4. Juggling Two Lives

Jennifer found it easier to focus on just one aspect of her life: either the lawyer or the superhero. But when she tried to juggle the two, it often got her into trouble.

She-Hulk had left the Avengers after the fiasco where Dr. Druid and Nebula had mentally taken the team over. But she returned when Steve Rogers returned and reorganized the team in Avengers #305. At nearly the same time, Jen was hired to work as a lawyer in the office of District Attorney Blake Tower.

Jennifer’s work in the DA’s office kept her from attending several Avengers missions. She also ended up breaking up with her boyfriend Wyatt Wingfoot not long after getting engaged. Ultimately, Jen found that it was Tower’s assistant, Louise Mason, who had pushed him to hire the Jade Giantess. As the Golden Age superhero Blonde Phantom, “Weezie” wanted to be featured in a comic again before she died of old age.

Returning from space in a flying ‘59 Dodge after fighting the alien Xemmu, She-Hulk found that her superheroics were getting in the way of her being a lawyer. During a trial, opposing counsel stated that she influenced the jury in her favor simply by being a hero. Faced with this possibility in future cases, Tower fired Walters. Mason quit as well and joined Jennifer in her solo practice.
