She-Hulk: Attorney at Law trailer

[Tonguez]

So they mashed together the young-single-woman-in-the-city genre and the superhero genre. Creative, bit of a play to extend the audience probably. (Though I believe the character was always written like this from my knowledge of Marvel?)

1980 - debut of Savage She-Hulk a raging amazon type (created to ensure Universal Television couldnt use the Bionic Womans success as an reason to spin off a female Hulk of their own). While she was angier, even as Savage She-Hulk she was much slimmer and more talkative than The Hulk.
1982 - becomes an Avenger
1984 - joins Fantastic 4

1985 - Sensational She-Hulk gets a graphic novel where John Byrne reimagines her sexier, and confident in her Hulkiness and inspired by the Moonlighting tv series makes her fully aware that she is in a comic book.

1989 - Sensational She-Hulk gets her own series that emphasizes the comedic style, even to the extent of directly arguing with the writer and physically crossing the white lines between comic panels, also pushes the comics code of acceptable sexiness. The series runs till 1994 (a long time in comics)

After these she floundered around wth low sales or guest spots, her greatest foe is revealed to be John Byrne, until

2004 She-Hulk returns written by Dan Slott who emphasizes her Lawyer career, less meta but maintains the comedy. Dann Slott also gives us Single Green Female with all that implies

2008 gets a replacement and 2009 goes Red

since 2010 has been a secondary character in the Hulk books, or appeared with Avengers, F4 or Heroes for Hire etc

(note a couple of edits made)

A fairly accurate timeline but Byrne's reimagining, if you want to call it that, really started with Roger Stern's Avengers and Byrne upped the ante in FF. She-Hulk's graphic novel wasn't where She-Hulk's awareness of being in a comic started (that's where Jen got "permanently" stuck as She-Hulk), that wasn't until her later solo series, also done by Byrne, and she started breaking the fourth wall.

I would also dispute John Byrne being her "greatest enemy". She-Hulk, as we know her today, wouldn't exist without Byrne's long tenure with the character.

thats actually a quote used in one of the graphic novels, where She-Hulk attempts to climb out of the comic and beat up the writer (Byrne), of course she gets pulled back because there might be readers watching… John Byrne went very meta and played up their arguing as a trope, and yes he was very very influential.

good point about the earlier stuff in Avengers and FF, especially as Byrne was lead on FF too

He's her greatest enemy in-comic. IRL of course the whole meta thing was a great breakout moment for the character.

Kind of like the way Optimus Prime's death was bad for the character, but wound up being great for the series by increasing the emotional depth (though of course it was only initially done to sell toys) and made Optimus Prime a much more memorable character and probably helped keep the series going as long as it did.

Thanks for clearing all that up!

You're right, I totally forgot about that. Good call

Spoiler

The big, green legal machine appears to be pitching her services to Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth), among others. Walters is heard workshopping the script, with someone in the background giving her notes. "Hi, you've reached the superhuman law division at GLK&H," Walters says before someone tells her to "record it as She-Hulk." Walters retorts, "You know they can't see me, right? Okay, whatever."

After informing potential clients how important their call is to her, Walters pitches her legal services. "Have you been fined for thousands of dollars for damage to the city you were trying to protect? Did you accidentally create a sentient robot who got the feels and tried to destroy the world? Maybe you're an Asgardian god who leaves a giant, burning imprint on private property every time you arrive on Earth."
