It’s quite inconvenient to be a radical of anything in life. For example, let’s look at Bruce Banner, a scientist who acts recklessly to save other people. When you’re so good, life strikes you with gamma radiation in such a way that you can blossom in an instant. Not only do you green yourself, but you’d still do well, photosynthesis and get along like roses. But if you live in a comic book universe and you’re popular, you have plenty of tiny green relatives or clones or robots or puppets. you get the gist of it. I’m not going to talk about Bruce Banner or his other personality, the Hulk, today. We’ll take a look at the journey of Jennifer Sue Walters, another character who blossomed in the late ’70s, Marvel’s best lawyer with Matt Murdock, aka She-Hulk.
I like to erase the MCU from a corner of my brain when I write this kind of who is who this way. Because the screen adaptation of the characters I’ve been reading in comic book pages for 20-odd years doesn’t give the same flavor. In the case of She-Hulk, I don’t think the series can give anything other than the headache and nausea caused by bad CGI after that first trailer. So the person who reads this article after watching She-Hulk says, “Well, Jen here and Jen in the series are not the same person! They made us watch Shrek;ten Fiona in the show!” If you’re ready, let’s start Shulkie’s adventure.
Urgent Gamma Rh+ Blood Wanted!
When we rewind the calendars too much, Bruce Banner’s aunt lives a happy life in California. Elaine Banner, who is married to Sheriff Morris Walters, has a very cute daughter, Jennifer. Unlike her cousin, Jen, who is well younger than Bruce, is interested in law, not science. She may be young, but Jen, who has been like a friend to Bruce since childhood, also helps her hide when her father beats Bruce. Growing up like Bruce’s brother, Jen dedicates herself completely to justice after Elaine’s death in a car accident and becomes a lawyer like normal people, not a superhero.
Jen, who has fallen on a lot with Bruce during this law school, has only one goal of getting justice. Still, Jen is one of the few people who knows Bruce Banner is the Hulk. At the point where things start to heat up, Jen;s knowledge makes no sense. Contrary to popular belief, Jen;s accident was purely professional. It turns out that a group of mercenaries loyal to Nicholas Trask also killed Jen;s mother years ago. As you can imagine, Bruce is the one who saves Jen, who is shot and seriously injured for being a lawyer for a gangster who betrayed Trask.
Bruce Banner, who is about to die of blood loss and even actually dies, gives his own blood without thinking for goodness, and a hero emerges. Jennifer, who comes back to life through the Green Gate in the metaphysical world after the blood transfusion, this time beats the Trask’s staff as She-Hulk, who has come to finish her job completely. Then he returns to normal and hides his secret identity. She-Hulk, who acts as a lawyer by day and observes justice by wrist power as She-Hulk at night, is not schizophrenic, unlike his cousin. So the Hulkette doesn’t have a consciousness of his own.
Avengers Membership Earns More Than Advocacy
Jen, who spent her first adventures fighting Trask’s forces, is becoming increasingly popular. Well, if a character is popular enough, then it’s a good idea to get into an Avengers first. When Trask takes things more seriously and kidnaps her father, Jen, who shows the wild side in her, finally saves her father and sends Trask off on a journey to the center of the world in the real sense. After putting aside family problems and mafias, the Avengers knock on his door. Like a footballer shining in a small team, we see him in an Avengers uniform.
With Janet Van Dyne’s proposal, Titania, the first iconic enemy of Jennifer, a full-time superhero who quit her job as a lawyer, also appears during this period. The success of She-Hulk, who was considered by Beyonder to be the anti of Titania in the first Secret Wars battle, also attracts the attention of the Fantastic Four. Due to The Thing’s temporary departure from the team, Hulkina, who has also joined F4 to replace Ben Grimm, is starting to move quite quickly in her love life during this period. As Jen becomes more popular, Marvel loves to put handsome men in front of her and take them out to dinner.
Jennifer, who was held captive in the Microverse during her F4 membership, was made to work in the mines and enslaved without food or water. Jen, who escapes from the land with the help of Reed and Susan, also has a turning point in her life. After blocking the radiation leaking from the SHIELD vehicle, Jen encounters a problem that prevents her from returning to her original state. We later learn that Jennifer Walters no longer wants to be that little girl and decides to continue her life entirely in She-Hulk form. With the help of Reed Richards, Hulkina manages to trick Doc Samson and then reveals his true identity to the whole world.
Reed Richards Turns Stingy, F4 Membership Doesn’t Pay As Much as It Seems
With the return of The Thing, the Avengers days return more fiery for She-Hulk, who said goodbye to the Fantastic Four. At this time, the Mutant Registration Act comes to the fore, allowing us to see Jennifer Walters, whose main profession is a lawyer, dealing with a serious issue other than beating a man. I wish we could see a similar attitude of Jen, who opposes the profiling of mutants because he is a character and quality person, but we will get there in a moment.
After all these processes, Jen;e fights with Xemnu once in a while and turns into She-Xemnu, so much action is enough and she wants to return to being a lawyer. But since her actions as She-Hulk impressed the judges, Jen has to say goodbye to this alter ego. Of course, due to the nature of the comics, such an event will not happen, so Jennifer Walters is going on a series of strange adventures including Howard the Duck. In fact, it is Reed Richards who gets Jen out of here again, who is also made to struggle with ridiculous events such as changing minds and changing bodies for a while, and continues his stories by beating Titania.
