The blue carona of energy around Raiden faded as he drew nearer to his
Asgardian opponent. Instead, the glow of force moved from his body and

that impulse. How dare he call her conceited! Just because she was

Excess verbiage.  I'd suggest going with:

fancied. But it wasn't Thor's fault that her godly form was so 
irresistible to the self-proclaimed Goddess of Foxes.

That seems a bit contemptuous to an old girlfriend.  While in fact the 
"official" kami of foxes is male, (and there's a funny story about 
that), perhaps he should just refer to her as the fox goddess rather 
than sneering at her.  After all, unlike Raiden, she isn't laying a 
claim to a venue held by Thor or any of his buds.

Raiden sneered. "What you are is an overbearing, arrogant, 
self-centered, egotistical, womanizing meddler that has challenged me 
for the last time."

"who has"

The next exchange the two deities of thunder shared was one of >blows 
rather than words. Raiden connected with a fist to Thor's gut first, 

MORTAL KOMBAT!

The rain seemed to increase in direct proportion to Raiden's darkening
mood. "I see that you are as strong as ever, despite your obvious 
weight loss. I shall not underestimate you again."

Somebody get Raiden an appointment with an optometrist.  Incidentally,
why doesn't Thor use her hammer?  It almost seems like her hammer isn't
there as she exchanges punches.  Is it on her belt? 

Do I have to tell you to fix the spelling of Mjolnir?  No, probably not.

"Now who is forced to coo?" Raiden rushed forward again to take on his
opponent in hand-to-hand combat once more.

Thor:  Are you calling me a pigeon?  A winged nuisance that leaves it's 
disgusting droppings everywhere?  That's it!

"Mortals," Xellos sneered as he watched Hawkeye fumble her arrow around 

Not a heck of a lot of Xellos in this character really.  

"Ulik was busy, so he asked me to fill in for him." The troll beat his 
fist
proudly against his chest. "My name is Ulos, The Pretty Damn Powerful. 
I'm
Ulik's little brother."

I'm surprised it wasn't Goro.

Almost casually Ulos drew his fist back, confident that the mortal 
would be
too terrified at his fearsome presence to move. So slow was both he and

blow that Bucky was able to throw a punch of her own first, connected

If Ulos wasn't really trying, Bucky would be able to do a heck of a lot 
more than that.

their
rivalry.

FINISH HIM...uh...FINISH HER!

"so that"

She shouted, "Saotom...err, Bucky Anything Goes School of Superheroic
Combat Final Attack: Haymaker From Hell!"

An attack that would be really easy to dodge except that you shout out 
its name while doing it. 

Bucky flinched. There was something about the way the archer said that 
that
itched the back of her mind. She looked the superheroes over more 
closely. 
"itch" is not a verb.  

Nabiki watched the three heroes depart and sighed. That had been a 
complete
waste of time. She was beat, her clothing torn, and now she had to find

Isn't this about the time that Nabiki should get the idea of forming a
superhero team and licensing their images?

Rio
De Janeiro beach was magnificent. The man had been here nearly two 
weeks,

Don't go "the man", "the man", like that.  In fact, don't bother with 
"the man" at all, unless you actually hold back Hercules name until the 
end.  You might want to mention a few physical details about Hercules,
like his beard, or his muscles.
