Warning! Spoilers ahead for Spider-Man vs. the Sinister Sixteen #1!One powerfulMarvelhero just confirmed that there’s a secret bonus to gamma and it’s a real revelation to how her powers operate. Just when fans thought they knew everything about the mysterious radiation thatgives power to Marvel’s Hulks, one of them drops a surprising twist about how else gamma affected her body for the better.
InSpider-Man vs. the Sinister Sixteen #1by J. Michael Straczynski and Phil Noto, a restaurant owner invites several heroes and villains out for a night of dining in the name of peace. However, that’s just a cover as the owner is actually banking on them all fighting so he can collect the insurance money once his restaurant is destroyed.
And yes, the inevitable happens and the heroes and villains end up fighting. After inspecting the damage, the owner slips away to file a reportwhile She-Hulk speaks tothe owner’s wife. She mentions that in addition to strength and healing,She-Hulk was also blessed with enhanced hearing, and she heard everything about the scheme.
She-Hulk Confirms She Has Super-Powerful Hearing
Jennifer Walters Has Hearing That Rivals Daredevil
Thanks to a blood transfusion from her cousin, Bruce Banner, Jennifer Walters was given all the blessings (as well as curses) that come with gamma radiation in the Marvel Universe. She’s stronger, faster, and more durable than most other people. And unlike her cousin, She-Hulk has much greater control over her more powerful form.
Seasoned Hulk fans know that with gamma, one should expect the unexpected. While few fans, if any, would think about Walters having more sensitive hearing, it makes sense. After all, pretty much every other part of her was enhanced thanks to the gamma exposure. Whynot the parts of her ears?
She-Hulk’s Extra Power Can Come in Hand When She Needs It
Strength is Good, But Great Hearing is a Huge Asset
Sure, when it comes to being a Hulk, having extra strength is awesome. But there are situations that don’t always require extra muscle.She-Hulk’s impressive strength was good for the brawlhere, but it was that keen sense of hearing that made it so that the restaurant owner’s scheme would come to light.
Gamma-powered strength is nothing to sneeze at, but being a brute isn’t always the best way to solve things. For She-Hulk, paying close attention and using her enhanced ears is a much better way of achieving justice. It’s unconventional for her, sure, but it’s a good side power to theMarvelhero’s other amazing abilities.
