Elektra Natchios is an assassin and the lover of Matt Murdock.

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[]

It was revealed that 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 Miller. Elektra discovered the two 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. A final scene shows Elektra resurrecting Abby the same way Stick resurrected Elektra.

  • In Daredevil, Elektra lacks her trademark red suit because the colour wasn't suitable for hiding a harness.
  • In Elektra, the suit of the protagonist is more similar to the one from the comics, but it's still different from the original because the latter wasn't big enough to protect Jennifer Garner's skin during stunt sequences.
  • 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. Although the suit department did provide a pair of earrings, Jennifer Garner didn't wear them as they were for pierced ears, which she didn't have at the time.

  • Elektra and Matt's playground fight took four days to shoot.
