevant to the trope, she trained in her ''human'' form, so that when she [[HulkingOut Hulked Out]], she would be exponentially stronger.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: One of Jen super-powers, though whether she gets it from [[ILoveNuclearPower gamma radiation]] is anyone's guess. Since her own title isn't as much of a GagSeries as it used to be, she doesn't do it that often, but one memorable scene in an early '00s run has her address the narrator while her supporting cast watches her apparently talk to herself. In her 100th issue, she is asked whether she really can see through the fourth wall, and she responds "No, I can't" - looking straight at the reader and smiling.
** In another example, she actually crushes a narration box out of anger (she'd just been attacked) and tosses it out the window, nearly hitting Spider-Man!
** The covers during JohnByrne's historical run on her book are famous for loads of fourth wall breaking. The most famous are her naked using the Comics Code logo to cover herself and Volume 2 Issue 1, in which she warns the readers that, if they don't buy her book, she'll rip up all their ''Comicbook/XMen'' comics. Sixty issues later, when the run's final issue came out, [[BrickJoke an angry Shulkie tells the readers that she warned them and to hand the X-Men comics over!]]
* UsefulNotes/{{The Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}}: She-Hulk was created firmly in the Bronze Age. She shares this with ComicBook/SpiderWoman and ComicBook/MsMarvel, since {{Distaff Counterpart}}s were all the rage in that era.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Often as an actual lawyer at that. She's also worked for a Bunny Ears Law ''Firm''.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Played with. By taking boxing lessons and working out intensely in her human form, her hulk-form's strength was multiplied.
* ClothingDamage: Frequently. A rather (in)famous panel from the ''Sensational She-Hulk'' graphic novel has her wearing a shredded top after getting shot at by several soldiers - in a truly amazing victory for GettingCrapPastTheRadar, her nipples are [[http://www.tradereadingorder.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/The-Sensational-She-Hulk-Getting-Lucky.jpg clearly visible]], barely covered by what's left of the shirt. The inker revealed that he added them in without JohnByrne's approval and that deadline crunch was most likely the reason they weren't caught.
* CosmeticAward: Titania, armed with the gem of infinite power, is too much for She-Hulk, but can't see her when she's in human form, [[AWizardDidIt because of an enchantment of the Scarlet Witch]]. So, how can she beat her? She requested the aid of fanboys at a comic book store, who figured out the working of the gems and received a glitzy and glamorous [[CosmeticAward No-Prize]].
* CourtroomAntics: When at her best, Jennifer basically fills the role of WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw set in the MarvelUniverse.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: In the 2014 comic, Jennifer is denied a bonus by her bosses who brag about their expensive rainforest Madripoor table, and quits when they tell her flat out they didn't hire her for her skill as a lawyer, but because of her presumed super hero connections. Jen gives them a good telling off for this.
** This isn't the first time this has happened to her, though it was much more sympathetic last time since [[spoiler:her boss wanted to use her position as an Avenger, so he could take custody of his misguided super-villain granddaughter from prison. Jen is angry, but decides to forgive him.]]
* CursedWithAwesome: Shortly before the start of Sensational She-Hulk, She-Hulk was "gene-locked" following the events of her graphic novel, resulting in her permanently being big and green. She was completely unfazed by this -- but when Dan Slott took on the 3rd run of her solo title, he retconned the condition to being a purely psychological one. Either way, she ''likes'' being a superstrong, sexy, vivacious bombshell. Go figure.
* DeadpanSnarker: Jen [[DependingOnTheWriter sometimes]] exhibits signs of this. She's usually this mostly when she's in a group (usually Comicbook/{{the Avengers}} or [[AmazonBrigade Lady Liberators]]).
* DependingOnTheArtist: During her Savage incarnation, she was statuesque with the vague hint of muscle tone but with wild hair. Under John Byrne she morphed into a green super model with massive 80s hair. During Dan Slott's run, Juan Bobillo gave her more bulk but because of his style, she often appeared pudgy rather than muscular. When PAD took over the title, Jen was consistently shown to be both tall and impressively muscular in her Hulk form -- a trend which has been followed since the discontinuation of her solo title.
* DependingOnTheWriter: She's been an exact female copy of the Hulk, a FourthWall [[BreakingTheFourthWall Breaker]], FunPersonified, and even downright serious.
* DistaffCounterpart:
** Supposedly, She-Hulk was spawned as a direct consequence of a ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'' clip that involved a woman getting big and green and bursting out of her clothes -- She-Hulk being the response to ensure they had a copyright on the character. [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2015/01/30/comic-book-legends-revealed-508/#more-181041 But Comic Book Resources has debunked this story.]]
** The rumor at the time was that CBS was planning a spin-off of the wildly successful Hulk series based on a female version of the Hulk. Marvel assumed CBS would still have to pay royalties, until ''The Benny Hill Show'' sketch came along (again, as noted above, this has been debunked, mainly because the Benny Hill sketch appeared one year after She-Hulk's debut). When Marvel's lawyers confirmed that Marvel wouldn't see a red cent from CBS should they go forward with their plans, they couldn't rush the first issue of She-Hulk out fast enough. The whole thing ended up being moot anyway, since CBS didn't go through with the spin-off for fear of being labeled "The Superhero Network".
* DoesNotLikeShoes: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zigzagged]], much like the rest of her costume. When she puts an uniform on in advance, she usually wears them.
* DrowningMySorrows: In the 2014 She-Hulk, Jen hangs out in a lawyer bar to drown her sorrows after losing a really high paying job. Considering she was still lucid after two doubles, she may have more work than most given her gamma-enhanced metabolism.
** Explicitly shown in the first issue of the Slott series. She-Hulk spends a night drowning her sorrows after losing her job and getting kicked out of Avengers Mansion. Holden Holliway, lawyer extraordinaire, shows up to offer her a dream job, but only as Jennifer Walters - not as the She-Hulk. She takes him up on the challenge and un-Hulkifies immediately. She loses her gamma metabolism and about 300 pounds of body mass without changing the amount of alcohol in her system. The result is going from mildly melancholy to passed-out-drunk in the space of three panels, pausing only to puke all over Holliway's shoes on her way down.
* EffortlessAmazonianLift: As a RunningGag, no less.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Do ''not'' call her "Shulkie". She even gets mad at Ben Grimm for calling her that. (And ''him'' she ''likes''.)
* EndOfSeriesAwareness:
** A [[http://www.comics.org/issue/46244/cover/4/ rather]] [[http://www.comics.org/issue/93403/cover/4/ threatening]] version.
** Also counts as BrickJoke, as this series ran for nearly five years.
* EthicalSlut: Jennifer Walters aka ComicBook/SheHulk is one of the nicest, most idealistic characters in the Marvel Universe, enjoys sleeping with others as long as it is consensual on both sides, and has one of the longest lists of partners of anyone in the MU. Note that this is only in her She-Hulk form.
* EvilCounterpart: [[JerkassWoobie Titania]] and Red She-Hulk. However, Titania didn't start out as evil at all (at least according to her flashback arc), just severely victimized, out of options, [[SmugSuper severely personality-changed]] by Doctor Doom's machine, and had fallen into bad company. It was later that she turned into a murderous asshole. Red She-Hulk also started out nice, but had experiments performed on her mind that turned her much nastier than she used to be. Insane, arrogant, and possibly ruthless, but turns out she is more of an AntiHero as shown in her own series.
* ExploitingTheFourthWall: In one issue, She-Hulk escapes from a trap by ripping a hole in the page, leading the other characters across two pages of ads, and ripping back into the story at a later point in the story.
* FantasticLegalWeirdness: The Dan Slott and Charles Soule runs on her solo title, in particular, concentrated on weird legal issues such as somebody suing for compensation because they didn't like the results of their accidental Superhero Origin, or Dr. Doom's son claiming political asylum after a fight with his dad.
* FunPersonified: The Dan Slott series, and the ''She-Hulks'' run is also a lot of fun.
* GeniusBruiser: Jen, who helps pioneer the field of superhuman law when she's not kicking butt. Pug, a supporting character from Slott's run, also counts. He paid for law school by working as a {{bouncer}}, and it shows.
* GentleGiant: She's extremely tall and muscular (as mentioned above) and is one of the nicest characters in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse.
* GoodBadGirl: She's one of the Marvel Universe's most openly and happily sexually active superheroines, and rarely gets slut-shamed by the narrative for enjoying casual sex. Other characters in the story may not be so accepting. . .
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Lampshaded. When she was working as a SHIELD agent after ComicBook/CivilWar, they captured the Abomination, and reported to the new head of SHIELD, a man standing in the shadows. Who complains that it is a shame that a $900,000,000 airship apparently can't have good illumination, and steps to the light. This man, [[LateArrivalSpoiler as everybody should have already known by then]], is [[spoiler:Tony Stark]].
* HelloAttorney: She is a famous lawyer. A hot green lawyer.
* HeroDoesPublicService: In one story Jen volunteers with Green Cross (an organization devoted to helping victims of {{the Hulk}}'s actions) to clean up the town that she herself trashed during one of her own rampages. Initially, she works incognito, but ultimately comes out as She-Hulk to expose a woman who's trying to use She-Hulk's actions to cover up her murdering her husband.
* HilaritySues: Her third series, written by Dan Slott, began as ''WesternAnimation/{{Harvey Birdman|AttorneyAtLaw}}'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY in the Marvel Universe]]. Hercules was sued for battery, Starfox for [[PowerPerversionPotential sexual harassment]], and [[ComicBook/SpiderMan J. Jonah Jameson]] for libel, among others. Charles Soule's series in 2014 returned to the world of superhero law for several plots, starting with Doctor Doom's son claiming political asylum in the USA.
* {{The Hero}}ine: Of the Lady Liberators.
