->''"Dad told me to forget Bruce Banner! But I could as soon forget my heart... or my soul!"''
-->-- '''Betty Ross'''

'''Elizabeth "Betty" Ross''' is a Creator/MarvelComics character, who originally appeared as a major supporting character in ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'' comics. She later became BrainwashedAndCrazy {{supervillain}}ess "Harpy", and then into an [[AntiHero anti-heroine]] as "Red She-Hulk". She was created by Creator/StanLee and Creator/JackKirby, her Harpy persona was created by Steve Englehart and Herb Trimpe, and her Red She-Hulk persona was created by Creator/JephLoeb and Ed [=McGuinness=]. She was introduced into the Franchise/MarvelUniverse in ''The Incredible Hulk'' #1 (1962) as Betty Ross, ''The Incredible Hulk'' #168 (1973) as Harpy, ''Hulk'' vol. 2 #15 (2009) as Red She-Hulk, and ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'' #16 (2019) as Red Harpy.

Betty is Bruce Banner's first and most enduring LoveInterest, and daughter of [[ComicBook/RedHulk General Thunderbolt Ross]], one of the Hulk's longtime foes. She's since been through almost as much trauma as Banner himself: she's married, and then divorced Glenn Talbot; been estranged from her father; been turned into the supervillainess Harpy by ComicBook/{{MODOK}}; nearly died of cancer given to her by the Abomination; and finally been turned into the Red She-Hulk by The Leader, who then forced her to fight against most of the heroes of Earth. Back in control of herself (but still empowered), Betty struggled to establish a new sense of self. She briefly had her own 10-issue series as Red She-Hulk that ran from December 2012 to September 2013.

Unfortunately, Doc Green (Hulk's new persona that's ''both'' super smart and strong) came to the conclusion that the world was in danger from Gamma Mutates, who thus needed to be depowered. After Doc Green depowered A-Bomb (Rick Jones) and Skaar, he also depowered Betty and she lost her power as Red She-Hulk.

Except this didn't stick. During the ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'' storyline, she was shot in the head by Bushwacker. She subsequently self-revived in a new Gamma Mutate form; a crimson-skinned and more-monstrous looking version of her ancient Harpy persona, nicknamed "Red Harpy" by the fans.

----
!! Betty Ross provides examples of the following tropes:

