Our take on the new ultimate She-Hulk
Similar to its mainstream counterpart, Lejori possesses super strength and enhanced durability. In addition, she is also similar to this universe’s Bruce Banner due to her being intelligent in her gamma mutated form. While her friends and family are sickened by the gamma radiation, Lejori stands out as an outlier due to her becoming stronger as a result of it. These abilities, her intelligence, and her rage against Banner make her a powerful ally for the Ultimates.
Lejori Joena Zakaria is a radical reinvention of She-Hulk for the Ultimate Universe, continuing the trend of the altered history of the Ultimate Universe with dramatic ramifications for everyone within. Her backstory and character add to the world building of this universe and serve to further emphasize the necessity of the Ultimates’ mission to fix the world. When she joins the Ultimates and helps in their fight against the Maker’s Council, there is no doubt that she will be a rich addition to the team’s lineup.
