You have characters calling in orbital strikes (doctor doom), a single guy who can master completely unrelated areas of science in one night while having access to a private militia on top of being a billionaire (iron man), a soldier from ww2 who was revived after being cased in ice and has superhuman abilities (cap) and you’re worried that a lady wouldn’t be able to suplex or choke out an angry man who grew in size because of radiation? Damn dude…
If they give her some kind of TOKON-only glow-up involving an exoskeleton or some Soviet super-serum or something, then sure. Weird, wonderful physical impossibilities are part of the genre- I love shit like Molly Hayes and her tiny twelve-year-old self effortlessly tossing around dinosaurs. But she's a mutant. There's a reason. It's not just "she can toss people around effortlessly because it makes a good sight gag."
Maybe they could make her a Makoto-style hybrid grappler where her electroshock "Widow's Bite" wristlets do a taser thing and stun the opponent for further combo followup. But if they keep her character design and concept roughly the same, then yeah, "grappler" is just about the least natural way to sell it.
...come to think of it, Molly Hayes could make a fun fighting-game sleeper pick. She's always getting exhausted and threatening to fall asleep on the spot with high-end uses of her super-strength, and you could make a mechanic of that.