* HollywoodLaw: Jennifer is very good lawyer, and she should be able to use that solve a lot of problems. In the ''Sensational She-Hulk'' graphic novel, she is arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D. She-Hulk asks to see the arrest warrant, only to be told that they do not need one. She is then strip-searched in front of a large number of soldiers (she asked them; [[FanService they wanted to see her jump rope naked]]). In the ''She-Hulk Ceremony, Part II'' graphic novel, a group comes to literally bulldoze the Native American Reservation where her fiancé lives, with no legal process, because laws do not protect Native Americans. In both cases, the authors wanted She-Hulk fighting a battle with her fists, and not fighting one in a court room, so her legal skill was rendered useless, so the legal system in Marvel Universe is modified to accommodate more action.
* HorribleHollywood: ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12, in which Jen travels to Hollywood to investigate a movie being made about her.
* HulkingOut: Not as much or as often as the TropeNamer, but it does happen. She used to be just like her cousin in every way but the vocabulary but this was revealed to be caused by a degenerative blood disease. Once ComicBook/{{Morbius}} treated it, Jen's transformations became easier for her to control.
* IJustWantToBeBeautiful: The 2011 run of She-Hulk showed that Jennifer may have issues concerning her normal body. She regards her regular appearance as 'plain' and 'boring', and is surprised when men would rather spend time with the mousy little brunette than her StatuesqueStunner form.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Unlike Bruce Banner, who does not want to turn into Hulk and [[IJustWantToBeNormal wants to be normal]], being She-Hulk has several advantages for Jennifer Walters: power, beauty, fame, an adventurous life, keeps her intellect and personality, etc. So, when she can, she stays as She-Hulk all the time, and when she can't, she does whatever it takes to return to that permanent state.
* IvyLeagueForEveryone: Averted, and how. Jen went to UCLA Law, which is consistently ranked #15 or #16 among U.S. law schools and is the best law school in Southern California.
* KnuckleCracking: In the 2014 title, Jennifer does this along with a PreAssKickingOneLiner.
* TheLadette: Bluntly and unapologetically sexual, loves to beat up evildoers, and in some versions also fond of booze and partying.
* LeotardOfPower: A purple and white one is her most common attire unless she's in a courtroom.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Bruce Banner/The Hulk. She's really protective of him too (though he usually can take care of himself). She-Hulk beat the crap out of ComicBook/IronMan after she found out he exiled Bruce into deep space.
* ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex: One boyfriend, the unpowered John, did not like the idea of coitus with the superpowered She-Hulk.
-->'''Jen:''' And if things get too... you know, just use the safe word.\\
'''John:''' No kidding. I've got a few more "safe words," like "Ow!" and "Dear God!" and "crushed pelvis".
* MagicalNativeAmerican: She-Hulk was engaged to one of these in the 1980s.
* MediumAwareness: The series ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' is famous for its characters' acknowledgement of the comic medium, including climbing across panel borders, referencing captions, and other related awareness.
** When she gained her sidekick Weezi, Shulkie asked how Weezi was able to walk between comic panels, only to be told that it's similar to the way She-Hulk is able to talk to the reader. It's also because Weezi is an ex-comic heroine herself (from Marvel's predecessor in the 1940s), who used the same schtick in her series. Weezi knows that she was aware that she and her (late) husband began aging in "real time" because they were no longer appearing regularly in published stories, and thus deliberately insinuated herself into Shulkie's life (and then-new series).
** In one issue, the book's editor, Renee, kidnapped Creator/JohnByrne and locked him BoundAndGagged in a closet so she and She-Hulk could find a new writer for the book. The issue ended with She-Hulk [[SelfDeprecation accidentally killing Byrne]].
** Parodied in an issue of ''ComicBook/DamageControl'', which made She-Hulk ''look like a lunatic who thinks she's a comic book character''. Then again, she directly responded to the text captions pointing this out, so... Does that make it a subverted parody?
** And in Marvel's short-lived ''Heroes for Hire'' series, Shulkie regularly got into arguments with the third-person narrator... until she fired him.
** In ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', She-Hulk has special dialogue with Deadpool [[LampshadeHanging where she mentions how popular she was in the early 90's, as well as her own habit of breaking the fourth wall]]. In another quote, she threatens to kick Deadpool's butt should there ever be a ''Marvel Vs. Capcom 4''.
* MonsterModesty: Jen is a rare {{Fanservice}} version of this trope.
* MostCommonSuperpower: One issue of Dan Slott's run established in court of law that she has the largest breasts of any MU heroine. Whether or not this is an InformedAttribute is something that [[DependingOnTheArtist varies]].
* MsFanservice: A buxom AmazonianBeauty clad in a LeotardOfPower, get frequent ClothingDamage and provide the page image for Fanservice.
** Just few examples during Byrne's run. In first several pages of ''Sensational She-Hulk'' #40, She-Hulk is skipping rope, apparently naked (due to a simple joke she made in the letters column) until is not stopped by editor (actually isn't actually naked, but was wearing skimpy undies that were hidden by the blur lines). In ''Sensational She-Hulk'' #45, nearly all the story is filled with big and casual pinup of Jen that steal the spotlight from the actual story narred in the box.
* MuggingTheMonster: A rather humorous example happened to her after the Stamford disaster. An angry mob of anti-superhero protestors had formed outside of the courthouse where she -- as Jennifer -- was defending two surviving members of the New Warriors. One guy recognized her and grabbed her, shouting "I've got She-Hulk!" Then she turned into her large, green size, and said, "Okay, you've got She-Hulk. Now what?" The response? "I. . . Uh. . . Guess I DidntThinkThisThrough."
* MyHorseIsAMotorbike: The time-displaced Western hero Two-Gun Kid receives a sky-cycle as a gift from his descendant Hawkeye via VideoWill. The Kid explicitly compares it to a horse.
* NeverLiveItDown: Despite likely being the genuinely nicest hero on the planet, people everywhere (writers, readers, in-universe characters) keep focusing on her somewhat [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking promiscuous sex life]].
** That goes double for the Juggernaut incident.
** She-Hulk was once called to the stand as a (hostile) witness for the defense of The Leader. The defense attorney (who worked at Jen's own law firm!) was seeking to prove that The Leader was not wholly responsible for his actions, as gamma radiation poisoning affects a person's personality, rather like a mind-altering substance. Jen had to go through her list of lovers as She-Hulk (which took ''quite'' some time), then as Jennifer Walters (which was all of two names). She-Hulk was supremely embarrassed, and even went on a small character arc of examining if her behavior really was all that different as She-Hulk versus as Jen. The Leader was so amused he declared it didn't matter if he got the chair, seeing Jen publicly humiliated was WorthIt.
* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]:
** Arguably the kindest and most idealistic superheroine in the Marvel Universe, along with Meggan and Kitty Pryde. This includes working as a (considerably less well-paid than corporate) public defense attorney, consistently trying to make the system work for particularly vulnerable groups in society, and running her own disaster relief organization. This on top of her general unpaid rescue work, and being one of the very least murder-happy heroes on the planet. However, her temper can get the best of her at times.
** A time-policing court once sentenced her to [[RetGone erasure]] from history, saying that in any case where she thought herself invaluable some other super-strong heroine could have filled in. The counter argument came in the form of her ''clients''. She-Hulk is rather fungible, but Jen Walters is completely irreplaceable.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed:
** Parodied in ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12, when Jen is ambushed by an ''Series/EntertainmentTonight'' film crew led by Mary Hart.
--->'''She-Hulk:''' Shouldn't we be giving you a parody name or something? Like Mary Spleen?\\
'''Mary Hart:''' Get real. Like we ''care'' if we're in a comic book.
** Later in the same issue, it's revealed that Jen is going to be played in a biopic by the petite starlet "[[Creator/PiaZadora P. Isadora]]". Jen immediately lampshades the fact that ''her'' name got changed.
* NoFourthWall: ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' series written by John Byrne. She-Hulk knew that she was in a comic book and took advantage of the fact. In one issue, she escapes from a trap by ripping a hole in the page, walking across two pages of ads, and ripping her way back into the story at a later point.
* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: Somewhat perversely, despite She-Hulk racking up the notches on the bedpost, she ends up marrying Captain John Jameson, who expresses a genuine dislike of her being She-Hulk (see ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex above for a typical bedtime conversation between them). Jen was kind of a hypocrite, since she also had problems with his Man-wolf form because Captain John Jameson mauled one of her co-workers while in said transformation.
** Her co-worker Pug -- who had a pretty serious crush/unrequited love thing going on -- regularly seemed uncomfortable with Jennifer when she was in her She-Hulk form, actively encouraging her to remain in her normal human form. Possibly a reversal of "ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex" concerns.
** Notably inverted near the start of one of her solo series. She takes a guy to bed after a victory party at Avengers mansion, and when she wakes up, she's reverted to Jennifer in her sleep. She desperately tries to transform into She-Hulk before the guy wakes up, stating in internal monologue that she ''hates'' the part where a guy goes to bed with the Sensational She-Hulk, and wakes up with tiny, mousey Jennifer Walters. Could be part of the ongoing exploration of Jen's own insecurities, but it's implied that she's indeed been with men who weren't as into the Jennifer Walters side of her.
* NotablyQuickDeliberation: In the first issue of the Dan Slott series, Shulkie manages to break the record for the fastest jury deliberation in history, which is initially taken as a sign of her skills as a prosecutor. Unfortunately, the defendants convince the judge to declare a mistrial because She-Hulk saved the world on the day before the verdict came down, which they argued might have unduly influenced the jury.
* OccultLawFirm: Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway specialised in supernatural law, and employed lots of different superhumans, including speedsters as messengers.
* OffModel: ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12, the HorribleHollywood issue, has a few panels depicting the filming of a ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' movie. The colorist gave Geordi Data's skin tone and Riker Geordi's.
