STRENGTH LEVEL: The She-Hulk possesses superhuman strength and can lift (press) at least 90 tons. She is continuing to train to lift even greater weights, and the uppermost limit of her potential strength is as yet unknown. Originally, she was able to lift approximately 50 tons at the beginning of her career and then later 75 tons. However, she increased her strength level through a rigorous training regiment. Reed Richards has stated that She-Hulk has the potential to match the Hulk's strength level, which is in excess of 100 tons. As she continues to train, it remains to be seen what is the upper limit of her strength. However, unlike the Hulk, She-Hulk's strength does not increase with adrenaline surges.

KNOWN SUPERHUMAN POWERS: The She-Hulk possesses vast superhuman strength derived from a body-wide mutagenic change triggered by a transfusion of the gamma-irradiated blood of the Hulk. Jennifer Walters's close genetic resemblance to her cousin, Bruce Banner, enabled her body to transform without the direct exposure to the gamma radiation that affected the Hulk's body, and to transform into a being similar to the Hulk. (Intense gamma radiation would either kill most other people or induce harmful mutations in them). Because the catalyst for her transformation was indirect, the She-Hulk's superhuman form is not nearly as powerful as the Hulk's.


Unlike the Hulk, the She-Hulk retained and retains her normal intelligence and personality in her superhuman form. (However, her enjoyment in being the She-Hulk has caused Walters to become more uninhibited in her behavior in the time since she first became the She-Hulk). Because she retains her normal intelligence, the She-Hulk is incapable of the primal rages that trigger increased levels of strength and body efficiency in the Hulk.

The She-Hulk's powerful leg muscles enable her to leap straight up to a height of 600 feet, or to jump a distance of 1000 feet.

The She-Hulk's body possesses a high degree of imperviousness to injury, pain, and disease. The She-Hulk's skin is capable of withstanding extremes of temperature, from 3000o Fahrenheit to -190o F, and great stresses and impacts without puncture wounds or lacerations (she can withstand direct hits by field-artillery cannon shells). The She-Hulk's highly efficient physiology renders her immune to all terrestrial diseases.

The She-Hulk's mind has been altered by a member of the Ovoid alien race to permit her to exchange her physical characteristics and powers with the physical characteristics and powers of another being by simply focusing on a mental image of the person and willing the transfer to take place. Presumably, the She-Hulk could gain different superhuman abilities if she exchanged forms with another superhuman being. To date, the maximum effective range of this ability remains unknown. It should be noted that she rarely uses this power.
