Yeah... but saying that probably doesn't work too well 5 seconds after she tried coming onto him.
Hmmm... she slept with her superiors in SHIELD a few issues ago, and she tried sleeping with Logan here. I wonder who she'll try to sleep with in the next issue.
It did happen during Austen's X-men run, but Slott has said it was too out of character for Jen and he's planning on retconning it.

The Hulk thing was UNDOING something like that. Slott tried to rationalize a retcon by Bendis to make the Hulk more of a horror/threat and to justify the Illuminati's part in Planet Hulk. It was very recently that Bedis made his actions have a bunch of collateral damage deaths. Stan Lee, and others throughout the Hulk's history have NOT portrayed continual collateral deaths. Although somewhat unrealistic to believe noone ever died accidentally as a result of his actions, it IS a superhero comic, where he didn't blow up in his first appearance/origin, and instead became the Hulk.
Slott wasn't pulling a retcon, he was UN-retconning.

Except for the fact Hulk has killed on-panel before so saying the Hulk has never killed anyone is a retcon. He has killed somebody for no reason other than he thought he was a friend of Banner.

She-Hulk. That's the whole gag, as She-Hulk, she has far less self-control. And lately,far less than normal, while far more than normal as Jennifer Walters lately. Her personalities have become more fragmented.

Given how many disceases Jen herself might be carrying from how often she gets around, I think Logan might actually be the perfect guy for her.

I think we shouldn´t get carried away here, Jen has slept with several men but I personally don´t consider her a slut.
From the little I´ve read during the Byrne run, she´s a woman in peace with her own sexuality, not a woman who´ll sleep with anyone who says "-Hi!"

Since the Search for She-Hulk, she's been messed in the head though. Her personalities, both as Jen and as She-Hulk, are becoming more extreme. Basically, the positive mental health she had back that, ain't so positively healthy any more.

Correct. She asked him out or something and Wolverine was like "Yeah, right, I don't want Juggernaut's sloppy seconds" and she was all "Why does everybody say we did it?" So. . . yeah.
And as far as I know, she didn't sleep with multiple SHIELD agents, just Jaspet Sitwell, THE SHIELD agent, my favorite one.
Plus, she's still married to John Jameson.

Dracon
03-23-2007, 04:40 AM
I always saw the fundamental idea behind the She-Hulk as being a woman who is not afraid. No matter what the Avengers issues made out.
Most women in society are constrained by fear of some kind. Fear of going to a rough area on their own. Fear of walking home alone in the dark if the car won't start. Fear of an abusive spouse.
And most common, fear of social disapproval. Being called a slut, or a bitch, or a ballbreaker. Most, of course, don't let that affect their lives too much, but I suspect most women have felt the fear of societys rejection at one time.
The SHe-Hulk, on the other hand, have always seemed to me to be outside that. She is huge, green, invulnerable, and super-strong. She is already stcking way out of societys norms, and she doesn't have much cause for physical fear.
To me at least, shes always been the image of a woman who is outside the constraints of fear.
Which makes the answer to the question "Why did she sleep with the Juggernaut?" -because she wanted to.
That is all she needs, and it doesn't make her a slut.
The problem is just that to a segment of the comic-reading, and probably writing, population, sex is a huge deal. Much bigger than to the average person. That is why there are reactions to things like this.

Regardless of what you think of her, Samson said it best, "It's a small community and word gets around." Not too many, if any, guys are going to keep their mouths shut about having sex with She-Hulk. It goes the same for Wolverine, just women instead of men. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that Wolverine gets around too. But, if you really want to set him off, be a redhead. Personally, I think as She-Hulk her inhibitions tend to be thrown to the wind. I think they may give her somewhat of a split personality where the Jen personality has blocked out sleeping with Juggernaut. Jen finds it reprehensible to have sex with Marko and refuses to accept that it happened. They are already dropping hints with her questioning herself and the duality of Jen and She-Hulk.

Maybe they're playing up the character's sexuality a bit to help sales.
I know a lot of people think it's great and underrated and all that, but I decided to pick up the last 3-4 issues because of the Hulk tie-in, and I don't really get what fans of it like about it. The humor is lame. The art is weak. I have nothing against the character and couldn't possibly care less who she does or doesn't sleep with, but the book just isn't very good right now. Maybe it was at one time.