Sometimes so much comic book nonsense makes me give up, but one of She-Hulk’s great things about being able to break through the fourth wall. That is, just like Deadpool, talking directly to readers and being aware that he lives in a comic book. So Jen has a nice response to every oddity that happens to her. Other strange characters have to suffer the ridiculous consequences of their beautiful stories rotting at the hands of wacky writers. Anyway, let’s go back to the pages of the comics and take a look at Jennifer’s bad decisions this time.
The Hulks’ Fight Is Getting Big Really
When we recovered things too far, we saw Jen, who was becoming increasingly senior in the Avengers membership, now in office with the United Nations. Things take a whole new turn when Jen and other Avengers members are ambushed to fight AIM forces dealing with biological weapons at a secret government facility in South Dakota. Jen, who risked having her armor pierced to protect Wanda Maximoff, would pay for her favor by going crazy, just like her cousin.
Jen, who was under great stress after all this chaos, began to spread destruction with the most furious period in her history. For She-Hulk, who the Avengers couldn’t stop even fighting together, it was inevitable that a true Hulk expert, Bruce Banner, would step in. However, when Bruce;s suggestions did not work, this time the TRUE GREEN GIANT HULK stepped in, and with a huge fight, Jen began to calm down a bit. Finally, with the intervention of Jack of Hearts, the gamma level was adjusted and Jen began to act as a mind holder again. Such brutal acts do not suit the big lawyer lady at all.
After the destruction, Jen has a lot of trouble with the Avengers and politely leaves the Avengers building and starts to make his own way. The most suitable profession for Jennifer Walters, who also evaluated all her experiences, appears as superhero lawyer. In fact, T.V.A.; We begin to see Jennifer Walters in abundance at a series of cosmic courts, including Jennifer Walters. I told the part “What is Time Variance Authority?” after the Loki series by saying What is TVA? So let’s go through this place fast and go back to the period when my animosity with Jennifer Walters began.
Peter Parker Seven-Seventh Time Reboot Hope You’re Happy, Jen!
One of the events that changed my view of the Marvel comics was undoubtedly the Civil War series. I’m not talking about Civil War, which is like the 6vs6 MOBA fight in the movie. In the comics, I’m talking about the event that changed the fate of the entire universe. It all started with a stupidity that resulted in a group of amateur superheroes killing hundreds of innocent people. J., who is already pretty annoyed with masked superheroes. It was inevitable that opinion leaders like this would gradually gain strength. That’s where the Superhuman Registration Act came in. Isn’t the name very familiar? Jen, who completely opposed the Mutant Registration Act I just mentioned above, was one of the number one advocates of the law this time!
Of course, Jen, who also had a falling out with Team Cap, who was the quality and right side because she had so many superhero friends, tried to find a middle way in her own way. Jen, who wanted to prepare an endless client portfolio for herself with a motto such as “Now I support this law, but I am ready to defend all my superhero brothers and sisters in court,” did not turn out to be as much of a reality as she wanted. After all this, Jen, who left behind a period when she married John Jameson, has become a name that SHIELD frequently applies because she works in legal jobs.
It wasn’t too late that Jan, who fought Abomination, Wendigo and Zzzax for SHIELD during these recording law periods, learned that superheroes would not be trusted. Jen, who learns that Illumunati, Reed Richards and Tony Stark, is behind the sending of Bruce Banner, who caused another great series of events, Planet Hulk and World War Hulk, is completely insane. But Tony, notorious for his slyness, naturally neutralized Jen and stripped her of her powers. What happened next? The Hulk is back to take revenge, and Tony brazenly offers to help Jen restore his powers and stop the Hulk. Sometimes it’s really impossible to love Tony Stark.
Invasions, Mutants, Problems.
We saw Jennifer Walters, who completely regained her powers after the Hulk was stopped, again in plenty of action. Jen, who also played an active role during Secret Invasion, was seen as Savage She-Hulk in the All-New era after a short break. She-Hulk, who also fought Normon Osborn and his Dark Avengers team, crossed paths with the red side of gamma radiation. Jen, who finds herself in a strange triangle with Red-Hulk and Red She-Hulk, is looking for a companion Lyra. Two green heroes went against two red heroes, and things started to get weirder.
Unable to break her bond with the Avengers, Jen suddenly found herself facing the mutant problem. Things started to get ugly when Jen, who stormed Jean Grey’s school after a dispute between the X-Men and the Avengers after the birth of the Phoenix Force, beat a few children. After this bizarre event, which resulted in the defeat of the Phoenix Force and the Cyclops, the mutants’ grudge began to grow. If Hickman’s current X-Men series touches on these past parts a little more, Jen could get into trouble again.
Ultimately, as it happens to all Hulks, Jen;s stories, which we see at some time as Grey, progress in a way that is too chaotic even for the Marvel vision. It is possible to see She-Hulk, who suddenly finds himself in the war of the Celestials, everywhere. Thanks to the popularity of the Winter Soldier, we also saw the Winter Hulk. We even saw a Jen vs Namor in Atlantis, where there was also a nuclear bomb in the background of this fight. In short, in 1979, Bruce Banner’s blood so that his only little cousin would not die went back to the nuclear bombing of Atlantis. What shall we say, this is exactly the Marvel “magic”.
Given the oddities that happened to Daredevil, another Marvel lawyer, if Jen somehow convinces Matt that they’re in the comics, we might end up in a great case. If both characters sued Marvel for the psychological damage caused, they could become mega-billionaires. There’s also a She-Hulk series on the horizon that we’ll be watching on Disney+, but as I said, don’t expect too much. If you want to have fun in She-Hulk stories, I recommend you to check out The Sensational She-Hulk series, especially written by John Bryne in the late 80s and early 90s. With the breaking of the fourth wall, a very entertaining period awaits you with Josh Bryne’s creativity.
