Yeah, I\\\'m familiar with Zsasz, but that still leaves the trope question unanswered. Like I said, just being defeated doesn\\\'t make her a FauxActionGirl, everybody gets defeated sometime, it\\\'s about the set up. Before she was defeated here was everybody going \\\"Yeah, Renee\\\'s the best one we have, there\\\'s nothing she can\\\'t do,\\\" to give the impression that she was badass enough to take Zsasz down, or was the set up more along the lines of \\\"Good luck Renee, you\\\'re gonna need it against that whacky SOB\\\" to give the impression that \\\'\\\'Zsasz\\\'\\\' is the super-tough one here.

If it\\\'s the first one then it \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' FauxActionGirl, setting up a woman as an ActionGirl only for her to become a DistressedDamsel for the hero, but if it\\\'s the second then it\\\'s \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' Faux, since she never failed to live up to the original expectations. See what I mean?
