FAQs (taken from the official FAQ or FFG's responses to the official rules question form)

Q: Can I keep Superhuman Strength in play if the attacked enemy is already stunned?

A: No, you must discard Superhuman Strength after She-Hulk makes a basic attack regardless of whether or not the villain is already stunned. -(Developer Ruling)

Q: Does Superhuman Strength discard after only using a basic attack or any Attack event?

A: You can play an Attack event to trigger Superhuman Strength and stun the attacked enemy. While it can create a situation where you miss out on the +2 ATK, that is ultimately the player’s choice. -(Developer Ruling, Hall of Heroes)

As I understand first FAQ is no longer correct via "1.5" Rules Change. In a She-Hulk "Jennifer Walters, Rules Lawyer" deck there was a text "Forced; article 1: “If a forced ability requires one or more targets to resolve and it has no valid targets, it does not initiate.” Furthermore, in subsection A: “Any costs that would have been paid to initiate the ability are not paid.” The cost in question: discarding Superhuman Strength. So now we can keep the card in play provided we don't have a valid target for its effect." that implied, that if target would be dead because of attack (so there would be no valid target to stun during responce timing) or if the villain would have a Stalwart keyword (so they couldn't get stun counters) or if they would just already has stun counter (and without Steady they couldn't get second one), then Superhuman Strength would NOT be discarded (and you could do some crazy stuff this way, gaining two +2 ATK boosts)

You’re absolutely right, wow! This card is now insanely strong — Stretch22 · 1272

I don't think you're reading the card right. The "cost" is an attack, and the consequence of set attack, is to discard the card. Unfortunately we already know, this also includes attack events. The card clearly states "after She-Hulk attacks" so you have to discard it, even if no stun is placed, just as you always had to. — Kogi · 1
Kogi, that is incorrect. You have neglected the rules change OP has quoted, which is found on page 17 of the RR 1.5 under "Forced". I understand it is not intuitive if you only looked at the card, but it is correct — Stretch22 · 1272
You say about this? — wiglaff · 2
• If a forced ability requires one or more targets to resolve and it has no valid targets, it does not initiate. » Any costs that would have been paid to initiate the ability are not paid. — wiglaff · 2

This card stays in play until you use an attack action with She-Hulk. At the moment, I think the only card that takes advantage of this is Counter-Punch (would do 5 damage and not discard Superhuman Strength).

Whoops, my mistake. After looking at the rulebook, the "(attack)" in Counter-punch's text makes it an attack, and so it discards the Superhuman strength. — jmmeye3@gmail.com · 32
This card gets some nice buffs from the 1.5 Rules Reference. If you attack and defeat a minion, or if you attack an already-stunned target, you don't discard Superhuman Strength, since there's no valid target for the stun ability. — Blackhaven · 9