Oh they so defiantly did it..... and seemed to enjoy it too.
To be fair to She-Hulk (and not Jen) their can't be many men who can satisfy her super strong, semi-invulnerable body's needs. Cain happens to be one who can. Given how sexual She-Hulk can be I can't see why its a problem that she took an opportunity when it presented itself.
It *is* a little distasteful that a lawyer slept with a client, but then the lawyer is Jen and not She-Hulk and their may be personality split issues there... perhaps She-Hulk was 'getting' at Jen the way Hulk sometimes leaves Banner in a bad position as a way of getting to him.
Given I cant remember Cain being with another woman (just long lonley nights with Black Tom....heh...heh...heh) so when a woman you wont break comes on to you can you blame him for not turning her down?
I wonder if they used protection? can you imagine the kids of Juggernaut and She-Hulk? Talk about kids with anger management issues....

I don't think that can have been an issue? They were in Canada, and Jen does not have any degree in Canadian law, so at worst she was there in an advisory capacity.

That's probably what Jen had in mind when she made her pass at Logan. Weather wise it was a bit nippy... she probably just wanted to keep him warm.
Hmmm... I wonder if Jen will be petitioning to join Omega Flight or the Alaskan branch of the Initiative. That's where she's clearly needed most.

No, she did not sleep with Juggernaut.
Jennifer can be flighty and irresponsible; she has bouts of depression and drunken foolishness; and she can and does flirt with cute guys, including fellow heroes.
But Juggernaut's not on the list. She doesn't sleep with villainous murderers. (Which means Tony Stark is now SOL, by the way.)

The funny thing is, I don't ever remember Juggernaut ever trying to murder her cousin a la the Abomination.
The first time they fought, it was because Hulk saved some civilians and got into Juggy's face.
The second time they fought, Cain simply strangled him but left him alive as he was working for the leader at the time and the leader wanted the Hulk alive.
The last time they fought, Hulk *purposely* picked a fight with Juggy while he was WarHulk to test himself for Apocalypse..
You would figure those two over the 40 years would've had more battles but only 3 fights to my knowledge.
Furthermore, when Juggy did sleep with She-Hulk, he WAS actually trying to reform and he was submitting himself to the courts so its not like she slept with old school "I'll beat your ass into the ground just because" Juggernaut.

I'm honestly suprised someone would bother retconning this to be honest. Not that I was the biggest fan of Jen sleeping with one of her clients or anything, but kind of a small point to retcon all these years later.

I always saw the fundamental idea behind the She-Hulk as being a woman who is not afraid. No matter what the Avengers issues made out.
Most women in society are constrained by fear of some kind. Fear of going to a rough area on their own. Fear of walking home alone in the dark if the car won't start. Fear of an abusive spouse.
And most common, fear of social disapproval. Being called a slut, or a bitch, or a ballbreaker. Most, of course, don't let that affect their lives too much, but I suspect most women have felt the fear of societys rejection at one time.
The SHe-Hulk, on the other hand, have always seemed to me to be outside that. She is huge, green, invulnerable, and super-strong. She is already stcking way out of societys norms, and she doesn't have much cause for physical fear.
To me at least, shes always been the image of a woman who is outside the constraints of fear.
Which makes the answer to the question "Why did she sleep with the Juggernaut?" -because she wanted to.
That is all she needs, and it doesn't make her a slut.
The problem is just that to a segment of the comic-reading, and probably writing, population, sex is a huge deal. Much bigger than to the average person. That is why there are reactions to things like this.
I don't think Jen was ever a slut. But I do see her sleeping with Juggernaut as OOC.
He's a freakin' criminal. Someone who regularly with Thor and the X-men trouble trying to kill them. He even fought Hulk, too.
It makes She-Hulk look like she has no standards *at all*.

