In just two episodes, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law It brought some unexpected ingredients to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, from long-awaited Easter eggs to delightful new characters. This was particularly the case in the series’ second episode, which embodied the world of Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany) as a high-profile lawyer and a reluctant superhero. The episode introduced some new characters through its new law firm GLK & H – including fan-favorite supporting characters from the pages of She-Hulk comics. Spoilers for Episode 2 of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law less! Only see if you want to I know!
As Jane learns about the various elements of GLK&H’s paranormal law department, she and best friend/paralegal assistant Nikki Ramos (Ginger Gonzaga) meet one of their new co-workers, Augustus “Pug” Pugliese (Josh Segarra). Pug introduces himself as another member of the supernatural law department, and gives Jen and Nikki a welcome basket full of things they might need, including a map of the best bathroom in the office to defecate in.
Pug’s role in the episode is short, but immediately endearing — and mirrors his larger role in She-Hulk comics in the early 2000s. Created by Dan Slot and Juan Pobelo in Strong woman #1, Pug begins as a law student and nightclub bouncer, whose life Spider-Man saved after he was attacked by a criminal syndicate. This incident motivates Pug to fight on behalf of the superhumans in court, which he does as part of GLK & H. As Jane’s co-worker, friend, and ultimately roommate, Pug works with her on multiple cases, including a defamation case between Spider -Man and J. Jonah Jameson. Along the way, Pug realizes he had romantic feelings for Jen, but she doesn’t reciprocate, in part because she’s drawn into a Starfox-manipulated marriage with John Jameson.
In the end, Pug gets so overwhelmed by his feelings for Jen that he takes a love potion from a witch (he didn’t know it was Morgan Le Fay) to suppress his emotions. But the alternate version of Pug and Jen get together in another corner of the Marvel multiverse, so at least there’s that.
