She-Hulk is a Marvel Comics superhero who debuted in 1980 as the star of her own comic book title, The Savage She-Hulk. The cousin of Bruce Banner aka The Incredible Hulk, lawyer Jennifer Walters becomes She-Hulk due to a blood transfusion, although in most versions, she retains her intelligence and self-control.

The character continued to headline her own titles periodically over the years, in addition to supporting the Hulk and appearing as a member of The Avengers and in other Marvel series. A 2006-2007 run simply called She-Hulk focused on her legal career at a firm specializing in representing superheroes (and sometimes supervillains) and formed much of the basis of the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Other media appearances include the second season of The Incredible Hulk animated series (1997-1998) which was retitled The Incredible Hulk and She-Hulk.
