Femme Friday : She-Hulk

In acknowledgment of my love for all the green ladies. I'm going to dedicate this weeks Femme Friday post to SHE-HULK.

She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters) made her first appearance in Savage She-Hulk #1 in February of 1980.

 On a day when Bruce Banner (Hulk) decides to find his cousin Jennifer Walters, who he used to be close with, to confide in, Operatives of Nicholas Trask, a crime boss who had crossed paths with her father, shot and seriously wounded her. Since no other donors with her blood type were available, Banner provided his own blood for a transfusion; as they already shared the same blood type and DNA.

His radioactive blood, combined with her anger transformed Jennifer into the green-skinned She-Hulk when the mobsters tried to finish her off at the hospital.

As She-Hulk, Jennifer possessed powers similar to those of her cousin, though at a reduced level. She also possessed a less monstrous, more amazonian appearance. Initially, the transformation to her She-Hulk form was triggered (as with Bruce Banner's) by anger. She eventually gains control of her transformations when Michael Morbius cures her of a lethal blood disease.

As a criminal defense lawyer, she defended Dr. Michael Morbius in his trial for his vampiric killings.

Eventually, Jennifer decides that she is going to retain her She-Hulk form permanently; preferring the freedom, confidence, and assertiveness that it gave her compared to her more timorous and fragile "normal" form.

 After her brief solo career, she joined the Avengers. This led to her being transported to Battleworld by the Beyonder and her participation in the Secret Wars, most notable for sparking her long standing rivalry with the newly empowered Titania.

After the heroes returned to Earth, she temporarily replaced the Thing as a member of the Fantastic Four. During her tenure with the Fantastic Four, She-Hulk had to prevent a radiation leak in a downed S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. This radiation exposure had a drastic effect on Jennifer: she could no longer transform back into her original human form. However, this was an agreeable turn of events for her, since she preferred being She-Hulk, and it was revealed much later that the block was purely psychological.

Due to her affiliation with different supergroups over the years, She-Hulk has donned numerous costumes. She-Hulk's personality has also gone through significant changes: from aggressive and short-tempered to intelligent, free-spirited, and vivacious. Because of her various outfit changes, no single costume can be considered iconic. But, She-Hulk is immediately recognizable due to her size, green skin, and long, dark green, almost-black hair.

She-Hulk's relationships with men have been defined by her dual needs for independence and acceptance. Here are some clips of just a few of her romantic interludes.

 And now to end this weeks Femme Friday, I leave you with some She-Hulk sexiness.
