She-Hulk (
Jennifer Walters) is a
fictional superheroine that appears in American comic books published by
Marvel Comics. Created by writer
Stan Lee and artist
John Buscema, she first appeared in
Savage She-Hulk #1 (February 1980). A cousin to Dr.
Bruce Banner, Walters once received an emergency blood transfusion from him when she was wounded, which led to her acquiring a milder version of his Hulk condition. As such, Walters becomes a large powerful green-hued version of herself while still largely retaining her personality; in particular she retains her intelligence and emotional control, though like Hulk, she still becomes stronger if enraged. In later issues, her transformation is permanent.
She-Hulk has been a member of the
Avengers, the
Fantastic Four,
Heroes for Hire, the
Defenders,
Fantastic Force, and
S.H.I.E.L.D. A highly skilled
lawyer, she has served as legal counsel to various superheroes on numerous occasions.
