She-Hulk episode 6 showed us a dark side of the internet that we all knew existed. It shows us a website for She-Hulk haters to post disgusting insensitive and sexist “memes” and even death threats on. As Mallory perfectly puts it, it is a website for hateful man babies. And it is called Intelligencia. However, what some fans may not know is that Intelligencia is a reference to the Marvel comics.

During the case involving Mr. Immortal, all the women wronged by him gathered around to decide upon an appropriate settlement. When Mallory asks how the women found out about his pattern of behavior, one of them spoke up. She said that her friend showed her a video from the website Intelligencia where Mr. Immortal died and then walked it off as if nothing happened.

Later on, after closing the case, Mallory and Nikki check out the website and find something truly disturbing. Turns out there was a sub-topic under Intelligencia regarding She-Hulk. So they naturally open a fake profile about how much they hate She-Hulk which gets approved within like seconds. And that’s when they find the death threats. People quite literally plotting the murder of She-Hulk and it is definitely not a joke. While Mallory dismisses them as just pointless memes, however Nikki does her job as a friend and tells Jen all about it as a precaution. Infact, near the ending of the episode, we see that the mastermind behind the Wrecking Crew who wants Jen’s blood also posts on the Intelligencia website to try and bring down She-Hulk.

Intelligencia also known as the Intel from Earth-616 was a group of the greatest villains and the most sinister minds on Earth. It involved evil masterminds such as Doctor Victor Von Doom and Samuel Sterns aka The Leader who will be appearing in Captain America: New World Order. The members of the Intel worked with each other and helped one another with criminal activities. They also resurrected other criminals such as Sandman, Klaw and Absorbing Man.

Their plan was huge as they wanted to find the knowledge that was lost with the Library of Alexandria. They raided Olympus, Wakanda and even Atlantis to find the texts. However, as expected Doctor Doom then betrayed all of them and thus broke apart the Intel. They managed to draw the attention of the Beyonder, retrieve and heal the Venom symbiote and brainwash several of Hulk’s allies. They even created a list of the smartest people on Earth and started gathering them. Their plan was to drain them of their intelligence and use it to power MODOK and the Leader’s machines.

Another one of their master plans was to create the Red Hulk by mutating General Ross. They captured heroes and turned them into Gamma mutates like Amadeus Cho, Red She-Hulk and A-Bomb. They did this to defeat Hulk and take over the world. Fortunately their plan failed as Amadeus Cho managed to overpower and defeat MODOK.