* AbsoluteCleavage: When she still had her Red She-Hulk power, Betty wore a black leather suit that exposes her cleavage.
* ActionGirl / DarkActionGirl: As Harpy and Red She-Hulk. In her normal form, Betty is moderately skilled in the use of small firearms.
* AdaptationDyeJob: She's blonde in the 1996 animated series. This was a carryover from an ''actual'' dye job in the comics in the early 1990s.
* AmazonianBeauty: As Red She-Hulk, and she also has a habit of getting her clothes torn.
* AntiHero: As Red She-Hulk, after she's freed from The Leader's control.
* BadassFamily: Her lover is Hulk, her father is ComicBook/RedHulk, and her paternal great-aunt is a [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] superheroine Golden Girl (Betsy Ross). There are also cousin-by-marriage ComicBook/SheHulk, and step-children Skaar and Lyra. Betty also has a daughter, the benevolent mystical entity Daydream, due to being raped by Nightmare, but although the demon keeps up his creepy "children fathered through rape" tendency with Trauma and Dreamqueen, nobody has had an interest in reintroducing her yet.
* BattleCouple: With Hulk as Red She-Hulk, sometimes.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: The Leader had to do this to her in order to make her into a willing servant as Red She-Hulk.
* {{BFS}}: As Red She-Hulk, she has a great sword named Savage Sword of She-Hulk, created by ComicBook/IronMan and blessed by [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Odin]].
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: By MODOK when she was Harpy and The Leader early in her time as Red She-Hulk.
* BreakTheCutie: Several decades of being around Bruce and the Hulk, and therefore being a target for all the insanity therein, have done a severe number on Betty.
* BroughtDownToNormal: She has been depowered by Doc Green (Hulk) in ''Hulk'' vol.3 #8 after he decided Gamma-powered mutates are threats to the world. [[spoiler:It didn't take. At least, not in the way he expected.]]
* CatchPhrase: As Red Harpy, she tends to say "this is me".
* ComicBookDeath: Actually died of cancer in the late 90s (Peter David had just come through a bad divorce). She stayed dead until 2009, when Jeph Loeb brought her back for ''Fall of the Hulks''.
* ConvenientMiscarriage: Nightmare killed her and Bruce's unborn baby.
* CooldownHug: Betty Ross can do this when the Hulk is especially irate.
* CruelToBeKind: In her first outing as Red Harpy, she rips out a blinded Hulk's heart, having worked out this would kick-start his healing factor, which had been momentarily disabled. However, Devil Hulk makes it clear he doesn't forgive or forget.
* DaddysGirl: At first, but Ross eventually managed to shatter that bond.
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: The biggest case in the whole Marvel universe. General Ross didn't think much of Bruce ''before'' the Hulk, and it's still not that clear which one he hates more.
* DeathFakedForYou: Her father faked her death and put her on ice until somebody found a cure for her condition.
* DistaffCounterpart: As Red She-Hulk, starts off as one to Red Hulk, right down to the CluelessMystery over her identity.
* TheDragon: As Harpy to MODOK and as Red She-Hulk to Leader.
* DyingAsYourself: Just barely averted. When Skaar stabs Red She-Hulk Betty reverts to herself in time to die... only to be saved by Doc Samson.
* DiscardAndDraw: Betty initially started out as a normal human love interest. Then she was mutated by MODOK into a Harpy-like gamma mutant who could fly and fire energy blasts. She was eventually cured. After being poisoned by the Abomination, Betty is revived by the Leader and MODOK as the Red She-Hulk and she is granted the same abilities as Hulk and She-Hulk as well as the ability to absorb energy like the Red Hulk. Bruce's "Doc Green" persona depowered her. As of ''Immortal Hulk'', Betty now has a gamma form resembling the Harpy form but now red.
* DysfunctionalFamily: Being the Hulk's wife and the daughter of General Ross, this is a given.
* EnergyAbsorption: As Red She-Hulk, she is able to absorb energy, such as radiation and power cosmic, to increase her power level, and can discharge energy by touch.
* EvilCounterpart: Red She-Hulk was initially this to ComicBook/SheHulk until Red She-Hulk is freed from the Leader's control.
* FanservicePack: When she became Red She-Hulk, Betty became much more sexualized often suffering ClothingDamage and at one point having sex with the Hulk while a guy with a giant eye ball for a head watched.
* FemmeFatalons: As Harpy, she had razor sharp talons which cut and tear through materials such as rock and metal, as well as carrying heavy objects.
* FirstGirlWins: She was Bruce's first canonical love interest, and the one that the writers will always come back to.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: As Red She-Hulk, her eye colour becomes glowing yellow. [[spoiler:The same as Red Harpy.]]
* HandBlast: As Harpy, she could fire powerful concussion blasts from her hands; which were so powerful that she hurt and knocked-out the Hulk when they fought.
* HarpingOnAboutHarpies: M.O.D.O.K. turned her into a Gamma-powered harpy once. After being shot in the head, she then resurrected as a crimson-skinned version of her original harpy person, thus combining her two Gamma Mutate identities into one.
* HealingFactor: As Red She-Hulk, she is capable of rapidly regenerating injuries such as the severe injury after being impaled by Skaar's massive sword.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: As Red She-Hulk, she has pulled one of those in ''Comicbook/IncredibleHulk'' sagas "Super Spy Banner" and "Heart of the Monster". She's a Face for good in the end of "Heart of the Monster". And then she seemingly resumes Heel status after becoming Red Harpy.
* HellBentForLeather: When she still had the Red She-Hulk power, Betty wore a black leather suit.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Actually fell for Glenn Talbot, a JerkAss at best, and a sociopathic SmugSnake at his worst.
* HotScientist: In ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'', ''Film/{{Hulk}}'' (2003), ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'', and some other adaptations.
* IllGirl: When she got cancer after being poisoned by the Abomination.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: By Skaar. She got better (see DyingAsYourself above).
* LightningBruiser: As a Gamma Mutate, she is both superhumanly strong and fast.
* LoveCannotOvercome: Being in love with the emotionally withdrawn Bruce Banner is tough enough already, and she was often driven away by his Hulk alter ego.