Oh they so defiantly did it..... and seemed to enjoy it too.
Nothing wrong with that.
To be fair to She-Hulk (and not Jen) their can't be many men who can satisfy her super strong, semi-invulnerable body's needs. Cain happens to be one who can. Given how sexual She-Hulk can be I can't see why its a problem that she took an opportunity when it presented itself.
The problems aren't from Cain's super powers. It's his history. He's a merc who routinely tries to kill supers. And the police and/or army if they get in his way.
If all she wanted was sex/relationship with a meta/mutant there are *plenty* who fit this profile in the super-hero community. Hell, half the Avengers are heavy weights (re: Thor, Wonder Man, Vision etc).

Normally 2 consenting adults sleeping together is no big deal.
But Jen was her lawyer, and sleeping around with your client professionally is a no-non.
Even taking that into account I suppose it's not a huge deal. It's unprofessional on her part, but that doesn't make her a bad person or anything.

Yeah, but if Jen had a personal grudge she wouldn't choose to be his lawyer at all. She could always defer him to another lawyer if her personal feelings factored into the equation one way or the other.
So I'm assuming if she's CHOOSING to defend him (not to mention hop into bed with him), there's no bad feelings between them.

I don't think that can have been an issue? They were in Canada, and Jen does not have any degree in Canadian law, so at worst she was there in an advisory capacity.
She-Hulk/Jen was seen defending him in court. She also turns up in New Excalibur defending him in an English court.
I guess her degree is in 'International super human defence'!

The thing about Juggernaut is that he isn't dumb.
He's not like Hydro-man or Absorbing Man who don't have two brain cells between them but like he told Colossus in Spider-woman, people just assume just because he's a hulking brute, he's dumb.
Remember, this was a guy who HAS/HAD the ability to learn magic and unlike DC, where it is a racial thing, in marvel, you have to have at least average intelligence to be able to do magic.
The thing is, his powerset doesn't really lend itself to "tricks" like Graviton and Magneto.
Personally, I don't see what the big deal is. Juggy at the time WAS trying to turn the corner and Jen never struck me as one who held a grudge especially given that Thor has regularly tried to beat her cousin's ass into the ground

When did he ever learn magic? I'm not bashing, I'm genuinely curious. I seem to recall he had tapped into some of Cyttorak's power at some point and could use it, but that seems more like him drawing on a raw source of power rather than any sort of real mastery of the arts like Doc Strange does. Sort of like throwing a can of paint at a canvas instead of using a paintbrush.

Well, I'd say that one key difference is that Thor doesn't go around trashing property for monetary gain, nor threatening and brutalizing innocents. When he's gone toe to toe with the Hulk, it is because he's been trying to prevent stuff like that from happening. Juggs, on the other hand, has a long history of putting self-interest above everything else, and She-Hulk had no real reason to believe that might have changed since she wasn't around to watch him with Sammy and the X-Men. Heck, she wasn't even present when he helped save the world from the other Exemplars. (Though, admittedly, she might have heard about that.)

1. His first appearance back in the original X-men run. Its mentioned that he was at a prestigous school but since he was younger than the rest (implying he wasn't no dummy) he was picked on and once he got home, he then picked on the weaker Charles.
2. When trapped in the Crimson Cosmos, he learned how to do magic (weak magic but still, he showed the ability to learn) and to get loose, he gave up that ability.
3. Cain isn't supposed to be Stark smart or hell even Spidey level smart. He's supposed to be "average" intelligence along the lines of Bobby Drake or Johnny Storm. Hydro-man _IS_ a pure idiot and is what keeps him from being a serious threat.

Haven't they said that a lot of Juggernaut's "stupidity" was induced by the fact that Cytorrak was subtly influencing him? Basically fueling his base emotions to try to eventually take him over completely?
Marko's supposedly of at least average intelligence. And in the issue in question, was making a fairly diligent effort to reform. If Jen's supposed to have a problem with that, I guess she needs to hold a grudge against Hawkeye and Black Widow too, right? They were villains once, too, after all.
Also worth noting that Marko was often a whole lotta talk and not as much action when it comes to killing folks. Of course he's probably been retconned into a child-killer like the Hulk now, but one of the points they brought up when he was reforming was that while he was certainly violent and destructive, he was rarely murderous, much less successfully so.

