Why Does She-Hulk not have big muscles?
"The Hulk has huge bulging muscles. Why does She-Hulk only look like a talling average woman with green skin? Would it not make since for the She-Hulk to have huge bulging muscles the pop out all over?"Because she is a woman. Women don't get that ridiculously big, even on steroids.

I like toned, athletic women, but I don't find women with bulging muscles to be attractive. Some artists do depict She-Hulk with bulging muscles, and I don't like those versions of her.

See, the ordeal was retconned and it turned out that counterparts from another universe, whom have no powers, sometimes sneak over into our reality where they get the powers of their counterparts and have some fun before going back to their reality.

"Because that would ruin Marvel's chance at more sex appeal of course."I think her berserk form in Disassembled ruined that.

"She-Hulk has slept with everyone, or aleast tries too. I know Wolvie turned her down"She hasn't slept with everyone and she doesn't try to either.She has turned people down herself..even broke the 4th wall to do so.
"SUNMAN said:okay I was exaggerrating. But I would say she is one of the top 10 most premiscuous heroes of the marvel universe. Off the top of my head I can think of 6 maybe 7 heroes she has banged. And I know she has slept with normal dudes as well."She-Hulk has slept with everyone, or aleast tries too.

"JuggernautJuggernaut has sex with an alternate reality She-Hulk
Luke Cage
Wyatt Wingfoot
Manwolf
Hawkeye in What If?IronmanHerculesThan there are at least 3 or 4 random guys I recall she has banged. She-Hulk is one of the most promiscuous, well known heroines in marvel. Not saying it is a bad thing, just saying"
She Hulk's emotional factor that triggers her transformation is fear, as opposed to Bruce's factor which is anger. As a result, Shulkie normally reaches a cap. Once she's strong enough, her self-confidence takes over and she no longer feels fear. There have been occasions where she's passed that cap, namely the Red Mist and Disassembled storylines.
not to mention her body contains estrogen, which likely levels out her form, and maybe increases with transformation
i think she should still have bulging muscles i know it doesnt look attractive at all but she hulk is not supposed to look attractive i mean its not like hulk is really handsome.
Basically She hulk is just more of what Jennifer Walters has already got in the Bod department.
All of these scientific answers are complete B.S. There is no scientific reason She Hulk has no muscle. None. Zero.
She Hulk has no muscle because Marvel doesn't MAKE muscular women. Period. No matter how much Strength the female is supposed to have, they will never draw them REGULARLY with larger than 14" biceps and maybe some abs. Make yourself a list of Superstrength females. Now do a muscle check. EXACTLY.
There is ONE exception. And that is Titania, a bad guy. Good guy females do not get muscle. There is a sexist attitude that muscles are a man only trait. I stand by my long time belief that if you were to take a picture of She Hulk that was not wearing a uniform, copy it and save it as a Black and White image, no one would ever be able to tell you which Marvel character you were showing them. Its a lazy tactic where any picture of Jennifer GREEN is She-Hulk.
Characters like Bishop and Cyclops are drawn with more more muscle, despite having no special strength powers, then female characters listed as capable of lifting double digits in terms of tonnage. Its sexist, pure and simple to sell comics. And I really don't think its too much to ask for 5 - 10 females to be drawn accurately with upper limit bodybuilder style muscles when the other 3,000 Marvel women are drawn like they came out of MAXIM magazine.
