I don't think there would be much wrong with it if were the only cliche being hit upon (after all, males are inspired by preexisting heroes/villains as well), but when combined with the other troublesome aspects of her character it is a little more problematic.

Her costuming and manner is fairly sexual. The skin tight leotard that clings to every curve, the deep red lips (which may have different connotations in other cultures and be part of a greater character design, but they're certainly considered sexy to a Western audience), the entire 'this is just the kiss hello' thing...I think she's written in a 'black widow/vampy' sort of way.

I don't know, she just doesn't seem like a particularly well conceived character.