Yeah but just because Black Tom was the "face" didn't make Cain the idiot. B.A. Barracus and Hannibal are an example of what I thought they were. Sure, Hannibal was the "brains" of the organization and came up with all the plans but that doesn't mean the rest of the A-team were idiots.
Beside, his whole power-set is tailor made for the X-men. He kicks their ass physically but given the well known Achilles Heel, the X-men can take him down pretty much every time (how many X-men teams didn't have a telepath on them? There's Xavier, the greys, Emma Frost and Psylocke. At least one of them is always around).

Considering Jen used to hook up with guys like Wyatt Wingfoot and Ben Grimm and passed on advances from the likes of Star Fox, who she considered an arrogant jerk, it seems odd that she'd hop in bed with an overgrown bully who's hobbies include destroying property, theft and beating up her comrades.

She´s already called every demeaning term in existence now, despite still being a virgin.
Wha? By whom?
Can you imagine what names people would have to INVENT the moment she actually starts having sex?
Probably not, but then I just learned that WW is universally reviled 5 seconds ago.

Remy Lebeau - it's his rep but i haven't seen it
Logan and Remy went to the Madripoor bar to have a chat about having Wolvie come back to the X-men, and the crash through the window to Logan's surprise birthday party. Most of the working girls who know "Patch" because the Madame Joy is one of Wolverine's oldest supporters and fellow adventurer, and a conquest. Anyways, most of the girls "know" Remy on a first name basis, and it's hinted at maybe more.
Back to the topic... Jen/She-Hulk is foot loose and fancy free in the bed room, and why does that make her bad? She is a Hulk, a "bad girl", not one of the squeemish Marvel Universe ladies.

Paladin personally gave Janet the slut label after test-driving her in '92. Dane Whitman just considered her a tease. and Pym considered her a raging _______ after calling him 'creepy' right after they slept together.
for the sake of moral equivalency, i there needs to be a list made of the loosest marvel males (counting mostly one-night stands or commitment-free relationships). my nominations....

Starfox - most famous cosmic whore in the marvel universe
Hercules - guy has no standards & likes to brag about his conquests
Remy Lebeau - it's his rep but i haven't seen it
Clay Quartermain - it takes 2 Clay
James Howlett - he fathered the marvel universe, apparently

Errr...did she do Juggie or not?
The thing with Jen is that she's down with these one night stands in certain situations that many would consider inappropriate.
A lawyer sleeping with her client is kind of a no-no. And Jen is still married, isn't she? Yet she's still sleeping around with her superior officer in SHIELD (arguably another no-no) and Wolverine.
I'm not saying it's exactly fair to say she's a slutt... but behavior like hers does kind of open her up to criticism.

I have always seen She-Hulk as a bit of a flirt. From her orginal apperances through to Slott's series She-Hulk has always had that sexy, slinky edge that Jen Walters does not have.
If Hulk is raw anger and strength vs Banner's scientific nerdity then She-Hulk is Jen's sensuality, lust and party side vs Jen's logical, lawyer trained quietness.
Evidence of flirtiness abounds, but I like this one:

She's taking a long and good look at the guy and has no problem coming up with a quip.

That is unclear--it hasn't been established yet whether they have ended their marriage or not. But at the very least, they seem to be separated...and considering that the marriage was the result of mental tampering, it really isn't valid in the first place. She may be married on paper, but it wasn't something she did of her own free will--and she immediately asked for an annulment once she learned that.

Jamie Madrox - who knew that two-timing was a mutant power
And given that some of Jamie's dupes have been shown as gay or bi, he has quite a range of potential casual lovers...
Remy Lebeau - it's his rep but i haven't seen it
Wasn't there something about him being in a sex tape during his last solo book?
Clay Quartermain - it takes 2 Clay
Has Clay been in other one night stands? I'm not sure if it is fair to include him among the likes of Starfox, Tony Stark and Paladin after sleeping with Shulkie one time.
Johnny Storm - it's what separates him from the other 3
And there is still the question of what happened between him and Carol Danvers during that weekend in Vegas....
Another candidate:
Genis-Vell - apparently he took after his Uncle Eros; he had a dual-gendered aline f**k buddy, he seduced the mistress of a Kree general; he had a one-night stand with a cosmic entity, and during his time with the T-Bolts he screwed around with Joystick and tried to get into Songbird's pants.

