    Aye can someone school me on when the Hulk went from gray to green?

    Joe Fixit: Also known as the Gray Hulk, this identity lacks Banner's advanced intellect and scientific knowledge, but he is exceptionally clever and crafty, with selfish motives and desires, and similarly prone to violence. His height and original strength level are lower than those of the Savage Hulk.

    Gamma-powered psychiatrist Leonard "Doc" Samson captured the Hulk and successfully separated Banner and his alter ego. Without Banner's psyche to restrain him, the Hulk became a greater danger than ever before. Realizing there was only one way to reign in the Hulk, Banner agreed to merge with the monster. But the stress of the re-integration fractured Banner's subconscious, creating the street-smart gray Hulk. During this time, he spent several years in Las Vegas, sometimes operating as an enforcer calling himself Mr. Fixit (or "Joe Fixit.") The smart-mouth Fixit was an ill-tempered, wise-cracking, thuggish brute whose personality resembled that of his father and the fraternity boys who surrounded him in college. It was also at this time that Joe Fixit began his a short-lived relationship with the future wife of Rick Jones, Marlo Chandler. In this state of the Hulk, Banner again found himself changing into the Hulk at night and into his human form in the light of the day.

    GREY HULK aka MR FIXIT

    Height: 6' 6"

    Weight: 900 lbs

    Eyes: Gray

    Hair: Black

    Intelligence: Normal

    Strength: Superhuman Class 75 (potentially Superhuman Class 100)

    Speed: Enhanced human

    Stamina: Metahuman

    Durability: Demi-godlike

    Agility; Normal

    Reflexes: Athlete

    Fighting: Good hand to hand combatant

    Superhuman physical powers: Superhuman strength, stamina, and durability. The Hulk also posesses an incredibly fast healing factor.

    Special limitations: Generally speaking the gray Hulk will transform back into Bruce Banner in daylight.

    The gray Hulk, the baser instincts of Bruce Banner, was the first version of the Hulk that the public witnessed. Perhaps because of the time relativity- the gray Hulk is the physical representation of Bruce Banner's adolescence. That is why the gray Hulk posesses a selfish sarcastic attitude- a somewhat typical teenager from hell attitude.

    The gray Hulk's morales are somewhat more flexible than most of his other counterparts. In his first appearance the gray Hulk had decided to ? Rick Jones because he was the only one who knew his secret identity. He was only stopped by the sunrise. Gray Hulk uses his crafty mean streak to compensate for the fact that he isn't quite as strong as the savage green Hulk. The Abomination found this out, when after he compared gray Hulk to the savage green Hulk, Hulk doused him in toxic waste nearly killing his emrald foe. In fact one sure way to increase the gray Hulk's strength is to note that he is less impressive than his green counterpart. After all though not as strong he is still the Hulk and "the madder Hulk gets the stronger Hulk gets".

    The gray Hulk also enjoyed his happiest times as a Las Vegas legbreaker Mr. Fixit. The sorcerors of Kai placed a spell on Hulk that temporarily allowed Hulk to remain during the daylight. He wore fine clothes, ate fine food, garnered respect and fear from all of Las Vegas. Hulk also engaged his more carnal desires as the most eligible
    bachelor in town. It was ironic that the emergence of Bruce Banner ruined things for the Hulk instead of the other way around.

    SavageBannerban2.gif

    Height: 5' 9"

    Weight: 128 lbs.

    The Savage Banner persona originally came about when Bruce Banner, Tony Stark, and Scott Lang got together and designed a very small machine that was implanted into Bruce's body. It was designed to regulate Bruce's pulse with the idea that it would prevent the transformation. Stress came about and Banner transformed anyway. As a doctor from Gamma Base explained the physical transformation was prevented, but the psychological aspect of Bruce and Hulk being two separate personalities was not addressed. Eventually the nuclear power of the device altered Hulk's body as well.

