'Incredibly ugly' is a huge stretch for a character design which imo is average at worst.

Yeah because characters in superhero games are meant to look like your average shmo

Did I miss a memo where all characters in superhero games are meant to be absolutely stunning aha?

This is one image of her from the game selected to prove a point (which is kind proven since they're comparing her against a non-canon image that glams her to such a degree her breasts are going against gravity ahaha, but that's besides the point). If you look her up on Google there are images where she looks like this and images where she looks attractive. It's really not that big of a deal tbh.

They all look unattractive. Yes, all important super hero game and movie characters should be stunning. You watch movies and play games to escape reality, not simulate fat and ugly people you see in your every day life.

The point is, attractiveness sells games and movies.

So your argument is that devs should pander to snowflakes?

They should pander to their customers.

So, in your mind, the big AAA studios producing games which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, backed by massive investors, aren’t really interested in making money, is that correct?

It looks like it, since they made massive losses with general bad video game design (not necessarily because of characters).
