The second episode of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, "Superhuman Law," has arrived and there were a number of very big developments. While most of the first episode was flashbacks to how Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) became the She-Hulk, the latest episode filled us in quite a bit on her life.
Warning: The following contains spoilers for She-Hulk episode 2. If you haven't watched "Superhuman Law" yet, turn away now.
While the world seems enamored with She-Hulk, it costs Jen her job. Thankfully, opportunity comes calling when law firm GLK&H offers her a new position--acting as a lawyer in cases involving people with superhuman powers. That's right, She-Hulk lost her job, but also got her a better one.
This episode also brings a familiar face back to the MCU in Tim Roth's Abomination, while introducing Jen's family, as well as her new coworkers. Still, while the last episode seemingly teed up Titania as a villain for the first season of the series, she was nowhere to be seen in the second episode (outside of footage on a news broadcast). So there were no new developments on that front.
There were, however, plenty of Easter eggs and MCU references to track in the episode. Check out the best 9 we found below, and make sure to sound off in the comments with your favorites.
1. A hero is born
Well, now we know how She-Hulk got her name, because it sounded better than "Chick Hulk" on the morning news. And yes, Jen hates it.
2. Important questions
Leave it to the lawyer to wonder if the Avengers offer healthcare, maternity leave, or even a paycheck. Sure, from what we've seen they are all living pretty well. How formal are their positions, though?
3. Lots of references
While looking for a new job online, the site Jen visits also includes some pretty interesting references to other Marvel films. The first, which reads, "Man with metal claws fights in bar," is obviously a nod to Wolverine. Then, the headline under that reads, "Why is there a giant statue of a man sticking out of the ocean?" This, of course, is in reference to the end of Eternals.
Most importantly, though, this image reveals that Iron Man has his own line of shoes in the MCU. Sure, Tony Stark may be dead, but you can buy your own pair of Iron Man Threes. We wonder if they sell better than Jordans.
4. Ched
In the first episode of She-Hulk, Jen and Bruce refer to another genius in the family, named Ched. Now, in the second episode we meet him and it's clear they were being sarcastic. Still, while he may not be a genius, he was just made manager of the local Best Buy. Congratulations, Ched! What is Ched short for, anyway?
5. The superhero law division
Jennifer is hired at GLK&H to work in a division dealing with cases brought against people with superpowers. This particular bit is pulled right from the comics; however, it has been remixed a bit. In the comics, GLK&H doesn't want her practicing law as She-Hulk, however, she has to on the show.
6. Damage Control
The Department of Damage Control is a SHIELD-affiliated government organization tasked with essentially cleaning up SHIELD--and Avengers--messes. The group has been mentioned as far back as Iron Man, with its first appearance coming in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Now, DODC is housing a rather familiar villain.
7. Abomination
Tim Roth first played Abomination back in 2008's The Incredible Hulk. Since then, he's been mentioned a number of times before making a cameo appearance in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Now, he's back at Jen's first client at GLK&H.
8. Hulk's space vacation
Hulk admits he won't be coming to LA anytime soon, and it turns out that's because he's on a Sakarian ship flying through space. Given that a Sakarian ship appeared last week and caused the accident that transformed Jen, it's safe to say Hulk is likely heading back to that planet--a place he hasn't been since the events of Thor: Ragnarok.
9. Oh, that sucks
After agreeing to take on Abomination's case, Jen learns that he actually broke out of prison and ended up in an underground fight club. Somehow, these folks got their hands on the footage of the fight between Abomination and Wong (Benedict Wong) in Macau from Shang-Chi.