    Savage Banner next emerged as a result of the understanding Bruce gained through the therapy Doc Samson gave him in 377. Bruce knew knew that he was going to lose control and revert to a savage persona. Bruce's mind built a safeguard inside itself. When Bruce became so enreaged that he would lose mental control of Bruce Banner's mind, he would also lose control of the Hulk's body. To avoid monumental destruction that a Savage Hulk brings Hulk's body would revert to Bruce's. Therefore for the first time ever the saying about Hulk became, "the madder he gets, the weaker he gets".

    Appearances: Incredible Hulk #425-437

    THE PROFESSOR HULK professor6.gif


    Height: 7' 6"

    Weight: 1,150 lbs.

    Eyes: Green

    Hair: Green

    Intelligence: Genius

    Strength: Superhuman Class 100

    Speed: Enhanced human

    Stamina: Metahuman

    Durability: Demi-godlike

    Agility: Normal

    Reflexes: Athlete

    Fighting skills: Good hand to hand combatant

    Special skills: extensive knowledge of physics

    Superhuman physical powers: Superhuman strength, stamina, and durability. Hulk also posesses an incredibly fast healing factor.

    Superhuman mental powers: Hulk has an ability to see ghosts and astral forms

    Did you ever see an illusion so real that you thought you could reach out and touch it?

    History: When Doc Samson came across Bruce Banner, Bruce was in dire straits. A war over dominate control between the gray Hulk and the Savage Hulk was tearing Bruce apart. Samson decided that emergency therapy was needed to go within Bruce's mind and try to deal with the root of Banner's problems. Samson helped Bruce confront his father and the abuse that he heaped upon Bruce and his mother. Bruce came to the realization that he had been repressing his emotions to avoid being like his father. An image of Rebecca Banner convinced the Hulks to merge within Bruce to present for the first time a united Bruce Banner. This version of the Hulk would demonstrate Bruce's intelligence, the Gray Hulk's bravado, and the ability to tap into the ferocity displayed by the savage Hulk. Doc Samson tried to warn the Hulk that the therapy was unfinished, but the bravado of the gray Hulk wouldn't hear of it. As it turns out Samson was right, and even the psychological cure eventually failed.

    The Merged Hulk is now known as "the Professor". The Professor is the representative of Banner's ideal version of himself.. At first this might seem to fly in the face of what Peter David accomplished with the merger, but take a look at it logically. Banner has a mental disorder. Simply confronting that fact and the root of the disease's origin would not wipe out the mental disease. Bruce knew he was in trouble and a "psychological ramification" occured again as it did on the day of the first gamma bomb test, and many times after. Bruce created a new personality for himself. A confident man, no longer a clumsy awkward scientist, but a 1200 pound engine of muscle and know-how. The Professor is everything that Banner wants to be, and as such is just as much a means of escape as either the Savage or Fixit Hulks. It's also alot easier to see why this "cure" failed from here. The Professor wasn't the end result as he was billed to be, but just another poor faction that fell to the core personality's insecurities and psychological failings.

    Hulk desired to make up for his past misdeeds and decided to join up with the Pantheon. Eventually Hulk lead the Pantheon but as is a prevelant theme with the Hulk the boundries of what the Hulk considered right wasn't exactly in league with what was considered legal. Even when he was trying he came in conflict with the law, and his fellow "super-heroes".

    REBECCA BANNER Rebecca_Banner.jpg

    Rebecca Banner was the mother of Bruce Banner who eventually grew up to become the Hulk. During college Rebecca met and married Brian Banner and was anxious to start a family with him but he didn't feel the same way about starting a family like her, Brian never shared his personal history with her or of his desire to never have children. He was the youngest person to graduate from his college with a Ph.D. and he got his degree in physics. His post-graduate options were unlimited but he settled on going to Los Alamos to work on a government project to find a source for clean nuclear radiation. The stress of the job led Brian to start drinking which also led him to become more erratic and quick to anger with Rebecca and his fellow employees. After one night of excessive drinking, Brian tried to work on his project and accidently caused an overload of the equipment. Brian was court-martialed and released from the project. Even though he was behind a shield when the overload occurred and multiple doctors examined him and found nothing, Brian still felt that some amount of radiation got through and affected his genetic structure and was even more convinced not to have any children.


