KNOWN POWERS:

MARTIAL ARTS: Elektra was a master at Martial Arts, and could Stun and 
Slam opponents of greater Endurance than her Strength.

WEAPONS: Elektra was a Weapons Master, and resolved fights on the 
Incredible column with most weapons. Her weapon of choice was the Sai, 
a three-pronged dagger, which she wielded with Amazing ability, could 
throw with Incredible Agility up to 2 areas away, and which inflicted 
Good Hack & Slash damage.

BACKGROUND: Elektra Natchios, daughter of a Greek ambassador, first met
law student Matt Murdock at Columbia University in New York, and the 
two dated for about a year. Murdock freed her and her father from Greek
terrorists, but the ambassador was slain accidently by police in the 
ensuing gun battle. Following her father's death, Elektra dropped out 
of school, returned to Europe, and resumed her studies in the martial 
arts. Murdock continued his studies in law, and later became the hero 
Daredevil.
After mastering various martial arts disciplines, Elektra sought to 
join a secret organization headed by Stick, the man who taught Daredevil
to use his radar sense. Stick rejected her, claiming her emotions were 
flawed and she was driven by anger. Elektra then joined The Hand, an 
organization of assassins dedicated to global control through covert 
terror. She performed several missions fro this group before leaving to
become a freelance operative, at one point working for the Kingpin of 
Crime. While working freelance, Elektra was cut down by Kingpin's former
assassin, Bullseye, who maimed her with a single throw of a playing 
card and killed her with her own sai. Elektra died in Matt Murdock's 
arms and left Daredevil shattered emotionally for some time. The hand 
disinterred her body and, through a mystic ceremony, sought to return 
her spirit. The ceremony was finished by Stick's followers, and Elektra's
soul was supposedly purified by Daredevil's love and force of will. 
Murdock is, however, unaware that Elektra lives, and her whereabouts 
are unknown.
