History ComicBook / SheHulk

* AdaptationalBadass: Jennifer Walters was never considered to be unattractive and had several suitors for her human form like James Jameson. However, generally, she was considered to be a mousy and reserved woman. The ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'' has all of Jen's bossiness and snark as things she enjoys in her human form. She's also played by the very lovely Tatiana Maslany.

* BestFriend: In CharlesSoule's 2014 run, he re-introduced ComicBook/{{Hellcat}} (who appeared in two issues of the original ''ComicBook/TheSavageSheHulk'' run) as not only a private investigator working for Jen, but also her best friend. Hellcat has subsequently appeared as a supporting character in every subsequent book including MarikoTamaki's ''ComicBook/Hulk2016'' and currently RainbowRowell's ''ComicBook/SheHulk2022''. Jennifer has returned the favor and appeared as a supporting character in KateLeth's ''ComicBook/PatsyWalkerAKAHellcat''. She-Hulk has yet to appear in ChristopherCantwell's ''ComicBook/Hellcat2023''.

* BadAssFamily: They both are related to Bruce Banner. Jennifer is his cousin and Lyra is his daughter.

* LeotardOfPower: As seen in the picture above, her IconicOutfit is a white leotard with purple trim, which, (unlike most superheroines with this kind of costume) shows off not just her [[ShesGotLegs nice legs]] but [[AmazonianBeauty enormous muscles]] as well. She's probably tied with [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers Ms. Marvel]] for the title of most iconic leotard-wearer in the Marvel universe.

* 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]].

* ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFour'' (Cameo)

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 one of Creator/StanLee's last original creations 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 [[ComicBook/TheSavageSheHulk 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.

* NiceGirl: Jennifer is traditionally an amazingly kind and moral individual, including [[AllLovingHero systematically helping even dangerous criminals to be treated decently via her legal work]], creating her own disaster relief organisation, and [[IncorruptiblePurePureness being as good as impossible to corrupt]], even after weeks of systematic torture and brainwashing. Her personal motto might as well be "She-Hulk is the nicest one there is!", and quite deservedly so.

Once upon a time, there was Bruce Banner, whose gamma-irradiated blood made him the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]]. He keeps going on about how [[CatchPhrase you wouldn't like him when he's angry]], but he's actually pretty damn popular. During height of the 1970s [[Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977 TV series]], the same producers created a successful TV adaptation of Martin Caidin's ''Cyborg'' as ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'' and, seeing an opportunity, created an original spin-off character: Jaimie Sommer's ''Series/TheBionicWoman'', which they owned completely.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatHotness: She-Hulk is typically portrayed as a ''lot'' sexier than Jennifer. Part of this is Jen having a LossOfInhibitions as She-Hulk, being more confident and forthright about her sexual desires. Part of it is that, in addition to lots of height and weight in muscle, her transformation gives her the MostCommonSuperpower.

She-Hulk is set to join the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse in the 2022 Creator/DisneyPlus series ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'', played by Creator/TatianaMaslany.

* AuthorTract: ''ComicBook/TheAvengersJasonAaron'' #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.

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 an incarnation of ComicBook/TheDefenders and briefly starred in her own solo series.

(The first six issues were later adapted into a Creator/InfinityComics webcomic and re-released to accompany Jen's Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse debut)

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.

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]].

* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: Jennifer is traditionally an amazingly kind and moral individual, including [[AllLovingHero systematically helping even dangerous criminals to be treated decently via her legal work]], and [[IncorruptiblePurePureness being as good as impossible to corrupt]], even after weeks of systematic torture and brainwashing. 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. [[spoiler:"World War She-Hulk" ends with Jen restored to her traditional She-Hulk form.]]

In August 2019, it was announced that a ''She-Hulk'' series was in development at Creator/DisneyPlus for Phase 4 of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, premiering sometime in 2021-2022. In September 2020, it was announced that Creator/TatianaMaslany was cast in the role.
