It was always guaranteed that Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner would appear in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, and he certainly did not disappoint. Besides the fact that Banner is close to Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) due to the fact that they are both cousins, he also played a significant role in the transformation of Walters into the She-Hulk. She-Hulk transformation is a fascinating aspect of her character, and the series has done a great job of exploring it further.
A car crash in the first episode shows Jennifer turning into the She-Hulk transformation because Bruce’s gamma-irradiated blood seeped into Jennifer’s wounds and transformed her into the She-Hulk. However, the rest of the episode reveals the steps Bruce took to combine his two separate personalities into one entire Hulk in the first place.
The Hulk is forever haunted by Bruce Banner’s inability to repair the damage he caused to the Marvel Cinematic Universe throughout its existence. In The Incredible Hulk, he was constantly on the run. During Avengers: Age of Ultron, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) took control of his mind, leading to a fight with Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), nearly destroying half of South Africa.
In addition to all that, during the events of Thor: Ragnarok, he spent two years in his Hulk form, which worsened matters. Ultimately, it was revealed in Avengers: Endgame that Banner was able to merge his psyche with that of the Hulk to retain both the intellect and strength inherent in the Hulk.

According to the She-Hulk pilot, Banner constructed a laboratory in Mexico with Tony Stark’s help during the five-year gap between Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame during the time between Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. As a result of the experience, he could merge his two personalities into one character.
In addition, it is here that he takes Jennifer to help her control her powers after her first Hulk-out, just as he did after he had his first Hulk-out. Ultimately, this ends up being a moot point. Er has much more control over her Hulk strength than she ever has, even having the ability to change between her two forms as she sees fit.
There are signs that she might be even more potent than Banner after she tries to prevent her from leaving the island, and he responds by hitting her halfway across the island when she tries to stop her!
There is even a plot development related to The Legend of the Ten Rings that the pilot explains. In the mid-credits scene of that film, Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) and Wong (Benedict Wong) attend a meeting with Banner to discuss Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) and his father Wenwu (Tony Leung)’s mythological origins relating to the Ten Rings that they wear.
It should be noted that Banner was not in his Hulk form but was human. He wore a device that had a strange green light on it, almost like a beacon. It is explained in the She-Hulk pilot episode that the device allows him to revert to human form in addition to healing the damage that he sustained to his arm as a result of wielding the Infinity Stones in Endgame.
It was during the car crash that Banner’s device broke, which caused him to revert to his “Smart Hulk” form, even though he needed Jennifer’s blood to heal a broken arm he sustained after snapping his fingers while using the Infinity Gauntlet. Can you please tell me what caused the car crash and what the cause was?
There is also a connection between that and Banner’s time on Sakaar during Ragnarok, as the ship is highly similar in design to the one that Banner and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) used to escape the planet during Ragnarok. For fans of the Hulk, this may suggest that the Planet Hulk storyline may one day be adapted into a feature film.
As a result of that storyline, the Incredible Hulk was selected to compete in gladiatorial matches on Sakaar and eventually became the planet’s prophesied savior. A potential Planet Hulk movie or TV series may well be able to use the gladiatorial elements in Ragnarok, which has set the stage for a potentially thrilling and action-packed storyline. There is no doubt that the jade giant has had a significant influence on the MCU throughout the years, as evidenced by Banner’s appearance in She-Hulk transformation and the return of the Abomination (Tim Roth).
