    Since this was offically used as the cover (by Dave Hoover) for #36 of Marvel's What If title I've decided to post this here rather then in the Superheroine forum which is used for original art commissions.

    Anyway, here's She-Hulk, or as her descendent, Jhen, is better known in the future – Gammazon . . . 😎

    Isn't she a clone, rather than a descendant?

    Isn't she a clone, rather than a descendant?

    A good question that you raise and my answer would be that being a clone doesn't mean that this Jhen is our Jen.  The body might be nearly almost the same in form (clones aren't true carbon copies), but the personality (or if you're religious, soul) wouldn't be hers, but another’s.

    Even so, regardless of whether the biological process of reproduction was by the natural means or through the use of an artificial one, she still remains the offspring of Jen, and with the context of the story set in the future, I think my use the word "descendent" is appropriate in this case.  😎