* OmnidisciplinaryLawyer: In the Marvel Universe, Jennifer Walters, the She-Hulk, specializes in superhero law, but that includes criminal cases, civil rights law, civil suits and anything else that might come up.
* PervyPatdown: An incident when a {{Jerkass}} agent of ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} forced her to undergo a strip-search with him being the searcher in question and various other [[AllMenArePerverts male]] [=SHIELD=] agents witnessing the event.
* PokeThePoodle: [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ua3w0qhlFNc/VJvQTAp35XI/AAAAAAAADjs/wrV5_fWBhC8/s1600/madasheck.jpg Her attempts]] to be a ''ComicBook/SinCity'' style anti-hero, with art by Creator/FrankMiller himself.
* PowerFist: Sasha Martin, Holden's granddaughter and Jen's temporary ward, has an alien gauntlet permanently fixed over her left hand. It is able to conjure giant hands made out of HardLight.
* PromotionToParent: Holden is able to get his underage granddaughter Sasha (a.k.a. "Southpaw") out of a supervillain prison on the condition that she remain in Jen's custody.
* PunchClockHero: Jen is the retained legal counsel for Luke Cage and Jessica Jones and for their team, the Mighty Avengers. Which means she also joins them in battle should the need arise.
* ReallyGetsAround: Jen has unapologetically slept with a great many people, including Hercules and Iron Man. This is generally played for laughs. For example, when called to testify in a trial, this involved a list of her past sexual partners. It was several meters long, and involved hundreds of entries...
** Though the double standards do piss her off. She once asked IronMan why no one gave him crap for sleeping around (Iron Man being a male example of this trope)... while in bed with him.
** And then there's the ongoing FlameWar about whether she had sex with the Juggernaut, [[FlipFlopOfGod which has been retconned out and brought back in a number of times]]. In this case it's because Juggernaut has repeatedly tried to kill Bruce/The Hulk and many felt it was out of character for her. Especially considering that when she found out that Iron Man [[ComicBook/PlanetHulk exiled Hulk into space]] after having slept with Stark, she got really angry and beat the crap out of him. {{Wolverine}}, another character who ReallyGetsAround, actually refused Jen's advances on the basis that "He didn't want Juggernaut's sloppy seconds," although considering that Wolvie is much worse than she is, and has ''also'' tried to murder her cousin/isn't really much different from Juggernaut, according to the writer, this was simply RuleOfFunny. Then again, Wolverine and Hulk are VitriolicBestBuds.
*** [[spoiler: It was later found out that a parallel universe version of Jen had slept with the Juggernaut.]]
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: She is often subject to embarrassing situations. One of early examples in ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' where a paparazzo took photos of her sunbathing topless (but nobody ultimately knew it was She-Hulk due to an unwitting editor 'correcting' her green skin).
* TheRival: Her relationship with Red She-Hulk/[[spoiler:Betty Ross]] has progressed to this. They also act as [[GoodCopBadCop Good Cop (Jen) and Bad Cop (Red)]] over in ''Incredible Hulks''.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: "Legal", the only name given to Tony Stark's legal troubleshooter, has glasses that cast reflections when other people's ''don't''.
* ShamefulStrip: In the ''Sensational She-Hulk Graphic Novel'' #18, she is forced to strip after being captured by semi-rogue S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Somewhat subverted in that [[ProudBeauty she's found great confidence and positive self-image in her She-Hulk form]]. She even drops her (already Fanservice-y) outfit on the floor and asks "Okay, bright boys, now what? [[MythologyGag Maybe you'd like me to jump rope for you?]]" (Of course, her boyfriend, Wyatt, who is also being held hostage, is clearly ''not'' amused by it any of it, and neither is Dugan when he shows up in the next scene.)
* ShoutOut:
** ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12, the HorribleHollywood issue, has several shout-outs to ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. Benny the Cab has a cameo appearance, and Jen does an inadvertant Roger Rabbit impersonation after having something heavy dropped on her head. Also, the villain's plot turns out to be a rip-off of the plot of ''Film/TheProducers'', which Jen immediately lampshades.
** In the Leader arc during the Dan Slott run, the Leader is drawn by Ty Templeton to look very like Anthony Ainley, who played the somewhat analogous Master in ''Series/DoctorWho''.
** In one Javier Solido-drawn issue of the Charles Soule run, we see that the emblem of Latveria's national airline looks suspiciously like the "Devil's Eyes" symbol from ''ComicBook/{{Grendel}}''.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Invoked. She-Hulk was brought before the Living Tribunal to decide a very important thing: he had found a new [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate universe]], and was considering erasing the Franchise/MarvelUniverse and replacing it with this new one. She-Hulk's defense, at its core, was that [[RuleOfCool her universe was more fun.]] They told her: she narrated a great cosmic story... in less than one page. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as the Registrator was [[TimeBomb about to explode]].
* ThouShaltNotKill: Much more averse to resorting to killing in combat than virtually any Marvel superhero around.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Given her size, any time she's with someone of average height counts as this.
* TrappedInTVLand: She-Hulk met old ComicBook/HowardTheDuck foe Doctor Bong when he set about changing television shows' internal reality (just roll with it) and accidentally zapped her into them. Possibly the most infamously surreal Shulkie story ever.
* TravelMontage: A panel in ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12 shows Jen flying across country in the traditional red-line-on-map format. The next panel shows that her plane literally has an enormous red line trailing behind it, with an airport worker in the background muttering that Indiana Jones has a lot to answer for.
* TrickedIntoSigning: In ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12, the villain uses the old "can I have your autograph?" trick to get Jen's signature on a release form allowing him to make a film of her life.
* TurbineBlender: In one of the first issues of her third series, Jen and her associate Mallory Book are investigating the death of a man who got sucked into a jet engine. As they're looking around the test lab, someone switches the engine on and seals the lab so the two can't escape. Jen figures at the last minute that if she [[HulkOut hulks out]] and shields Book with her body they'll make it through the blades alive. They do, but [[ClothingDamage both their suits are shredded]].
* VaporWear: In her first appearance Jennifer does not wear any underwear [[http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/File:Savage_She-Hulk_Vol_1_11.jpg under her torn dress]].
* VitriolicBestBuds: Odd case with Red She-Hulk. Jen gets along with [[spoiler:Betty Ross]] just fine, but when she turns into Red, [[VolleyingInsults they start trading insults back and forth]].
* WillNotTellALie: She's a very honest individual.
* WithAFootOnTheBus: at the end of Dan Slott's run. Iron Man had [[BroughtDownToNormal Brought Her Down to Normal]], but there was a new She-Hulk in town: a Jennifer Walter from an alternate universe without superhumans, who got powers when moving to the MarvelUniverse. They made a deal: "our" Jennifer would depart to that universe, and the new foreign one would stay. She said goodbye to everybody, Reed Richards sent him thought the dimensional portal, but [[IdeaBulb had an idea]]: he took her back right after she moved to that universe, restoring her powers. So, the MarvelUniverse kept the She-Hulk who had been She-Hulk since the 1970's, and the foreigner left.
* YourCostumeNeedsWork: In ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12, Jen visits the set of a movie being made about her. Several people mistake her for an aspiring actress or stunt double, and they all criticize her "costume".
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Savage She-Hulk / Lyra Walters]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/50cac04abff7508841478f023e37a143.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:You wouldn't like her when she's calm!]]
* AntagonisticOffspring: She tried to commit {{Matricide}} at one point and fought her father at one point, which resulted in her promising to commit {{Patricide}}.
* AntiHeroSubstitute: Both subverted and played straight. Right after Jen's ongoing series was cancelled, ''All-New Savage She-Hulk'' was announced, with Lyra -- as a main protagonist. People were pissed, because it looked like we were going to get a DarkerAndEdgier replacement of Jen. However, as the comics ended, both She-Hulks became very good friends, Jen kept her name and become something like a {{Mentor|s}} for Lyra. Even when Jen was mysteriously PutOnABus Lyra chose to look for her, rather than simply take her place.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: In Hulk# 16 Lyra has several ShirtlessCaptives as her [[SexSlave Sex Slaves]]. Which is both [[BlackComedyRape played for laughs]] and even seen as OK in-universe. [[http://i.imgur.com/VuyyAo6.png She was even high fived for by guys from her world]].
* DuelToTheDeath: In the She-Hulks mini series she suggests this to two boys who ask her out, in order to win a date.
* EvilHero: Unlike regular She-Hulk Lyra is rather violent and has acted rather villainous at times due to the world she grew up in, hence the title ''Savage She-Hulk''. She tried to change but she wasn't making much progress in adapting to the 616.
-->'''Lyra''': You're right. I am not Jennifer Walters. I am nothing like Jennifer Walters. Jennifer Walters is a kind woman and honorable warrior. That is why I was trying to find her. So I could learn from her. For I... [[IAmAMonster am nothing but a monster]].
* FieryRedhead: She's red-haired like her mother.
* FastballSpecial: Does this with the mutant Loa when she joined The Defenders.
* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: Hulk #16 shows Lyra creating an [[{{Matriarchy}} Enlightened Matriarchy]] when she gets trapped in a hellish nightmare dimension run by violent male demons. In only 3 days she had conquered the dimension, enslaved all the men, and put the women in charge where they embraced her as their Empress. Under their rule the dimension had stopped being the hellish nightmare it was back when the men ran it.
* FullFrontalAssault: In ''ComicBook/FallOfTheHulks'' she gets her [[ClothingDamage clothes burnt off]] in a fight with Johnny Storm (Human Torch) and defeats him while naked. This was all apart of her strategy to make him [[DistractedByTheSexy put his guard down]].
-->'''Lyra''': That was a mistake.
-->'''Johnny''': Um...not from where I'm standing.
-->'''Lyra''': They told me you had a weakness for women.
--> '''Johnny''': And that's a bad thing...WHYYYYYYYGGHH!
