Elektra

Name: Elektra Natachios

Alias: Elektra

Powers: mild telepathic abilities, nurtured through training. Not a mutant, though.

Favorite quote: "Oh, you're good. But me -- I'm magic baby!"

First appearance: Daredevil #168.

Friends: Daredevil, Wolverine.

Enemies: The Kingpin, Bullseye, the Hand.

Nationality: Greek. Personally, I've never met any greek ninjas, but hey.....

Chosen weapon: The sai.

Best battle: Versus Bullseye, DD #181. Elektra had one of the most memorable and graphic comic book deaths of all time. She performed well, but got run threw with her own sai. Ouch, that had to hurt!

Least favorite storyline: After her resurrection, she's been rather aimless.

Created by: Frank Miller, who wanted a femme fatale who could compete on even ground with Daredevil, who he was writing at the time. And, just like her Mythological counterpart, this Elektra also had a strange relationship with her father.

Resurrected by: The Hand, a group of shady, quasi-magical ninja assasins. Elektra joined them after Stick, a wise old mentor, refused to train her in fighting. They later brought her back to life.

Where can she be seen?: Occasionaly in Daredevil. Even more occasionaly in Wolverine. Had her own miniseries, appeared in MC2's 'Wild Thing' title as the mother of Wolverine's daughter, Rina, in an alternate timeline.

Elektra links: Resurrection, a lovely page, with a lot of goodies for the Elektra fans out there :)
