She-Hulk aka Jennifer Walters was the last major character to be co-created by Stan Lee for Marvel Comics. Walters is an attorney and cousin of Bruce Banner (The Hulk). She got her power after an emergency blood transfusion from Banner, but contrary to him she was able to keep her intelligence and personality when she ‘Hulked’ out. The character first appeared in comics as a member of the Fantastic Four in the 1980s. However, it is uncertain how the work on She-Hulk will move forward amid the coronavirus pandemic.