** Resurfaces again when she becomes the Red Harpy. [[spoiler: After being killed again and coming back as the more monstrous Red Harpy, her primary thoughts was how she went from loving Bruce to their incredibly toxic relationship with each other. When they finally reunite she cuts out and eats a weakened Hulk's heart, despite Hulk begging for her aid. Only that turns out to be an attempt to help Hulk - tearing his heart out kick-starts his disabled healing factor. But she still makes it clear she's ''pissed'' at him. In fact, she later learns to control her transformation, but refuses to appear as anything other than Red Harpy to Bruce. Eventually, Bruce reaches his breaking point and demands she transform back. Betty attacks him for it.]]
* LoveInterest: Other girls come and go, but Betty is always Bruce's love interest. Even when married to Glenn Talbot, she confessed that she was unable to stop being in love with Bruce.
* LoveTriangle: First with Bruce and Talbot, then with Bruce and disposable love interest Ramon. Throw her and Bruce's alternate personalities into the mix, and things get even more complicated.
* TheLostLenore: Becomes one for Bruce until she's BackFromTheDead.
* MilitaryBrat: She was the daughter of General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, and thusly has been immersed in military culture all her life.
* MostCommonSuperpower: As Red She-Hulk, unsurprisingly.
* {{Muggle}}: What she started off as, back in the '60s. Obviously, not so much these days.
* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: As Red She-Hulk her leather suit stretches to fit and regenerates from any ClothingDamage she accrues from battle.
* MythologyGag: The fact that she is the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel version of ComicBook/SheHulk could be seen as this, since she actually did spend a brief period of time as a gamma-empowered entity called [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies the Harpy]], which can basically be described as, well, She-Hulk as a harpy with the ability to fire energy blasts. She's also gone on to become the ComicBook/RedHulk version of She-Hulk in the mainstream verse as well.
* NightmareFace: [[spoiler:Red Harpy has a demonic face, glowing eyes, fangs, and an overly long tongue.]]
* OddFriendship: Curiously, while she's on the outs with Bruce, this doesn't apply to Joe Fixit (though this might have something to do with the fact Joe doesn't mind her Red Harpy form, unlike Bruce, who is incapable of handling the sight of it).
* PayEvilUntoEvil: As [[spoiler:Red Harpy]], she slaughters a bunch of Fortean's "clean-up" squad sent to kill any witnesses to the new Abomination's rampage.
* ProperlyParanoid: Being around Bruce and her dad for so long means she's got some tricks up her sleeves, in case any of their enemies are watching her. This messes up General Fortean's attempts to spy on her and Bruce reuniting in ''Immortal Hulk'' (but also might have played a part in Bushwhacker accidentally shooting her in the head, rather than Bruce).
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Initially. She settles into RedIsHeroic eventually but still remains [[RedIsViolent pretty violent.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:As Red Harpy, her eyes are solid red.]]
* ResurrectiveImmortality: [[spoiler:As of ''Immortal Hulk'', turns out so long as the sun's down, she can't die.]]
* TheRival: Her relationship with ComicBook/SheHulk has progressed to this. They also act as [[GoodCopBadCop Good Cop (Jen) and Bad Cop (Red)]] over in ''Incredible Hulks''.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Averted. Betty almost killed the Red Hulk, only to realise he was her father and stop in time.
* SkunkStripe: Inverted as Red She-Hulk, she has black hair with two stripes of red hair running through it, enhancing her similarity to a demon.
* SleevesAreForWimps: Her costume as Red She-Hulk is sleeveless.
* SplitPersonality: The degree to which she retains control over Red She-Hulk varies a lot. Sometimes it's just an angrier Betty, while at others it is an entirely different persona whom she fears losing control over.
** Red Harpy is ''vastly'' more malevolent and vicious than either Betty ''or'' Red She-Hulk. As seen when she massacres a bunch of mercenaries simply because she can (though it was in relational , and then ''rips out and eats the heart'' of a vulnerable [[spoiler:Hulk]].
*** Red Harpy appears to bring out the worse of Betty's bottled up emotions. [[spoiler: She's aware she could have just disarmed the mercenaries, but killed them anyway because they killed an innocent civilian. While she tracked Bruce her primary thoughts was how toxic their relationship was and how in the end it has turned her into a monster. While her internal monologue has her state "this is me", she also treats Betty as a separate person in a conversation with Devil Hulk.]]
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: A constant risk as Red She-Hulk.
* StatuesqueStunner: As the seven-foot-tall Red She-Hulk.
* SuperStrength: When transformed into the Harpy. As Red She-Hulk her super strength goes off the charts.
* SuperheroPackingHeat: As Red She-Hulk, she was seen brandishing an automatic weapon.
* TerseTalker: As Red Harpy, she only ever speaks in short sentences, usually seven words at most.
* TragicMonster: As a Gamma Mutate in general.
** As Harpy: She was transformed against her will by ComicBook/{{MODOK}} into a mindless brute that he used as a living weapon.
** As Red She-Hulk: The same thing happened to her ''again'', only she was smart enough to realize she was being used as a puppet by the Leader.
** As Red Harpy: She literally was shot in the head and then woke up in this new mutant form, which has a SplitPersonality that is far more monstrous and consciously evil than either of her previous forms.
* TrueLoveIsBoring: Bruce and Betty just can't be happy for long. Creator/PeterDavid did a worthy job of averting this for a while, but [[CreatorBreakdown David eventually had a messy divorce from his wife]], and [[TakeThat Betty happened to be her favorite character]]. [[CharacterDeath So...]] David later regretted his decision. Betty later came BackFromTheDead, but she and Bruce are not back together yet.
* UnstoppableRage: Beneath her calmer exterior, Betty is nearly as repressed as her husband. When she turns into Red She-Hulk all that rage finally gets an outlet. [[spoiler:Even more so as Red Harpy.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: Odd case with [[ComicBook/SheHulk Jennifer Walters]]. Betty gets along with Jen just fine. But when Betty turns into Red She-Hulk, [[VolleyingInsults they start trading insults back and forth]].
