We all know that Jennifer Walters got her powers from a transfusion from her cousin...
But has SHE ever given someone a transfusion?
And, if so, does anyone know what the results were?
Just wondering....
Shulkie Transfusion?

Not to my knowledge...
I don't think Jen has ever given a transfusion to anyone else. From what I understand how the Marvel science is supposed to work, if Jen DID give someone a transfusion of her blood it's unlikely that her powers would be passed on to them. I think the reason that Jen ended up with Hulk's powers is because of her familial connection with Bruce, ie: because she was directly related to him. Otherwise I don't think the radiation would have affected her that way. That's how I understand it, anyway.
Gamma Leukemia
Somebody else would probably just get leukemia, to paraphrase one FBI agent's dialog in one issue of Bendis' Daredevil, while discussing how Matt Murdock got his superpowers.
Gamma: that's interesting,
Gamma: that's interesting, b/c that's pretty much how I interpret it, with a slight change.
The reason I asked is that I've decided to undertake a pointless undertaking in terms of "fan fiction," and this question could be key to a plot point.
Not sure how the familial
Not sure how the familial connection makes it happen, aside from the fact that they were the same blood type, but thanks for the reply!
It's Marvel science...
I think the explanation had more to do than just the similarity in blood type. The way an official explanation worded it was that it was Jen's family link that allowed her body to metabolize the gamma from the transfusion and use it to transform her without being directly exposed to the radiation, like Bruce was.
