She-Hulk is one of the most beloved Marvel characters that not every fan knows about. Still, virtually every Marvel fan understands how the New York attorney Jennifer Walters becomes the green monster.
In Marvel Comics, Jennifer Walters is shot by a mobster and significantly injured. Walter’s blood mutates with the gamma-radiated blood of her cousin Bruce Banner, causing her to become She-Hulk.
Now, for the upcoming She-Hulk streaming series, Marvel Studios has changed the backstory of how Walters came about her extraordinary powers:
She-Hulk’s origin will be different from the comics.
It looks like Jennifer & Bruce get in a car accident & she’s exposed to his blood & that’s what turns her into She-Hulk.

Well, there you have it. As it happens in the Marvel comics, Jennifer Walters no longer has the blood of Bruce Banner/Hulk infused into her bloodstream over a life-saving medical operation.
In a near-deadly car accident, the blood of Jennifer Walters and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) become infused, causing the New York attorney to become She-Hulk:
