* BareYourMidriff: She-Hulk's "civilian" outfit in "The Incredible Shrinking Hulks". Oddly, she apparently wearing her leotard (which doesn't follow this trope) underneath. Unless they changed clothes during the title card. (But where did they get the tiny clothes?)

** Mainframe, an [[Comicbook/TheAvengers Avenger]] from the [[ComicBook/MarvelComics2 MC2]] line, is turned [[AIIsACrapshoot into a villain who attempts to destroy New York City]]. However, the episode does end with Mainframe leaving to experience the world after being defeated, and only then does he take on his comic appearance and get his [[BossSubtitles Boss Subtitle]], as if to say "okay, ''now'' he's the real Mainfraime," all hinting pretty strongly that he'd become a little closer to his comic counterpart. He does come back in time to help the heroes against the Kree, showing he is clearly a hero.

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: The first three confirmed villains for the show are Annihilus, Blastaar, and Ego the Living Planet, all three of whom are traditionally enemies of the Comicbook/FantasticFour. They also face off against The Collector, normally an [[Comicbook/TheAvengers Avengers]] foe (Although Hulk is an Avenger in most comics and media). There was also an episode where the team faced off against Sauron, who's traditionally an X-Men villain. And one not normally considered in the Hulk's league for that matter, since one of his main powers is hypnotism and one of the Hulk's powers in the comics is resistance to mind control.

** Xemnu mentions one of his other titles is "Xemnu the Living Hulk". He was originally called The Living Hulk ([[NamesTheSame or just The Hulk]]) in the comics, before his reappearance in a Defenders story ''with'' the big green guy forced the change to "The Titan". A "hulk" is originally a rotting ship, if you're wondering.

* ShesGotLegs: Just like in the comics, She-hulk and Titania are not only shown to be muscularly buxom, but they are shown to have very muscularly attractive legs(especially now that Titania wears white tights with her outfit which allow the viewers to see her attractive legs through the white fabric).

* AdaptationalJobChange: In a stark contrast to her comic counterpart, She-Hulk's a Hollywood stuntwoman rather than a lawyer. During her debut appearance, she explains that stunt work was the only job she could get due to her alarming appearance, which may be a reference to Wonder Man's struggles with the same issue in the comics.



* ClassifiedInformation: When A-Bomb explains Hulk's origins to viewers he attempts to show footage of the incident, only for Red Hulk to deny it due to the footage being classified by the military and only allowing a crude reenactment via drawings.



** In "The Big Green Mile", She-Hulk mentions to fellow prisoner Titania that she has a law degree. In the comics, Jennifer Walters was a lawyer before becoming She-Hulk, but [[RealityEnsues she couldn't get hired as a lawyer in Agents of S.M.A.S.H.]] because of her mutation.
