Elektra

Elektra Natchios

  • Daredevil
  • Public

Elektra is the daughter of a Greek diplomat who met Matt Murdock while studying at Columbia, and the pair fell in love before her father died in a botched hostage rescue. Turned away by Stick's Chaste, she trained with the ninja cult known as the Hand and became a feared mercenary and the Kingpin's top assassin. Bullseye killed her, but she was revived and has since drifted between villainy and heroism, serving with S.H.I.E.L.D., the Thunderbolts and even briefly wearing the Daredevil costume herself.

Powers and abilities

  • Master martial artist: one of the deadliest hand-to-hand fighters on Earth trained by both the Chaste and the Hand
  • Peak human conditioning: strength, agility and reflexes at the upper limit of human potential
  • Mystic Hand abilities: limited telepathy, telekinesis and precognition gained from her Hand training and resurrection
  • Stealth and assassination: expert at infiltration, pressure points and silent kills
  • Weapons mastery: signature twin sai plus katana, shuriken and three-section staff
  • Multilingual: fluent in Greek, English and Spanish
