Marvel is shaking things up with a new Hulk introduction, and it’s happening at just the right time. As Bruce Banner, Jennifer Walters, and other gamma-powered heroes prepare for a cosmic adventure, Earth-616 is about to witness the rise of a new Hulk—Dr. Keisha Kwan. Miles Morales: Spider-Man #34 is set to showcase her transformation, marking a major shift in Marvel’s Hulk storytelling.
A New Hulk Joins the Fight
marvel-knights-punisher-2025-1-frank-castles-nightmare/”>marvel’s June 2025 solicitations reveal that Miles Morales: Spider-Man #34, written by Cody Ziglar with art by Marco Renna, will feature Miles Morales recruiting a powerful new ally in his fight against Ares, the God of War. The hero in question? Dr. Keisha Kwan, a familiar character who has been subtly hinting at her hidden strength for quite some time.
On the cover illustrated by Federico Vicentini, Keisha is seen hulking out in front of Miles, signaling the long-awaited reveal of her gamma-fueled abilities. While marvel-knights-punisher-2025-1-frank-castles-nightmare/”>marvel has dropped numerous hints about her strength, this issue will finally confirm her transformation into a Hulk.
Who Is Dr. Keisha Kwan?
Dr. Keisha Kwan first appeared in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #13, serving as Miles’ therapist. She is a student of Doc Sasquatch and has been a key figure in helping the young Wallcrawler navigate his emotions, particularly during the Gang War storyline and when he struggled with his temporary vampiric bloodlust.
Though Keisha’s role in Miles’ life is well-established, her abilities have remained a Mystery. She has displayed impressive resilience, effortlessly lifting herself from debris and showing remarkable physical durability. It appears that Doc Sasquatch has been mentoring her, but the full extent of her powers remains to be seen. So far, she has kept her abilities hidden from Miles, but in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #34, that is set to change.
The Perfect Timing for a New Hulk
Keisha’s transformation into a Hulk couldn’t come at a better moment. With Marvel’s upcoming event Imperial taking Bruce Banner, Jennifer Walters, and Amadeus Cho off-world, the most famous gamma-powered heroes will be absent from Earth. This leaves a significant gap in the Hulk legacy on the planet—one that Keisha Kwan and Doc Sasquatch seem poised to fill.
As Ares and his champions wage war, Miles Morales needs all the help he can get. With Keisha stepping up, her gamma-powered strength will undoubtedly change the course of the battle. Marvel’s official description teases her superhero identity as The Shrink, a clever nod to her background as a therapist, stating, “She’s prescribing a little SMASH THERAPY!”
Keisha Kwan: More Than Just a Hulk
Even before her transformation, Keisha Kwan has been a hero in her own right. Her skills as a therapist have helped Miles Morales manage his emotions, refine his abilities, and find stability in his chaotic life as Spider-Man. Now, with her Hulk powers coming to light, she is set to take a more direct role in the action.
Fans eager to see this major development won’t have to wait long. Miles Morales: Spider-Man #34 hits shelves on June 25, 2025, and promises to bring Marvel’s latest Hulk into the spotlight. With a massive battle against Ares on the horizon, Keisha Kwan’s debut as The Shrink is set to leave a smashing impact on the Marvel Universe.
