Only two episodes of the new Marvel Disney+ show She-Hulk premiered so far. Despite that, Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk, has her hands full already. She became a superhero, lost her job, found a new one, and agreed to take on Abomination's case. Abomination, also known as Emil Blonsky, has previously appeared in the MCU when he pursued Hulk in The Incredible Hulk (2008) and caused a lot of chaos and damage.

He also had a brief scene in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021), which, however, didn't shed much light on Abomination. Since Abomination didn't get as much space in the MCU as other villains, there are some things that fans who only know the MCU movies and don't read the comics should know about the powerful antagonist.

6 He Wasn't Always A Villain

Just like some of the best MCU antagonists, Abomination wasn't always a villain. At one point, he became the leader of a community of abandoned and homeless people who resided in the New York sewers. The community was known as the Forgotten and Abomination protected them from their enemies, including the police, who didn't like the fact that the Forgotten moved around the sewers freely and could potentially cause trouble.

Abomination could have easily abandoned the community and found a place somewhere where no one would disturb him, but he still stuck around and fought for people who had no one else at their side.

5 He's Jealous Of Hulk

Even though Emil Blonsky claimed there was no bad blood between him and Bruce Banner in the second episode of She-Hulk, he might very well be lying. At least based on his behavior in the comics. Abomination wants to be stronger and better than Hulk in the comics. In other words, he's jealous of him. Emil Blonsky demonstrated some of this behavior in She-Hulk as well when he pointed out that Hulk is considered a hero while he was imprisoned even though he fought for his country.

Hopefully, Blonsky doesn't take it so far in the show as he did in the comics. He was so jealous of Hulk that when he learned that Bruce was about to marry Betty Ross, he killed Betty. Bruce and Betty are no longer together in the MCU but Blonsky could still try and hit Bruce where it hurts, go against his family, maybe even against Jennifer herself.

4 He Was A Writer

The second episode of She-Hulk showed that Emil Blonsky had another side to him. He was a writer who wrote haiku, a form of poetry, about his victims, the people he hurt, and past events. While the thought of Abomination as a writer might come across as strange, it's not far from the comics. In the comics, Blonsky also had literary aspirations and used his life experiences to fuel them.

When he was hiding from the justice system, he decided to become a writing teacher. The biggest lesson Blonsky gave to his students was that only lazy writers come up with happy endings. That quite closely reflects Blonsky's overall attitude toward life and people as he chooses to look at the world in a pessimistic way, unlike Bruce, who does his best to stay hopeful.

3 He Has A Female Counterpart As Well

Most Marvel fans know that Hulk has his female counterpart, She-Hulk, who's just as powerful and capable as her cousin. What's less known is that Abomination also has a female version. Her name is Abominatrix, and she becomes a major enemy of none other than She-Hulk. While it's not clear whether Abominatrix will make her appearance on She-Hulk, it's not out of the question.

If Bruce Banner's blood was able to infect Jennifer and turn her into She-Hulk, there's no reason why Abomination's blood couldn't do the same. Of course, Abominatrix got her powers differently in the comics, because of medical experimentation with gamma rays, but it wouldn't be so unusual if the MCU changed her origin story to better mirror She-Hulk's, considering the comic-book enmity between them.

2 How He Became Abomination

The MCU likes to change the characters' origin stories. It did the same with Abomination. Unlike Bruce Banner, whose transformation was an accident, Blonsky volunteered for the military in the MCU in order to be able to capture Hulk. He was given a version of the super soldier serum that created Captain America, but it didn't go according to plan and Abomination was born.

The comic-book Blonsky, on the other hand, got his powers when he was close to the area in which Bruce performed the fateful experiment that turned him into Hulk. To be fair to Bruce, he didn't aim to transform anyone. Blonsky, who was a Russian spy, infiltrated the base where Bruce worked on his experiment, and it didn't end well for him.

1 He Fought Other Heroes

Even though Abomination has the closest association to Hulk in the comics, he fought other heroes as well. One of them was Spider-Man, but this showdown is unlikely to happen in the MCU, considering Tom Holland's Spider-Man limits himself to the movies, and it's improbable he will appear in a TV show.

Another MCU character who could potentially take on Abomination is General Ross, played by William Hurt in The Incredible Hulk. In the comics, Ross turned himself into an antihero called Red Hulk, and he was responsible for killing Abomination and avenging his daughter Betty.