I guess Austin was trying to "empower" her however, it made her look bad. Lawyers can't/don't (or shouldn't) sleep with clients. Granted she may not have a grudge however, a person can have no grudges and not sleep with with someone. Some folks say that She Hulk was not a lawyer. This is not correct, She Hulk has said she was an atterny and has been called a lawyer in the past. She-Hulk even goes by the name Jen.
Instead of making her look empowered it made her look unprofessional. It makes it looks like women are willing to throw away a career that they worked hard for in order to have a good roll in the hay.

Maybe in the 1950's, but I'd like to think we've progressed a little bit since then. If the word should be used at all, it should be reserved for someone who's sexual behavior is particularly unscrupulous, which doesn't really apply to She-Hulk's trademark flirtiness/promiscuity. Sleeping with the Juggernaut, a villain AND a client, shows a conspicuous lack of judgement on Jen's part, if nothing else, however.

Although She-Hulk and John rushed into marriage due in part to Starfox's love zap on her, John's actually in love with her and they had been living together for months before that. Despite its circumstances, the marriage is legally valid until it can be annulled and there's no indication that's happened yet. We also don't know the full circumstances behind the separation, who left whom and what promises were made or broken. The fact that the story hasn't revealed this means it's dangerous to jump to conclusions about it. Perhaps most telling is that we don't know yet how Jen Walters feels about the situation.

I do think that John Jamerson/separation issue was also gotten out of the way with a casual 'he's staying in the stars...' line because having someone as powerful as Stargod around during Civil War esp. when Jen might be in danger would kinda stop Civil War happening.
I do hope John stays as Stargod (cos hes cool like that) and him and Jen can sort stuff out amicably.

Yep, I'm aware of that. But John being in love with her doesn't mean Jen feels the same way. Jen appeared to be on the verge of breaking up with him when Starfox interfered.
Despite its circumstances, the marriage is legally valid until it can be annulled and there's no indication that's happened yet.
The legality of it can be challenged on the basis that Jen did not marry him of her own free will. But I wasn't talking about legal validity so much as moral and emotional validity--Jen did not want to marry John, and does not consider herself to be married. In her heart, it is not a real marriage.
We also don't know the full circumstances behind the separation, who left whom and what promises were made or broken. The fact that the story hasn't revealed this means it's dangerous to jump to conclusions about it.
Granted. But what we do know is a) Jen married John because Starfox's powers had messed with her mind. b) When she learned this, she asked for an annulment. c) They are currently separated, and she is not sorry about that. d) She has gone back to her maiden name. e) She is sleeping with other men again.
Under those circumstances, I think we can reasonably conclude that Jen does not consider herself to be a married woman.

I certainly agree that the unusual circumstances surrounding the marriage means that it cannot be given the same weight as a normal one. But the history of the relationship of both characters leading up to the marriage means that it cannot be dismissed either. Its validity seems to rest somewhere in between.
Jen didn't do a single one of the things you say she did. She-Hulk did all that. As we're seeing in the current arc, the differences between Jen and She-Hulk have been getting stronger. She has different values and different actions in her human and hulk forms, so much so that she's started arguing with herself about them. Even before the current series we've seen that she can be simultaneously in love with two different people as She-Hulk and as Jen Walters. So while She-Hulk's actions seem to suggest that she feels the marriage is over, we don't know yet if Jen Walters thinks that's the case. The argument we saw certainly suggests that Jen is unhappy with She-Hulk's current behavior.
When in doubt: Skrull. In fact, they were both Skrulls! As for how quickly they jumped into bed together... well, if you're completely surrounded by hideous inflexible aliens for months or years at a time, then you'd jump at your only chance to get some too. It was just two Skrulls getting it on, nothing else.

