She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

About the series

Contains story spoilers.

Jennifer Walters is a Los Angeles attorney whose life changes when her cousin Bruce Banner’s blood enters a wound she suffers in a car crash. The change gives her Hulk abilities, but her priorities remain her own: she wants to return to court and continue practicing law, not trade her profession for superhero work. Banner brings her to his laboratory in Mexico and tries to train her, assuming his experience will guide her. Jennifer handles the drills quickly and resists his expectation that she must build a new life around controlling rage. Their disagreement becomes a fight before Banner accepts that she can decide what the powers mean to her.

The personal choice is tested in court. During Jennifer’s case, influencer Titania bursts through a wall while fleeing her own trial, forcing Jennifer to transform and stop her. The intervention wins the immediate fight but changes the case: the defence argues the jury has been influenced, the judge declares a mistrial, and the district attorney’s office fires Jennifer. Other firms see her public identity as a complication. GLK&H, the opposing firm, instead offers her a job leading a new superhuman-law division, though partner Holden Holliway initially expects her to appear as She-Hulk. Jennifer brings her friend Nikki Ramos into the new workplace as her paralegal, giving her expertise a place in a world where extraordinary abilities create ordinary disputes.

Her first major client is Emil Blonsky, whose parole bid is complicated by leaked footage of him as the Abomination in an underground fight. Jennifer is wary because he once tried to kill Bruce, but after meeting him in prison she believes his remorse. Blonsky explains that Wong removed him from his cell for a fight and that he returned voluntarily; Wong later agrees to testify. At the hearing, Blonsky demonstrates that he can keep his reason while transformed and return to human form. The board releases him on parole with an inhibitor designed by Bruce to prevent transformation, making the decision conditional on his continued compliance.

Superhuman law also brings Jennifer’s former colleague Dennis Bukowski to GLK&H. His ex-girlfriend Runa, a shapeshifting Light Elf, defrauded him by posing as performer Megan Thee Stallion; Pug handles the case, and Jennifer helps him win after Runa impersonates the judge. In another dispute, magician Donny Blaze sends audience member Madisynn King into another dimension, where she makes a demon’s deal before landing at Wong’s home. Wong asks Jennifer to help stop Blaze misusing the Mystic Arts for entertainment. Her suit establishes Blaze needs the Sorcerer Supreme’s permission to practice. When his careless act unleashes demons, Jennifer and Wong contain them and enforce a cease-and-desist order. Meanwhile, a dating profile brings a personal problem: men respond more readily when she presents herself as She-Hulk. The filing names both Blaze and Mystic Castle’s curator Cornelius P. Willows, tying the venue that presents the act to the misuse of the magic. Once a judge limits Blaze’s practice and the creatures spill into the performance, the dispute moves from a question of permissions to an immediate public danger that Jennifer and Wong must contain.

Titania claims the She-Hulk name after trademarking it for beauty products. Holliway assigns Mallory Book to represent Jennifer, and they countersue. Jennifer realizes that her dating-app history records her using the name before Titania’s filing; the court hears from her past dates and rules for Jennifer, ordering Titania to stop selling products under that name. Mallory’s view of Jennifer softens into a tentative friendship. Away from court, Nikki and Pug arrange a fitting with Luke Jacobson, who makes specialized suits for superheroes. He designs Jennifer clothing that works in both forms, giving her a practical way to keep her personal and superhero identities in the same working life. Later, client Eugene Patilio, or Leap-Frog, sues Jacobson over a faulty suit. Matt Murdock represents the tailor and wins when Patilio admits he ignored instructions and used jet fuel in his rocket boots. After Patilio kidnaps Jacobson, Jennifer and Matt rescue him; the other kidnappers are arrested and Patilio injures himself trying to escape.

At a law awards gala, Intelligencia broadcasts private footage of Jennifer with Josh Miller. She loses control, destroys the stage and is taken into Department of Damage Control custody. After her release, Nikki and Pug infiltrate an Intelligencia gathering and identify billionaire Todd Phelps as its creator, HulkKing; Blonsky is speaking there without knowing the group’s purpose. Phelps injects himself with Jennifer’s blood, while Titania, Bruce and Blonsky enter the resulting fight. Jennifer breaks the fourth wall and confronts K.E.V.I.N., the fictional production’s decision-making system, persuading it to change the climax. Phelps and the group are arrested. Blonsky returns to prison for violating parole, though Wong later takes him to Kamar-Taj. Jennifer regains her job and chooses to continue as both lawyer and superhero. Bruce returns from Sakaar and introduces his son Skaar to the family.
