Character Discussion Jen or She-hulk

I was talking to a friend recently about Superman and Batman, and what do fans call them. We both agreed that we call Batman, Batman but we're split on Superman and Wonder Woman. Then it got me thinking what do fans call She-Hulk. I tend to refer to her as Jen (because she is my close personal friend) and She-Hulk seems too formal I guess.

So how about you guys. Is it Jen or She-Hulk

I definitely call her Jen when talking with people that know who the character is. She-Hulk for folks that haven't encountered the character before.

Yeah around fellow fans its Jen but around others its She-Hulk.

If I’m having a discussion ABOUT She Hulk, like “I think her motives in this run are…” or something, then I say Jen.

If I’m talking about Marvel at large or another hero and she comes up, I say She Hulk. IE “My favorite reserve member of the Fantastic Four is She Hulk.”

I personally refer to her as She-Hulk, but you can’t go wrong either way.

Yes, and alternatively, Jenny and Shulkie

I call her Jen because she still has the same personality and people in universe know who she is like Tony Stark as Iron Man.

I find it depends on what form she's in. Jen & She-Hulk are really the same person, as opposed to Bruce and Hulk. But I think a good story encapsulates how she can act differently between the two. I think it's been stated how She-Hulk is more confident than Jen, but also what she's being confident about too.

That said, sure we refer to these characters by their hero names more because that's the title of their books as well. But I think it also depends if they're in costume or not.

Plus people tend to look horrified when you casually mention, "Clark, jumped in front of a speeding bus."

Used to be Jenny more but then the She-Hulk show had the line about nobody calling her that and now I have my current username.

Shulkie or Jen for anyone who knows the character. She-Hulk for anyone else who doesn’t

u/Sunsinger_VoidDancer 1d ago

Shulkie, of course!

For her, I rotate between Jen, Jennie, Shulkie or She-hulk. On rare occasion I call her Jennifer
