10 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About She-Hulk
5. When She-Hulk Broke Bone
In The Avengers "Red Zone" story arc beginning in issue #65, the team had gone to Mount Rushmore to solve the mystery of the Red Mist and found that it was a government-created bio-weapon. When She-Hulk opened a locked door, she discovered a room full of A.I.M. operatives, who opened fire and damaged her protective suit. Her fellow Avenger, Jack of Hearts, got her out of the building but his powers drew the gamma radiation from her body, transforming her into Jen and she succumbed to the virus. Later, she transformed into a “savage” She-Hulk and tore through the team before disappearing.
Jen tried to follow Bruce’s example and lay low while wandering through small-town America. However, her Avengers teammates had been looking for her, and when she was face to face with the Scarlet Witch, the fear and frustration of losing control caused her to turn into an out-of-control version of the She-Hulk. The entire team was unable to stop her and she destroyed a large part of Bone, Idaho.
Hawkeye and Bruce Banner arrived to try to calm Jennifer down, but they were equally unsuccessful. Clint was able to get She-Hulk out of town and then forced Bruce to transform into the Hulk to make the fight more evenly matched. Finally, it was the arrival of Jack of Hearts who used his powers to finally balance the proper amount of gamma radiation in her body.
