So what you're saying is that he's not butt ugly, just sort of normal with a vitamin D defincincy, and he works out! Mmmm....That'll do for me!! We'll soon get some colour in those cheeks. Think I might read the book.
You'll like the books, ginge. There are three (so far): "Halo: The Fall of Reach;" "Halo: The Flood;" and "Halo: First Strike."
The first book describes him as over 6 foot (almost 7 feet tall in his suit), powerfully built, and (at the very least) normal looking. There is an interesting bit in the second book, where a female marine officer mentally sizes him up, when he is ordered to appear, without his suit, in front of the officer in charge of PoA's marooned marine expedition.
EDIT --> As for thumping Cortana: No. I thought that whole cutscene was very funny. Did you see 343 Guilty Spark get knocked to the ground (How'd she do that?) ? Heh, heh, she was ticked with EVERYBODY: very funny. Oh, and she does try to save MC's butt by getting him away from Guilty Spark. This is the only scene where the very quick and intelligent MC looks like a slow-wit. He gets back at Cortana, though, in the starting cutscene of "The Maw" and especially the early cutscene in that same level: where 343GS thwarts Cortana's plan and SHE is at a total loss as to what to do, but MC devises a fallback plan steps her through it. I think the hardest I laughed in the game was watching MC play with his frag in order to drive a point home to the much-slower-than-usual Cortana.
Unfortunately for our lady marine (and other MC fans) due to the body altering drugs, surgeries and implants he's been given; the only time MC wants to "stick it," is when using a plasma grenade. Same's true for the female SPARTANs (sigh).
