History
Through an invasion of privacy, Vance was able to obtain topless photos of the super-heroine She-Hulk, who at the time had just recently joined the Fantastic Four. When She-Hulk -- in her civilian identity of lawyer Jennifer Walters -- learned that Vance had purchased the photos, she tracked him down to his office with her then boyfriend Wyatt Wingfoot to try and get Vance to cease and desist. The lecherous Vance tried to smooth talk Walters into abstaining, but his advances only caused her to make more legal demands. Having had enough, Vance then told Jen that it was too late and the photos were already sent to be published. He then gloated about the money he made on pre-sales of the magazine, showing off his safe which was filled with money. Reverting to type, "Teej" then tried to make untoward advances on Jen. Having had enough of dealing with such a lecherous man, Jennifer turned into the She-Hulk. Vance became instantly frightened, but instead of hurting him, She-Hulk instead crumpled up the bank safe into a ball for extra "security". She then tossed it into Vance's hands, the sudden weight made it tumble to the floor, taking Vance with him. Ultimately Vance's photos did little if anything thanks to an overzealous photo developer who, upon seeing the She-Hulk's green skin, thought this was a flaw in the photography and "color corrected" the photo so that She-Hulk appeared to be a Caucasian woman. Without any point of reference to verify if this was indeed the She-Hulk, the photo was generally regarded as some generic woman, allowing She-Hulk to dodge any controversy that might have been caused by the nude photos.
