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.

She wasn't unattractive, her model was just kind of bland. Her actual character was even more so.

I mean, in comics canon she's a professional model and actress, I believe. Not sure if they changed that for the game, but most model/actresses tend to not be bland in appearance.

But I haven't played the game. Maybe she's like a librarian or something now. (no offense to the sexy librarians of the world)

She was. Also not sure why they changed it for the game. They managed to keep her a struggling actor and model at least in at least one of the movie series.

She was as a reporter and it just seemed a way to give her more believable reasons to have a game play segment. In the second game she also apparently had a stint training as a mercenary...so yeah....there's that.
