She-Hulk is a fictional superhero featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. She was created by writer Stan Lee and artist John Buscema and first appeared in the premiere issue of her own on-going comic series, The Savage She-Hulk.
Overview[]
The She-Hulk is in reality Jennifer Walters, a successful defense attorney from Los Angeles. After being gunned down by members of a crime cartel however, Jennifer's cousin, Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, is forced to give her a blood transfusion. Banner's gamma-radiated blood causes Jennifer to transform into the 6'7" green-skinned power house, the She-Hulk. Unlike Banner however, Jennifer maintains her intelligence, though her personality takes on a more adventurous and aggressive turn.

Notes & Trivia[]
- The character of Jennifer Walters was created by writer Stan Lee and artists John Buscema and Chic Stone.
- She-Hulk is one of the few characters in the Marvel Universe that has the self-awareness to realize that she is a character in a comic book. During John Byrne's stint on the title, Sensational She-Hulk, she was frequently shown talking to the reader, punching through pages and even running across the advertizements. Later She-Hulk volumes have maintained this talent to some extent, even going so far as to use Marvel Comics comic books as in-universe research material at her law firm.
- In more recent years, She-Hulk has become known for her insatiable libido. Some of her various sexual conquests include Hercules, Tony Stark, Wyatt Wingfoot, Clay Quartermain and there has always been some kind of sexual tension between Hawkeye and she.
- She-Hulk is Rizzoli & Isles star Angie Harmon's favorite pop culture character. She raved about her fascination with her on an episode of Conan. [2]
