Introduced back in 2008\u2019s The Incredible Hulk, Emil Blonsky is a Russian-born British-raised former Royal Marines Commando, who was transformed into a grotesque monster by a botched replication of the Super Soldier Serum.<\/p>\n
He was portrayed as a truly ruthless villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/a>\u2018s second ever entry, which ended with a destructive confrontation between Blonsky and Bruce Banner, both in their monstrous alternate forms.<\/p>\n Following a fleeting cameo in Shang-Chi last year<\/a>, fans have been excited to see Abomination reintroduced after such a long absence, but may be surprised to find the character almost unrecognisable.<\/p> Far from the cold-hearted killer we met more than a decade ago, Blonsky is shown to have adopted an enlightened view of the world, forming meaningful connections with those around him and developing a love for haikus.<\/p>\n In an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a>, She-Hulk head writer Jessica Gao explained the thought process behind Abomination\u2019s radical reinvention for the Disney Plus<\/a> series.<\/p>\n \u201cI just thought\u2026 it would be really fun to pull this character, who was such an indelible part of Hulk lore, and pull him into this Hulk show,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cBut also to have fun with this character, because we saw him so long ago [and] we also saw him in such a serious capacity. It would be so nice to bring him in and actually make him have fun with it and actually let him play around with this character and show you kind of a different side, because there is that long span of time.\u201d<\/p>\n Gao didn\u2019t go into detail on exactly what could have propelled Blonsky on his journey of self-discovery, but argued that such a long time spent behind bars could be enough to reform even someone as hardened as he once was.<\/p>\n \u201cAnything could have happened to this man over the course of the last 14 years,\u201d she continued. \u201cPeople change, especially if they\u2019ve been sitting in a detention cell somewhere.<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t know what\u2019s happened all that time and people go through these kinds of changes after such a huge thing has happened to them \u2013 and then they\u2019ve had to sit with it for over a decade.\u201d<\/p>\n Abomination\u2019s re-emergence isn\u2019t the only reference to The Incredible Hulk in this week\u2019s episode, as Edward Norton\u2019s one-time Bruce Banner also gets a nod<\/a>.<\/p>\n She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is available to stream on Disney Plus.
