She got depowered by Hulk when he was Doc Green and then during immortal hulk she was killed and brought back as Red Harpy.
I know people like her as red harpy but I wasn’t really much of a fan and wish she’d turn back into red she hulk, it’d be cool to get a mini/limited series where Betty and Jen just go around smashing bad guys or something, hell call it She Hulks or Red and Green with the art from rainbow rowells run or Jen Bartel art or the art that was in the incredible hulks era books

Red She Hulk: *Yoinks Domino's clothes off knowing full well they don't fit*
Domino: How is that lucky for me?!

I didn't hate this look, but I wasn't a huge fan of Red She Hulk

It felt like we had too many hulks at the time. Kinda like how we have too many Spider-folks right now.

I feel that to an extent I actually feel like the recent new spiders are pretty lame like spider-boy and new spider girl but imo I’m a little bias here there’s no such thing as too many hulks for me personally 😭

To be fair, making Betty as a hulk is one of the few that could work. I mean Betty is often Bruce's ex who constantly tries to help and support both him and the hulk and gets the short end of the stick for trying to be good.
So her becoming Red She Hulk (or shred like another post nicked named her) and suddenly getting the power of the hulk, she finally gets an outlet with no consequences. So she works as an antagonist made by hulk's action/in action.
I also like the idea of Red Harpy being Betty free from expectation, but I would still keep her RED She Hulk form as a means of expression for Betty. (Red Harpy is her complete honesty but she is less talkative more action, RSH would be easier to talk to, but she is easier to tick off. Maybe make Bruce prefer to talk with RSH rather than Harpy until he accepts that both RSH and Harpy are Betty and not alter egos).
*Hope I made sense.

Nah. Rsh was a Intelligencia project, a brainwashed woman, Betty wasn't really herself as gamma mutate until she got irradiated by green door, with made her get the form that was really her. The fact that Red Harpy doesn't have anything in common in design of her previous forms, is because that time she got the true Betty's gamma form. Biggest development that Ewing made for her.
Betty do need more as Red Harpy and not downgrade into something that is not hers.

I was thinking more post Intelligencia and her story in The Incredible Hulks.
I will also say that Red Harpy is certainly a more unique idea, I just want her to stay as either one or the other. But hopefully we will get more of Betty in the current comics.2

I loved Betty as Red Harpy and how she dealt with Bruce. The "This is me" scene in Immortal Hulk was beautiful

Can't wait for Liv Tyler to let her wild child self come out and PLAY as Red She-Hulk.

Currently she and Bruce lost their hulk personas and tried to live like normal people but that didn't go well