I'm pretty sure that slut is a term coined by women who have an inferiority complex. Really, it stems from that unique combination of fear an dlonging known as jealousy and is exacerbated by the human tenancy towards serial monogamy. "Slut" is synonymous with "homewrecker", the callous and amoral woman who "steals" men from 'Decent God-fearing Christian' (henceforth known as DGC) women and then throws them away after the divorce to move on to the next conquest.
Of course, the DGCs don't see that this is an inherent flaw with pure monogamy due to the possessory nature of the relationship. It can easily be solved with the judicious application of Free Love accompanied with polyamory and polygamy.
Yeah, I'm a stinkin' hippie.
As such, It seems to me that JJ should accept her little trysts with a caveat that he can watch any lesbian action that might occur, and he can have some trysts if his own if he wants and let her watch any hot guy-on-guy stuff that he might be involved in.
A man's fears of a promiscuous mate primarily concern false paternity, which is quite groundless in today's world of cheap effective contraception and easy DNA tests. The other fears, those related to serial monogy, are just as easily aliviated by accepting Free Love.

We do, don't get me wrong. But it's more along the lines of a man calling another man a fag. For some reason it's supposed to take away from one's womanhood. You're not a lady because you're sexually active. Or sleeping with their man.
I didn't know they were planning to retcon the Juggernaut thing, but while it doesn't bother me that much, I hope they do. I have no problem with a female character, even one who stars in her own series, being sexually active or not having a steady relationship. I *am* bothered by the idea of a superhero sleeping with a supervillain. It's like a cop sleeping (knowingly) with a criminal. Now, I know they were trying to reform Jugs for a while there, and this may have happened at the time, but I expected Jen to have better taste in men. In fact, didn't they have her sleep with Blizzard too!? Is that all it takes to get her- just be a hero or a reformed villain? Tell me that doesn't make her look like a slut. At the least have her stablish some sort of relationship with her dates first. Sheesh.

Juggernaut was already reformed by the time she was sleeping with him... that's why she bothered defending him in court in the first place.
I had issues with her sleeping with Juggy too... but he didn't sleep with a villian. She slept with a guy that had legitimately changed for the better.

Slott has written She-Hulk as happy to sleep around too- anyone remember vol1 where she was having parties and different partners every night?

No, she did not sleep with Juggernaut.
Jennifer can be flighty and irresponsible; she has bouts of depression and drunken foolishness; and she can and does flirt with cute guys, including fellow heroes.
But Juggernaut's not on the list. She doesn't sleep with villainous murderers. (Which means Tony Stark is now SOL, by the way.)
Sooo..why the hell were they naked in bed together????

I could be wrong but I am fairly sure that the 'incident' between She-Hulk and Juggernaut happened before she and John Jamerson where an item and thus she was cheating on no-one.
Slott has written She-Hulk as happy to sleep around too- anyone remember vol1 where she was having parties and different partners every night? She was turned down by an underwear model as 'too shallow'! So when a 10' tall reformed powerhouse was available do you think She-Hulk (not Jen) would say no??
See that's the part that irks me personally. Because what it boils down to is Chuck Austen's own take on 'man of steel - woman of kleenex', but less funny and just unnecessary.
Does it get my knickers in a twist? No feck that - but in answer to the thread, if Slott were to retcon this I can't say I'd mind.

I don't even think it was so much that. It was Marvel trying to redeem Cain for... what, the third time by that point? Shulkie was just a tool to show the redemption. Plain and simple. Ostrander pulled a similar bit with her in Heroes for Hire, although that just ended with a date I believe, not in on-panel post-coital pillow talk.

A lot of us think its a big joke though. Hell scroll thru and many of us are wondering what the big deal is since it happened.....4 years ago , in a issue of Uncanny X-Men that most forgot. Its pretty funny that of all the men She-Hulk nailed Cain Marko gave her the comic book version of the clamp of some kind. :p
To add I actually plan on picking up #21 of She-Hulk to see how this goes.

it's not like Norman "I effed yo girl parker" osborn's level of sexual activity
If writers care this much why don't they retcon true crimes against comic characters like what happened to Gwen in Sins Past ? Thats a crime right there Dan. How about you walk into Joe Quesada's office and go "Ok , this ruined an important building block with Spiderman's history. Lets go ahead and retcon this outta existance and say it never happened ok and explain it away ."
Of course I can't wait til She-Hulk nails Norman Osborn. I will crap my pants laughing when the Goblin Gooker gets another babe. I'm thinking Norman and Clint Barton are running a contest on how many chicks they can get. :evilsmile

