## Biography

### Personal Life

#### Marriage and Child

*"I've been married a long time."
"You're married?"
"Eleven years this October."*
―Mallory Book and Nikki Ramos[src]
Around 2014, Mallory got married and later had a child.

### Legal Career

#### Working at GLK&H

*"Mallory Book is also in the Superhuman Law Division."
"Yeah. No, I can't talk to a ten about embarrassing man stuff. She could be my next fiancée."
"Happy to not be involved."*
―Holden Holliway, Dennis Bukowski and Mallory Book[src]
Book was called by Holden Holliway to his office. When she entered, she saw Dennis Bukowski, who stated he could not have her represent him due to her being an attractive woman. Book then dismissively excused herself and left.

#### Representing She-Hulk

*"I'm taking this on as a professional courtesy, but moving forward, we are not colleagues. I'm the attorney, you're the client. That's the only way this can work."*
―Mallory Book to She-Hulk[src]
Days later, Book was tasked to help She-Hulk in her case against Titania. Book told Walters that they were not colleagues and only working together as a professional courtesy. Book looked up Titania and asked Walters if that was the woman who had sued her. Walters then stated that Doctor Strange and Thor didn't have to trademark their names, in which Book replied she had used examples of two individuals who use their real name. Book then called Nikki Ramos in and both of them stated Walters needed new clothing.

Later, Book and Walters, as She-Hulk, then went to the Los Angeles Metropolitan Courthouse. Book gave her case, stating the reasons why Walters was called She-Hulk and that Titania's products were sham products. This angered Titania and caused her to jump out of her seat to defend her products. Book then supplied a recording of She-Hulk appearing on a news network to give an interview. However, Titania's lawyer, Robert Wallis, gave footage of She-Hulk denouncing the name in public.

The next day, Book was met by Todd Phelps in her office and agreed to take him on as a client. As they waited in the main lobby, She-Hulk and Ramos walked up to them. As Phelps greeted She-Hulk and complimented Book as his favorite lawyer, he tried to touch Book but she told him not too and walked off.

The next day, Book and She-Hulk returned to the courthouse to finish up the case. Book questioned She-Hulk's dates, including Derek, Noah, Phelps, and Arthur. She asked them whether or not She-Hulk had identified herself to them as such and they responded she did. Arthur added that he was attracted to She-Hulk rather than Walters and thus was why he went with her. Following this, Judge Earley stated that She-Hulk had won the case and that Titania had to stop her business line.

#### Celebratory Drinks

*"You can have literal superpowers, and some guy with an Internet connection will still think he can do better."*
―Mallory Book to Jennifer Walters[src]
Outside the courthouse, She-Hulk thanked Book and offered to take her out for drinks. Book agreed and went together to Legal Ease Bar & Grill. As they drank, Book made conversation with Walters, until Walters blurted out she was happy they were now friends. Book became tense and stated she thought Walters would have had better clothing already.

#### Representing Mister Immortal

*"Understand this. I'll get you the best deal under the circumstances."
"Thank you."
"Don't touch me. But let me tell you this. You're gonna have to pay."*
―Mallory Book and Mister Immortal[src]
Days later, Book was given Jennifer Walters' case as she was going out of town. She met with Craig Hollis, who explained his situation that he was getting divorced by several ex-spouses. As Nikki Ramos came in, he identified himself as Mister Immortal and told them that he couldn't die despite trying several
times. Book and Ramos then began discussing the situation, causing Hollis to become unnerved and sprint out the window. Book and Ramos cautiously looked out the window and saw that he had survived. He looked up at them and waved before leaving.

The next day, Book and Ramos met with him again, this time in the company of his ex-wives and ex-husband. She learned that not only had he faked his death, but faked his identity. She pulled him aside and said that he could be facing criminal charges right now, and that instead he was lucky. As the spouses made him nervous, he tried to get up but Book put her hand on his shoulder to stop him.

Book and Hollis waited by the wall while Ramos set things straight with the ex-spouses and finished up the issue. When she finished, Book applauded her for her choice of words and how she laid out what the compensations would be.

#### Looking at Intelligencia Articles

*"Why would you wanna put that mess in her head?"
"But some of these are death threats."
"Nikki, they're just trolls. Any attention at all gives them what they want. Jen is better off. Just let her live her life."*
―Mallory Book and Nikki Ramos[src]
That night, Book and Ramos shared drinks together in the office. Ramos asked Book what she was doing still single, in which Book revealed she was married and had a son. Ramos was surprised and started to ask more questions, but Book stopped her. They then took a look at the tablet on the table, where Ramos had looked up Intelligencia. They saw footage of Mister Immortal's fall before seeing a site with anti-She-Hulk words on it.

They switched to Book's computer to see a wider screen and Ramos faked an account to sign into the site. As they scrolled through, they saw several death threats and targets pinned on Walters. Ramos became unsettled and tried to call Walters, but Book stopped her and said Walters didn't need to worry, as it was just online trolls.

#### Female Lawyer Award

*"Twice the work, half the recognition, and you're constantly being asked what it's like being a female lawyer."*

## Personality

*"If you're gonna be my client, dress like you respect yourself, and not like a football player pleading no contest to a DUI."*
―Mallory Book to She-Hulk[src]
Book has clawed her way to the top to become one of the best at GLK&H, and when She-Hulk arrives, she’s quickly threatened by having the Super Hero lawyer as the new head of the superhuman law division. Despite of this, Book quickly became good friends with her.

## Abilities

*"We need to show strength. Countersue. Establish you were using the name in a professional capacity before the trademark date, and Titania is profiting off name recognition already established in the marketplace."*
―Mallory Book to She-Hulk[src]
* **Master Lawyer**: Book proved a pattern of Jennifer Walters' personal use of the name "She-Hulk" before Titania filed for the trademark, successfully countersuing the superpowered influencer and being granted the motion for summary judgment; Titania and her subsidiaries would have to cease usage of the She-Hulk name and all products then on the market had to be recalled.
