She-Hulk - Jennifer Walters

"Please let me slip on this ice. PLEASE let me slip on this ice!"



She-Hulk
Jennifer Walters - Marvel

The hot female counterpart to the Hulk. Bush ain't the only one who know something about preemptive strikes. In 1980, Stan Lee and Marvel decided to publish their own She-Hulk in case the TV Network showing The Incredible Hulk decided to go all Lindsey Wagner on them and come up with a She-Hulk that Marvel couldn't control. So in this day and age, it was inevitable, like Super Girl and all the other poor female characters who owe their existence to their male counterpart. I want to make a character named Man-Man so when the TV show spins off they have to name their hero "Man-Woman". It could cater to a whole slew of new readers waiting for their hero(ine) to come along. But I digress.

"Why Bruce! That IS Incredible"
So I guess they wanted to make sure they never had to delve into the whole "Hulk and She-Hulk should totally hook up!" meme that would inevitably ensue in every geek forum from here to a certain nuclear testing ground. So they made the new and improved, female version of the Hulk into Bruce Banner's cousin. NON-kissing cousin, my friends in the south. She got shot by a crime boss (pesky crime bosses, always creating new super heroes by mistake), and Bruce happened to be in town (pesky coincidences, always moving the plot forward...). So he transfused his blood to save her life, and voila! She-hulk was "born".

So should Bruce Banner go to jail for knowingly passing his blood, in full tainted condition, to someone else?

Anyway, She-Hulk went on to battle lots of foes and acquit herself worth of being a super-hero in her own right, male-derived pseudonym notwithstanding.

I  waiting for the "What If?" story where Jennifer and Bruce don't know they are cousins when he gives her the transfusion. They could hire George to write that one.

She-Man? Spider-Hulk?
Anyway, She-Hulk is one of those better known babes, so there's lots of happy images of her in skimpy clothes all over the web. This is just a taste for ya. Hope you enjoyed!
