Elektra?  You used Elektra for Shampoo?  Apart from her relationship to 
"Daredevil" that's a pretty bad fit.  Elektra got her name for two 
reasons.  She's Greek, and she was just a little bit _too_ attached to 
her father.  Her whole original motivation was to avenge her doting 
father's death, and of course Elektra was her real name.  Now Shampoo 
isn't Greek, and doesn't have a father complex, and is working for a 
Japanese ninja cult, so where'd she get the name?  Me, I'm thinking 
"Black Widow" would be a better one.  It's another Daredevil 
ex-supervillain martial artist girlfriend, and all you have to do is 
give her a dead husband, you can justify it.  

Meanwhile if everyone is going to keep misinterpreting Whizzer's name, 
shouldn't someone ask about why Elektra isn't throwing lightning bolts?

What do you mean "even him"?  Tofu isn't given to risque speech, and 
blushes when Kasumi says, "Would you like a cookie?".

Why do ants sneak up on him?  

He stared in awe at bouquet and told Power Man, "Look, she must like me

I don't get that joke.  When did she get to Whizzer's first base?

A fist met the top of his head, one with five times he force he

Now, that's plain clumsy even ignoring the typographical error.

What brings you here?" the Iron Rose asked, using her loudspeakers.

She has more than one?  Hmmm.  Where exactly on the armour are they?
If she wants that stereophonic effect presumably they'd be...

"sensors to keep a lookout for trouble" perhaps?  They aren't two

So we should travel to thine headquarters?" Thor asked.

Agh.  Can't stand it!  "thy headquarters".

Doesn't that make her ears ring when she does that inside that helmet?  
Or does it have an open mouth?  

One last thought.

Shouldn't at some point Thor announce that she's going to avenge

traditional.