    Brian eventually found a job and started to try and pull his life together when Rebecca announced that she was pregnant leaving him shocked. Rebecca had problems during the pregnancy although what the complications were are not known. After the birth in Dayton, OH, Bruce was kept in extensive care for observation and examination but the doctor's found nothing out of the ordinary. He was also examined for any trace radiation due to Brian's exposure but none was detected. Brian, still thinking that something was wrong with Bruce, would try to spend at little as time as possible with him. When Brian and Rebecca would go away, they would leave Bruce with a nanny who showed no affection or attention towards Bruce. On Christmas morning, when Bruce was approximately four years old, he woke up early and snuck down to the Chrismtas tree. He opened one of his presents, which was an erector set. He managed to put together a very intricate structure in little time. Brian came down and smashed the structre, saying that Bruce was a freak and that someone his age should not be able to do that. He thought that the radiation had altered his Bruce's brain, making him super-smart, and would have probably killed Bruce had Rebecca not come into the room at that moment.

    Rebecca tried to get in the way and Brian hit her. When Bruce tried to run to his mother, Brian hit him also. Brain looked at Bruce and called him a inhuman monster. It was finally now that Brian admitted he never wanted a child. A few years later, after much physical and mental abuse to both Rebecca and Bruce, Rebecca packed suitcases and tried to leave with Bruce. Brian catches them at the car before they leave and starts to struggle with Rebecca. Bruce yells to his father to let his mother go and that he will be good but Brian throws Rebecca to the ground and kills her. Bruce runs to her side and just sits there frozen in shock beside her lifeless body. It is at this point where Bruce shuts down his emotions and become a repressed personality. After that Brian was placed under arrest and sent to a mental hospital, while Bruce is sent to live with his mother's sister, Susan Drake. When he grew older, Bruce attended Science High School. Due to his extremely high intelligence level and the fact that he had for all practical purposes turned off his emotions years ago, he had no friends at the school and was subjected to harassment. The headmaster showed concern for Bruce and his unresolved anger and feelings about his father and his mother's murder.


    During the Chaos War storyline, Rebecca Banner (alongside Brian Banner) is among the characters that return from the dead after what happened to the death realms. Brian in a form similar to Devil Hulk tries to ? her again only for the Hulk to save her and fight Brian Banner.

    WolverineFacts1-thumb-330x495-17292.jpg

    Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk is a comic book miniseries, published by Marvel Comics. The series is set in one of Marvel's shared universes, the Ultimate Universe. It was written by Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof, and illustrated by artist Leinil Francis Yu and colorist Dave McCaig. The title characters square off after Wolverine is contracted by Nick Fury to assassinate the Hulk, who is known to be residing in Tibet. The series features cameos by other Ultimate characters, as well as the introduction of Ultimate She-Hulk.

    It was originally planned as a six-issue, bimonthly series. But after two issues, the remainder of the series was postponed until Lindelof finished all of the scripts, and the series began publication again with a new issue in March 2009.

    The series takes place between Ultimate X-Men issues 69 and 71 and before Ultimates 2 issue 11. The miniseries is a throwback to Wolverine's comic debut in The Incredible Hulk #180-182.


    ultimate-wolverine-vs-hulk-20051117010529051-000.jpg

    Issue One

    Wolverine awakens to find his lower half missing, his body having been ripped in half by the Hulk minutes earlier. Using his keen sense of smell, he finds his legs have been thrown to the top of a mountain. As he climbs up a mountain to retrieve his legs, he recalls the events leading up to his current situation.

