Stan Lee and John Buscema created Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk for Marvel Comics. She is a cousin of Bruce Banner / the Hulk and a lawyer by profession. After an injury, the character received an emergency blood transfusion from Banner and hence acquires the power, becoming a strong, big, greener version of herself. But unlike Hulk, Walters is able to retain her intelligence, personality and emotional control. However, she is still vulnerable to outbursts of temper and turning much stronger if enraged. Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk debuted in Marvel Comics with The Savage She-Hulk #1 in 1980.

She-Hulk cast and plot details are not revealed yet. The series is expected to commence production in early 2021. It could show Jennifer Walters’ legal fights as a lawyer and also fighting crime as the superhero. Mark Ruffalo in his MCU role as Bruce Banner / Hulk is also said to make an appearance in the show. The Marvel series is speculated to air on Disney Plus in late-2021 or straight 2022.
