Hulkette: Marvel's Newest Teen Hero Officially Joins the Hulk Family!

Get ready, Marvel fans! Hulkette is officially here! After appearing on a She-Hulk variant cover, she's making her in-universe debut.  This awesome new addition to the ever-growing Hulk family comes just before the relaunch of New Champions in January 2025. This awesome character appears across many different storylines!   Her arrival is absolutely HUGE; bringing some exciting changes for Marvel's future!

We're talking about another teenage superhero making her mark on Earth-616. She was initially part of Marvel's variant covers showcasing potential sidekicks for iconic heroes (think a younger generation that follows older heroes) and really emphasized that element:  a new younger generation joining the Marvel universe, and that initial spotlight appears in Mark Bagley's variant cover for Spider-Boy #13 (written by Dan Slott, art by Paco Medina). It marks Hulkette's official entry; she joins forces with the titular hero Spider-Boy for a new storyline which involves several other major characters like Spider-Girl and Daredevil.

Sporting bright orange hair and that classic green skin (a cool twist on the familiar Hulk look!), Hulkette is going to bring serious changes to Earth-616! This brand new Hulk variant hides a mysterious origin story; yet a key storyline already made clear:  Slott stated  “You’ll get a chance to meet Hulkette and her trainer, Enormo, as they get drawn into the action packed events of Spider-Boy and Spider-Girl's overseas adventure in Madripoor! We'll learn more about Hulkette and her powers as she faces off against Spider-Boy and Daredevil. There's a big surprise in store for Marvel fans when we finally drop the secret of her origins... but for now, if you want to see this pint-sized powerhouse throw her first punches on the page, this is the issue where her journey begins.”

The mystery surrounding her origins definitely has that kind of hook, leaving those audience members wanting far more and curious regarding those events! Even these early clues alone demonstrate great possibilities, including other characters already set in the story – Spider-Boy and Daredevil! Her first appearances are going to bring exciting changes for various already-popular series!

Hulkette’s arrival is key!   Her comic story officially starts in Spider-Boy. This new character is actually part of Marvel's newest team-up; those future New Champions (debuting January 2025)! Her earlier appearance within Timeless #1 provided a glimpse at that greater picture which added even more suspense to already excited readers! She will also feature heavily and participate in many upcoming plot lines!

Several members of that New Champions roster made their debut within other spider-hero storylines; adding even greater context for all these various characters.  She was saved from Hydra brainwashing (a classic plot for various spider heroes) by Spider-Woman – another exciting hint that points toward the direction the writers are taking; this shows an early setup, suggesting that perhaps many of the later storyline points will already have already had prior groundwork already planned, suggesting significant future involvement of even other spider heroes!

This demonstrates her unique origins and showcases those possible connections hinted at through her comic appearances!

It will be extremely fun to watch the confrontation and storylines unfold; this unique angle gives those readers more options and greater levels of engagement because they know more about She-Hulk’s overall story than other less prominent characters! Her possible ties with Jennifer Walters promise some totally exciting moments, further hinting toward other characters involved and already established.
