10 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About She-Hulk

10. The Winter Hulk

In Jason Aaron and Javier Garron's "World War She-Hulk" stork arc in Avengers #46, the larger, more aggressive Hulk allowed herself to be captured by the Russian Winter Guard to see what they had planned against Atlantis. Once in Russia, she was subjected to a mock trial and found guilty. She was placed in a “mind oven” to brainwash her, fill her with radiation, and turn her into a weapon. With the Avengers on the way, the procedure was accelerated and went wrong. Jennifer broke free and decimated both Winter Guard and Avengers that got in her way.

Most of the Winter Guard had been killed or severely injured, while the Avengers were only knocked out. The Guard’s Red Widow had severed her arm to inform her superiors that the “Winter Hulk” had been successfully deployed. This Hulk was sent to confront Namor. However, the Russians had not counted on Jennifer’s skill at controlling her forms.

The Red Widow had planted a bomb that was intended to destroy 98% of the Atlantean population. Despite the Avengers capturing the Red Widow, she still was able to detonate the bomb. Jennifer was able to absorb the 68 megaton gamma yield and release it at Avengers Mountain, far away from its intended target in Avengers #50. As a result, She-Hulk returned to her intelligent, less bulky form. After all the events of the past few years, Jennifer joined the new legal firm of her former rival Mallory Book.
