She-Hulk, aka Jennifer Walters, has burst her way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and with her comes a roster of villains as flashy, offbeat, and volatile as she is. Where Bruce Banner’s solo adventures always left somewhat in the shadow of legal red tape, Jen’s universe opened wide to a combination of courtroom drama, meta humor, and super-powered battles in equal proportions.
From the comics to TV, these eight are some of the most memorable foes She-Hulk has ever had to deal with—some funny, some frightening, all completely one-of-a-kind.
8. Abominatrix – The Gamma-Powered Nemesis
Florence Sharples didn’t just have a bad day—she went gamma monster and became the Abominatrix. She’s essentially She-Hulk’s equivalent of Abomination: a warped opposite, but with an even greater fury. As comic readers are aware, Abominatrix isn’t only physically strong; she’s one of Jen’s more lethal opponents. Every battle between them is ugly, loud, and impossible to look away from.
7. Volcana – The Loyal Powerhouse
Marsha Rosenberg, aka Volcana, was turned into a lava-expelling force to be reckoned with by Doctor Doom’s experiments. She has strong devotion to her co-villain Titania, and the two tend to team up to take down She-Hulk. Although the MCU has introduced Titania only thus far, comic book readers recognize that when Volcana appears on the scene, things are going to heat up real fast—literally.
6. HulkKing (Todd Phelps) – The Internet Troll Turned Big Bad
Not all bad guys have laser eyes or battle armor. Some lurk behind pseudonymous usernames. Todd Phelps, also known as HulkKing in the She-Hulk: Attorney at Law series, is the mastermind of Intelligencia. This malevolent crew aims to humiliate Jen and acquire her powers. He embodies something horrifyingly real: the online misogyny and hate that many women in the public eye encounter. His methods are psychological, but they pack the same punch.
5. Leap-Frog – The Hopeless Hop-Head
Eugene Patilio, aka Leap-Frog, is one of those characters you almost feel bad for. He means well, but his goofy frog suit and complete lack of skill make him more punchline than powerhouse. His appearance in the MCU was a delightful nod to Marvel’s weirder corners—and proof that even the most offbeat characters can still cause a little chaos.
4. Captain Rectitude – The Purity Crusader
The American Purity Foundation repurposed Bob Jones into Captain Rectitude, a self-righteous, fire-breathing strict enforcer of “morality.” He’s equally as powerful as She-Hulk and has a zero-tolerance policy for anything that he considers indecent. That makes him a volatile combination of power and extremism. His holier-than-thou attitude too often requires Jen to be resourceful—reminding us that brains can beat brawn.
3. Doctor Bong – The Fourth Wall Breaker
Yes, Dr. Bong. With a literal bell for a head, Lester Verde is one of She-Hulk’s strangest opponents ever. Teleporting from TV channel to TV channel and able to control the media, he is a singularly meta bad guy. In one comic, Jen even has to shatter the comic book itself to put an end to him. He’s ridiculous, yes, but inescapable—and ideally positioned in She-Hulk’s reality-bending weirdness.
2. Ruby Thursday – The Headwoman with a Twist
Ruby Thursday, a member of the Headmen villain team, is one of the first female villains Jen ever battled. Her red, shape-shifting orb-like head provides her with some creepy abilities, including tentacle blows and strange cloning experiments. She even attempted to clone She-Hulk’s body—and Spider-Man’s. She’s not as widely recognized nowadays, but Ruby opened doors for more complex and menacing women in the Marvel rogue galleries.
1. Unum – The Ultimate Female Hero Killer
Unum is not only a danger to She-Hulk—she’s a danger to all women in the Marvel Universe. Born from the cosmic force Eternity, Unum has a goal of killing all female superheroes. Standing tall over her foes and wielding a massive battle-axe, she’s a stitched-together assassin created from Marvel’s most villainous parts. Her confrontations with Jen are aportions, tearful, and larger than life—putting her in the running for the most formidable and symbolic She-Hulk villains ever.
She-Hulk’s rogues gallery is as vibrant and unstable as her narratives. From poisonous trolls and zealot lawyers to lava monsters and dimension-hopping freaks, Jen Walters must confront foes that prove stronger than she is—not just in strength, but in wit, in wit, and an unbreakable sense of self. Either she’s smashing through drama in the courtroom or shattering the fourth wall. She-Hulk demonstrates that an exceptional hero is measured by the villains they oppose.
