Jennifer Walters a.k.a. She-Hulk is a character who has been a part of the Marvel sandbox since 1980, having played a major role in some of the company's major crossovers and events throughout the years. Unlike Marvel's modern comic regime, Jennifer Walters was not created to be a legacy character, but a hero that stood on her own, though she is the cousin of The Hulk and she has many of her predecessor's abilities.

Though not as veteran as Black Widow or Scarlet Witch, She-Hulk is the one who put female Marvel heroes on the map. In the plethora of Marvel heroes, both male and female, She-Hulk is one of the select few to maintain a day job as well as carry the responsibilities of a superhero. Lawyer and superhero are two very big pendulums swings from one another.

While the Hulk in the comics normally lacks his average intelligence, Jennifer Walters has been able to maintain her human intelligence and personality while in her muscular Hulk form. Yes, She-Hulk can command a courtroom while big and green, and it's great. Comic storylines have even played with the idea that Jennifer would rather spend her time as an exciting alter ego than her shy timid human persona.

This new ingredient helped to sell the character to reluctant fans and allowed Jen to do things like break the fourth wall long before Deadpool, date other heroes, become a supermodel, and earn a living. It was less "Jekyll and Hyde" and more "The Mask" starring Jim Carrey.

Being the cousin of the Hulk and a famous lawyer in New York City, the hub of the Marvel Universe, She-Hulk has come into contact with a large majority of the famous heroes and has hooked up with a few from time to time. Who wouldn't want to hook up with a strong, green superhero lawyer?

Walters was a powerhouse out the gate. In 1984 following Marvel's biggest crossover event up to that point, "Secret Wars", the relatively new She-Hulk was recruited by the Fantastic Four as a replacement for The Thing who was having one of his occasional crises of faith at the conclusion of that story. She-Hulk's tenure with the Fantastic Four would become one of the best periods for the series, exciting familiar fans and creating new fans unfamiliar with the character beforehand.

Following her stint with the Fantastic Four, She-Hulk would go on to join other super teams such as The Avengers, Heroes for Hire, Future Foundation, The Defenders, and even helped lead the all-female team, A-Force.

Though She-Hulk has the gamma-irradiated blood of her cousin in her system, Jennifer is not exactly as strong as the Hulk, but that has not slowed the character down at all. She-Hulk has been able to go toe to toe with other heavy hitters such as The Thing, Spider-Man, Hercules, and Colossus of the X-Men.

However, 23 Marvel Studios films released since 2007 and not a feisty green lawyer in sight. As Marvel looks to expand their roster of female heroes on-screen, She-Hulk was bound to show up eventually. Almost every main Avenger, aside from Hulk and Hawkeye, have had their time to shine on the big screen in the solo trilogy department.

Luckily, over the summer, Marvel Studios announced plans for a She-Hulk TV series that would be streaming on Disney Plus sometime in the future with appearances in the films being all but guaranteed for the character as well. The series has the potential to be this generation's Ally Mcbeal, a courtroom dramedy but with the added inclusion of superheroes.

It's not just going to be a lady painted in green (or covered with CGI) running around; she is going to be just as capable as the men, if not even more so. If the much-rumored A-Force film does eventually come to fruition, Marvel would be remiss in not including a character as powerful and engrossing as She-Hulk.
