For better or for worse, Stan did create Ravage 2099 in the 90's, and perhaps some others I'm forgetting. She-Hulk was his last A-List character for Marvel, though.


Creator/MarvelComics, knowing as they do the power of a DistaffCounterpart and not wanting to lose partial control of their franchise, were quick to snag the name ''She-Hulk'' for trademark reasons, which became Creator/StanLee's last original creation for Marvel. 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.

* TheEndOrIsit: Issue #20 of the 2005 series has "The End?" written on the last page, due to a critical decision by She-Hulk resulting in a mysterious villain plotting a war in complete privacy.



* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In issue #20 of the 2005 series, She-Hulk removes Qyre the Watcher's mouth, ensuring the anonymity of a reclusive alien race. This is followed by the massacre of said race by an unknown armored figure. The only witness to the tragedy is Qyre, who is subsequently captured. With She-Hulk's one single action, there's no way for anyone to be alerted about this situation, leaving the villain free to plot a war that would eventually unfold within the pages of ''ComicBook/FantasticFour2018''.
-->'''Mysterious mass killer:''' Ah! This will be a ripe spot to plot and plan. The perfect beachhead for my war on creation!\\
And to think, I owe it '''all''' to this '''"She-Hulk".''' Thanks to her...\\
...only '''one''' being '''can''' look into this dark sector of space. And '''he's''' not telling.\\
Are '''you,''' "old friend"?\\
Yes, plenty of time to prepare my forces. Years. Centuries. However long it takes. And when the time '''is''' right...\\
'''...THERE SHALL BE A RECKONING!'''
* WarningMistakenForThreat: In the first arc of the 2005 series, She-Hulk finds herself defending Charles Czarkowski, a man who was caught on camera shooting an innocent man. Charles claims he had been sent a message from the future, with the messenger being that man, who said that he was going to kill him. [[spoiler:It is ultimately revealed that the man was Charles himself; he had altered his appearance using a DNA scrambling device and had attempted to send himself a warning before jumping back in time to escape the TimePolice. The warning had been undermined by him looking at his reflection and realizing that he was the man who was supposedly coming to kill him, [[SelfFulfillingProphecy setting in motion the events of his own trial]]. Even worse? The time cops catch up to him and force him to travel back, [[StableTimeLoop completing the loop]].]]

* AuthorTract: ''ComicBook/JasonAaronsAvengers'' #20 is pretty much an entire issue dedicated to Jason Aaron using Jennifer to [[TakeThatCritics deliver a meta-mockery of everyone who has criticized his run on her]]. The most infamous highlight has to be the sequence where she notes that [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] once confessed to envying her, because her Hulk form was far less threatening and more socially acceptable than his own deformed and monstrous body — and she, incensed by it, retorted by complaining to him how her form was less frightening, but she was also the target of constantly being hit on by her allies, lusted after by civilians, exploited by sleazy paparazzi, and groped during her fights with supervillains. The issue literally concludes with her stating that she loves being ugly and scary like Bruce, and she wouldn't go back to her older She-Hulk bodies if she had the choice. It should also be noted that this doesn't seem to be a view held by all even within Marvel, as an ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'' special stated this behavior was due to the trauma she suffered in ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'' and the revelations about gamma mutants in ''Immortal'' itself.

Her personal motto might as well be "She-Hulk is the nicest one there is!", and quite deservedly so.

** Since 2016 She-Hulk is now shown as over seven feet tall and extremely muscular, as large as Bruce Banner's Hulk. While retaining her intellect, Jennifer has difficulty speaking and can only talk in a halting, monosyllabic manner. InUniverse, Thor Odinson finds this form admirable, to the point of kissing her ''twice'' during the same mission in Avengers (2018) #5 thru #6, and becoming a couple in Empyre #1.

** One of She-Hulk's lesser known foes is Ultima, a woman who can enhance her physical abilities to superhuman levels for brief periods of time, a technique she unlocked through intense meditation and discipline. This ability is known as "Positive Mental Attitude" and was taught to her by her father, Jack Wordman.
* CombinationAttack: Jen has one with Thor called Gamma Storm. She grabs him and channels gamma radiation into him and he shoots out a gamma ray lightning bolt. This attack is powerful enough to hurt the NighInvulnerable [[ComicBook/GhostRider Cosmic Ghost Rider]].
