Christine Everhart is a Marvel Comics fictional reporter that has also appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Canon
Christine first appeared in Iron Man vol. 3, #75 (February 2004). Christine works for The Daily Bugle as an investigative reporter, often interviewing Tony Stark.
MCU
She first appeared in Iron Man 1, in which she sleeps with Tony Stark after trying to get a story out of him for Vanity Fair. She does like that it ends up being a one night stand kind of an affair. She appears again at the end of the film, asking Tony if he is Iron Man. She reappears in Iron Man 2, to interview Justin Hammer.
Since then, she has transferred jobs to be reporting for a news program, WHiH World News. There she broadcasted the aftermath of the Avengers' recent Battle of Sokovia and interviewed Scott Lang from prison.
Fandom
Christine is a fairly rare character in Iron Man and the MCU fanworks, often portraying a more background character. In the fanworks focused on Christine often portray femslash or paired up with Tony (see below for more). Many fans on Tumblr were excited to find out that Marvel Studios created a fake Youtube Channel[3] that features Christine as the reporter[1] for news in the MCU.
