Women lawyers might have a new role model. A revived Marvel comic book series heralds the re-appearance of this legal superstar. Move over Matt Murdock, the Manhattan trial lawyer who doubles as the superhero Daredevil. You now have a female counterpart at the comic book bar. Her name is Jennifer Walters, a/k/a She-Hulk, graduate of UCLA law school, member of the Order of the Coif, and she explodes gender stereotypes as she shakes up the legal establishment.
Jennifer used to be a “shy attorney, good at her job and quiet in her life.” No more; she has been transformed. Shot and critically wounded by a crime boss, Jennifer needed a blood transfusion, which she got from her cousin, scientist Dr. Bruce Banner, otherwise known as the Incredible Hulk.
