Biography[]

Daredevil[]

Elektra was Matt Murdock's love interest, her father, Nikolas Natchios was killed by Bullseye and she blamed Daredevil for his death. Elektra was trained by Stick as a child so she practiced and held sai that she would use to kill Daredevil.

When Elektra finally confronted the vigilante, she was able to impale him in his shoulder, due to the fact that he was intently holding back in their confrontation, but before she would kill him, she wanted to know, who she would actually be killing.

Elektra unmasked Daredevil and was surprised to find out that he is Matt. Elektra then learned that it was Bullseye, who actually murdered her father, Nikolas.

Ironically, when Elektra confronted Bullseye, who had been attracted to Elektra, due to her beauty, skills and hatred for him, he bested her in their first/only confrontation, slitting half of her throat and impaling her in the gut with her own sai. When Bullseye left, Elektra was able to say goodbye to Matt, just before dying in his arms.

Elektra: On the Rise[]

After being murdered by Bullseye, Elektra's body was rushed to a hospital in an ambulance, which was then ambushed by The Hand, however Stick arrived and took out the members. Elektra then woke up to Stick, who explained that he revived her. Elektra was then sent to take out a rich criminal named Mr. Fawkes.

She took out all of his henchmen with ease, Fawkes did threaten to murder one of his ladies. Eventually Fawkes was killed by Elektra, she then told all witnesses to run from the premises. She left her necklace on one of the sais for Daredevil to find when the crime scene was empty. Elektra embraced that she'd be given a second chance at life and decided to move on with this new one.

Elektra[]

After Elektra died, her old trainer, Stick, resurrected her and trained her in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts in the Way of Kimagure (the ability to control time, the future and life and death) a benevolent dichotomy of the Hand. On expulsion from Stick's school - a life lesson for her heart of anger and hate - Elektra became an assassin for hire. She soon became acquainted with Mark Miller, a single father, and his daughter, Abby. Elektra discovered that they were being hunted down by the organization known as the Hand.

Elektra, with the help of Stick and his assistants, protected Abby and her father. Abby was then revealed to be a great warrior known as the Treasure; a powerful weapon that could tip the scales of the Hand's power. Elektra had a final showdown with the leader of the Hand. If Elektra won, Abby would go free; if the leader of the Hand won, then Abby would belong to the Hand.

In the battle, Elektra was nearly beaten - then, realizing that the Hand leader was her mother's killer, Elektra fatally impaled him through the heart with one of her sai and flipped him down a well where he disintegrated. Elektra then resurrected Abby the same way that Stick had resurrected her.

  • Jennifer Garner didn’t have a lot of time to prepare for reprising her role for the Elektra spin-off.
  • Jennifer Garner missed having Ben Affleck around because he was a huge Daredevil fan that he schooled her and she made sure the rest of the cast of Elektra knew their comic book origins.
  • Jennifer Garner trained for using a bo stick for a couple months.
  • In Elektra, it was originally intended that, along with her trademark red suit, Elektra would also wear a pair of large gold hoop earrings as part of her suit.