* HulkingOut: Averted. Her hulk form is her natural state which she was born in and can't turn human on her own and unlike the other Hulks she gets weaker the angrier she gets.
** After World War Hulks, her father had injected her with S.P.I.N. (Super-Power-Inhibiting Nanobots) Technology to negate her anger-driven power drain. This also allowed Lyra to change from Hulk to human form at will and turn into her Hulk form when angry like the rest of her family. However, this alternation was only temporary and her powers had returned to the way they were when she joined The Defenders.
* JekyllAndHyde: Averted, as unlike the rest of the Hulk family, she doesn't have a dual personality.
* LadyLand: She comes from a future where women have conquered most of the world, renaming it The United Sisterhood Republic. They have enslaved most of the males of that time and are at war with a tribe of savage men.
* [[LikeFatherLikeSon Like Mother Like Daughter]]: Lyra eventually stops trying to be like Jennifer and instead rules a society in another dimension where men are enslaved. Not unlike her mother Thundra.
* ParentalAbandonment: Thundra had left Lyra after rising her through childhood for reasons not revealed yet. Lyra greatly resented her mother for it to the point where she wants to kill her.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The reason why she acts as superhero is because she doesn't want to give up being a warrior.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: She is pretty sexist towards men due to her background though she doesn't allow it to get in the way of what she does.
* PutOnABus: During the Omega Hulk storyline all the Hulks with the exception of Bruce, Jennifer, and Lyra were depowered due to there being too many Hulks in the 616. While Lyra kept her powers she was also put to the side by giving up being a hero to live in a dimension which she ruled as Empress. Due to her still having unresolved issues with her mother Thundra, it is likely we will see her again in the future once creators figure out what to do with her.
** She recently showed up in Squadrom Supreme #15. Where she reunited with her mother in Weirdworld.
* SlaveRace: The men on her world. Not that they are any better.
* StrawFeminist: She views men as fools, considers the enslavement of them to be their proper place, and doesn't want much to do with her father because he is a male. None of this is surprising given how she grew up. She has her moments like sparing a boy from a male tribe on her world and even attempted to avenge a male agent as she would do any comrade, but at the end of the day she rather have women be in charge.
* SuperMode: Lyra's technique "Gamma Sight" is this, which she herself developed. This enables her to fight in a trance-like meditative state when she is completely calm and at peace. This state allows her to feel minute traces of gamma rays in every human being and use them to heighten her perception and reflexes, and possesses higher fighting skill than any of her other family members.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: She inherited her powers from her father. As well as her mother's powers, as she overpowered Axon who had absorbed her gamma powers.
** However, it doesn't seem like she had her mother's powers in ''She-Hulks'' as she gets hurt with dodge balls in human form. But this could be due to the S.P.I.N. Bruce gave to her.
* TykeBomb: She was bred to be the Sisterhood's champion and use the power of The Hulk to win the war between the genders. Thundra had time traveled to the past to steal Hulk's DNA (via kissing), went back to her future, and gave birth to Lyra.
* WouldntHurtAChild: She couldn't bring herself to kill a boy of one of the male tribes on her world.
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Yes actually, you would. As a means to keep her under control, scientists engineered her to be an inversion of this trope and get 'weaker' the angrier she gets. She must remain totally calm to use her full strength.

!Jennifer Walters
* HotScientist: She is a very attractive scientist instead of a very attractive lawyer.
* RedHerring: In this universe, is not she that became She-Hulk, but...(see under)
!She-Hulk / Betty Ross
* FullFrontalAssault: She attacked Wolverine while naked.
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: She-Hulk first appears (and is revealed to be Betty Ross) when Wolverine was fighting the Hulk. She interrupted the fight to take on Bruce herself, and after exchanging a few blows, Wolverine notes that he can't tell if they're fighting or @#$%ing. Even earlier, in the first Ultimates arc, Betty has been dismissive and borderline abusive to Bruce. After he Hulks Out again and saves the day by ''eating'' the Chitauri leader, Betty point-blank asks him if it's possible to arrange a conjugal visit.

->''"She-Hulk has the potential to be our Franchise/WonderWoman. A powerful female with a strong moral center and a determination to do what's right. She's also a unique combination of brains and brawn. The ideal She-Hulk story is one that plays on both aspects of her make-up."''
-->-- '''Creator/PeterDavid'''
Once upon a time, there was Bruce Banner, whose gamma-irradiated blood made him the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk. He keeps going on about how [[CatchPhrase you wouldn't like him when he's angry]], but he's actually pretty damn popular. Creator/MarvelComics, knowing as they do the power of a DistaffCounterpart, were quick to snag the name ''She-Hulk'' for trademark reasons. Thus, Bruce Banner's lawyerly cousin, Jennifer Walters, became gravely injured and [[EmergencyTransformation received an emergency transfusion]] of his irradiated blood, becoming first The Savage, and then, eventually, The ComicBook/SensationalSheHulk: "The Second Strongest One There Is". The character first appeared in ''Savage She-Hulk'' #1 (February, 1980), created by Creator/StanLee and John Buscema.
She-Hulk's JekyllAndHyde tendencies are rather more subtle than the Hulk's. Jennifer Walters is a slightly timid, insecure lawyer who, under the effects of gamma radiation, can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting voluntarily transform]] into the [[StatuesqueStunner seven-foot-tall]] green-skinned AmazonianBeauty. She-Hulk acts out the fantasies Jen finds too intimidating, becoming both a [[ActionGirl powerful warrior]] and a voluptuous [[TheLadette flirtatious party girl]]. In fact, for a long time she was [[ShapeshifterModeLock permanently stuck]] [[CursedWithAwesome in her super-powered form]] and ''didn't mind at all'', and friends and close allies regularly addressed her by her human name, thus implying -- [[DependingOnTheWriter at least under most writers]] -- that the only differences between the She-Hulk and Jennifer Walters personas were of physical nature. Retaining her human intelligence, she was able to pursue a successful career as a lawyer despite being a [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe green-skinned]] [[AmazonianBeauty amazon]], and had a much better control of her temper than her cousin (although, for Jennifer Walters, it is ''fear'' that is the trigger of InvoluntaryShapeshifting, not anger). She's a [[MsFanservice sex symbol]] both within the Franchise/MarvelUniverse and without. Oh, and occasionally she [[AllAmazonsWantHercules had romantic/erotic dreams of Hercules]]. ''Literally'', since Herc exists as a real person in the Creator/{{Marvel}} [[SharedUniverse Universe]]. About two decades after turning her into She-Hulk for good, the permanence of this state was reverted, and psychological problems that had never really been an issue before were [[{{Retcon}} introduced]].
She's been a member of ComicBook/TheAvengers as well as the ComicBook/FantasticFour, [[ComicBook/{{FF}} Future Foundation]], ComicBook/TheDefenders, ComicBook/HeroesForHire, ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} and created the "Lady Liberators", to take down the ComicBook/RedHulk. Her solo title got cancelled (for the fourth time), but she rejoined the Fantastic Four. After ''ComicBook/FallOfTheHulks'' and ''[=WWH=]'', she's joined her cousin in the team book ''Incredible Hulks'' (written by Greg Pak), the first time they've been on a team together. She also co-starred with the Hulk's daughter Lyra in the mini-series ''She-Hulks'' (written by Harrison Wilcox).
During She-Hulk's second run under John Byrne, she became completely [[FourthWallObserver Fourth Wall Savvy]], and once even [[MediumAwareness ran across advertisements trying to reach the next page]]. (Meanwhile, in a guest appearance in the parodistic ''ComicBook/DamageControl'' title, her medium awareness was parodied, depicting her as a crazy lunatic who ''believes she's a character in a comic book''. And the same issue subverted ''that'' by having her ''react to a caption pointing this out''. Too bad she never had a crossover with ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}''... until ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', and later [[https://therapyincomics.wordpress.com/2014/10/10/deadpool-75th-anniversary-photobomb-variant-gallery/she-hulk-9-incentive-mike-mckone-deadpool-75th-anniversary-photobomb-variant/ this homage]] to Byrne.) During the Dan Slott run, when Jen learns that Marvel comics are canon accounts of actual events & authentic enough to be admissible as evidence in court, she's asked if she possesses the ability of fourth wall breaking and she replies -- while looking directly at the FourthWall -- that of course she doesn't.
Creator/CharlesSoule -- himself a practicing attorney -- launched a new ongoing series of Jen's solo title in 2014, placing an emphasis on her non-superhero occupation as lawyer and featuring ComicBook/{{Hellcat}} as her new private investigator. Due to low sales, the title only ran for twelve issues before getting canceled a year later.
Following the end of Soule's run on her title, Jen showed up in the pages of G. Willow Wilson's ''ComicBook/AForce'' --Marvel's new (all-female) team of Avengers-- as their leader. She'll also be a supporting character in Creator/KateLeth's ''ComicBook/PatsyWalkerAKAHellcat'' ongoing series, following Soule's lead in continuing Jen's newfound friendship with Patsy.
In December 2016, another comic was launched with She-Hulk as the lead, this time entitled simply ''Hulk''. She-Hulk, after being in a coma due to the events of ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'' and learning that she lost someone very close during it, must now process her trauma and learn to overcome her anger. Notable for leaning towards a darker storyline and having a ''grey'' She-Hulk, this book is written by Mariko Tamaki and drawn by Nico Leon.
In June 2017, it was revealed that Jennifer will go back to being the normal green-skinned She-Hulk as part of the ''ComicBook/MarvelLegacy'' initiative. ''Hulk'' will be retitled ''She-Hulk'' and be given the Legacy numbering of #159 (combining all of her runs)
In modern comics, Jennifer Walters is one of two She-Hulks. The other one is Lyra, the young adult daughter of Bruce Banner and Thundra, who was raised 300 years into the future where the world is a matriarchy society that is act war with men. Lyra was a student at ComicBook/AvengersAcademy and assisted Doctor Strange during the [[ComicBook/FearItself Serpent War]]. The two She-Hulks had starred in a mini-series titled ''She-Hulks''.