    He recounts meeting Nick Fury, Betty Ross and Jennifer Walters, and being told that the Hulk is alive and responsible for several "incidents" of mass destruction after a public "execution" by S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury gives Logan (Wolverine) the assignment to hunt down and "take care" of the Hulk. Wolverine tracks the Hulk to a small Tibetan village, where the Hulk is found lounging, surrounded by scantily clad women. Upon seeing the Hulk, Wolverine says "Hi, Bruce". (In the 2nd issue this line is delivered from another perspective as "Hello Bruce")


    ultimate-wolverine-vs-hulk-20051117010505129.jpg

    Issue Twoultimate-wolverine-v-hulk2.jpg
    We see the events leading up to the fight between Hulk and Wolverine from Banner's point of view. The comic begins with Banner being left for dead on an off-shore ship, tied down to the deck with a bomb sitting beside him. He transforms into the Hulk at the last minute, and the explosion fails to ? him. The Hulk swims to Omaha Beach, Normandy, France, transforming back into Banner as he reaches the shore.

    Banner finds himself drifting from one location to the next, forced to relocate every time he loses control of his temper and transforms into the Hulk. The first time, a Parisian psychologist accuses Bruce of not letting himself get angry over losing Betty, calling him impotent and unknowingly "David", drives him over the edge. The second time he is working as a farm hand and his boss mocks him for eating tofurkey, a tofu turkey substitute. The third time, Bruce musters the courage to call Betty once more, only to have a man answer the phone.

    He ventures to Tibet in search of the Panchen Lama, a monk along the same line of holiness as the Dalai Lama, who turns out to be a child. The Panchen Lama announces that Bruce is there to find an answer to his problem of changing into the Hulk whenever he gets angry. Panchen Lama explains that it is his duty, upon the Dalai Lama's death, to find his reincarnation, and similarly, it is the Dalai Lama's responsibility to do the same for the Panchen Lama. He then mentions an old proverb about which one discovered the other first, stating that most people know the question in modern times in relation to chickens and eggs. He then asks Bruce 'What if it is not you that changes into the Hulk, but the Hulk that changes into you?'. We then move forward to the point in which the first issue ended, where Logan says 'Hello Bruce', the first time we see the Hulk in the Ultimate Universe in a calm,
    rational state.

    Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk

    Issue Threehulkvswolverine3_cov.jpg

    The issue opens with multiple flashbacks and flashforwards to various points during the series, then it shows the confrontation between Hulk and Wolverine from the end of issue #1/issue #2. Hulk and Wolverine have a conversation where Hulk states that he was cured of his anger, (even though as Hulk becomes angrier during the course of the conversation he becomes less articulate) but a parting comment Wolverine makes about Betty Ross enrages Hulk and causes him to tear Wolverine in half. At the top of the mountain, Hulk is waiting and ready to eat one of Wolverine's legs, but before that happens a new arrival is airdropped onto the mountaintop, Ultimate She-Hulk. When asked who she is, her response is simply, "I'm plan B."
    ultimate-wolverine-vs-hulk-20090123022912543.jpg

    Issue 4

    Save for the last two pages, the issue consists of advancing flashbacks from the perspective of Betty Ross, including Bruce's attempted phone call and Wolverine's meeting with Fury, jumping to three days prior when Betty unsuccessfully attempts to convince Tony Stark and Steve Rogers to save Bruce from Logan. Two days prior, Dr. Walters has succeeded in producing a version of the Hulk serum which transforms the subject without inducing Hulk-like rage, with Betty the next day attempting to convince General Fury that Dr. Walters is seeking to sell the super-soldier serum to the Chinese. As Betty takes a S.H.I.E.L.D. jet to Tibet, Fury discovers that the Hulk serum has been stolen and angrily orders Betty taken down, but not before she injects herself with the serum and undergoes the transformation into She-Hulk. After landing and announcing "I'm Plan B", Betty reveals her identity much to the horror of Wolverine. This causes an enraged and crying Hulk to state, "Betty break Hulk's heart... now Hulk break Betty!

