Written by GLNo woman can appear as attractive in green as She-Hulk can. She has been a member of both the Avengers and the Fantastic Four and is a highly skilled legal counsel to various superheroes
She-Hulk is perhaps the last major creation of Stan Lee during his most acclaimed period - the 1960s and '70s.
Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Bruce Banner (the mean and not so sexy Hulk), is the small and shy daughter of Los Angeles County Sheriff William Morris Walters. Agents of Nicholas Trask, a crime boss, shot and seriously wounded her on a day that Bruce Banner happened to be in town for a visit. Since no donors of her blood type were available, Banner provided blood for a transfusion; his radioactive blood transformed Jennifer into the green-skinned She-Hulk.
As She-Hulk, Jennifer possessed powers similar to those of her cousin, though at a reduced level. She also possessed a less monstrous, more amazonian appearance.
Although initially uncontrolled while in her form as She-Hulk, she eventually gained the same levels of intelligence she possessed as Jennifer Walters. By the time of the character's first anniversary, she had made a guest appearance in Spidey Super Stories, and was lucid enough to encourage the Rhino to seek a fair trial for an alleged crime he had committed.
Jennifer Walters quickly came to appreciate the confidence and assertiveness that came with being She-Hulk. At this point in her character development, she felt more comfortable in her form as She-Hulk than in her 'normal' form as Jennifer. After a brief solo career, she joined The Avengers, and temporarily replaced the Thing in the Fantastic Four.
During her tenure with the Fantastic Four, the She-Hulk had to prevent a radiation leak in a downed S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. This radiation exposure had a drastic effect on Jennifer: she could no longer transform back into her original form. However, this was good for her, since she preferred being She-Hulk.
After her Fantastic Four years, She-Hulk rejoined the Avengers and began working for District Attorney Blake Tower. Here she met Louise "Weezi" Mason, formerly the Golden Age superheroine called the Blonde Phantom. Later, while doing legal work for Heroes for Hire, She-Hulk spent some time dating Luke Cage.
She-Hulk currently practices law in the Superhuman Law division of the New York firm of Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway (GLK&H). While practicing at GLK&H, Jennifer gradually became comfortable as both She-Hulk and Jennifer Walters, realizing that she has much to offer the world in both forms.
In her She-Hulk form, Jennifer possesses superhuman strength. When she transforms back and forth, she gains/loses considerable muscle). Unlike her cousin, Banner, her personality and intelligence are less affected when she transforms into the She-Hulk, although she becomes more self-confident and assertive.
As She-Hulk, Walters is proportionally stronger than she is in her Jennifer Walters form. This means that any extra strength gained as Jennifer Walters through physical training will be amplified, making her She-Hulk form exponentially stronger. While Jennifer Walters' training resulted in her becoming a bit more toned, She-Hulk's musculature, in contrast, became much more pronounced. As a result, she donned a special strength-controlling bodysuit to replace her business clothes, which no longer fit her frame. Walters subsequently shed some of that muscle mass during a work hiatus, but since first becoming She-Hulk, her strength has increased. However, her strength does not reach the Hulk's rage-enhanced levels. The She-Hulk is impervious to extreme levels of injury, pain and disease: her skin can withstand extremes of temperature, as well as tremendous stresses and impacts without puncture wounds or lacerations. Her enhanced physiology renders her immune to all terrestrial diseases.
Thanks to training by the Ovoid alien race, She-Hulk can exchange her physical characteristics and powers with the physical characteristics and powers of another being by simply creating mental image of the person and willing the transfer to take place. It was theorized by the Ovoid aliens who trained the She-Hulk that some factor of her gamma-mutated physiology causes her use of this talent to manifest in a different way. She rarely uses this power; unless she initiates this exchange with another superhuman being, she will become basically human in ability, but still green-skinned and generally recognizable as She-Hulk, and thus vulnerable to attack.
She-Hulk's legal practice requires her to spend extended periods of time as Jennifer Walters. The Scarlet Witch cast a spell for her which rendered anyone intending to harm the She-Hulk incapable of recognizing her as Jennifer Walters. However, the spell actually rendered Jennifer Walters completely undetectable to these individuals. While this had its advantages, it also left Jennifer unable to communicate with certain people whose knowledge or information it was vital for her to acquire. The spell was eventually removed by Dr. Stephen Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme of the Marvel Universe.
She-Hulk is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained by Captain America and Gamora. Even in her Jennifer Walters form, she possesses sufficient skill in the martial arts to dispatch several would-be muggers much larger than she is.
Extremely intelligent, She-Hulk is a skilled and experienced attorney. In spite of the character's party-girl image, she is an intellectual, being one of the few superheroines to have attained an advanced post-baccalaureate degree. Jennifer attended UCLA School of Law, where she was a member of the Order of the Coif, a national merit society for top legal scholars. She has shown great versatility in her legal practice, representing criminal defendants, corporations, and even domestic violence victims.
She-Hulk is not above using her looks to her tactical advantage in a fight; she did so against a then-single Hawkeye during a conflict in their early appearances together in Avengers.
Jennifer has been romantically involved with:
