she’s the green gal with gamma ray blood
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be taking a look at the origins of
Jennifer Walters otherwise known as she
hope as with most comic book characters
there are often reimagining and
different versions to a character’s past
we have chosen to primarily follow the
storyline that unfolded in 1979’s the
savage she-hulk number one Jennifer
Walters was once a talented but shy
criminal lawyer on one fateful afternoon
she received a visit from her cousin
Bruce Banner whom she hadn’t seen in
years Bruce as we all know was a man who
transformed into the Incredible Hulk
when he became angry a secret he’d been
carrying as a burden for many years
desperate to share his terrible secret
he confided in Jennifer as soon as they
were in private although Jen was shocked
by the news she invited Bruce to come
home with her so they could talk it over
properly
unbeknownst to Bruce and Jennifer they
were followed home by two criminals who
worked for a gangster that sought to
frame one of Jennifers clients as soon
as the cousins arrived at their
destination the thugs took their chance
and shot Jennifer seriously wounding her
acting quickly Bruce managed to startle
the gunman with a garden hose before
getting Jen to safety seeing that their
chance had been blown the gangsters sped
away in their car meanwhile Bruce
searched desperately for a way to help
Jennifer who was in dire need of a blood
transfusion spotting an empty doctor’s
office across the street Bruce had to do
something fast knowing that she shared
his blood type Bruce gave her a blood
transfusion with the only blood he had
on hand his own only after he was sure
that she was in stable condition did he
call for an ambulance and the police
fearing that the police might learn his
secret identity Bruce used his powers to
escape as soon as he was left alone now
at the hospital Jennifer didn’t have
much time to relax before the thugs
returned to finish the job this time
disguised his doctors as the men
attempted to restrain her and smother
her with chloroform Jen suddenly felt an
all-consuming Rage flow through her
veins the next instant the startled
goons were thrown across the room by the
time they looked up Jen had transformed
into the she-hulk an enormous
green-skinned monster with Amazonian
proportions hurling a hospital bed at
her attackers she pursued them out of
the room down an elevator shaft
and out onto the street there the goons
almost made good their escape in a car
but were stopped when the she-hulk threw
telephone pole at them neatly removing
all of the vehicles tires she then tore
the thugs from their useless car and
forced a confession out of them in plain
view of the police who had just arrived
on the scene with the police distracted
with the criminals Jennifer made her way
back to the hospital sensing that her
powers were fading by the time she made
it back to her bed she had shrunk back
to her normal self again and acted
oblivious to what had happened when a
nurse arrived to check on her
she then vowed that the she-hulk would
return to solve any problems that
Jennifer Walters could knock as the
she-hulk Jennifer has superhuman
strength and resilience but retains her
intelligence and verbal skills much more
than Bruce Banner does when he becomes
the Hulk different comic book issues
have explained the key to her
transformation in different ways
initially it was triggered by anger like
the regular Hulk as in the first issue
however later issues have had Jennifer
able to transform at will while others
still have had her permanently stuck in
she-hulk form over the years Jennifer
Walters has continued to practice law
sometimes even in she-hulk form she has
also become a member of the Avengers and
had several romantic relationships with
other Marvel characters she’s also made
brief appearances in several cartoon
series and video games most notably in
the 1990s The Incredible Hulk cartoon