ComicBook/BettyRoss had been turned into a "Red She-Hulk" for a few years as the result of the Leader's machinations before being depowered. She was a member of a recent incarnation of ComicBook/TheDefenders and briefly starred in her own solo series.
Like her male counterpart, ComicBook/SheHulk has appeared in ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'', though as always with an UltimateUniverse counterpart, there are some changes: Jennifer Walters is still involved, but ''not'' as She-Hulk; in this continuity, Jennifer Walters is no relative of Banner's and is, instead, a female scientist who manages to create an "improved" version of the Hulk serum that doesn't affect the subject's mind. However, it is ''Betty Ross'' who steals the serum and uses it to become She-Hulk.

!!ComicBook/SheHulk provides examples of:
!General Tropes
* ActionGirl: Of course! They are related to the Incredible Hulk after all!
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Jen and Lyra are both gamma green.
* AmazonianBeauty: Jennifer is the MarvelUniverse's standout example, and she has company in Lyra. The only notable exception was in ''Sensational She-Hulk #16'' (Vol. 1, May 1990), where Jen temporarily assumed a [[http://marvel.wikia.com/File:Sensational_She_Hulk_Vol_1_15_page_06_Jennifer_Walters_%28Earth-616%29.jpg Grey She-Hulk form]]. She's even taller and even more muscular, but is quite {{Gonk}} and uses [[HulkSpeak a speech pattern similar to that of her cousin]]. In many respects, it's like the anti-Grey Hulk/Joe Fixit.
* BadAssFamily: They both are related to Bruce Banner. Jennifer is his cousin and Lyra is his daughter.
** Lyra also has Thundra as her mother.
* {{Fanservice}}: Aside from a long tradition of swimsuit-style costumes and {{Stripperific}} civilian wear, both have had nude scenes.
* ParentalSubstitute: Bruce Banner invoked this trope with Jen and Lyra -- after a brief talk with his daughter he has decided that, coming from a world where men and women live separately, she doesn't need a father, but has serious issues about ParentalAbandonment on her mother's side, so he asked Jen to become her legal guardian and help her get a normal life.
* ShesGotLegs: At seven feet tall, a good majority of Jennifer's height is in her gorgeous green gams, and the artists work that.
** Lyra gets the same treatment in the She-Hulks mini-series with a new costume, especially in this [[http://i.imgur.com/PaPPdUw.jpg cover]].
* StatuesqueStunner: Jennifer and Lyra both qualify.
* SuperStrength: Both gained this from Bruce.
[[folder:Sensational She-Hulk / Jennifer Walters]]
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/she-hulk_vol1_no1_7112.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:SMASH!]]
* AbortedArc: A [[LampshadeHanging lampshade was hung]] on it in the penultimate issue of Dan Slott's run, in which the characters were forced under threat of death to give the reader a high speed run-through of how all the arcs were ''intended'' to have worked out, before being interrupted by the ComicBook/CivilWar and Comicbook/WorldWarHulk crossover events.
* AbusiveAdvertising: On the cover of the [[http://www.comics.org/issue/46244/cover/4/ first issue]] of her ''Sensational'' run, She-Hulk addresses the reader, saying that if her book gets cancelled she'll destroy all your ''ComicBook/XMen'' comics. Then on [[http://www.comics.org/issue/93403/cover/4/ the last issue]] she [[BrickJoke demands]] you turn over your ''X-Men''s for destruction.
* AcidTripDimension: During Steve Gerber's run on ''The Sensational She-Hulk'', she teamed up with Howard the Duck for an adventure visiting several dimensions, including one that consisted of nothing but giant slices of baloney floating through an endless void, which were fed on by little flying gargoyle creatures who would gleefully shout "Blo-neeeee!"
* AdrenalineMakeover: Though it's not adrenaline that does it so much as deadly radiation. It's played with in more recent stories, where she starts taking her normal meek persona more seriously and comes out of shell as Jen as well, without letting her hair down or taking off the glasses.
* AmoralAttorney: Averted, although facing a seven-foot tall Amazon with green skin on a witness stand can be ''very'' intimidating...
* ApatheticCitizens: Titania, armed with the gem of infinite power, destroyed the Timely Plaza in her quest for revenge against She-Hulk. It became a war zone, and everybody escaped... except the guys in a comic book store nearby. They are wise enough to realize that no character is ever hurt during a superhero fight, except perhaps a charismatic character, to boost sales.
* {{Archnemesis}}: [[EvilIsSexy Supervillainess]] [[JerkassWoobie Titania]], a [[TheBrute fellow]] AmazonianBeauty and [[FoeYay longstanding foe]] of Jen's. Notably, she may be the ''only'' female on Earth to rival She-Hulk in terms of [[SuperStrength power]] and [[SuperToughness durability]] (she, like Jen, can also augment her strength level through [[TrainingFromHell rigorous, prolonged weight-lifting training]]). See also: EvilCounterpart.
* BetweenMyLegs: [[http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3442/3290044053_f044aaf10b.jpg The cover]] of Savage ''ComicBook/SheHulk'' #2.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a lot nicer than Bruce, but also scary when she is angry.
* [[BigSisterInstinct Big Cousin Instinct]]: She's very protective of her cousin and can go in a rage if something happens to him. Like when she found out Iron Man and his team had exiled him into space.
* BoobsOfSteel: The bustiest superheroine in the Marvel universe, she is also one of, if not the strongest woman in the Marvel universe.
* BoxingLessonsForSuperman: While she was training to fight the Champion. Even more relevant to the trope, she trained in her ''human'' form, so that when she [[HulkingOut Hulked Out]], she would be exponentially stronger.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: One of Jen super-powers, though whether she gets it from [[ILoveNuclearPower gamma radiation]] is anyone's guess. Since her own title isn't as much of a GagSeries as it used to be, she doesn't do it that often, but one memorable scene in an early '00s run has her address the narrator while her supporting cast watches her apparently talk to herself. In her 100th issue, she is asked whether she really can see through the fourth wall, and she responds "No, I can't" - looking straight at the reader and smiling.
** In another example, she actually crushes a narration box out of anger (she'd just been attacked) and tosses it out the window, nearly hitting Spider-Man!
** The covers during JohnByrne's historical run on her book are famous for loads of fourth wall breaking. The most famous are her naked using the Comics Code logo to cover herself and Volume 2 Issue 1, in which she warns the readers that, if they don't buy her book, she'll rip up all their ''Comicbook/XMen'' comics. Sixty issues later, when the run's final issue came out, [[BrickJoke an angry Shulkie tells the readers that she warned them and to hand the X-Men comics over!]]
* UsefulNotes/{{The Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}}: She-Hulk was created firmly in the Bronze Age. She shares this with ComicBook/SpiderWoman and ComicBook/MsMarvel, since {{Distaff Counterpart}}s were all the rage in that era.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Often as an actual lawyer at that. She's also worked for a Bunny Ears Law ''Firm''.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Played with. By taking boxing lessons and working out intensely in her human form, her hulk-form's strength was multiplied.
* ClothingDamage: Frequently. A rather (in)famous panel from the ''Sensational She-Hulk'' graphic novel has her wearing a shredded top after getting shot at by several soldiers - in a truly amazing victory for GettingCrapPastTheRadar, her nipples are [[http://www.tradereadingorder.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/The-Sensational-She-Hulk-Getting-Lucky.jpg clearly visible]], barely covered by what's left of the shirt. The inker revealed that he added them in without JohnByrne's approval and that deadline crunch was most likely the reason they weren't caught.
* CosmeticAward: Titania, armed with the gem of infinite power, is too much for She-Hulk, but can't see her when she's in human form, [[AWizardDidIt because of an enchantment of the Scarlet Witch]]. So, how can she beat her? She requested the aid of fanboys at a comic book store, who figured out the working of the gems and received a glitzy and glamorous [[CosmeticAward No-Prize]].
* CourtroomAntics: When at her best, Jennifer basically fills the role of WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw set in the MarvelUniverse.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: In the 2014 comic, Jennifer is denied a bonus by her bosses who brag about their expensive rainforest Madripoor table, and quits when they tell her flat out they didn't hire her for her skill as a lawyer, but because of her presumed super hero connections. Jen gives them a good telling off for this.
** This isn't the first time this has happened to her, though it was much more sympathetic last time since [[spoiler:her boss wanted to use her position as an Avenger, so he could take custody of his misguided super-villain granddaughter from prison. Jen is angry, but decides to forgive him.]]
* CursedWithAwesome: Shortly before the start of Sensational She-Hulk, She-Hulk was "gene-locked" following the events of her graphic novel, resulting in her permanently being big and green. She was completely unfazed by this -- but when Dan Slott took on the 3rd run of her solo title, he retconned the condition to being a purely psychological one. Either way, she ''likes'' being a superstrong, sexy, vivacious bombshell. Go figure.
* DeadpanSnarker: Jen [[DependingOnTheWriter sometimes]] exhibits signs of this. She's usually this mostly when she's in a group (usually Comicbook/{{the Avengers}} or [[AmazonBrigade Lady Liberators]]).
* DependingOnTheArtist: During her Savage incarnation, she was statuesque with the vague hint of muscle tone but with wild hair. Under John Byrne she morphed into a green super model with massive 80s hair. During Dan Slott's run, Juan Bobillo gave her more bulk but because of his style, she often appeared pudgy rather than muscular. When PAD took over the title, Jen was consistently shown to be both tall and impressively muscular in her Hulk form -- a trend which has been followed since the discontinuation of her solo title.
* DependingOnTheWriter: She's been an exact female copy of the Hulk, a FourthWall [[BreakingTheFourthWall Breaker]], FunPersonified, and even downright serious.
