History ComicBook / TheSavageSheHulk

Set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, it stars a new character, Jennifer "Jen" Walters, who becomes the titular [[Characters/SheHulkTitleCharacter She-Hulk]].

* DoesNotLikeShoes: While later zig-zagged in her appearances after this comic, She-Hulk here is always seen barefoot.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Don't expect to find the usually happy, vivacious and occasionally forth-wall breaking She-Hulk in this comic; in fact, aside from some sightly better control over her transformation and a more robust vocabulary, the She-Hulk in this comic can be just as ill-tempered and destructive as her cousin.

* AppropriatedAppellation: Jen's first transformation is when some of Nick Trask's thugs try to murder her while she's recovering in hospital. Seeing the huge, green woman she becomes, they name her the She-Hulk - and she happily adopts the name.

Jen, a young lawyer living in Los Angeles, was surprised to see her long-lost cousin [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]], who is currently on the run from both the military and law enforcement. Before the two had a chance to really catch up, thugs working for crime boss Nicolas Trask attack them and one of the thugs shoots Jennifer in the back. Desperate to save his dying cousin, Bruce took her to a doctor's office and performed an impromptu blood transfusion before taking her to the hospital. After that, when Banner was gone, the goons arrived to finish off Jennifer. However, as they attempted to knock her out with chloroform, the stress of the situation caused her to metamorphosize into a female (and much smarter) version of the Hulk. After defeating the thugs, Jennifer returns to normal and vows to use her new, gamma-powered other self to fight crime.
