Well this thread has gone along its merry way while I was out…. 🙂

To begin with I don't know if Jen/Shulkie is dead. Probably not, but Loeb does kill arbitrarily. (See Ultimatum) And I think he's riding the Red Hulk one trick pony for all its worth. But I'll be honest… a buff badass red She Hulk I'll go for instead of a Second Rate She Hulk cloned from a Third Rate Wonder Woman. Of course you'll notice because she's a "Bad Grrl" (Tm) that she gets the muscles?

She's not dead Fonz, but DC is definitely fucking with her. It's just when a character "drops" down the list even when they've proven themselves in the past (Pantha anyone?) They become Redshirts later on.

Now that's weird…. they seem to mixing Mongul with Darkseid…. those are two members of Darkseid's female furies lurking in the background. And oh yeah… using a GUY to do MonGal's voice, because using a woman's voice tricked up by computer is way too classy.  >:( >:(

Too bad "She-Bane" is your basic "Lurch" standing in the background.  :-

Did anyone had a look at the issue 28 of Justice League of America??
I heard that there was a crossover with Shadow-cabinet in it and would like to know if Donner was featured in the issue…  😉

She was… Unfortunately and all too predictably, she had none of the muscle mass Chris Cross originally gave her. Another downsized amazon. :-

What worries me, is given the trends in comics the last few years, where B-List characters (And Yes Shulkie fans Jen is B-List) are killed off in 'events' and 'crisis' storylines, She Hulk will get the red shirt treatment. Bendis or Loeb will kill She Hulk and have her body stuffed in a refrigerator or something.  >:(

It's really no mystery why Female Bodybuilding is a vanishing sport.  All you have to do is go to youtube, look at the videos from late 80's and early 90's and then look the videos of the most recent competitors.

Steroids fucked everything up.  Even the most hardcore bodybuilders of the earlier time looked feminine and beautiful.  Athletes like Hannie Van Akken, Sandy Riddell, Bev Francis, Cory Everson, Lenda Murray, etc… 

Today most of what we see are horribly disfigured faces with clear maleish features.  It's really hard to sell THAT for the mainstream customers. 

Sorry to burst your bubble, but all the women you listed were juicers. Lenda Murray admitted her use a few years ago. To put it bluntly, the women were better looking back then because the sport could attract women from different venues. Some were all around athletes who started lifting weights to recover from injuries. Others had been cheerleaders, even models. As the sport narrowed, the quality and strength of the drugs might have changed, but essentially the hardest of the hardcore remained committed to the sport and top prize went to winning physiques irregardless of feminine symmetry or facial quality. I think it's impossible to create a completely drug free sport (there have been attempts to have natural contests that never seemed to get coverage)So what's needed is judging criteria that emphasizes feminine symmetry and overall quality. That would at the least moderate the drug use.
