Dibuat oleh penulis Stan Lee dan artis John Buscema, ia pertama kali muncul di Savage She-Hulk #1 (Februari 1980). Sepupu Bruce Banner, Jennifer Walters pernah menerima transfusi darah darurat darinya ketika dia terluka, yang menyebabkan dirinya memperoleh efek ringan dari kondisi Hulk-nya. Dengan demikian, Walters menjadi versi hijau-warni kuat besar dirinya sementara sebagian besar masih mempertahankan kepribadiannya; khususnya dia mempertahankan kecerdasan dan pengendalian emosi, meskipun seperti Hulk, dia masih menjadi kuat jika marah. Dalam masalah kemudian, transformasinya permanen.

She-Hulk telah menjadi anggota Avengers, Fantastic Four, Heroes for Hire, Fantastic Force, dan SHIELD. Seorang pengacara yang sangat terampil, ia menjabat sebagai penasehat hukum ke berbagai superhero pada banyak kesempatan.^[2]

Kepribadian karakter telah berubah selama beberapa dekade sejak penampilan pertamanya: awalnya pemarah dan kekerasan, dia sekarang digambarkan sebagai wanita yang suka mencintai, baik hati, berempati, tetapi tetap penuh semangat yang sering menggunakan humor saat bertarung. Dia telah menyatakan bahwa dia tidak ingin membunuh musuh-musuhnya, terutama yang sudah dia tolak.^[3]

Dia juga memulai dan memimpin organisasi bantuan bencananya sendiri,^[4] dan merasa sangat menyesal karena hampir menghancurkan sebuah kota kecil (karena keadaannya yang berubah-ubah menjadi tidak terkendali dari radiasi), dimana dia membantu pekerja bangunan untuk membangunnya kembali.^[5]

Fisiologi yang disempurnakan membuatnya kebal terhadap semua penyakit terestrial. She-Hulk juga memiliki faktor penyembuhan, yang memungkinkannya sembuh total, beberapa menit kemudian, dari miring oleh Wendigo.^[11]

Tidak seperti Hulk, kepribadian dan kecerdasan Jennifer kurang terpengaruh saat ia berubah menjadi She-Hulk, meski ia menjadi lebih percaya diri dan tegas. Untuk waktu yang lama, She-Hulk tidak dapat kembali ke bentuk aslinya.

Karena latihan dari alien Ovoids, She-Hulk mampu menukar kekuatan dan fisik dengan wanita manusia lainnya, tetapi tetap mempertahankan pigmentasi kulit hijaunya, dan hanya menggunakannya sekali.^[12]

Karena keinginan Hulk, Jennifer sekarang dapat beralih antara bentuk manusia dan Hulknya sesuka hati.^[13]

Untuk sementara, berkat hex cast oleh Scarlet Witch, siapa pun yang menginginkan She-Hulk harm tidak dapat mengenalinya sebagai Jennifer,^[14] namun efek samping yang berbahaya memaksa Jennifer untuk mencari bantuan Doctor queer untuk menghapus kutukan.^[15]

She-Hulk adalah kombatan Relaxing dari tangan-ke-tangan yang telah dilatih oleh Captain America dan Gamora. Bahkan dalam bentuk Jennifer Walters-nya, dia memiliki keterampilan yang cukup dalam seni bela diri untuk mengirim beberapa calon perampok lebih besar dari dirinya. Dia pernah menunjukkan pengetahuan akupresur yang cukup untuk membuat Abomination itu tidak berperasaan dengan menyerang beberapa kelompok saraf setelah pertama kali menggunakan psikologi untuk mengalihkan perhatiannya.^[16]