* DistaffCounterpart:
** Supposedly, She-Hulk was spawned as a direct consequence of a ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'' clip that involved a woman getting big and green and bursting out of her clothes -- She-Hulk being the response to ensure they had a copyright on the character. [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2015/01/30/comic-book-legends-revealed-508/#more-181041 But Comic Book Resources has debunked this story.]]
** The rumor at the time was that CBS was planning a spin-off of the wildly successful Hulk series based on a female version of the Hulk. Marvel assumed CBS would still have to pay royalties, until ''The Benny Hill Show'' sketch came along (again, as noted above, this has been debunked, mainly because the Benny Hill sketch appeared one year after She-Hulk's debut). When Marvel's lawyers confirmed that Marvel wouldn't see a red cent from CBS should they go forward with their plans, they couldn't rush the first issue of She-Hulk out fast enough. The whole thing ended up being moot anyway, since CBS didn't go through with the spin-off for fear of being labeled "The Superhero Network".
* DoesNotLikeShoes: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zigzagged]], much like the rest of her costume. When she puts an uniform on in advance, she usually wears them.
* DrowningMySorrows: In the 2014 She-Hulk, Jen hangs out in a lawyer bar to drown her sorrows after losing a really high paying job. Considering she was still lucid after two doubles, she may have more work than most given her gamma-enhanced metabolism.
** Explicitly shown in the first issue of the Slott series. She-Hulk spends a night drowning her sorrows after losing her job and getting kicked out of Avengers Mansion. Holden Holliway, lawyer extraordinaire, shows up to offer her a dream job, but only as Jennifer Walters - not as the She-Hulk. She takes him up on the challenge and un-Hulkifies immediately. She loses her gamma metabolism and about 300 pounds of body mass without changing the amount of alcohol in her system. The result is going from mildly melancholy to passed-out-drunk in the space of three panels, pausing only to puke all over Holliway's shoes on her way down.
* EffortlessAmazonianLift: As a RunningGag, no less.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Do ''not'' call her "Shulkie". She even gets mad at Ben Grimm for calling her that. (And ''him'' she ''likes''.)
* EndOfSeriesAwareness:
** A [[http://www.comics.org/issue/46244/cover/4/ rather]] [[http://www.comics.org/issue/93403/cover/4/ threatening]] version.
** Also counts as BrickJoke, as this series ran for nearly five years.
* EthicalSlut: Jennifer Walters aka ComicBook/SheHulk is one of the nicest, most idealistic characters in the Marvel Universe, enjoys sleeping with others as long as it is consensual on both sides, and has one of the longest lists of partners of anyone in the MU. Note that this is only in her She-Hulk form.
* EvilCounterpart: [[JerkassWoobie Titania]] and Red She-Hulk. However, Titania didn't start out as evil at all (at least according to her flashback arc), just severely victimized, out of options, [[SmugSuper severely personality-changed]] by Doctor Doom's machine, and had fallen into bad company. It was later that she turned into a murderous asshole. Red She-Hulk also started out nice, but had experiments performed on her mind that turned her much nastier than she used to be. Insane, arrogant, and possibly ruthless, but turns out she is more of an AntiHero as shown in her own series.
* ExploitingTheFourthWall: In one issue, She-Hulk escapes from a trap by ripping a hole in the page, leading the other characters across two pages of ads, and ripping back into the story at a later point in the story.
* FantasticLegalWeirdness: The Dan Slott and Charles Soule runs on her solo title, in particular, concentrated on weird legal issues such as somebody suing for compensation because they didn't like the results of their accidental Superhero Origin, or Dr. Doom's son claiming political asylum after a fight with his dad.
* FunPersonified: The Dan Slott series, and the ''She-Hulks'' run is also a lot of fun.
* GeniusBruiser: Jen, who helps pioneer the field of superhuman law when she's not kicking butt. Pug, a supporting character from Slott's run, also counts. He paid for law school by working as a {{bouncer}}, and it shows.
* GentleGiant: She's extremely tall and muscular (as mentioned above) and is one of the nicest characters in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse.
* GoodBadGirl: She's one of the Marvel Universe's most openly and happily sexually active superheroines, and rarely gets slut-shamed by the narrative for enjoying casual sex. Other characters in the story may not be so accepting. . .
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Lampshaded. When she was working as a SHIELD agent after ComicBook/CivilWar, they captured the Abomination, and reported to the new head of SHIELD, a man standing in the shadows. Who complains that it is a shame that a $900,000,000 airship apparently can't have good illumination, and steps to the light. This man, [[LateArrivalSpoiler as everybody should have already known by then]], is [[spoiler:Tony Stark]].
* HelloAttorney: She is a famous lawyer. A hot green lawyer.
* HeroDoesPublicService: In one story Jen volunteers with Green Cross (an organization devoted to helping victims of {{the Hulk}}'s actions) to clean up the town that she herself trashed during one of her own rampages. Initially, she works incognito, but ultimately comes out as She-Hulk to expose a woman who's trying to use She-Hulk's actions to cover up her murdering her husband.
* HilaritySues: Her third series, written by Dan Slott, began as ''WesternAnimation/{{Harvey Birdman|AttorneyAtLaw}}'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY in the Marvel Universe]]. Hercules was sued for battery, Starfox for [[PowerPerversionPotential sexual harassment]], and [[ComicBook/SpiderMan J. Jonah Jameson]] for libel, among others. Charles Soule's series in 2014 returned to the world of superhero law for several plots, starting with Doctor Doom's son claiming political asylum in the USA.
* {{The Hero}}ine: Of the Lady Liberators.
* HollywoodLaw: Jennifer is very good lawyer, and she should be able to use that solve a lot of problems. In the ''Sensational She-Hulk'' graphic novel, she is arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D. She-Hulk asks to see the arrest warrant, only to be told that they do not need one. She is then strip-searched in front of a large number of soldiers (she asked them; [[FanService they wanted to see her jump rope naked]]). In the ''She-Hulk Ceremony, Part II'' graphic novel, a group comes to literally bulldoze the Native American Reservation where her fiancé lives, with no legal process, because laws do not protect Native Americans. In both cases, the authors wanted She-Hulk fighting a battle with her fists, and not fighting one in a court room, so her legal skill was rendered useless, so the legal system in Marvel Universe is modified to accommodate more action.
* HorribleHollywood: ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12, in which Jen travels to Hollywood to investigate a movie being made about her.
* HulkingOut: Not as much or as often as the TropeNamer, but it does happen. She used to be just like her cousin in every way but the vocabulary but this was revealed to be caused by a degenerative blood disease. Once ComicBook/{{Morbius}} treated it, Jen's transformations became easier for her to control.
* IJustWantToBeBeautiful: The 2011 run of She-Hulk showed that Jennifer may have issues concerning her normal body. She regards her regular appearance as 'plain' and 'boring', and is surprised when men would rather spend time with the mousy little brunette than her StatuesqueStunner form.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Unlike Bruce Banner, who does not want to turn into Hulk and [[IJustWantToBeNormal wants to be normal]], being She-Hulk has several advantages for Jennifer Walters: power, beauty, fame, an adventurous life, keeps her intellect and personality, etc. So, when she can, she stays as She-Hulk all the time, and when she can't, she does whatever it takes to return to that permanent state.
* IvyLeagueForEveryone: Averted, and how. Jen went to UCLA Law, which is consistently ranked #15 or #16 among U.S. law schools and is the best law school in Southern California.
* KnuckleCracking: In the 2014 title, Jennifer does this along with a PreAssKickingOneLiner.
* TheLadette: Bluntly and unapologetically sexual, loves to beat up evildoers, and in some versions also fond of booze and partying.
* LeotardOfPower: A purple and white one is her most common attire unless she's in a courtroom.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Bruce Banner/The Hulk. She's really protective of him too (though he usually can take care of himself). She-Hulk beat the crap out of ComicBook/IronMan after she found out he exiled Bruce into deep space.
* ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex: One boyfriend, the unpowered John, did not like the idea of coitus with the superpowered She-Hulk.
-->'''Jen:''' And if things get too... you know, just use the safe word.\\
'''John:''' No kidding. I've got a few more "safe words," like "Ow!" and "Dear God!" and "crushed pelvis".
* MagicalNativeAmerican: She-Hulk was engaged to one of these in the 1980s.
* MediumAwareness: The series ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' is famous for its characters' acknowledgement of the comic medium, including climbing across panel borders, referencing captions, and other related awareness.
** When she gained her sidekick Weezi, Shulkie asked how Weezi was able to walk between comic panels, only to be told that it's similar to the way She-Hulk is able to talk to the reader. It's also because Weezi is an ex-comic heroine herself (from Marvel's predecessor in the 1940s), who used the same schtick in her series. Weezi knows that she was aware that she and her (late) husband began aging in "real time" because they were no longer appearing regularly in published stories, and thus deliberately insinuated herself into Shulkie's life (and then-new series).
** In one issue, the book's editor, Renee, kidnapped Creator/JohnByrne and locked him BoundAndGagged in a closet so she and She-Hulk could find a new writer for the book. The issue ended with She-Hulk [[SelfDeprecation accidentally killing Byrne]].
** Parodied in an issue of ''ComicBook/DamageControl'', which made She-Hulk ''look like a lunatic who thinks she's a comic book character''. Then again, she directly responded to the text captions pointing this out, so... Does that make it a subverted parody?
** And in Marvel's short-lived ''Heroes for Hire'' series, Shulkie regularly got into arguments with the third-person narrator... until she fired him.
** In ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', She-Hulk has special dialogue with Deadpool [[LampshadeHanging where she mentions how popular she was in the early 90's, as well as her own habit of breaking the fourth wall]]. In another quote, she threatens to kick Deadpool's butt should there ever be a ''Marvel Vs. Capcom 4''.
