Marvel Introduces a New Hulk in Spider-Man Series
Miles Morales prepares to unveil a groundbreaking new Hulk in the Marvel Universe, coinciding with a pivotal moment for iconic gamma-powered characters like Bruce Banner and Jennifer Walters. Just as the narrative shifts with an upcoming intergalactic storyline, a supporting character is set to make her transformation on Earth-616—a reveal that has been meticulously building over the past year.
The new Hulk isn’t entirely unfamiliar to readers, as she has long been associated with Miles’ journey.

Getting to Know Dr. Keisha Kwan: Therapist and Marvel’s Latest Hulk
While Dr. Kwan’s transformation into a Hulk is still shrouded in mystery, she has playfully emerged as a key character in the ongoing narrative of Miles Morales. Debuting in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #13 by Ziglar and Vicentini, Dr. Kwan began her role as Miles’ therapist, guiding him through various challenges such as the recently concluded Gang War.
Despite her established presence in Miles’ life, many aspects of Dr. Kwan remain enigmatic. She appears to possess extraordinary physical abilities, outmatching Miles in height and displaying resilience against debris. Although she has been closely associated with a well-known alpha in Hulk lore—who seems to mentor her—Dr. Kwan has skillfully concealed her gamma-powered potential from Miles until now. As she prepares to unveil her powers, she stands ready to assist Spider-Man in combatting formidable foes.
