Definitely gratitous, but, we live in am HBO world now so we're going to have to deal with 2-3 issues/episodes of not-necessarily-contextual boobies before we get to the meat of the matter.
I've known Voodoo since WildCATS so seeing her in the strip club is not really a surprise. Her mini series did the same thing, but it was ALL about her being a stripper.
The book has left me curious about what they have made her motivations. Her mini series had her checking out the whole voodoo business and tapping into the gods. This ... she's very aloof. Do the WildCATS have any play at all in this? Or are she and Grifter just to be taken on their own, completely out of that old context. I'm hard pressed to understand, since the reboot ideally should allow for the latter, but half of the rebooted titles still recognize the past.
And yes, unless they've suddenly decided to change her powers, she cannot assume the form of someone else. She's a kherubim/daemonite half breed, so the plot kicker there was actually that the sleezy asshole was goading her into doing exactly what she did and we have to ask ourselves why she was so calm about it after the fact.