* MonsterModesty: Jen is a rare {{Fanservice}} version of this trope.
* MostCommonSuperpower: One issue of Dan Slott's run established in court of law that she has the largest breasts of any MU heroine. Whether or not this is an InformedAttribute is something that [[DependingOnTheArtist varies]].
* MsFanservice: A buxom AmazonianBeauty clad in a LeotardOfPower, get frequent ClothingDamage and provide the page image for Fanservice.
** Just few examples during Byrne's run. In first several pages of ''Sensational She-Hulk'' #40, She-Hulk is skipping rope, apparently naked (due to a simple joke she made in the letters column) until is not stopped by editor (actually isn't actually naked, but was wearing skimpy undies that were hidden by the blur lines). In ''Sensational She-Hulk'' #45, nearly all the story is filled with big and casual pinup of Jen that steal the spotlight from the actual story narred in the box.
* MuggingTheMonster: A rather humorous example happened to her after the Stamford disaster. An angry mob of anti-superhero protestors had formed outside of the courthouse where she -- as Jennifer -- was defending two surviving members of the New Warriors. One guy recognized her and grabbed her, shouting "I've got She-Hulk!" Then she turned into her large, green size, and said, "Okay, you've got She-Hulk. Now what?" The response? "I. . . Uh. . . Guess I DidntThinkThisThrough."
* MyHorseIsAMotorbike: The time-displaced Western hero Two-Gun Kid receives a sky-cycle as a gift from his descendant Hawkeye via VideoWill. The Kid explicitly compares it to a horse.
* NeverLiveItDown: Despite likely being the genuinely nicest hero on the planet, people everywhere (writers, readers, in-universe characters) keep focusing on her somewhat [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking promiscuous sex life]].
** That goes double for the Juggernaut incident.
** She-Hulk was once called to the stand as a (hostile) witness for the defense of The Leader. The defense attorney (who worked at Jen's own law firm!) was seeking to prove that The Leader was not wholly responsible for his actions, as gamma radiation poisoning affects a person's personality, rather like a mind-altering substance. Jen had to go through her list of lovers as She-Hulk (which took ''quite'' some time), then as Jennifer Walters (which was all of two names). She-Hulk was supremely embarrassed, and even went on a small character arc of examining if her behavior really was all that different as She-Hulk versus as Jen. The Leader was so amused he declared it didn't matter if he got the chair, seeing Jen publicly humiliated was WorthIt.
* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]:
** Arguably the kindest and most idealistic superheroine in the Marvel Universe, along with Meggan and Kitty Pryde. This includes working as a (considerably less well-paid than corporate) public defense attorney, consistently trying to make the system work for particularly vulnerable groups in society, and running her own disaster relief organization. This on top of her general unpaid rescue work, and being one of the very least murder-happy heroes on the planet. However, her temper can get the best of her at times.
** A time-policing court once sentenced her to [[RetGone erasure]] from history, saying that in any case where she thought herself invaluable some other super-strong heroine could have filled in. The counter argument came in the form of her ''clients''. She-Hulk is rather fungible, but Jen Walters is completely irreplaceable.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed:
** Parodied in ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12, when Jen is ambushed by an ''Series/EntertainmentTonight'' film crew led by Mary Hart.
--->'''She-Hulk:''' Shouldn't we be giving you a parody name or something? Like Mary Spleen?\\
'''Mary Hart:''' Get real. Like we ''care'' if we're in a comic book.
** Later in the same issue, it's revealed that Jen is going to be played in a biopic by the petite starlet "[[Creator/PiaZadora P. Isadora]]". Jen immediately lampshades the fact that ''her'' name got changed.
* NoFourthWall: ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' series written by John Byrne. She-Hulk knew that she was in a comic book and took advantage of the fact. In one issue, she escapes from a trap by ripping a hole in the page, walking across two pages of ads, and ripping her way back into the story at a later point.
* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: Somewhat perversely, despite She-Hulk racking up the notches on the bedpost, she ends up marrying Captain John Jameson, who expresses a genuine dislike of her being She-Hulk (see ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex above for a typical bedtime conversation between them). Jen was kind of a hypocrite, since she also had problems with his Man-wolf form because Captain John Jameson mauled one of her co-workers while in said transformation.
** Her co-worker Pug -- who had a pretty serious crush/unrequited love thing going on -- regularly seemed uncomfortable with Jennifer when she was in her She-Hulk form, actively encouraging her to remain in her normal human form. Possibly a reversal of "ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex" concerns.
** Notably inverted near the start of one of her solo series. She takes a guy to bed after a victory party at Avengers mansion, and when she wakes up, she's reverted to Jennifer in her sleep. She desperately tries to transform into She-Hulk before the guy wakes up, stating in internal monologue that she ''hates'' the part where a guy goes to bed with the Sensational She-Hulk, and wakes up with tiny, mousey Jennifer Walters. Could be part of the ongoing exploration of Jen's own insecurities, but it's implied that she's indeed been with men who weren't as into the Jennifer Walters side of her.
* NotablyQuickDeliberation: In the first issue of the Dan Slott series, Shulkie manages to break the record for the fastest jury deliberation in history, which is initially taken as a sign of her skills as a prosecutor. Unfortunately, the defendants convince the judge to declare a mistrial because She-Hulk saved the world on the day before the verdict came down, which they argued might have unduly influenced the jury.
* OccultLawFirm: Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway specialised in supernatural law, and employed lots of different superhumans, including speedsters as messengers.
* OffModel: ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12, the HorribleHollywood issue, has a few panels depicting the filming of a ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' movie. The colorist gave Geordi Data's skin tone and Riker Geordi's.
* OmnidisciplinaryLawyer: In the Marvel Universe, Jennifer Walters, the She-Hulk, specializes in superhero law, but that includes criminal cases, civil rights law, civil suits and anything else that might come up.
* PervyPatdown: An incident when a {{Jerkass}} agent of ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} forced her to undergo a strip-search with him being the searcher in question and various other [[AllMenArePerverts male]] [=SHIELD=] agents witnessing the event.
* PokeThePoodle: [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ua3w0qhlFNc/VJvQTAp35XI/AAAAAAAADjs/wrV5_fWBhC8/s1600/madasheck.jpg Her attempts]] to be a ''ComicBook/SinCity'' style anti-hero, with art by Creator/FrankMiller himself.
* PowerFist: Sasha Martin, Holden's granddaughter and Jen's temporary ward, has an alien gauntlet permanently fixed over her left hand. It is able to conjure giant hands made out of HardLight.
* PromotionToParent: Holden is able to get his underage granddaughter Sasha (a.k.a. "Southpaw") out of a supervillain prison on the condition that she remain in Jen's custody.
* PunchClockHero: Jen is the retained legal counsel for Luke Cage and Jessica Jones and for their team, the Mighty Avengers. Which means she also joins them in battle should the need arise.
* ReallyGetsAround: Jen has unapologetically slept with a great many people, including Hercules and Iron Man. This is generally played for laughs. For example, when called to testify in a trial, this involved a list of her past sexual partners. It was several meters long, and involved hundreds of entries...
** Though the double standards do piss her off. She once asked IronMan why no one gave him crap for sleeping around (Iron Man being a male example of this trope)... while in bed with him.
** And then there's the ongoing FlameWar about whether she had sex with the Juggernaut, [[FlipFlopOfGod which has been retconned out and brought back in a number of times]]. In this case it's because Juggernaut has repeatedly tried to kill Bruce/The Hulk and many felt it was out of character for her. Especially considering that when she found out that Iron Man [[ComicBook/PlanetHulk exiled Hulk into space]] after having slept with Stark, she got really angry and beat the crap out of him. {{Wolverine}}, another character who ReallyGetsAround, actually refused Jen's advances on the basis that "He didn't want Juggernaut's sloppy seconds," although considering that Wolvie is much worse than she is, and has ''also'' tried to murder her cousin/isn't really much different from Juggernaut, according to the writer, this was simply RuleOfFunny. Then again, Wolverine and Hulk are VitriolicBestBuds.
*** [[spoiler: It was later found out that a parallel universe version of Jen had slept with the Juggernaut.]]
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: She is often subject to embarrassing situations. One of early examples in ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' where a paparazzo took photos of her sunbathing topless (but nobody ultimately knew it was She-Hulk due to an unwitting editor 'correcting' her green skin).
* TheRival: Her relationship with Red She-Hulk/[[spoiler:Betty Ross]] has progressed to this. They also act as [[GoodCopBadCop Good Cop (Jen) and Bad Cop (Red)]] over in ''Incredible Hulks''.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: "Legal", the only name given to Tony Stark's legal troubleshooter, has glasses that cast reflections when other people's ''don't''.
* ShamefulStrip: In the ''Sensational She-Hulk Graphic Novel'' #18, she is forced to strip after being captured by semi-rogue S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Somewhat subverted in that [[ProudBeauty she's found great confidence and positive self-image in her She-Hulk form]]. She even drops her (already Fanservice-y) outfit on the floor and asks "Okay, bright boys, now what? [[MythologyGag Maybe you'd like me to jump rope for you?]]" (Of course, her boyfriend, Wyatt, who is also being held hostage, is clearly ''not'' amused by it any of it, and neither is Dugan when he shows up in the next scene.)
* ShoutOut:
** ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12, the HorribleHollywood issue, has several shout-outs to ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. Benny the Cab has a cameo appearance, and Jen does an inadvertant Roger Rabbit impersonation after having something heavy dropped on her head. Also, the villain's plot turns out to be a rip-off of the plot of ''Film/TheProducers'', which Jen immediately lampshades.
** In the Leader arc during the Dan Slott run, the Leader is drawn by Ty Templeton to look very like Anthony Ainley, who played the somewhat analogous Master in ''Series/DoctorWho''.
