Description A while back, I did a picture that my patrons had the ability to see first, and they helped me decide on working on this.

So I made a pic with my She-Hulk / Hulk expy from my "BKU2" universe that is more super hero heavy rather than the way the main universe pulls from several different inspirations. It's what I'm kinda working on here and there, and I'm sure you've seen some of these characters from this universe appear in commissions here n there not done by me.

So...here's the skinny on Jenna.

Known Metahuman Powers:


As Jenna – In her normal state, Jenna has the durability, strength, and stamina of a woman who is fit and keeps up with somewhat regular exercise. Although as of late, that has been increasing greatly as she’s gotten far more serious about it.


As Hardcase -

Jenna’s body goes through a metamorphasis that puts muscular mass, bone density, extremely bullet resistant skin and other unique traits to her person as she transforms. While her transformation can be triggered by anger, it can be triggered through excitement, fear, and other emotions or feelings that get her endorphins going. These are some of the abilities she gains.

Superhuman Strength :

Jenna’s body gains an immense level of superhuman strength that nears an incalculable range. Her strength while immense, can increase with added muscular mass given her emotional state, or her focus. She’s been capable of incredible acts of strength, and her most noteworthy one in the superhuman community was managing to press the weight of a small moon over her head while preventing a device from crashing into the Earth. It did require a substantive amount of frustration, although it’s been rumored she could be capable of more.


Jenna does get stronger with her emotions, as her body does try to compensate for the added strength through increasing her bone density, and mass through her body's strengthening itself. While she's capable of said expansion in a calmer state, it's not as effective as it is when she's in a far more emotional state. While she's not been pushed to a limit yet, the rate her strength increases is quite staggering, and it's currently unknown how powerful she could be under the RIGHT motivation.

It is due to this her leg strength allows her a massive leaping ability, and a form of superhuman speed through her running speed.

Regenerative Healing :

Jenna’s body does have a high resistance to injury. In the rare event that she is injured, she can recover quickly from injuries that cause damage via blood loss, or her tissues at a very fast rate. It is unknown if it allows her to recover from regenerating missing limbs or organs, as she hasn’t been in that situation before, but it’s believed to be so. It’s also due to this, Jenna is immune to all drugs, toxins, and terrestrial diseases.

Enhanced Durability :

Jenna's muscle and bone density allow her to be able to take a high to severe amount of physical trauma and be able to walk away from it. She has taken blows from some that are considered in the megaton to even teraton range of force without dying from the force of their blows. She is resilient to immense levels of pressure, temperatures, falls from great heights and energy blasts without sustaining injury.




Other Remarkable Abilities:


As Jenna –

Law Skills :

Jenna is a very versatile and experienced Lawyer, very talented and good with most forms of law. Due to her skills, she has also helped set up certain precedents that are known in the superhuman law community.

Hand to Hand :

Jenna has been trained formally in kickboxing and very limited Judo. While she has considered taking up Jiu Jutsu, she’s somewhat proud of her barely past white belt Ju-Jitsu.


As Hardcase -

Unique Physiology :

Jenna's unique metahuman physiology allows her to function with limited air supply for a slightly longer period of time compared to normal people. Her body's durability allows her to withstand great pressures from gravity, undersea, or a space vacuum with unassisted suits. She also has remarkable stamina, allowing her to operate at peak efficiency for at least 72 hours before fatigue will begin to affect her.


Radiation Absorption :

In her Hardcase form, Jenna’s capable of absorbing radiation to an extent, increasing her power levels slightly. She’s only managed to safely do so a few times, although she finds ways to expel it quickly after the fact.



Equipment and other Items: Jenna has a bodysuit that activates from her watch. It does cover her somewhat well, but it doesn’t always hold up or protect her.

Limitations:

Transformation :

As Hardcase, Jenna is one of the most powerful beings that fight for the side of justice. As Jenna...she is a somewhat average woman who could get into some serious trouble if the occasion was not in her favor. Her transformation isn’t like a Power Ranger where it’s a quick “poof”, so if she was attacked or something while normal, it would not bode well.


Backstory:

For your country.

Always do it for your country.


Career Military man Marcus Waters tried to become more than just a simple soldier. He tried to be the best that he could be. So he offered himself to a myriad of experiments in his time in the military. “Give yourself for your country in the greatest way possible.” “If you try, you should be able to become a superman for our cause.” He tried, and he tried, and no matter what he did, it didn’t produce anything. Anything but health problems and other issues.


He ended up realizing he couldn't be like the heroes on TV, he took it upon himself to retire from the Military, and thus he did. He became a police officer in San Frantopolis where he met his darling wife, Sandy O'Malley. Supposedly told the experiments he had gone through rendered him infertile, Marcus thought little of it as he often did what he had to with his wife. As far as he knew, they couldn’t have kids, so he was going to enjoy the ability that he wouldn’t have to worry about accidently having unplanned for children.


Until suddenly... KID.