    Ultimate_Wolverine_vs_Hulk05.JPG

    Issue Five

    The issue begins with Logan, in a dream state, encountering a Panda who claims that he is Logan's Spirit Animal. As the pair come to blows, the Panda says the fight between Bruce and Logan is personal. He also doesn't want Logan to tell the Hulk's last words to the people who cut off his head. Logan wakes up to find he's reduced to just a head on a tray. General Fury angrily attempts to question him on what happened. Logan initially claims he blacked out after the Hulk tore him in half, instead of admitting he was awake for Bruce and Betty's sexual encounter. He then accidentally reveals that he was awake when S.H.I.E.L.D. tried to drop a nuclear bomb on the Hulk. Fury, in an act of rage, shoots Logan in the head.
    When Logan wakes up again, this time fully restored, he escapes with the aid of Forge. Instead of thanking Forge for the rescue, Logan demands the mutant make matching his and hers restraint collars to subdue the Hulks. He then lets slip that the Hulk is going to meet Logan again in Casablanca, unaware that Fury is listening in.
    leinil-francis-yu-ultimate-wolverine-vs-hulk-6-cover-hulk-and-wolverine.jpg
    Issue Six

    Wolverine goes to Casablanca with the collar that Forge created for him and confronts Betty, who had just taken a shower. He tells her to put it on but she refuses, turns into She-Hulk, and the two fight. She gouges out one of his eyes, but he stabs her in the spleen and kidney, and forces her to tell him where Bruce is. She agrees, and then turns back into Betty, and Logan leaves her.

    Logan goes to the airport where Bruce is, gets on the same plane, and sits next to him. Logan puts the collar on Bruce, telling him that if he turns into Hulk while the collar is on him, he will choke to death. Bruce asks why Logan simply won't just ? him and get it over with, and Logan says that he doesn't want to ? Bruce, he wants to ? the Hulk. Bruce says that he won't change, and then jumps out of the airplane emergency exit in mid-flight. Logan jumps out after him screaming at him to turn into the Hulk or the fall will ? him. Bruce says that he will only change if Logan cuts off the collar, or else Logan will have to deal with the fact that he simply let "Bruce" and not the "Hulk" fall to his death. Logan, not wanting to be responsible for Bruce's death and breaks the collar. Bruce changes to Hulk, holds Logan, and lands on his feet with no harm to either of them.

    Nick Fury shows up and tells them that they are free to go. Hulk, confused and angry, grabs Fury and threatens to ? him. Fury says that Hulk is free, because they now have She-Hulk in their possession, and are trying to reverse-engineer what she did to herself. But as long as they have Betty working for them, they know that Bruce will not hurt them, and will always have an incentive to come back and work for S.H.I.E.L.D. Hulk lets Fury go, and Fury leaves. Hulk and Logan talk calmly about how they are going to get back to civilization now that they are in the middle of nowhere. Logan asks if Hulk can pick him up and jump to the nearest town, and Hulk agrees.

    David_Finch_-_MODOK_vs._Hulks.jpg
    HULK'S ENEMIES

    MODOK

    Origin

    George Tarleton is a technician for the organization Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM). Having recently created the artifact the Cosmic Cube, the AIM scientists use advanced mutagenics to alter Tarleton and create the super intelligent MODOC (acronym for Mental Organism Designed Only for Computing) to study and improve the object. MODOC, however, becomes ambitious and kills its former masters and takes control of AIM. Calling itself MODOK (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing), it comes into conflict with the hero Captain America, who is intent on rescuing SHIELD agent Sharon Carter from AIM.

    MODOK becomes a recurring foe for Captain America, battling the hero on three more occasions, with the last encounter revealing the villain's origin. MODOK also battles Namor the Sub-Mariner and Doctor Doom, who is intent on claiming the Cosmic Cube.

    MODOK reappears and kidnaps Betty Ross, changing her into the mutant Harpy in a bid to destroy the Hulk. The character follows the Hulk and the Harpy to a floating aerie, where the Hulk's alter ego Bruce Banner cures Ross of her condition. MODOK and an AIM team arrive in time to ? the creature the Bi-Beast, the guardian of the aerie, but not before activating a self-destruct mechanism, forcing the characters to flee.[6] MODOK also accepts the offer of the other-dimensional being the Black Lama and participates in the "War of the Supervillains", but fails to capture the prize when defeated by Iron Man.