** In one Javier Solido-drawn issue of the Charles Soule run, we see that the emblem of Latveria's national airline looks suspiciously like the "Devil's Eyes" symbol from ''ComicBook/{{Grendel}}''.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Invoked. She-Hulk was brought before the Living Tribunal to decide a very important thing: he had found a new [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate universe]], and was considering erasing the Franchise/MarvelUniverse and replacing it with this new one. She-Hulk's defense, at its core, was that [[RuleOfCool her universe was more fun.]] They told her: she narrated a great cosmic story... in less than one page. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as the Registrator was [[TimeBomb about to explode]].
* ThouShaltNotKill: Much more averse to resorting to killing in combat than virtually any Marvel superhero around.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Given her size, any time she's with someone of average height counts as this.
* TrappedInTVLand: She-Hulk met old ComicBook/HowardTheDuck foe Doctor Bong when he set about changing television shows' internal reality (just roll with it) and accidentally zapped her into them. Possibly the most infamously surreal Shulkie story ever.
* TravelMontage: A panel in ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12 shows Jen flying across country in the traditional red-line-on-map format. The next panel shows that her plane literally has an enormous red line trailing behind it, with an airport worker in the background muttering that Indiana Jones has a lot to answer for.
* TrickedIntoSigning: In ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12, the villain uses the old "can I have your autograph?" trick to get Jen's signature on a release form allowing him to make a film of her life.
* TurbineBlender: In one of the first issues of her third series, Jen and her associate Mallory Book are investigating the death of a man who got sucked into a jet engine. As they're looking around the test lab, someone switches the engine on and seals the lab so the two can't escape. Jen figures at the last minute that if she [[HulkOut hulks out]] and shields Book with her body they'll make it through the blades alive. They do, but [[ClothingDamage both their suits are shredded]].
* VaporWear: In her first appearance Jennifer does not wear any underwear [[http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/File:Savage_She-Hulk_Vol_1_11.jpg under her torn dress]].
* VitriolicBestBuds: Odd case with Red She-Hulk. Jen gets along with [[spoiler:Betty Ross]] just fine, but when she turns into Red, [[VolleyingInsults they start trading insults back and forth]].
* WillNotTellALie: She's a very honest individual.
* WithAFootOnTheBus: at the end of Dan Slott's run. Iron Man had [[BroughtDownToNormal Brought Her Down to Normal]], but there was a new She-Hulk in town: a Jennifer Walter from an alternate universe without superhumans, who got powers when moving to the MarvelUniverse. They made a deal: "our" Jennifer would depart to that universe, and the new foreign one would stay. She said goodbye to everybody, Reed Richards sent him thought the dimensional portal, but [[IdeaBulb had an idea]]: he took her back right after she moved to that universe, restoring her powers. So, the MarvelUniverse kept the She-Hulk who had been She-Hulk since the 1970's, and the foreigner left.
* YourCostumeNeedsWork: In ''The Sensational She-Hulk'' #12, Jen visits the set of a movie being made about her. Several people mistake her for an aspiring actress or stunt double, and they all criticize her "costume".

[[folder: Savage She-Hulk / Lyra Walters]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/50cac04abff7508841478f023e37a143.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:You wouldn't like her when she's calm!]]
* AntagonisticOffspring: She tried to commit {{Matricide}} at one point and fought her father at one point, which resulted in her promising to commit {{Patricide}}.
* AntiHeroSubstitute: Both subverted and played straight. Right after Jen's ongoing series was cancelled, ''All-New Savage She-Hulk'' was announced, with Lyra -- as a main protagonist. People were pissed, because it looked like we were going to get a DarkerAndEdgier replacement of Jen. However, as the comics ended, both She-Hulks became very good friends, Jen kept her name and become something like a {{Mentor|s}} for Lyra. Even when Jen was mysteriously PutOnABus Lyra chose to look for her, rather than simply take her place.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: In Hulk# 16 Lyra has several ShirtlessCaptives as her [[SexSlave Sex Slaves]]. Which is both [[BlackComedyRape played for laughs]] and even seen as OK in-universe. [[http://i.imgur.com/VuyyAo6.png She was even high fived for by guys from her world]].
* DuelToTheDeath: In the She-Hulks mini series she suggests this to two boys who ask her out, in order to win a date.
* EvilHero: Unlike regular She-Hulk Lyra is rather violent and has acted rather villainous at times due to the world she grew up in, hence the title ''Savage She-Hulk''. She tried to change but she wasn't making much progress in adapting to the 616.
-->'''Lyra''': You're right. I am not Jennifer Walters. I am nothing like Jennifer Walters. Jennifer Walters is a kind woman and honorable warrior. That is why I was trying to find her. So I could learn from her. For I... [[IAmAMonster am nothing but a monster]].
* FieryRedhead: She's red-haired like her mother.
* FastballSpecial: Does this with the mutant Loa when she joined The Defenders.
* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: Hulk #16 shows Lyra creating an [[{{Matriarchy}} Enlightened Matriarchy]] when she gets trapped in a hellish nightmare dimension run by violent male demons. In only 3 days she had conquered the dimension, enslaved all the men, and put the women in charge where they embraced her as their Empress. Under their rule the dimension had stopped being the hellish nightmare it was back when the men ran it.
* FullFrontalAssault: In ''ComicBook/FallOfTheHulks'' she gets her [[ClothingDamage clothes burnt off]] in a fight with Johnny Storm (Human Torch) and defeats him while naked. This was all apart of her strategy to make him [[DistractedByTheSexy put his guard down]].
-->'''Lyra''': That was a mistake.
-->'''Johnny''': Um...not from where I'm standing.
-->'''Lyra''': They told me you had a weakness for women.
--> '''Johnny''': And that's a bad thing...WHYYYYYYYGGHH!
* HulkingOut: Averted. Her hulk form is her natural state which she was born in and can't turn human on her own and unlike the other Hulks she gets weaker the angrier she gets.
** After World War Hulks, her father had injected her with S.P.I.N. (Super-Power-Inhibiting Nanobots) Technology to negate her anger-driven power drain. This also allowed Lyra to change from Hulk to human form at will and turn into her Hulk form when angry like the rest of her family. However, this alternation was only temporary and her powers had returned to the way they were when she joined The Defenders.
* JekyllAndHyde: Averted, as unlike the rest of the Hulk family, she doesn't have a dual personality.
* LadyLand: She comes from a future where women have conquered most of the world, renaming it The United Sisterhood Republic. They have enslaved most of the males of that time and are at war with a tribe of savage men.
* [[LikeFatherLikeSon Like Mother Like Daughter]]: Lyra eventually stops trying to be like Jennifer and instead rules a society in another dimension where men are enslaved. Not unlike her mother Thundra.
* ParentalAbandonment: Thundra had left Lyra after rising her through childhood for reasons not revealed yet. Lyra greatly resented her mother for it to the point where she wants to kill her.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The reason why she acts as superhero is because she doesn't want to give up being a warrior.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: She is pretty sexist towards men due to her background though she doesn't allow it to get in the way of what she does.
* PutOnABus: During the Omega Hulk storyline all the Hulks with the exception of Bruce, Jennifer, and Lyra were depowered due to there being too many Hulks in the 616. While Lyra kept her powers she was also put to the side by giving up being a hero to live in a dimension which she ruled as Empress. Due to her still having unresolved issues with her mother Thundra, it is likely we will see her again in the future once creators figure out what to do with her.
** She recently showed up in Squadrom Supreme #15. Where she reunited with her mother in Weirdworld.
* SlaveRace: The men on her world. Not that they are any better.
* StrawFeminist: She views men as fools, considers the enslavement of them to be their proper place, and doesn't want much to do with her father because he is a male. None of this is surprising given how she grew up. She has her moments like sparing a boy from a male tribe on her world and even attempted to avenge a male agent as she would do any comrade, but at the end of the day she rather have women be in charge.
* SuperMode: Lyra's technique "Gamma Sight" is this, which she herself developed. This enables her to fight in a trance-like meditative state when she is completely calm and at peace. This state allows her to feel minute traces of gamma rays in every human being and use them to heighten her perception and reflexes, and possesses higher fighting skill than any of her other family members.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: She inherited her powers from her father. As well as her mother's powers, as she overpowered Axon who had absorbed her gamma powers.
** However, it doesn't seem like she had her mother's powers in ''She-Hulks'' as she gets hurt with dodge balls in human form. But this could be due to the S.P.I.N. Bruce gave to her.
* TykeBomb: She was bred to be the Sisterhood's champion and use the power of The Hulk to win the war between the genders. Thundra had time traveled to the past to steal Hulk's DNA (via kissing), went back to her future, and gave birth to Lyra.
* WouldntHurtAChild: She couldn't bring herself to kill a boy of one of the male tribes on her world.
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Yes actually, you would. As a means to keep her under control, scientists engineered her to be an inversion of this trope and get 'weaker' the angrier she gets. She must remain totally calm to use her full strength.

[[folder: Ultimate Universe]]
!Jennifer Walters
* HotScientist: She is a very attractive scientist instead of a very attractive lawyer.
* RedHerring: In this universe, is not she that became She-Hulk, but...(see under)
!She-Hulk / Betty Ross
* FullFrontalAssault: She attacked Wolverine while naked.
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: She-Hulk first appears (and is revealed to be Betty Ross) when Wolverine was fighting the Hulk. She interrupted the fight to take on Bruce herself, and after exchanging a few blows, Wolverine notes that he can't tell if they're fighting or @#$%ing. Even earlier, in the first Ultimates arc, Betty has been dismissive and borderline abusive to Bruce. After he Hulks Out again and saves the day by ''eating'' the Chitauri leader, Betty point-blank asks him if it's possible to arrange a conjugal visit.
* {{Jerkass}}: She can be very callous and uncaring, especially when Bruce is involved.
* MilitaryBrat: She is daughter of a general.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dyes her hair pink after breaking up with Bruce.
