Marvel's She-Hulk Review: "Is She the Most Powerful Woman in The Marvel Universe"

She-Hulk is the cousin of the most powerful hero of the Marvel universe, and that’s no hyperbole. In fact, She-Hulk is one of the strongest heroes in existence. Unlike her green cousin, Jennifer Walters has an unbridled need to protect those she cares about at any cost. And with her monstrous alter ego, She-Hulk doesn’t just protect others—she destroys anything that gets in her way or poses a threat to people she cares about. With that in mind, let’s take a look at just how dangerous this gamma-enhanced heroine really is.

She-Hulk: An Introduction to the World’s Most Dangerous Woman

As the cousin of the Incredible Hulk, She-Hulk is likely the most famous member of the extended Walters family. However, Anna Marie only briefly served as the Hulk’s sidekick in the ‘90s, and has since made her name as a superhero. Believed to have come from a family of superhumans, Jennifer Walters was born with an incredible amount of physical strength. Unfortunately, she also suffered from severe mood swings and a very low IQ. In high school, Walters’ first known brush with superpowers was when she happened upon a laboratory accident. As part of her science class, Walters was meant to position an electrode on a low voltage body in order to see what happened when the voltage was increased. However, when Walters was distracted by a loud noise from the corridor, she accidentally plugged herself in. Upon realizing what had happened, the young prodigy freaked out and ran away out of fear. However, her super strength went right along with her electrical charge, causing her to run right into a tree. As a result, Anna Marie was paralyzed from the chest down along with losing feeling in her arms and legs.

The Incredible Hulk’s gamma-irradiated cousin is a compact powerhouse

When Walters entered college, she chose to follow her passion for science. However, since she was paralyzed, Walters had to learn to walk again. And as a scientist, she was well suited to studying the neurological effects of extreme stimulation. This is what led Walters to her electromagnetic form in the first place. Extreme stimulation of the human brain—like high-voltage electrical currents—has been proven to induce the same kind of mental stimulation that causes superpowers in normal human beings. And though Walters’ powers are nowhere near the Hulk’s, her reconfigurable physiology is still enough to make her a powerful force to be reckoned with.

She-Hulk is an expert in combat and has futuristic moves like the Molecular Burst

As a former Avenger, Jennifer Walters has access to a very large variety of combat skills. However, since she’s also a neuroscientist, she focuses on the most effective methods of combat. For instance, while most people would shy away from a fight against a superstrong opponent, Walters is the exact opposite. As an expert fighter, she knows just how to get the most out of herself while minimizing the risk of injury to herself. With her superstrength, Walters is in a very advantageous position in a fight. And since she also has years of fighting experience, her moves are also highly advanced. With her superhuman strength, Walters can use punching and grappling techniques not just as attacks, but also for self-defense. This includes the Molecular Burst, which allows her to create a burst of highly destructive molecules for a few seconds.

She-Hulk can also take down much larger opponents with her fists of fury

As a member of the Avengers, She-Hulk has access to a variety of powerful allies. However, sometimes She-Hulk has to handle situations that even the most experienced heroes would hesitate to face alone. As such, Walters is an expert at street fighting. With her superhuman strength and durability, She-Hulk can take on both ordinary thugs and much more powerful villains. If a fight goes sideways, Walters has enough training to keep her safe. And if things really get out of hand, she can defend herself with just her fists of fury. With her superhuman strength, She-Hulk can deliver powerful punches, elbows, knees, and even powerful head butts.

Wrap Up

In the Marvel universe, there is no other hero as powerful as She-Hulk. When a threat is too large for any one superhero to handle, they can count on the Incredible Hulk’s cousin to save the day. However, even the strongest woman in the Marvel universe has her limits. With her unbridled need to protect others and her tendency towards recklessness, She-Hulk is sure to face many dangers in her life.
