Glory-grant

Gloria Grant, more commonly known as Glory Grant, is a Marvel Comics supporting character of Spider-Man. She is introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man #140 (January 1975) as a neighbor of Peter Parker. Peter then helps her secure a position as J. Jonah Jameson's secretary at the Daily Bugle, replacing Betty Brant.

History[]

Former model Glory Grant was introduced into Peter Parker's life as his personable neighbor, the two meeting while Peter and Flash were moving his things into the former's new apartment in the Lower West Side of Manhattan. Upon the discovery that Peter was a photographer, Glory grew excited and felt it could only be predestined that the two meet, as she was an out-of-work model at the time. While Peter wasn't keen on the idea of snapping photos of models, there was a vacancy at the Daily Bugle (left by Betty Brant), so Peter suggested she apply as J. Jonah Jameson's secretary. The interview goes swimmingly and Grant gets the job as the administrative assistant.

Her connection to Peter Parker took a turn for the worst through her job at the Bugle, however, she would not come to recognize this. Mexican crimelord and mutant werewolf Eduardo Lobo charmed Glory for her access to the Daily Bugle's documents on the Kingpin - his enemy. Although the two quickly hit it off, it Glory fell in love with Eduardo and stood by him when an inevitable fight broke out between him and Spider-man. Rushing to her boyfriend's aid, she turned a gun on Spider-man, hoping to shoot him, but given his spider-sense, he was able to dodge the blast - which killed Eduardo instead.

When Jameson becomes Mayor, Grant becomes one of his aides, appearing with him at the Raft on the day of Alistair Smythe's execution. However, she later quit his administration when she saw that Jameson would never end his personal vendetta against Spider-Man.