    AIM becomes dissatisfied with the lack of scientific advancement and MODOK's obsession with seeking revenge against metahumans, ousting him from power. MODOK attempts to regain control of the organization and prove his worth by unleashing a nerve agent on New York City, which is prevented by Ms. Marvel and the Vision.[8] MODOK seeks revenge against Ms. Marvel, attempting to mind control the heroine[9] and then hire assassin Deathbird to ? her;[10] Ms. Marvel overcomes these obstacles and finally defeats MODOK.

    MODOK's ambitions grow and he seeks world ? , but is thwarted by Iron Man and superhero team the Champions. After an attempt to plunder the resources of the Savage Land and a battle with the savage Ka-Zar and the Hulk, the character develops a new biological agent called Virus X. MODOK's attempts to test the agent on the homeless is prevented by the Thing, Sub-Mariner, and Captain America, although the villain escapes and the Thing almost dies when exposed to the virus.



    Powers and abilities

    George Tarleton is subjected to a mutagenic process that grants him superhuman intelligence, including a computer-like memory, the ability to scour and retain large databanks of information very quickly and solve abstract mathematical problems nearly instantaneously. He also has the ability to calculate the mathematical probability of any given event occurring; an ability so strong that it borders on precognition. However, his creativity remains at average human level. As MODOK, the character also has psionic powers enabling him to mentally control both individuals and large groups, and generate force fields able to withstand minor nuclear explosions. Courtesy of AIM technology, MODOK wears a headband that enables him to focus his mental power into a devastating beam.

    A side effect of the mutation was the growth of Tarleton's head to the point whereby his body can no longer support the weight, necessitating the use of an exoskeleton and hoverchair. The chair is equipped with a variety of weapons including missiles and lasers. Occasionally, Tarleton had the use of a giant humanoid vehicle that was proportionally sized to his head. Tarleton's organs also wear out quickly, necessitating the use of harvested clones, whose organs are used to sustain him.

    As the leader of A.I.M., MODOK has advanced technology and a personal army at his disposal.

    GRAVAGE HULK
    gravage-Hulk.jpg

    Height: 6' 6"

    Weight: 900 lbs.

    Hair: Green

    Eyes: Green

    Strength: Superhuman Class 70 tons (with potential for Superhuman Class 100)

    Intelligence: While not slow the way the savage is, Gravage would often be easily distracted or might forget what he was doing. However he still posessed an intracate knowledge of how to accomplish his intentions with a crafty and informed manner.

    Limitations: There were many different reasons why the Hulk would tranform back into Banner during this time. Banner tranformed into Hulk and Hulk into Banner from radiation. Rick Jones would shoot a pill down Hulk's throat to bring about the regression.There was also a bizarre time when Banner would change into the Hulk because of anxiety (which by itself isn't weird but...) and the Hulk would turn back into Banner when he became to excited.

    For those who don't know. The Hulk's original skin color was supposed to grey so he could be identified with any ethnic color but the printing ink was to dark at the time so they went with green.

    SHE HULK She_Hulk_23_by_Summerset.jpg

    Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Bruce Banner (Hulk), is the small and somewhat shy daughter of Los Angeles County Sheriff William Morris Walters and Elaine (née Banner) Walters (who died in a car crash when Jennifer was seventeen). Operatives of Nicholas Trask, a crime boss who had crossed paths with her father, shot and seriously wounded her on a day that Bruce Banner happened to be in town for a visit. Since no other donors with her blood type were available, Banner provided his own blood for a transfusion; as they already shared the same blood type and DNA, his radioactive blood, combined with her anger transformed Jennifer into the green-skinned She-Hulk when the mobsters tried to finish her off at the hospital.

