Dylan Hunt is like Commander Shepard
Nope, Dylan Hunt had no boobs. Beside that joke you should think of, that you were able to play Shephard in various way, so you could play him pretty badass as well.
That there were similarities with the team members, actually occurs on actual character designs. So when given a certain group in games or television, there are often certain kind of characters like "the weird tech guru", "the bulldozer", "the wise and calm one", "the one that never gives up and encourages others", ...
Commander Shepard only has boobs if you play as fem-shep, but I suppose that could be considered a difference. Hunt often seemed to pick Paragon or Renegade depending on the writer for that episode's script. Mostly Paragon, but far too often Renegade.
Huh, yeah it could just be generic character types, but the who traversing the universe available trying to round up everyone to stop the Reapers/Magog thing still seems a bit too similar. Mass Effect seems to reference many things in scifi, such as Aliens with Joker suggesting nuking a site with Rachni from orbit just to be sure or the reference to Red October (although does Red October count as science fiction, or just fiction, or perhaps political/military fiction?)