For Devil's Advocate sake, let's say it actually matters that She-Hulk slept with Juggernaut. If she accepts it, it may make her sexually free (or for those of us who are uptight about sex, a slut). but it is part of her foot-loose fancy free lifestyle we love about Shulkie.
However, if she is denying it, then Jen, like Bruce, may have trauma from her own in regards to sex (something we see more and more today in reality) and She-Hulk may be her way of dealing with it. It's not Jen Walters someone is sleeping with, it's She-Hulk, and it's her mental defense mechanism. We all know she did the beast with two backs with Cain Marko.
If it is, then this could be the initial warning signs that Jen is having problems like her cousin that may lead to further complications within herself in the future.

I don't think you guys are giving Dan enough credit here. He's been dancing around the subject for about two years now. If he wanted to retcon it, he would've done it already. To be honest, I think he's just kidding around with the way certain creators use "protective continuity". PAD did the same thing in his hulk run.

No, she did not sleep with Blizzard. She drank with him until he passed out, as a non-violent way of capturing him. (I kinda doubt Blizzard would even be interested--during his time in the T-Bolts, Blizzard was kinda putting out a gay vibe...)
I could be wrong but I am fairly sure that the 'incident' between She-Hulk and Juggernaut happened before she and John Jamerson where an item and thus she was cheating on no-one.
You are correct--it happened quite a while before Jen and John became a couple.

Jen didn't do a single one of the things you say she did. She-Hulk did all that. As we're seeing in the current arc, the differences between Jen and She-Hulk have been getting stronger.
And has been re-stated several times in the current arc, Jen and She-Hulk are the same person. Yes, she will behave differently in She-Hulk form (with her inhibitions removed, etc), but they are still the same person at the core.

But the name equivalence only seems to go one way. Nobody uses She-Hulk when they're talking about actions Jen takes when she's in human form. Jen is treated as a synonym for She-Hulk, but She-Hulk is not treated as a synonym for Jen. I used to call her Jen in both her forms, but I no longer think that's an accurate way to describe her actions or emotions.

Why would they even bother with a retcon of this ? It just happened in 1 issue 4 years ago .
Well, how many times did Hank hit Jan (non-Ultimate version)?
Once.
What does EVERY writer drag out at some time? Hank being a wife-beater. Hell, I wonder how many people reading the comics now even READ the story where it happened, or understand the context.
Yes, it happened once, years ago -- but that doesn't matter. If other writers decide to run with it, they will.
I'm not saying you don't have a point, but in the world of comics, depending on the agenda of the writer(s) in question, once can be damaging enough.
Take it and run.
No, she did not sleep with Blizzard. She drank with him until he passed out, as a non-violent way of capturing him. (I kinda doubt Blizzard would even be interested--during his time in the T-Bolts, Blizzard was kinda putting out a gay vibe...)
Thanks for correcting that, I wasn't clear on the matter.
Still, the point is, none of us writes She-hulk, so to us, it isn't a big deal. But, if I were writing her, I can see why it would be worrysome: Jen's character has been built up from the musclehead who hit on every male hero near her she used to be in Avengers, to an intelligent, independent woman. It really doesn't make much sense that, in her current personality, she would go, "Oh, Juggernaut, you say you're not a villain anymore? That's good enough for me, let's boogie. Umpardoned criminal record? Who cares?" That kind of thing CAN come back to haunt your career, especially when you're a lawyer.
Oh, and She-hulk DID have multiple personalities, and they HAVE come back on occasion. Just the fact she's normal now doesn't mean they won't pop up again. (And for the record, in the original Savage She-Hulk series, she DID sleep with one guy -that beach bum pal of hers- as Shulk but then told him it wasn't her idea as Jen. So yeah, if Slott really wants to retcon it, it could easily be said that she lost control again.)

Dude theres a thread on the community board about a teacher tossing sh-t at students. You think beyond me stopping in to make a joke I'd care ? If I care I'd stop and make long thoughtful posts on why this should or shouldn't be retconned. But I do not care.