    As She-Hulk, Jennifer possessed powers similar to those of her cousin, though at a reduced level. She also possessed a less monstrous, more amazonian appearance. Initially, the transformation to her She-Hulk form was triggered (as with Bruce Banner's) by anger. Like her cousin Bruce, his counterpart, the Leader, Doc Samson, and most other persons mutated by exposure to Gamma Radiation over the years, her mutated form was originally explained as being molded by her subconscious desire to look like the ideal woman. She eventually gains control of her transformations when Michael Morbius cures her of a lethal blood disease. As a criminal defense lawyer, she defended Dr. Michael Morbius in his trial for his vampiric killings.

    A transfusion of gamma-irradiated blood from her cousin Bruce Banner (the Hulk) granted Jennifer Walters superhuman powers. In her She-Hulk form, she possesses enormous superhuman strength, that potentially makes her, by far, the physically strongest known woman in the Marvel Universe when her emotional state is sufficiently high.


    Although She-Hulk's strength originally remained at a set level and did not increase, later in her history her strength has sporadically been stated to increase further from fear, or anger, similar to her cousin. In addition the character possesses superhuman speed, agility, stamina, and reflexes.

    As She-Hulk, Walters is exponentially stronger than she is in her Jennifer Walters form; therefore any extra strength gained as Jennifer Walters through intense physical training will be amplified, making her She-Hulk form even stronger. After being defeated by the Champion of the Universe, She-Hulk exercised for several months in her Jennifer Walters form, resulting in a significant gain in strength and muscular mass in her She-Hulk form and allowing her to soundly defeat the Champion in a rematch. At this time she was able to effortlessly sustain the Thing's maximum weight with a single arm, while her strength was greatly restrained by a "Jupiter suit," and she was shown as considerably stronger than Hercules.[ Her calm strength level has since receded, but remains somewhat higher than, for example, Wonder Man.

    She-Hulk's body is superhumanly durable and nearly impervious to force, pain, and disease: her skin can withstand extremes of temperature, as well as tremendous stresses and impacts without puncture wounds or lacerations. Her enhanced physiology renders her immune to all terrestrial diseases. She-Hulk also possesses a healing factor, which enabled her to completely recover, within minutes, from a skewering by the Wendigo.

    Unlike Hulk, Jennifer's personality and intelligence are less affected when she transforms into She-Hulk, although she becomes more self-confident and assertive. For a long time, She-Hulk could not revert to her original human form.

    Due to training from the alien Ovoids, She-Hulk is able to swap powers and physiques with other women of the same species, but retains her green skin pigmentation, and only used it once.
    Due to the Hulk's wish, Jennifer can now switch between her human and hulk forms at will.

    Skills
    She-Hulk is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained by Captain America and Gamora. Even in her Jennifer Walters form, she possesses sufficient skill in the martial arts to dispatch several would-be muggers much larger than she is. She once displayed sufficient knowledge of acupressure to render the Abomination insensate by striking several nerve clusters after first using psychology to distract him.

    The character is also a skilled and experienced attorney who attended UCLA School of Law, where she was a member of the Order of the Coif, a national merit society for top legal scholars. She-Hulk had performed legal work as a member of the Magistrati, who had the power to compel her to adjudicate cases anywhere in creation. She ceased to operate in this function after successfully adjudicating the merits of her own Universe to continue existing (opposed by the Ultimate Marvel Universe) before the Living Tribunal.

    LOVE THE HULK, MY FAV COMIC BOOK CHARACTER....

    I WAS READING YEARS AGO ON WHY THEY CHANGED HIS NAME.... CAUSE U KNOW HE WAS NAMED BRUCE AND SOMETIMES DAVID


    There are a couple of versions of this story. The first was that the name "Bruce" was considered stereotypically ? in the 1970s. The second was that producer Ken Johnson hated illiterating names like "Bruce Banner", "Clark Kent", "Matt Murdock" and "Peter Parker."

    @MRDRO Banner have many name changes i remember somewhere i was reading that Banner's names is Robert David Bruce Banner,lol... thanks for the breakdown of the name change i didnt even know that was the reason for the name changes
