Betty Brandt is one of the mudracket paper The Daily Bugle's staff and J. Jonah Jameson's secretary. Brandt was usually seen either passing on messages to Jameson or receiving curt orders from him.

While she never dates Peter, a subtle, mutual attraction to him is apparent between the pair, similair to that of Miss Moneypenny and James Bond's relationship in Eon's films.

Betty did find a way of getting her comeuppance on her boss, by being tasked by his wife to inform him to avoid getting agitated and to remember to take his numerous medications, which she does to comic effect through a loud buzzing intercom.

Later in the film, she was hit on by Eddie Brock who she visibly dislikes and then a symbiote-influenced Peter which she's visibly attracted, only to be interrupted by Jameson and Robbie Robertson.
