Who is She-Hulk?

Marvel announced its project She-Hulk in August last year at D23 Expo.

She Hulk, also known as Jennifer Walters, is Bruce Banner aka Hulk’s cousin in the Marvel comics. She inherits Hulk’s powers after receiving an emergency blood transfusion from Bruce Banner. Like Hulk, She-Hulk is also a green, large superhero but does not lose her temper and intelligence in her Hulk form. Since she is a lawyer by profession, she also assists other superheroes in legal matters.

Speaking on the new entrant into the MCU, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige earlier said, “Bruce Banner is no longer the only Hulk in the MCU. Jennifer Walters is a Hulk, she’s a lawyer and she’s going to star in a show unlike anything we’ve done before.”
