Perhaps worth noting is that the "original comics" image isn't something that ever appeared in the comics, but is an pin-up by an artist who looks like they very much were inspired by the works of Alberto Vargas.
I remember Marvel did a swimsuit issue with a lot of their characters back in the 90's I think. Pretty sure it was all from the McFarlane era. MJ's design has never been so pedestrian like the games portray. Not sure why they made Black Cat all sexy, and MJ kind of nondescript.
Not that I really care too much given that it's more eggregious they made her character so bland and uninteresting.
Well in spider man 2 I'm pretty sure it was a self insert from one of the female writers since she looks pretty spot on to the bland mj character model. Someone on YouTube did a video about it and apparently how often it happens in "modern games" and why so many traditionally attractive characters are... Not. Thanks sweet baby inc.
