In any case, he was the one to discovered the group in Marvel Comics. She-Hulk has additionally lately been rumored to look in Captain America 4, rising the likelihood for the tasks to share a primary antagonist.
The Chief, aka Samuel Sterns, already has a historical past with Hulk’s blood within the MCU as publicity to Bruce Banner’s blood in an open wound was what triggered his gamma transformation virtually 15 years in the past, just like what followers noticed occur to Jan Walters in She-Hulk Episode 1.

It’s price nothing, although, that Abomination’s internal transformation could also be legit, and the Wrecking Crew might be discovering a strategy to deceive Emil Blonsky as properly.
Todd
One other contender comes with Jon Bass’ Todd, She-Hulk’s creepy Tinder date from earlier within the season who referred to her as a “specimen.” That line of dialogue alone was suspicious sufficient after a bunch had simply tried to steal Jennifer’s blood.
Todd even appeared as soon as since at GLK&H as a significant shopper of the agency, indicating he definitely has the sources to tug off a scheme equivalent to this. Nonetheless, very similar to Josh, it is powerful to think about Todd being the one working this scheme, however moderately one other with some stake in Intelligencia.
Jennifer’s seek for love has been so important to She-Hulk, ao one can solely surprise if all of the dates she has been on got here from Intelligencia.
