The 1982 Incredible Hulk series lasted only one season of 13 episodes, with no renewal by network NBC. However, Marvel Productions still held out hope that it could be salvaged.
Presentation documents were written by Misty Stewart in early 1983, seeking to relaunch the series as The Incredible Hulk And The She-Hulk, with Bruce Banner's cousin Jennifer Walters, introduced in the episode Enter: She-Hulk, as a co-headliner.
Changes included rewriting the Hulk to be less like the comics incarnation and more like the live-action TV series which had ended the year before. Additionally, the network presentation suggests that the show have Bruce Banner and Jennifer Walters not be related to one another, in order to facilitate love triangle storylines involving Betty Ross.
