Emil Blonsky returned in today's episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, though not as Abomination. When there was an issue with his power inhibitor (should we be suspicious?), Jennifer Walters was forced to visit his wellness retreat and ended up meeting some of the supervillains he's trying to get back on the right path.
Did you recognise them all?
We kicked things off with Man-Bull (Nathan Hurd) and El Aguila (Joseph Castillo-Midyett) before being introduced to Porcupine (Jordan Aaron Ford) and Saracen (Terrence Clowe). The latter is a particularly interesting addition to the MCU as Emil introduced him as someone who believes he's a vampire.
Despite talking a lot about drinking blood, he didn't show any sort of aversion to sunlight and isn't a vampire in the comic books. He's just a villain who The Punisher has crossed paths with over the years, so it's interesting that Marvel Studios chose to reinvent him in this way, especially with Blade on the horizon.
The biggest surprise, however, was the return of Wrecker (Nick Gomez). He was last seen alongside the rest of The Wrecking Crew trying to steal She-Hulk's blood. They failed and reported back to their boss - HulkKing, we're assuming - but Wrecker appears to have seen the light.
He apologises to Jen and earns her forgiveness. Weirdly, he never explains why they were after their blood and she doesn't ask; however, we're guessing that's because she didn't realise that's what The Wrecking Crew was up to in the midst of their fight. Ultimately, none of these baddies seems all that bad and Emil's heart does seem to be in the right place.
There was no sign of Abomination in "The Retreat," but we know from various promos that he is still set to appear...unless those scenes have been cut!
