The Canadian 34-year-old will officially join the Marvel Comics Universe as She-Hulk, which was one of the last major characters to be co-created by the late Stan Lee.

The green-skinned superhero starts off as highly-skilled lawyer Jennifer Walters, who transforms after having a life-saving (yet gamma-irradiated) blood transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner/Hulk.

Whenever She-Hulk gets highly emotional – cue the PMS jokes – she can potentially become the physically strongest known woman in the MCU.
