Personality[]

Christine Everhart is a dedicated reporter and news anchor with profound journalistic knowledge and good communication skills. During her time as a reporter, she even kept a handheld recorder on her at all times in case an interesting story appeared. Although affable as per her job requirements, Everhart possesses a sharp tongue and will not hide her bias from anyone, including her interviewees. When she interviewed Tony Stark, Everhart initially took a neutral approach, but expressed her disdain for Stark's views when he demonstrated blatant favoritism for weapons.

Years later, Everhart developed a more conservative viewpoint, which she expresses during her newscasts for WHiH World News. Everhart seems to be much more critical on matters regarding super-powered individuals and their unregulated actions, though she does acknowledge how much they have assisted humanity. Scott Lang found Everhart's unapologetic conservatism rather irritating, which resulted in him being tased by a prison security guard.
