She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Episode 9 Introduces The Hulk’s Son Skaar

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law finale has introduced the Hulk’s son Skaar. Wrapping up its first season with episode 9, Marvel’s superhero legal comedy went full meta on its audience, before bringing back Jennifer Walters’ cousin, Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo). Hulk is back from his trip to Sakaar, the garbage planet, bringing with him his long-lost offspring Skaar (Wil Deusner). The introduction opens pathways for new storylines in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. All episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law are out now on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar.

The first season of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law ended on a bombastic note, with Walters (Tatiana Maslany) breaking the fourth wall, and entering the Marvel Studios writing room, questioning the choices that led to her spotlight getting stolen in the episode. Following that altercation, we are treated to a pleasant get-together, with Matt Murdock/ Daredevil (Charlie Cox’s) being introduced to the Walters family.

The jolly mood is briefly interrupted when her cousin, Professor Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), shows up at the occasion. “I know I’ve been away on Sakaar for a while. I’ll tell you all about it,” he says. “But first, I have someone here that I’d like you all to meet.” He steps aside, revealing his alien son Skaar, garbed in a warrior’s outfit and a peculiar hairstyle. Deusner, best known for The CW Network’s Stargirl, is credited as the actor.

She-Hulk episode 9: Who is Skaar?

We have yet to learn about the events leading up to this reveal, but it is known that Banner spends a good amount of time, smashing opponents in Sakaar’s gladiator arena. The planet was first introduced in director Taika Waititi’s 2017 film, Thor: Ragnarok. In the Marvel comics, Hulk falls in love with a fellow warrior, Caiera the Oldstrong, eventually resulting in the offspring Skaar. This is explored in Greg Pak’s “Planet Hulk” storyline, where Hulk leads an uprising against the Sakaarian king, gets married to Caiera, and starts ruling the planet.

Unfortunately, the latter dies in a spacecraft explosion, causing Hulk to blame the Illuminati — introduced in the MCU in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness — and set off on an act of bloodthirsty revenge. However, the son survives. Abandoned on the hostile planet amongst all kinds of perilous creatures, he grows at an abnormal rate with murder on his mind.

The She-Hulk finale features the father-son reunion, though Skaar’s facial expression suggests a lack of interest. Perhaps there are still some unresolved issues between the two? Another takeaway is his hairstyle, which is super different from the portrayal in the comics, where he sports long, flowy hair. While Marvel Studios has not revealed its plans for future entries, a minor interaction between Walters and the AI, K.E.V.I.N — a play on Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige — earlier in She-Hulk episode 9, hinted at a solo Hulk movie.

Additionally, She-Hulk Attorney at Law episode 9 also featured a post-credits scene. After Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) is sent back to prison, for breaching bail, he is once again greeted by Wong, the Sorcerer Supreme (Benedict Wong). Keeping his promise to Blonsky, the sorcerer offers him sanctuary at the Kamar Taj, before the two discuss the guest policy, and disappear into the sparking portal.

She-Hulk Episode 1 Post-Credits Scene, Explained

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law episode 1 — now streaming on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — ushers in a new superhero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Or rather, a new superpowered being. Given the 30-something Los Angeles lawyer Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) has no interest in being a superhero. As she says repeatedly on She-Hulk episode 1 to her cousin Bruce Banner/ Smart Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), all she wants is to focus on her career. But alongside those complaints and being trained in the ways of a Hulk, the new Marvel series makes room for MCU jokes and family banter.

Early into the first episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law — directed by Kat Coiro, and written by Jessica Gao — as the cousins head out on a road trip, Walters wonders out loud if Steve Rogers/ Captain America (Chris Evans) died a virgin. She then runs through the packed history of Cap’s life, even though both Banner and the audience are fully aware of it. He fought Nazis in World War II, at the end of which, he was frozen in ice. And after he returned, Rogers was involved in one world-threatening disaster after another, and that was when he wasn’t busy running from the powers that-be.

Warning: spoilers ahead for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law episode 1. Proceed at your own risk.

That conversation is soon literally derailed by the arrival of a Sakaaran spaceship, which inadvertently causes Walters to become She-Hulk. But even though her life is entirely upended post the accident, the topic of Cap’s virginity is still on Walters’ mind, as the She-Hulk episode 1 post-credits scene reveals.

The first episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is divided between Walters’ home city of Los Angeles, and her Hulk training at an undisclosed place in Mexico where Banner spent most of the Blip. While She-Hulk episode 1 ends in a LA courtroom, the post-credits scene takes us back to the cousins’ drinking escapades at Hulk’s handmade bar in Mexico.

Thanks to Hulk’s metabolism powers, they can drink more than most. Still, Walters is overcome with emotion and close to tears, as you might expect from someone who’s clearly had too much to drink. In that state, Walters brings up the Captain America again as she says: “This is so sad. Steve Rogers did so much for his country and he never got to experience sex.”

“Like did you see that ass? Like, that ass did not deserve to die a virgin. It’s, like, so sad,” she adds. The repeated comments finally prompt Smart Hulk to reply: “Steve Rogers is not a virgin. He lost his virginity to a girl on the 1943 USO tour.” Turns out, Walters was playacting to get Banner to spill the beans. “Yes, I knew it!” Walters screams, reverting back to her non-crying, non-drunk self.

And then, in a booming voice, Walters adds: “Captain America fuuuuu—,” just as the She-Hulk episode 1 post-credits scene cuts. There’s no setup here for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law episode 2, it’s just an extension to a gag.

She-Hulk episode 2 releases August 25 at 12:30pm IST/ 12am PT on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar.