Sandy and Marcus gave birth to young Jenna Waters a few years after their marriage. In their early years, Jenna had been raised in the small suburb in Sacramento. Jenna was always one who looked out for others, her somewhat sharp mind, and sense of humor brought her far. She was always fun, yet she had no problem pointing out when things were wrong. So far that she was often looked to by friends to be the voice of reason in an argument. She was close to her rough around the edges cousin Mickey, who always seemed to visit during the summer and was always the attempted angel on his shoulder. Even when Mickey always seemed to find a way to start up some trouble, Jenna always managed to talk down the situation, and get most parties to walk away.


Jenna's intelligence worked well for her, and as she attended University of Eterna, she ended up Majoring in Law, and minoring in Psychology. While she had started trying newer cases and growing in her own way, her cousin Mickey too had been growing in his own way. An accident turned him into the hulking, red skinned powerfhouse bodyguard known as Fixit. While he often found himself getting in legal troubles, his cousin often came to his defense, and managed to pull him out of trouble… while he enjoyed a lucky streak with her...Jenna’s luck wasn’t as good. An attempt on Mickey’s life, caused Jenna to get caught in the crossfire, and was hit several times in a driveby.


Bleeding and knocking on death’s door, Mick decided to do what he could to help keep her alive….even if it could cause troubles and issues down the line. A quick blood transfusion was given to her before she was left with the doctors, and he had decided he would try to personally visit the one responsible for the attack on his life. While he was off doing that, the driver and shooters decided...no witnesses, they had visited the slightly athletic Waters, aiming to kill her. But in a blur… before they could pull the trigger... new life sprung into her veins. Like her reddish cousin, immense muscular power ripped through her veins. But...there was a change as she turned into a jade skinned powerhouse that easily dispatched them. She was beginning to lose control, and with that...she leaped away.


She couldn’t understand what had happened...and as she looked at herself in the mirror, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Jenna had no idea why she was so much larger than her cousin, in terms of mass, although she was shorter than him. Why she was green, and not red. She didn’t know of her father’s experiments done to his body… it may have done nothing to him...but it did everything to her. A transfusion which would have probably killed her, instead turned her into a powerful woman, with very little physical equal. Realizing she could use her power respsonsibly, Jenna knew she had to decide on a heroic name. Eventually going under the moniker Hardcase, Jenna had become a professional adventurer, serving with several heroic teams as their go to bruiser, and she is considered one of the strongest beings in the world.

She was stronger than Madame Victory, she knew very little equal and in her journeys, had many epic battles, some, even putting her and Mickey at odds. One constant thorn in her side, was a villainess who had a hint of a crazy streak in her by the name of Malice. It was wild...as it seemed every time Jenna defeated her...the woman always came back. Bigger. Stronger...and still sporting her unnerving smile and aura. While she enjoyed her run at the top… one day, a newer heroine appeared before her, and Jenna felt she had to test herself against her.

...She didn’t even have a chance.

In the epic brawl with the new girl named Alpha, she was just in awe, and shock of just how powerful she was. Her pride was a little bruised, but she lived with it...until Omega showed...and did the same. Jenna felt if anything, her role in the heroic world, while still important, was being shifted due to these newer faces arriving. With that, she slowly started to reopen her legal career in earnest while still heroing on the side. Which brought her against an organization that felt creating a clone of her, would have been the best way of dealing with her. While Jenna ended up defeating the clone that was created to be a supposedly younger, stronger version of herself, Jenna ended up adopting the girl as a younger sister, trying to teach her to do things...better. Even if the girl’s innate programming to kill her when she is big and green is still somewhat there. Jenna’s life has still many turns and twists, as while she still works as a legal consultant, she has recently returned to heroing closer to full time. As one of the main powerhouses on the current version of the Phalanx Legion, Jenna is aware that all the fighting she does is for the next generation, in hopes of helping leave a great mark and a better world for them.

I'm just going to say... I love it.

For some reason, her being called "Jenna Rae Waters" tickles me - perhaps it's the "Yeah, she's my She-Hulk expy, what of it?"

And it's great that you've got a backstory/powers worked out to go with the wonderful art. Bonus points for the clothing destruction - neat effect for her outfit materialising on her.

Thanks man, it does mean a lot! She was fun to make, and she's fun to write for here and there.

Anything to encourage a hard working artist.

Embracing her expiness just amuses me no end - the antithesis of the usual trend of changing an existing character's hair and pretending they're a totally original character. Which always makes me think of: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXsSgz…

Anyway, terrific transformation sequence - hopefully we shall see more of her.

Dorkly Sonic videos are my favorite. Literally my favorite. I still await the next episode of Old Man Sonic.

That said, thanks man.

That one just amuses me a great deal because it's just ridiculously true. I wonder if they'll ever get to Sonic '06? Halloween is coming up and I don't think it gets much scarier...

You're very welcome - we live in a golden age of FMG, there's no doubt about that but it's always great to see someone taking a familiar concept and having fun with it, especially with art like that.

It makes it too easy to sit back and hit favourite.

Big sexy Amazons forever.
