Jennifer Walters (Lust of the She-Hulk)

Jennifer "Jen" Walters is a talented lawyer and the cousin of Bruce Banner, the Hulk. After being shot by a mobster and seriously injured, she was saved by a blood transfusion from Bruce, and his gamma-irradiated blood mutated Jennifer into the She-Hulk, kicking off her adventuring career.

Jen wasn't as strong as her cousin, but she maintained her intelligence as She-Hulk, soon learning to control her transformations and even embracing her green form. Throughout the years, Jen fought for justice in court and on the streets, developing great rivalries and friendships, and growing to become a respected leader. She worked for the District Attorney and also fought crime as a member of countless teams, namely the world-famous Avengers and Fantastic Four.

## History

### Early Years

Jennifer Walters was born in Los Angeles, California to Sheriff Morris Walters and Elaine Banner Walters. Also the cousin of Bruce Banner, Jen would spend hours in the public library reading books with him and sometimes even hiding at closing time to spend the night there, in order to help Bruce escape from his father's abuse.

When she was younger, Jen wanted to become a dancer, something which her father didn't approve of. One day, while her mother was driving with some friends to see one of her recitals, she was hit by a car and killed, an event that further distanced Jen from her father. Turning her attention to school, Jen was accepted at Harvard University and also attended UCLA, where she got her law degree *summa com laude*.

### Blood Transfusion

While working as a lawyer in Los Angeles, Jen was visited by her cousin Bruce, who she hadn't seen in years. He revealed to her that he had become the Hulk, and Jen invited him home so they could talk about it. On the way there, agents of Nicholas Trask, the crime boss who had killed Jen's mother years before, shot and seriously wounded her. She had been defending a gangster who had been double-crossed by Trask, and she had spread the rumor that she had evidence to incriminate Trask, which led to his retaliation. Bruce fended off the attackers and then broke into a doctor's office to treat her. Realizing Jennifer was going to die, Bruce gave her a transfusion of his own blood as there were no other supplies available.

Jen died, but, thanks to the transfusion, she was thrown into the Below-Place, where she was able to enter the metaphysical Green Door and come back to life. After she stabilized, he had her admitted to a local hospital. However, this came to the attention of the police, who considered Bruce a suspect in Jennifer's attack, and Bruce changed into the Hulk to flee. Meanwhile, Trask's thugs attempted a second hit on Jennifer, causing the gamma radiation particles in the transfused blood to activate, turning her skin green and increasing her size to well over six feet. Dubbed "She-Hulk" by one of the goons, Jen trapped them for the police to find. With the emergency over, she reverted to her normal size and strength, successfully keeping her identity secret. From then on, She-Hulk would handle whatever Jennifer Walters could not.

### Savage She-Hulk

Trask tried to kill Jen again but mistook her for her best friend Jill and ended up killing her instead. To protect Jen, however, the public was led to believe that she had truly died, and She-Hulk was reported as the killer. Enraged, Jen went after Trask in her She-Hulk form, but Trask had kidnapped her father and convinced him to face the monster that had "killed" his daughter using his advanced weaponry. During the fight, however, She-Hulk noticed that the weapon her father was using was rigged to explode to kill them both (all part of Trask's plan), so she threw him aside before it exploded, saving him from certain death.

As Jen's survival was made public, Trask constructed a massive earth-boring device called the "Silver Serpent". He planned to drain Roxxon Oil dry, allowing him to buy out the company. She-Hulk investigated and discovered the machine, but, during the fight, the drill malfunctioned and continued to go deep into the Earth with Trask inside, resulting in his demise.

Even with Trask gone, Jen's life didn't exactly slow down, but she also found some happiness, namely in her relationships with Richard Rory, Zapper, and also with her father, once he learned of her She-Hulk identity.

### Superhero Teams

After her brief solo career (during which she met Hellcat), Jen grew comfortable with her Hulk form. When she was asked by Janet Van Dyne to join the Avengers, she gladly accepted and the two became great friends. With this new job as a super-hero, she quit being a lawyer.

As part of the team, she met and had a one-night stand with Starfox. Later, she was transported to Battleworld by the Beyonder, where she took part in the first Secret Wars, most notable to Jen for her first confrontation with the newly empowered Titania.

She temporarily replaced the Thing in the Fantastic Four after the war on Battleworld, and was granted detached membership status with the Avengers upon joining the FF.

Being with the Fantastic Four proved even more rewarding than expected when Jen met the FF's old ally Wyatt Wingfoot and the two began dating. It wasn't all pleasantries though. When Jen visited the Microverse, she was separated from the others and forced to work on the old Mines of Nuvidia, where she was given no food nor water. There, she met Queen Pearla, an old ally of the FF, and discovered that Psycho-Man had conquered her kingdom using his armor and his emotion ray to spread fear among Pearla's forces and defeat them. She-Hulk had also been affected, hence her inability to fight back against her captors, but after seeing Pearla in danger she embraced her courage once more and fought an entire battalion to take her to safety. By the time they reunited with Reed and Susan, they'd already defeated Psycho-Man.

Upon returning from the Microverse, She-Hulk had to prevent a radiation leak in a downed S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. This radiation exposure apparently mutated her to the point that she could not transform back into her original human form. In reality, however, she simply didn't want to revert to Jennifer Walters, and Reed lied to her at the suggestion of Doc Samson. With no human form to switch to, She-Hulk gave up on her secret identity and started presenting herself as "Jennifer Walters." Around this time, she and Wyatt also followed different paths.

### Motherhood

At some point, Jen returned to her New York City apartment mentally exhausted but was kidnapped by the Mad-Tinkerer and drugged with a mysterious compound made with gamma radiation. It acted as an extreme aphrodisiac in which it caused her body to desire sex and become sexually addicted to the individual that would end up impregnating her, unfortunately this ended being Spider-Man. Before Peter arrived to save her, the Tinker had already shoved his penis into her vagina (affectively raping her) but her savior got there just in time and removed her from the machine had been attached to. Unfortunately, Jen was under the effects of the drug and so desperately needed a release; before Peter could do anything, the She-Hulk pinned, touched him to create an erection, and rode him until they both had an orgasm.

Jen later learned she was pregnant and felt incredibly guilty for raping her savior. After having met with Peter, she told him that she was going to have the child and said she would keep him updated on the pregnancy.
