How Tall is She-Hulk in the Marvel Universe?
Jennifer Walters‘ green-hued alter ego She-Hulk towers impressively at 6 feet 7 inches per Marvel canon across comics and live-action adaptations. This places her among the tallest female superheroes around, with stature rivaling powerful male heroes.
Transforming into a Gamma-powered Giantess
She-Hulk originated when Jennifer received a life-saving blood transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner, better known as the Hulk. This infusion of irradiated blood transformed her into the jade giantess, but with crucial differences from Hulk given the smaller gamma exposure. She retains more control and intelligence while becoming incredibly strong, durable and towering in size.
| Height (Normal) | Jennifer Walters: 5‘10" | Bruce Banner: 5‘9" |
| Height (Transformed) | She-Hulk: 6‘7" | Hulk: 7‘8" (varies) |
| Strength Class | She-Hulk: 100+ tons | Hulk: 100+ tons, no upper limit |
Unlike her rage-fueled cousin whose power has no defined upper limit, She-Hulk‘s strength levels around 100 tons. This still puts her in the top tier capable of trading blows with the mightiest of foes.
MCU She-Hulk Sticks Close to Comic Book Height
Within Marvel Studios‘ reality, She-Hulk is brought to life by actress Tatiana Maslany through performance capture as the towering 6‘7" powerhouse in the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Executive producer Jessica Gao addressed criticism of Jen not appearing muscular enough compared to female bodybuilders:
"Finding the balance between portraying [Jen] as a very realistically proportioned woman was important to us…She still needed to feel like a real person that the audience could connect with."
While not the exaggerated proportions of icons like Wonder Woman, She-Hulk strikes an impressive balance as both the woman-next-door and gamma-powered giantess in the MCU.
Fan Reactions to Live-Action She-Hulk
Responses from Marvel fans on She-Hulk‘s introduction into the MCU has been largely positive, with many praising Maslany‘s performance and the show‘s lighthearted legal comedy tone. However, some criticism remains about her physique not being epic enough, especially as CGI allows unlimited possibilities:
"She-Hulk in the comics has always been drawn super muscular and forward-facing like a bodybuilder…I wish they pushed this translate more on screen."
Despite qualms by some viewers, her commanding 6‘7 frame clearly stands out with strength worthy of the Marvel pantheon.
Across Comic Book History, Artist Interpretations of Height Vary
Diving back to her comic origins, She-Hulk has seen shifting portrayals across her 1980 debut and numerous creative teams since:
Her early days under creator Stan Lee presented a giantess that towered hugely, often drawn as 8 feet or more. John Byrne‘s seminal late 80‘s run established the now standard 6 foot 7 mark, while keeping her looks relatively slender versus the Hulk. Even within the comics, shapeshifting skills have allowed grey She-Hulk to grow even larger for brief periods before snapping back to her base height.
